Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?

It doesn't surprise me that there are more and more restrictions on what can be discussed on social media platforms like Facebook. I'm talking restrictions on basic interests, like knives, for example. A lot of content creators on YouTube are having to go to other platforms to freely discuss certain...

Re: Heat Wave/Heat Stroke/Heat Exhaustion: What are your advice/thoughts?

You'll want to drink plenty/lots of water, but not to the point of water intoxication.

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

'What Would You Do in this Scenario?' *Video below* The question is rhetorical. There is no real answer, because no one knows, unless or until it happens to them. And even then, every situation, and the people involved, are different. I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of the guys who always...

CERN Scientists Build Demon Portals After the Eclipse (MinutesOfHorror channel) I totally feel that the true motivations behind CERN and similar facilities around the world are nefarious. They're not even trying to be secretive about it at CERN. https://youtu.be/XribhE6OgXE?si=nGRhegnVqOC4-G6x Jim

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

I would say I'm in decent shape. Especially compared to back when I was a training junkie. I still have a 6-pack, but it's hidden under a little bit of flab, even though I'm approaching my ideal weight again. I look pretty good in a shirt, though... 😄 One of my former training partners was about 5'...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

Fast knockouts I REALLY like the third one. The spear elbow to the face/head. The spear elbow is devastating in-close, whether to the body or to the head, and is something that is practical for actual self-defense (with lots of practice and training, of course). https://youtube.com/shorts/M_gEivVhMI...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

I went to the doctor’s office a couple weeks ago, and fully clothed, my weight is just below 175 lbs. I thought I might be heavier, but that’s great. I’m 5’ 9” barefoot, so I’m probably 5’ 10” in shoes. But I always go by my height BAREFOOT, because that is one’s honest height. Most guys measure th...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

The first thing he discusses is kinda funny, IMO. Gross, but funny.

The incident he discusses where AI was used to frame the school principal is among the types of stuff that really bothers me:

I am a health nut and self defense junkie. If you cannot defend yourself because you are stiff and overweight you are not serious. You are full of bull! I'm hoping that Ozempic helps me to lose 45 to 50lbs, and together with flexibility exercises and walking I become more nimble. Everyone isn't the...

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?

I know that LC200N is known to hold an edge better than H1/H2 in PE, but I don't know if it holds an edge better in SE. The only thing I would like better (in general) about SE LC200N compared to SE H1/H2 is its ability to be FFG'd.
