    This reminds me of a piece I read years ago in which NHL players were put through the (IIRC) NFL combine, and NFL players through a series of NHL (tests the details of which I no longer remember.)

    Whoa that Presta one is brilliant - ordering. Thanks, great suggestions.

    Hey - enough people here have drooled on and trialed enough gear that maybe someone will have a suggestion.

    I want an L-shaped bit driver for pocket carry. Ideally, the bits would stay attached to...

    Personally I just keep plowing most of my money into index funds, and hold back a relatively small amount, say 10%, for snap buys. I recently did well on TSLA, for example, because I figured there...

    My hope is that I'll have enough warning to say goodbye to everyone, climb onto a wooden boat with a few hay bales and ten or fifteen gallons of kerosene and a 1911, get offshore where I don't pose a...

    I find it darkly humourous that I think I've never met a person who wouldn't agree with the following statement:

    "If you want better kitchen staff in your restaurant, you need to pay more and...

    Yeah, I think they'd both like to be in a position to speak publicly about it - one started to post about it on his personal FB page but reined it in pretty fast. The other has only spoken privately...

    Would I point it at someone and pull the trigger without checking it? No, probably not. But I'm not someone who's likely to have much difficulty discerning blanks, or bad handling practices. It...

    I don't know what Alec Baldwin's level of responsibility was as a producer; I don't know how "in charge" he was there and I don't know what buck stops with him because I don't know how the chain of...

    I have said this forever and I'm stoked to see these. I use offset Surefires or something and I've always thought the complexity of the A2 rear was silly for the application. If I think I need red...

    I use one of their sliming knives as my boat knife, actually. Fantastic for bleeding and gutting fish. Cheap enough that you don't cry when one goes overboard...as long as you know you have a...

    Leaving aside the general "well this seems nuts" vibe, I'll say that I clicked on the first video and about five seconds in, I thought, man, if I got a grip on the wrist of a guy holding a knife,...

    When I was four years old, they had the Santa tracker on the evening news and apparently the news anchor had a kid with the same first name as me. They gave an update on Santa's location and then...

    I was thinking about this question last night and I think the answer is - or maybe a better way to put that is "the answer that I would give is:"

    It's the same ethos as five years ago, or ten, but...

    Personally I'm always a bit cold on "yet another manufacturer is building a 1911" but at the same time, I guess gluts bring down prices, not that I can import that stuff anymore (nor do I need...
