Re: Has Anyone Else Moved to Windows 10 on a PC yet?

I upgraded from 7 and I like it so far. My dad has an 8.1 computer and it constantly crashes, the apps don't work, and things open and close on their own. I think he will enjoy the upgrade more than I will. I just like getting every other windows OS. I might be an early adopter in this case.

Re: Anyone Live in Houston?

The weather will be very different from CO. Winters are really mild. There are a lot of really good restaurants and lots of traffic. What would you like to know? The weather is going to be quite a drastic change! My question was more along the lines of how humidity will affect knives and firearms. ...

Anyone Live in Houston?

I'll be moving to Houston next week, and I'm wondering if there is anything you guys want me to know.

I'm already hearing about humidity. It will be quite the difference from Colorado living!

Emp Effects Question

Having just read a book on a fictional EMP attack, I started thinking about how that might affect me. Specifically, I was wondering what an EMP would do to the high powered LED flashlights that are so popular. Streamlight, Surefire, Fenix; all of these designs have a tiny electronic chip in them to ...

Why do they refuse to make a 9mm single stack? It's what everybody wants!

I haven't purchased a knife in almost a year. I think I realized that at 64 knives, I can only really carry one at a time, so I quit buying them. Now I've been updating the clothes, after another realization that I really need bigger clothing. So it's been like "going back to school" cloth...

I've got mine rotating through a star wars theme, outdoors, and a few high end cars. I'm not really sure what a Spyder back drop would be. A knife in profile perhaps?

Just saw it. Besides the obvious political leanings and assertions of the director Paul Greengrass, I really enjoyed it. A lot of action, and it appeared to be fairly accurate as far as the military action went.

Personally, I never liked the LAWKS/AUTOLAWKS feature. I like closing my knife with one hand, and I could never quite master it with the M16 series. Plus, why would I buy a knife for ~50 bucks with AUS 4, when i can pay ~60 for a knife with VG-10? And G-10 instead of Zytel with holes in it? I like t...

My company policy manual states I'm not allowed to carry a weapon at work. So I just carry a Manix 2 most of the time. Lately it's been a serrated Native. I have been issued a disposable safety cutter, and that's the blade I use 99% of the time. The real knife only comes out when absolutely necessary.

I constantly return to the BG-42 Military. And my FFG Delica gets the duty when i need a smaller knife, which goes to show that even though I hate the color, it's design is strong enough that I can ignore the color.

When I saw him this morning and he said he lost his ride, I guess I should have queried more as to what he meant!
