  • Completely agree with your points. I own several AR-15s (that I refer to as assault rifles in long form and AR in short form) and even battle rifles and if you even walk into any gun store they would call them AR. Which they’d say means armalite rifle, except that it’s a brand name… so it would certainly seem they’re either saying Kleenex, or it’s referring to something with a more common name… just gun people think anyone saying “assault rifle” isn’t in the know or is looking to take their guns. Which is stupid.

    Common parlance is changing and it’s very simple.






  • The moss on the wood retaining wall say this isn’t near a warm/desert climate.

    That said, it’s a RAM TRX. Great truck for dune jumping and pleasantly reliable. My only complaint with them is that it’s a whole lotta horse power for a truck whose tires limit it to 104. I love going fast in my fun cars, but the sacrifices Baja trucks (raptor and TRX) make are just pointless to me. Great resale values though.


  • I like how you’re calling bullshit on a study because you feel like you know better.

    Read the report, and go check the study. They note that the biggest gains in human visibility for displays comes from contrast (largest reason), brightness, and color accuracy. All of which has drastically increased over the last 15 years. Look at a really good high end 1080p monitor and a low end 4k monitor and you will actively choose the 1080p monitor. It’s more pleasing to the eye, and you don’t notice the difference in pixel size at that scale.

    Sure distance plays some level of scale, but they also noted that by performing the test at the same distance with the same size. They’re controlling for a variable you aren’t even controlling for in your own comment.


  • Brother he’s working a job throughout this entire story. That by default means he’s not a bum. He can be completely content being in one place. Hell I worked in school districts with plenty of people that were “lifers” and that didn’t make them bums.

    It’s more so sad from his angle of he still doesn’t have a person to be with. He could also be banging people left and right and not meant for monogamy. Still not a bum.
