  1. Good thing he can act, because his art skills are severely lacking.
  2. Yeah, but you can take work calls on the shifter if you WFH. You can do it at the office too, it's just a bit awkward when the stall next to you flushes.
  3. Lol, was this from the drones they were bragging about sending towards Moscow?
  4. Yeah, the advertisement is definitely done in poor taste. Sounds like it's a pretty cheaply made gun compared to some of the classic contemporaries, so I guess they have to try to appeal to those of lesser intelligence.
  5. You've never let a kid sit in your lap and hold the steering wheel while you drive through a neighborhood or pasture? Nobody is just handing a three year old a rifle and telling them to have fun and be safe.
  6. The horror of teaching a young kid to respect firearms and what they can do if they are treated improperly! How will our society ever survive if kids don't think that guns are toys?
  7. It's basically a tactical looking Ruger 10/22 with a better safety.
  8. I mean, if she bought 10 tickets, and there was one other winner, wouldn't she get about 91% of the pot? She's a whole lot less likely to win in the first place, but it's not like the odds were high to begin with.
  9. Which one didn't? The Navy confirmed that whatever it was in those videos was real and they had no idea what it was. Is your contention that we regularly send pilots into scenarios with unknown hostile objects half blind? I bet you're mighty proud of your sixth grade education.
  10. We had fighters in the air, probably a Hawkeye in the sky, and of course the carrier they all were based on. All of those have their own radar to track things. Also, for anything within the line of sight, the ATFLIR has thermography cameras, visible spectrum cameras, laser rangefinders, and laser tracking. So it would have to fool every single one of those technologies as well as the actual pilots who were watching it from every angle it was detected from and do it in the same way so that all the data matches. It would probably have to be alien technology to do that.
  11. Possibly, but it would be a tough pill to fool all our different sensors from all out different ships and aircraft looking at the same spot from multiple locations in the exact same way. Probably as tough or nearly tough as actually making something that could do that. We obviously don't really have enough information to do anything but speculate. But still, the Navy has patented some technology that supposedly should be able to do some of this stuff. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4adpv9/us-navy-has-patents-on-tech-it-says-will-engineer-the-fabric-of-reality
  12. That's definitely enough space to develop a quality deer herd.
  13. Why hit the rut around December? Is that not the secondary rut where you hunt? Mid to late November is where it is at out here.
  14. If you skip all of the ones I've marked up with yellow and red, the one Arc I'd recommend, and I know it isn't popular, is the the Martez sisters Arc in the final season. I know a lot of folks find it annoying, but it is the only material we have of what happens between when Ahsoka leaves the Jedi order and the last four legendary episodes of Clone Wars. Mind the gap, I guess. There is a lot of character development there, as well as the ruthlessness of the Pykes.
  15. How many acres is it, and what are the sizes of the adjacent plots? We have 350ish acres of family land between my mom and aunt and uncle that is mostly only hunted by me, and I am getting some pretty quality pictures of deer on my lone camera. Also, this guy who I saw about 300 yards away down an oil field road while I was hunting with my flintlock which has about 200 inches of drop and only 100 foot pounds of energy at that range...
  16. I'll make a list for Rebels when I'm done watching it, but spoiler alert, it includes all of them.
  17. Here you go. The ones marked out in red don't really add anything to the plot. The ones in yellow are still worth watching if you want to watch all but the most unnecessary episodes. I marked the episodes as I watched them, so I should probably go back through the list and make sure there isn't anything important to the overall plot in any of the ones I marked, but Clone Wars really isn't like Rebels where seemingly unimportant stuff turns out to be important later on. And remember, this list was created with the mindset of watching as much as possible and only skipping the most useless episodes. But speaking of Rebels, I just finished rewatching season one of Rebels, and with watching them back to back, the difference in the overall writing quality is pretty obvious. Aside from the last few episodes of Clone Wars, while the story lines are great in Clone Wars, the writing in Rebels is leaps and bounds ahead of Clone Wars. It is a much better series overall from that perspective, especially if you exclude the last four episodes of Clone Wars, which is probably some of the best Star Wars content ever written if you've watched the rest of the series enough to be invested in Ahsoka's arc.
  18. I watched it, and saw a few things wrong with his assumptions, but I need to watch it again to confirm a few things.
  19. The concensus, if you could call it that, is that they were there all along, or at least often enough, and we just couldn't see them until we upgraded our radars. Once we upgraded our radars and were able to see them, they sent pilots to investigate and we got the tic tac video. The gimbal video was originally leaked in 2007 here: https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread265835/pg1 So they didn't really have much of a choice in that matter. It didn't get the attention of the public until it was leaked again along with the others several years ago.
  20. Oh, we have much of that stuff. It's just classified.
  21. I think I saw a while back that all their files are on paper and kept in the drafting offices. So if you burn it down they don't have good records of you and it makes it harder to get drafted.
  22. True story, I drank quite a bit one Saturday night while I was home for the weekend in college. I went to church the following morning with my parents, but got sick and threw up an ascaris roundworm. I knew that was what it was because I had just disected one in my zoology class. I had spent the summer traveling in west Africa, but there were some estimates that the prevalence of them in the US is actually pretty high, so who knows where I picked it up. Anyhow, the math checks out.
  23. Finished my binge rewatch of The Clone Wars (complete with notes on which episodes to skip and which ones to maybe skip for someone who wants to watch themajority of the series and not miss out on any important or interesting arcs), and one episode down of Rebels. Let's see if I can finish it before this comes our, since it looks like it is basically season 5 of Rebels.
