  1. You're right Smith. He could have made things easy in himself. But he didn't have to and chose not to. I'm not sure if I hope he wins or not, but if this played out the way it's described in the OP, he has every right to be upset, especially when the cops started threatening trumped up charges to get a law abiding citizen to consent to be treated like a criminal while being detained against his will for having commited no crime. Bad spot for everyone involved. At the very least I'd like to see the officers in that dept receive better training on how to handle this kind of call.
  2. He could sell it on Gunbroker.   "Some light scratches on the cylinder, but hard to notice. I'd say it's 90%"
  3.     You're making a mistake in your logic there. He was not commiting a crime in Ohio by OC'ing. They have legal OC without a permit in Ohio, as peejman said. Mr. Call believes that the police had no right to detain him and is suing because of it.   No doubt the cops will respond to an MWAG call. They should. But upon arrivng on the scene and seeing Mr. Call doing nothing more than being a normal customer, should have done nothing more than kept an eye on him until he left the store and went on his way.
  4. I thought maybe it was a tactical zombie crayon.
  5. Make it yourself the night before. Makes mornings move faster.
  6. I once worked with a very nice lady named Gay Hooker.
  7.     The things is, I don't think they are any more. S3 was all Rick vs Guv.
  8. The only update I know of is that he no longer holds pig races and replaced the track with a large painted sign of a cross and a star of David.
  9. Yeah, I get all that. But I can get that living vs. living drama in other TV shows. What sets TWD apart is that it has zombies. Marginalize them and the writers have marginalized what draws in new viewers and keeps old viewers interested. I mean, take away the zombies from every episode and replace them with other human survivors of EOTWAWKI and the show is just another suvival show. Cool, but not zombie cool.   I know it has its haters, but I kind of like Falling Skies. They've kept the focus on humans v. aliens. By the end of last season it was starting to get dull because it was becoming human v. human for the last 2 episodes. I hope they get away from that plot quickly for the next season.
  10. There's something similar but far scarier in the works at the DOD called ARGUS. Instead of one camera that moves on a gimbal to point in a specific direction like UAV cameras do now (looking at one thing at a time), it has an array of digital camera sensors. Since each sensor collected its own image, an operator could "zoom in" on one or more specific spot(s) without losing the overall picture. Currently when a UAV camera zooms in, that's all the operator can see. This would allow operators to watch a very large area, but zoom in on a house, or multiple houses while keeping the big picture in place.   Each image from each sensor is stitched together in software to provide the large overall pic and be able to zoom as needed. It also added object tracking capabilities to lock on to a person or vehicle and follow it.   Same concept as in the OP, but real-time, and having both big picture and zoom (and multi-zoom at that). It would be like being able to zoom in on that crowd and see the face (or multiple faces) while still seeing the full cityscape in another monitor, and all from one camera sensor array.   Here's a write-up from the UK's Daily Mail.   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2269563/The-U-S-militarys-real-time-Google-Street-View-Airborne-spy-camera-track-entire-city-1-800MP.html
  11.   I agree. I said something about that up the thread somewhere. During S1, we were fearful for the characters. During S2, not so much, but that's because there weren't many Zs at all. When they did show up  in S2 (Shane & Otis in town, In town when they picked up the guy from the other group, Rick and Shane at the school to get rid of the same guy, the finale) they were scary and we feared for the characters. All through S3, the Zs have been an annoyance to the group, not a threat.   If the writers want to make this show interesting again, they need to make the Zs scary again. But without doing that with hoardes of them (ie. expensive), I don't see how they can. They made them so easy to kill in S3, so that ship has sailed. There's no plausible way to go back to having to destroy the brain stem like they said at the CDC in S1. Apparently a 2" knife in the eye is enough now.       Bad news on another front: AMC has pushed back the last 8 episiodes of Breaking Bad to August 11 from an earlier reported July airing. Each episode will be followed by Talking Bad much like Talking Dead follows each episode of TWD.
  12. He is wanted for questioning by both the NOLA PD and E! Network's Fashion Police.
  13. Get  a new mattress.   http://allrecipes.com/recipe/general-tsos-chicken/
  14. I'm also RH/LE. I close my right eye and lean my head over. I know it's not how I'm supposed to shoot, but I'm worthless with my left hand. Shooting clays, I put a sticker over my left lens to force my right eye to provide a single image to my brain. It works well for that, but I can't do that with handguns and rifles. From what I've read from the "experts", learning to shoot lefty is the best way to do it, but most guns on the market are righty, so that adds some challenge to an already uncoordinate left hand.
  15. They do a really funny one of a Michael Buble video.
  16.   Who said it has to "look" like a gun? 3D printing...anything is possible.
  17. The Guv singing about Broadway was perfect.
  18. Bad Lip Reading did some great ones during the Presidential campaign, but I think this is my new favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4lLJu_-wE&feature=player_embedded  
  19. Sounds like you need a shovel ready project. http://thebrigade.thechive.com/2012/12/06/diy-shovel-to-ak-47-50-photos/
  20. FYI - If anyone wants to search Craigslist using something like www.searchtempest.com for one of these Honda genny's, don't use the model number. Just search for "honda generator". You'll get other results (including cars, boats, ATVs, and cheap generator brands with a Honda motor) that you'll have to filter through, but some people will list an EU2000i as an i2000, 2KW, EU2000, 2000i, small red one, the quiet kind, ...you get the idea. They will all have "honda" and "generator" in the ad.   I find that searching Craigslist works best if I keep the search terms as generic as possible.
  21. I see Honda EU2000's going on Craigslist for as low as $550-$600 each. You have to watch for a while to see one of those and grab it quickly, but they're out there.
