  1. Kind of a twist on this topic but funny. Helping my mom buy her first laptop. So we are in BestBuy looking at laptops when sales guy comes over to help. Mom tells the sales guy she needs a new laptop as she is going to a Red hat convention. Sales guy spends the next 5-10 minutes thinking that my mom works for Red hat (the software company) or that she is a hacker. Mom is oblivious to this and is talking about the Red hat as in old ladies in purple clothes. Then there is me trying not to laugh my ass off as neither one catches onto what the other is talking about.
  2. What I am hearing there is that it's so hard to tell natural Climate change from so called manmade climate change that you just need to trust us. It's not like scientists have ever made any mistakes before. You know like scientifically proving bee's can't fly. Also I am as big of a fan of the Muppets as any normal person but should we really be taking climate change advice from someone that must have done that much LSD?
  3. Ya the OP hasn't been back to be made fun of in a bit so it's getting old.
  4. And the Lizard people control the Cabal?
  5. Climate change is a thing. But is it a thing we have any control over. We know that the planet has been both Hot af and Frozen like a ice cube at a time when mankind was living in a cave trying to invent fire by rubbing things together.
  6. A CC size piece of titanium would only be a couple USD retail. Get 100k made in China for cheap.
  7. I have seen that documentary. Patrick Swayze was in it right? No only French Canadians and the wannabe French are communists. They are planning to take over Canada with Poutine.
  8. I think you are confused. But I am sure we can all agree that Justin Trudeau used Russian Hackers to start the fake hurricane to drive all the retired Canadians out of Florida and home to Canada to vote for him in the upcoming election.
  9. CES would probably be fine. Takes a lot to fill Las Vegas. Even something that is not open to the public. Just a bunch of there YouTube and industry fiends as quests.
  10. Everyone knows that the Illuminati are the ones behind global warming not hurricanes and the freemasons control tornadoes.
  11. NO No that's all wrong. It was clearly Russian hackers.
  12. It's marketing wank. They are trying to infer that there little battery operated blender is as powerful as a big wall power model. I think they are normally advertised as around 1500w Watts are commonly used as a measure of a motors power.
  13. Ok. I have no issues helping the Glock parts wear in with a little light stoning and some lapping compound.
  14. Also not a lawyer but am Canadian. Magazines in Canada are controlled themselves and under a couple different rules. I think Chronified you might be getting hunting laws or gun club rules and firearm laws confused. Hunting laws will be different between provinces but I believe most are three rounds for shotguns and five rounds for semi automatic centerfire rifles. Some gun clubs have a load no more then five rule. As for firearms law it is not the firearm that has a magazine capacity restriction but the magazine. So under Canadian law the magazines are controlled. We are also allowed to modify higher capacity magazines to only hold the legal capacity. But this must happen before it is brought into Canada. Magazines that are designed and manufactured for use in a handgun are limited to ten rounds. Magazines that are designed and manufactured for use in a semi automatic centerfire long gun(rifle or shotgun) are limited to five rounds and Magazines that are designed and manufactured for use in a rimfire long gun or manual action long gun are not limited. So this is where things get interesting. There are all the pistol caliber carbines lately that use pistol magazines. They are legal at ten rounds if you are using a pistol magazine. If someone was to make a magazine specifically for the carbine then that magazine would be limited to five rounds. There have also been problems lately with some manufacturers branding there magazines as for two types of firearms. The S&W MP15-22 they make both a rifle and pistol. The rifle would normally have no limit and the pistol would be ten rounds. However as they make one magazine and sell it for both the rifle and pistol the government has taken the position that the more restrictive ten round limit applies. They are also trying to do this to Ruger 10/22 magazines. There are also exemptions to these rules. There are a list of exemptions like the M1 Garand is still allowed eight rounds. So if you are looking for a magazine for a .22 rimfire rifle there is probably a legal magazine larger then five rounds. If you let us know what the rifle is we can probably help.
  15. You are going through a breakup with a significant other and you know they have some of your passwords and have used them before. What idiot doesn't change there password? Worked at NSA. Quick someone go see if you can log into the NSA with Password as the Password.
  16. Interesting. Haven't got a chance to fire the G48 or G43X but they felt good. What where you using standard or +p loads?
  17. Try the Glock 48 basically a single stack G19. As you say many of the compacts are not that compact. But you usually give up a good deal of shoot ability.
  18. Have a look at Harbor freight tools. They have a number of different carts. https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/moving-supplies.html They also have a lot of ok tools for cheap.
  19. I would say if he is not on a build team 100% he will be part of the testing/judging.
  20. Make that three then. Thought they where in QC for some reason.
  21. There is actually a couple Canadian screwdriver companies. Two that I know of are actually based out of BC same as LMG.
  22. How about Linus and Anthony VS. Luke and Alex. Good idea. Another take would be to get say Anthony to find a prebuilt and the only changes he can make are free. OC, updates, Clean up Windows or maybe even run it on linux Do you think Manchester might work as the second city? Couple ideas I have had are No name components. Other then the CPU. Maybe they could just get that from the LMG stash. Everything has to be no name like aliexppress or banggood parts. Couple problems I see are shipping. Probably have to give them like 6 months time. Early videos would probably be more vlog like. give Linus and Luke a camera to shoot them finding and buying parts. Then have a different editor cut together each's footage into there part of the biweekly? video. That way they can fake each other out and stuff. The second is calculating the budget. Some parts are bound not to show up or not work. I think there needs to be the max system as built price. Then a total max you can spend. If not I could see Linus ordering way more then what makes it into the final system. The second idea is Scrapyard wars even jankier addition. Give them the same budget PC or budget pc parts to start. Then they have a budget to mod it. The catch is they can't use any actual computer parts. So things like automotive and Christmas light RGB. Homedepot water cooling. Using USB fans as case fans. Then have them judged on looks, performance and uniqueness.
  23. If you only have $200 there is a long list of Walther PP/K and Makarov derivatives from East Europe that are better options. Hell I would carry a TT before one of them. You could mount a red dot to a Hi point before haven't you seen this video.
  24. Microsoft had a chance but a number of things killed it. At this stage they would have to fight not just Apple but Google/Android/Chrome. Most users would be fine with Android phone, tablet and a Chrome book. I would say the only hopes of recovery would be Apple finally shooting themselves in the foot pushing there BS to far and things simultaneously blowing up over at Google with security and data harvesting.
