Getting Started Metal Forging / Knife Making
I have a friend from high school who started making knives as a hobby several years ago who happens to live in your neck of the woods (Minneapolis suburb). He now operates it as a small business. He's a really nice guy and could probably give you some tips on how to get started. Here's his... -
Contesting Automated Speeding Ticket
Trial by combat. It's all the rage, nowadays. -
60 Minutes segment on Allegiant Air
That's great, but only if they actually fly and don't cancel flights. I'm still pissed about having to re-book my flight last minute to the Camping World Bowl because Allegiant cancelled the flight three hours before it was supposed to leave. Jerks. -
*** Mafia Sign-Up Thread: THE MANDALORIAN ***
There doesn't seem to be an option to opt-in to those forums anywhere that I can find. All I see under my profile preferences is to remove the In-State Rivals and Politics forums. -
*** Mafia Sign-Up Thread: THE MANDALORIAN ***
FYI - Those past game threads don't open for me...says error. I'm guessing they are housed somewhere I do not have permission to view? -
The Mandalorian (with Spoilers)
No kidding. It's like they want people to hate it before they even see it first! -
The Mandalorian (with Spoilers)
If it were something as simple as an implant, you'd think Mando would have tried to do something about it by now...you know, like take it out or disable it somehow. It seems odd that it hasn't really been addressed yet. Whatever it is or however it works, it appears everyone just accepts that... -
Six Guitars Doing Games of Thrones Theme
This thread reminds me of the Peter Dinklage version of the GoT theme song. I heard it once years ago, and I found myself singing it every damn time I watched the show. So stupid, yet so catchy. lol. -
New TV Shows
If you're into the Jason Bourne movies, there's a TV series premiering October 15 on USA Network. The show is called Treadstone. I'll probably check it out. -
New TV Shows
Undone on Amazon Prime was pretty good. Short 20-30 minute episodes. It's rotoscoped animation (think "A Scanner Darkly", if you've ever seen it), so visually it's interesting. The story was intriguing, and the acting was pretty good. It stars Rosa Salazar (Alita Battle Angel) in the main... -
OT: Ad Astra
Hot take: They knew it was going to be a terrible movie, and this choice was intentional to reflect as much. ;-) -
Iowa State full wall mural?
As an alternative to Fathead type of stickers... In the basement man-cave of our old house, we painted a large ISU logo on one of the walls. It was probably 6 ft. x 6 ft., or so. We rented an old-school overhead projector (can't remember from where) and made a transparency out of the logo... -
OT: Ad Astra
Yeah, I heard it. I even pumped my fist in the theater, excited for the Cyclone win. It gave me a false sense of hope that the movie was going to be good, unfortunately. -
OT: Ad Astra
Other than it being about space travel in general, I'd say no, it's not anything like Interstellar. In my opinion, part of the problem with Ad Astra was it didn't know if it wanted to be Interstellar or 2001: A Space Odyssey. -
OT: Ad Astra
I saw it on Friday and thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever taken the time to see in the theater. I understand what they were trying to do, but I thought the plot and its execution were down-right boring, overly self-indulgent and nonsensical in places. I can see this being...
