YouTube to ban gun demo videos -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 21, 15:44 6
- I wonder how inclusive that description will be. I've used a video on there about how to clean the Winchester 70 I inherited. - crash davis Mar 21, 16:02
- not being sarcastic - no big loss since people who have guns already know how to use them. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 21, 16:01 2
  - Yup. And it looks like the hobbyist reviews are still allowed, too, which I've found helpful. - ReluctantCynic Mar 21, 16:04 1
    - I also found the product reviews real helpful whenever we'd get a new model in at work -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 16:07

Hard Sun - anyone watching? Loved it. I want season 2 now, dammit! -- nm - Covington Mar 21, 15:23 4
- I watched it. Ridiculous show but Richard Coyle of Coupling fame was a baddie so it had that going for it. -- nm - LMS Mar 21, 15:47 1
  - But, but, but conspiracy & good guys who do bad things. Nikki Amuka-Bird was so good. Also, possible end of the world. Or not. -- nm - Covington Mar 21, 16:00
- seems bloody dismal. -- nm - mud Mar 21, 15:27 1
  - Well, there was blood, for sure. -- nm - Covington Mar 21, 15:35
interesting. dogs are being trained to sniff out looted antiquities -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 21, 14:57 3

  - [deleted] 5
    - Do you not like to eBay? I find their listings pretty easy these days. -- nm - David Mar 21, 15:34
    - When my parents moved my brother and I disassembled everything. So many Legos from the late 80s to early 00s. -- nm - MDH Mar 21, 15:21
    - Yeah, I could see having space issues with them after a while. -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 15:05 2
      - I would so build them. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 21, 15:09 1
        
        and then you'd Kragl them? -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 15:10
  - 75-80% or bust -- nm - Beaker Mar 21, 14:45
LOL, CNN breaking news: the Kremlin is telling the Brits they think the US poisoned the spy & his daughter. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 21, 14:39 4

- Maybe as proxy. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 21, 14:40
ST, what say you about this pool? -- (link) - David Mar 21, 14:17 25
- I like it a lot -- nm - Bacon Mar 21, 16:04
- It would be illegal in Australia. No fence, it’s a murder pool. -- nm - mafic Mar 21, 15:21 3
  - So you love it? -- nm - David Mar 21, 15:33 2
    - Well, they probs have a shed full of chemicals, so there’s that. -- nm - mafic Mar 21, 15:35 1
      - Chemicals *and* explosives? Or just chemicals? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 21, 16:02
- The parents that pool could host. Beautiful. -- nm - MDH Mar 21, 14:50 1
  - those crazy parents -- nm - psilotum Mar 21, 15:00
- Not my style at all, but it works if that’s what you’re looking for. -- nm* - znufrii Mar 21, 14:41
- Yeah, as there is a real pool in the cluhouse, I guess I would pass on this one. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 21, 14:41
- it doesn't work, and feels like it was only added to create a false value so the seller could say the house has a pool. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 21, 14:35 1
  - its a planned (and probably gated) community emulating a roman villa -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 21, 14:42
- I love the look, but it has very little practical value. It's too small to really have fun playing in it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 21, 14:23
- I think it would be dangerous if you had small children and if you wanted to sun, I'm not sure it would work, but I love it. That's the type of home - jnine Mar 21, 14:22 2
  - see this explains me too - I love it. - Epiphany Mar 21, 16:06
  - I'm kind of in this boat where I adore the look of it, but I also think it would be a nightmare at times. -- nm - David Mar 21, 14:23
- Love it. Great concept. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 21, 14:20
- I would spend a lot of time out there, not necessarily even in the pool, but out in that area come Spring and Summer. Beautiful. -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 21, 14:20
- Both. I think its impractical for exercise, but I love the Roman Villa look to it -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 14:20 6
  - Agree on the look but in an already humid climate do you really want a pool in the house? -- nm - Meg Mar 21, 14:23 4
    - Until you said something, I assumed this was SoCal. I guess in FL it will give you a place to store your gators. -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 14:25 3
      - Kim and I were talking about this. Gators are already prone to live in Central Florida pools. - David Mar 21, 14:27 2
        
        Instead of posting bum fights on YouTube, you could have gator vs snakehead fights. - crash davis Mar 21, 14:40 1
        
        Well, David's a published author now, with a bunch of extra cash on hand, so he's looking to buy ST a vacation home. - IrishStephen Mar 21, 15:37
  - Yes, this. -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 21, 14:20
- Depends on the location. It would be impractical in Anchorage Alaska, but in the SW US, I would love it -- nm - amoxy Mar 21, 14:20
so dude says:"The dryer in my unit isn't working. The washer is but the dryer isn't". I say "Did you check the breaker?" - crash davis Mar 21, 14:16 3
- technically you never asked if he reset it. “Oh yeah, I checked it. It’s definitely off.” -- nm - mafic Mar 21, 15:23 2
  - that is true, I never asked him the result of him checking -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 15:32 1

Repost from yesterday, but Fortnite iOS made $1.5M in its first 4 days. -- nm - Shaun Mar 21, 14:00 4
- so both that and PUBG are available for mobile platforms. why would I want to play on my phone? -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 14:00 3
  - Because you’re a high school student and that’s 80% of what you use your phone for during the school day. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 21, 14:33
  - I have no idea but then again I don't play anything on my phone. -- nm - Shaun Mar 21, 14:07
  - so you can play while pooping. -- nm - groiny Mar 21, 14:01

  - We have some butt running for gov that has ads that say "As a private businessman, he personally witnessed the effects of the job killing Obama - crash davis Mar 21, 13:28 8
    - Obamacare is now winning a plurality of support in Tennessee - Will Hunting Mar 21, 13:29 7
      - It's probably too sabotaged to work well, though. Too bad they sent all those Republicans to Congress. -- nm - mara Mar 21, 13:34 4
        
        They'll realize they can't repeal it, and now the addicts have a taste of it; so they'll fix it - Will Hunting Mar 21, 13:47 3
        
        I always thought it was a strategic mistake to call it Obamacare as years down the road no one will ever believe it was a GOP plan -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:55 2
        
        huh...Mitt was the 1st politician to use the term, but others used it before him -- (link) - Remlik Mar 21, 14:14
        
        They should have called it something like the "Affordable Care Act". -- nm - Reagen Mar 21, 14:13
      - I'll be positive. If Tennessee evolves, eventually Idaho might as well. -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:30 1
        
        Well, our legislature did pass a bill today requiring schools to prominently display "In God We Trust," so... -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 21, 14:02
- so the two states that tried this approach (KS and OK) have failed spectacularly. KS had to increase taxes to fix things. -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 13:15
- With Don the cons tax cuts or totally going to work right -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 21, 13:12

- Sounds similar to Brownback in Kansas? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 21, 12:56
Tbf,I also noticed what crash did about Wind River but it worked for the drama -- nm - Reagen Mar 21, 12:48 3
- Thanks. I'm glad it wasn't all in my head. I didn't think it worked dramatically for me, because it took me out of the scene. -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:01 2
  - I was also annoyed by the *spoiler* - Guigue Mar 21, 13:03 1
    - I could see it happening with body armor, perhaps. But I didn't care as much about that as I did the consistency -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:06
after playing a bit of PUBG the other week (on PC) I downloaded fortnite to try it out but havent played it yet on xbox. - Truman Mar 21, 12:48 40
- I'd be more for PUBG cause it looks better, Fortnite is too cartoony and I already have Overwatch -- nm - J Mar 21, 14:38 1

  - i get that. what I have heard/been told is that fortnite isnt a greater shooter (its not precise) where pubg is more like - Truman Mar 21, 13:43 16
    - I think the guns in Fortnite have a great feel. - Dignan Mar 21, 13:51 6
      - I have not quite figured out some of the weird shit on some of the guns..... - groiny Mar 21, 13:56 5
        
        A shotgun (green pump or purple tactical) can one shot kill on a headshot. - Dignan Mar 21, 14:03 4
        
        the other thing I don't love about it is the jumping beans. - groiny Mar 21, 14:05 3
        
        I'm not a fan of that either, but unfortunately it's a necessary tactic for survival. nm - Dignan Mar 21, 14:08 2
        
        that is an apt comparison. - groiny Mar 21, 14:10 1
        
        The rocket launcher splash damage or lack thereof is notoriously fickle. nm - Dignan Mar 21, 14:12
    - correct, it is a different kind of game for sure. - groiny Mar 21, 13:45 8
      - I dont play anything at all really right now as I get 1 day a week to relax, do house chores, and shop for food. -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 13:46 7
        
        I consider it to kind of being a mashup of Borderlands and Minecraft. -- nm - groiny Mar 21, 13:48 4
        
        I can see that, from an art style. I almost installed Borderlands 1 on sunday to play that. - Truman Mar 21, 13:50 3
        
        I hope there is something coming out soon that we can get a group to buy into. -- nm - groiny Mar 21, 13:51 2
        
        red dead 2 probably. -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 14:01 1
        
        yeah, I had said that and maybe Black Ops 4..... - groiny Mar 21, 14:02
        
        I am aware. - groiny Mar 21, 13:47 1

- I stopped on Destiny 2 after I started having connectivity issues to the Bungie server, but I'm curious about this game Remlik is shilling - crash davis Mar 21, 13:04 16

        It looks like you get to drive a combine right through a crowd of white supremacists. That would be cool. - crash davis Mar 21, 13:22 4 1
        
        you can also fly a crop duster with guns. and you get a dog as a friend. -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 13:26 3
        
        but he won't truly be my friend because it is groiny's dog -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:29 2
        
        Buy it dinner first. - Will Hunting Mar 21, 13:56
        
        I. you. *shakes head and walks away* -- nm - Truman Mar 21, 13:44
    - Nobody knows. -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 13:17
  - there is a multi player aspect. -- nm - Remlik Mar 21, 13:05 5
    - multi-player and fishing both? you may have just sold a copy -- nm - crash davis Mar 21, 13:07 4
      - I think the multi is a team up against the Cult. -- nm - Remlik Mar 21, 13:11 3
        
        Fiiiiiire. Smoke, she is a rising! -- nm - David Mar 21, 13:15 2
