I started out with 1.25, but when that started to feel normal, I bumped up to 1.5. Now that feels normal and being forced to use 1x sounds like the speaker is on methadone to my ears. :D

So, you folks that listen to podcasts...

What speed? 1x, 1.3x, 1.5x, 2x?

1.5x here. I do the same on YT and Netflix.

I said steel core but misspoke. It's the steel jacket that is the problem because it can cause fires at outdoor ranges. Either way, steel cases garner scrutiny from the ROs and their...

I haven't purchased much from them but recently I bought 2 of their 15rnd Glock 48 (and others) mags. Both failed to lock back on empty within a single range trip, a problem that seemed to be...

Can't read while driving, which is where I listen to podcasts.

My list:
Camerosity (analog photography)
The Catch Bit Show (traditional pocket knives)
Classic Camera Revival (analog...

Frroooooooggggg Baseballllllll!!! :D

I loved how the interviewer broke character when Beavis was identified or how both Beavis and Butthead kept cracking up. I hope both instances were...

I think you're going to have to be a Gen X or late Boomer to get that one. :D

My local school system has an Econ class in High School that also covers personal finance. I can't recall if it's an elective or not, but Thing 1 took it. Thing 2 is only a sophomore and I think...

Should be g2g. My buddy uses their cheaper portable version.

Are you saying he's...The Ass Man!?! :D

On one of my trips to the UK, I was in the office with my teammates and one of them received a package he was excited to open. As I watched him fumble with all sorts of implements trying to break...

Very often just looking and acting like you belong is enough for most folks...to the chagrin of security-minded folks everywhere.

That's also a common social engineering and physical pen testing tactic.

Necro-thread time...

If anyone is interested, Brownells has this slide on sale for $99.

I liked it too, but I didn't realize it was a reboot of the McConaughey movie. I just assumed they were "similar" themes.

I saw Dune II last night. Loved the movie overall, but didn't like how...

No Scottish ancestors here, they're all English, but I talk to every day at work and we have an office in Glasgow, so I've heard them say it enough to know she was mostly correct except for the...

I totally read that in the Lucky Charms leprechaun's voice. :D

Sent this to my manager, who is a scot on the east coast of Scotland. I can understand him just fine, unless he starts using Scottish colloquialisms. :D

I spent a week in Glasgow for work back in...

I used to have one of Buck's Custom Shop 110s with BG42 steel, brass bolsters, and red pickbone scales. Beautiful knife, but too nice and too heavy to carry and use. I sold it after owning it for a...

No. I won't have a knife with a partially serrated blade.

They're hard to sharpen, don't work particularly well, and I've yet to run into something I couldn't cut with a properly sharpened plain...

I had a full sized Sodbuster when I was in Jr High. I don't know what happened to it, it just "disappeared" sometime in the distant past. I also had a bunch of "American Made" Schrade Old Timer...

The only one I have that is getting to that age is my maternal grandfather's Boker pen knife. I don't carry it because it's not in great shape and I don't want to put further wear on it. My family...
