I just wanted to take this opportunity to say " Fuck Ollie"

It isn't, but it drives clicks.

It's amazing how many times I see this same headline, year after year. It's always a dude, too.

It was basically three spud guns mounted on an adjustable base. It's fun seeing how high they go.

Sorry mate. I'm on the Voyager app and there was a huge delay in notifications.

This was basically three potato cannons mounted in an adjustable mortar formation. You could fire off three before having to reset.

I feel like I need Facebook. I used to belong to dozens of forums between RC cars, aquarium stuff, and robotic stuff. All but one has shuttered, and Facebook Groups are my only option to connect with people for my hobbies, especially locals. Even state clubs used to have their own forums.

The Talos Principle.

I just stopped playing it one day and never touched it again. I didn't dislike anything about it.

The world wasn't interesting enough for me. It felt like the same 45 minute game loops over and over again.

I dont know. I think there could be an inventory of replicas. You can get a 1911 in multiple calibers already, as you can many revolver frames. There's no reason they couldn't make custom ones.

With all the money spent on films, I'm amazed there isn't regulated "Hollywood" caliber firearms. Something incapable of chambering anything on the market, and only functions with the certified blanks.

Something akin to the way fake currency is controlled.

Different watches for different occasions, just like ties, shoes, glasses, and every other piece of jewelry. One of those belonged to his grandfather, and another was a gift from his dad when he graduated college. I don't think any of his watches cost more than $500, which, in the watch collecting world, isn't a ton of money.

. “We’re poised now for many years of discovery ahead, and we’ll be looking at everything from our solar system to exoplanets to distant galaxies. Hubble plays a powerful role in NASA’s astronomical toolkit.”

So glad to hear! It's an amazing piece of hardware. I know it's had plenty of repairs over time, but I'm always a bit amazed that it's still functioning.

 

It doesn't look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.

 

Man, the Speed Chamions series have really come a long way. My 6-wide F40 is one of my favorites on the shelf. It's got a type of charm that the 8-wide don't have.

That being said, I can't wait to park one of these next to my Countach!

 

It works too! I fit a movement in behind the face.

I didn't design this print. I modified the one that can be found here to feature my dad's initials on the watch face: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:619550

 

I'm jealous they just get to chill and lick themselves all day.

 

It almost looks like it was grafted or something. Does anyone know what's going on?

 

I watched this movie for the first time in at least a decade last weekend. I still enjoyed it as much as my younger self did.

It's pretty stupid, but it's full of 90s charm and Chris Rock.
