That is a remarkable story. I'm at work right now, but I'm going to see if I can more details tonight.

So many questions but I'll start with just one: how did that ramshackle hut survive 49 days out at open sea? He must have been extraordinarily lucky not to have encountered any serious storms.

I find this kind of research fascinating. This one's a little more abstract, identifying traits like Etiquette and Self-Transcendence, which I'm still trying to digest. The second link is to the underlying study for those who want to take a really deep dive into this. https://curiosity.com/topics/th...

I dearly love the Forgotten Weapons YT channel. Ian McCollum usually reviews cool old firearms. And I was aware that the Zip 22 was a spectacularly stupid idea. For some reason, I didn't track that it was also a spectacularly crappy gun. And what I was completely unaware of was that the two in combi...

Family Dollar, Wilmington, NC - September 2018 after a minor Hurricane. I wonder if the reporter would be shocked if some thug started beating on her and the camera person? All I know is she's either got brass knockers bigger than mine below her belt or is just naive. I know I wouldn;t even approac...

They chose unwisely

Indeed. Now, the penitent man will pass ...

That said by the time the authorities likely arrived it is probable the store was already throughly looted. It was likely already looted well before then. That was definitely the case based on SCBrian's linked video in his post on the previous page of this thread. It's worth a watch, for its tragi-...

Personally I prefer the .50 cal cans. the several plastic ones I tried did not work as well so I used to bring ammo to the range since they are a lighter. BTW a storage suggestion. Buckets used to store pool chlorine tablets can hold a lot of ammo. It is my understanding (not that I ever do this my...

In college, we studied Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development. People operating at the very first, lowest stage of moral development distinguish between right and wrong in terms of whether or not an action will result in punishment. In other words, something isn't truly "wrong" if there's n...

I haven't been here in ages, but I'm working with one of the Cajun Navy groups again during Florence. Florence is expected to stall out and flooding may get pretty bad before this is all over. If you know of anyone who needs rescue, please direct them our FB group. Thanks ZS. https://www.facebook.c...

Can you use an impact gun like a drill? I'm completely unfamiliar with them. Except my air impact wrench which only takes sockets. I suppose you could if you used hex shank drill bits. But honestly a dedicated drill driver is a much better tool for making holes and driving screws. A variable clutch...

Bonus points if you knew the North Pond Hermit. Greetings from southern Maine.

I came across this, for you Terminator junkies...

If someone would add Marty McFly and Doc Brown to that timeline, I'd frame it and hang it on my wall.

AI can do a lot like take peoples fast food orders but there are things where AI cannot take over.

So said the duty officer when they activated Skynet.

This from the big box mob before a disaster of undetermined magnitude even happens. Imagine what unprepared people will do in the days following a major disaster that has actually occurred. Especially if it looks like a governmental response will not be coming anytime soon. A hurricane is scary. A d...

Update #3 Well, the storm is downgraded ... I have now filled all of my Specter and Rhino water containers. ... I also have my trash can filled for flushing toilets and will fill one of my bathtubs Friday afternoon. I've broken out the propane grill (for us outside of course) as well as my alcohol ...

...not because I’m worried about anything in particular, but because ammo and spare parts prices are so dang low! Even retail prices around here make it worth stocking up when it’s on sale. For example: $0.35/round for 5.56 with free shipping plus 10 “free” mags at PSA That’s a good bit cheaper tha...

EDIT: Extra Scepter 20 L container acquired and filled. Good excuse to buy a nice new water container.

And a follow up... barrel and upper recever for $90!!! :shock: https://www.primaryarms.com/bear-creek-arsenal-16in-556-nato-government-contour-stainless-steel-ar-15-barrel?trk_msg=1M841DNQ4QHKH1TA6K9TA3HUHG&trk_contact=7P3J1TTFRG5OGFH3L1LVC49NKG&trk_sid=EA154OEQF40T3JD0JPHNOLTMA4&utm_source=listrak...

Update #2 ... Wally World was out of water but area grocery stores have been receiving daily shipments which seem to be gone within a few hours. It seems inland water is still available but only in spurts. From this, I'm HIGHLY valuing the ease of my six and seven gallon water containers. I've been...
