Here's an example of AI in its primitive state (posted two years ago)... You Tube "Oct 27, 1963 CBS News Special Report On Outbreak of German Civil War (TNO)" Made to resemble a newscast of the time in an alternate future....now take that a few years up the road and you can see just how much of...

As is the usual with such events, fingers will be pointed, blame shifted, excuses made, and so on. I will make no further comment on that here tonight. What I will make comment on here and submit for your approval (to quote the late, great Rod Serling) is two problems to well consider: First-...

That and the fact their corporate people took an "up yours" attitude toward its customer base while doing so. Despite it not changing logos I think the damage has been done...but only time will tell. BTW I ate at a Cracker Barrel only once...I actually left hungrier than when I went in...last...

Equus, I remember. We replaced our 45's with M9's when they first hit the FMF and I got to famfire it for guard duty. We were ordered to carry them fully loaded with a round in the chamber..a significant change from the 45's. Then the "problems" came up and the Berettas were recalled and while...

It really doesn't matter over all, although I stand by what I have previously written in this forum about it, handguns are not a big priority with the military. When we had the .45's back in the 80's, we carried two magazines loaded with five rounds each in the pouch...the weapon was empty and...

This. Over the years I have worked in and around industries with this philosophy. One thing I see left out is this: GREED! It is no longer about just making money...it is to make as much as you can as quick as you can before someone finds out. I've been in meetings where the corporate guys harp...

Once...never again. The person I was...the one they knew...no longer existed. I wrote on here about my experience a long time ago.

I had a boatload of Wolf steel cased 9mm. The lacquer coating on the cases would jam my Browning HP after five shots. The mystery metal jacket on the bullets caused more sparks than a cheap Hollywood action movie. But it worked outstandingly in my Hi-Point carbine...which is what I save the...

Hmmmmm....how much does it weight/cost/where can I get one? I have this bugout bag.......

As has been written, regardless of what is done or how it's done, the SIG P320 is done. It will always and forever have a stigma attached to it and that will not go away. The best thing SIG could do is cut its losses and cease production of newer ones before SIG's already battered reputation...

"The more you complicate the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." I've worked with guys that had their rifles and sidearms with so many "tacti-cool" items hanging off of them you didn't know where the gadgets ended and the weapon began. To me it adds weight and complications to...

Ok, you can all stop...you're making me hungry.

Alas, oh, durian...I remember thee well...a fruit of infinite stink. When I travelled the far east, you found out REAL quick what a durian was. Went to Chinatown here some time back and there was a small fruit shop that sold them....I could tell from over a hundred yards away. I had flashbacks.

I have a suggested use for politicians who complain about an item common in most kitchens since long before most of us were born. Unfortunately, such a suggestion posted here would get me automatically banned from here until 2525.

One thing to consider is versatility of the .357. A 357 will handle 38 Special whereas the 38 is pretty much 38. With a snubnosed magnum I can carry everything from 38 Short Colt, 38 Long Colt, 38 Special, 38 SPL+P and +P+, shotshells and 357 magnum all in one handgun. There are always...

Used to be more accurate when the news just had "weathermen/women" and a chart than meterologists with the latest warp-powered super mega doppler radar of death. I usually go to NOAA's website for my forecasts...they are often radically different than the newscasts....and far more accurate...

Most I get these days are very bad AI trying to get me to say "yes" (this is recorded and used to try to scam access to your private stuff on line). Since they are recorded, I like to use a demonic voice and tell them "Thank you for calling the United Church of Satan...all our operators are...

A gunshow...IN CANADA????? I am impressed!

I'd be highly curious as to what some of those prospects were.

In August of last year, I started a thread on this very subject. I stand by what I wrote in that thread. Man will go back to the moon in my lifetime. But we are years away from trips to Mars. We just aren't there yet nor will be for a long time to come. So to imagine a monstrous vessel carrying...
