12 hours agoI really can’t stress the importance of having seen Star Wars in the theater in 1977. It was a mind-blowing experience.

The files are sorted by the numeric year first, up to 1950.
The two files for 1950 are together, as they should be.
But the letters are sorted alphabetically, so XI comes before XV. It doesn’t see that they are numbers, it’s reading them as letters.
If they want it sorted correctly, they should rename the files:
“1950 - 018
1950 - 019”That would work. Interestingly enough, so would:
“1950 - Eighteen
1950 - Nineteen”
4·3 days agoDigging the 3rd one from the top… it’s my style!
Excused or un-excused?
I have 2 shotguns, a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge, and a Henry .410.
A lot of people will tell you a .410 isn’t as useful, but it all depends on what you load it with. 😉
For example, I’m set up with these:
Each trigger pull sends a slug and 2 ball bearings. So a gun that holds 5+1 rounds actually has 18 projectiles in it.
OTOH - The Shockwave goes “CLICK-CLACK!” and the sound alone could make an intruder shit themselves. Super satisfying on your end, super scary on the other end.
Great idea for a thread!
I always stress that guns are tools and, like any tool, you need the right tool for the job.
For example:
If this is the job:
This is the wrong screwdriver:
You need the right tool for the job. So when it comes to guns, what do you want to do?
Hunt? What sort of game? Pests? Small game? Large game? Birds? Are you hunting for food or pest elimination?
Home defense?
Concealed carry?
These are all vastly different categories and have different positives and negatives.

121·5 days agoI mean in the actual article, you would have thought one of the professionals would have dropped it. 😉
Nobody is going to drop the quote from Orwell’s 1984? (sigh) I guess it’s true, people HAVE stopped reading. 😞
“‘War is Peace’, ‘Freedom is Slavery’ and ‘Ignorance is Strength’”
141·6 days agoWhat the column has you do is disable Gemini access in Mail, but it is still on for search.
I did all that ages ago and re-confirmed, it’s still all disabled…
But Gemini persists:
Throwing sod in a back yard. I’ll never do that again.
There’s a documentary about it:
There was even a sequel:
Who doesn’t enjoy wood furniture? 😉
“Portland, y’all want Portland.”
Some reviewers are just stupid people. I remember seeing a review of a game where they continually complained about the camera… the camera that was 100% player controlled on the right stick.
Did they just, not once, ever, try to move the camera? Yeah, that would be a bad experience in a 3rd person game…
