    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    That last holster that I posted is currently on its way to an actor friend in Puyallup, WA, who happens to have a prop 1861 Navy (non-shooting replica of the same gun as mine). So I went ahead and made another holster and will need to make a belt to match it, at some point. This is another...

    Can anyone identify the Eastern European language in that clip?

    Finale of "Stranger Things" didn't disappoint. At least it didn't disappoint me. At least one of my film buff friends was less than charitable about it, for reasons of film buff. It's 2 hours long and be warned that the 'resolution', after the climax, is the last half hour. I think that it's...

    Now that I've finished up with "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" and the animated movie that they did to close out the storyline, I think that I'll watch the shot in Toronto SF series "Defiance." It recently dropped on Prime and I've not been able to rewatch it since the original airing. Should...

    The same case solidified that cops can't stop people, for example, for DWB.

    As far as i know it's still legal for them to stop anyone, as long as it's random, for nothing more than a "document check." There was a Supreme Court case that upheld it in 1990.

    Zoomed from a phone camera and then run through Facebook's ridiculous compression algorithm. Great pics/video can end up looking like garbage just from the latter.

    The Supreme Court allowed it on the basis that, among other things, it is random and therefore "fair." What they did disallow is something that Peel Regional was famous for; literally setting up stops on either side of bars and stopping everyone who left them. A could of Dixie/Steeles area strip...

    NCR findings are insignificant, in overall stats.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Consecutive sentences are a thing, but extremely rare. Given his proclivities I doubt this is his first serious infraction, so he's going to do serious time.

    I will say this: The residents who are laughing and commenting, within a literal stone's throw of a firearms event, are absolute morons. i just measured the distance on Google Maps. It's a whopping 160 feet (80m). I can't make out what he's using and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but if...

    I was rather surprised to see that view is from July of this year.

    Just saw a Global News story on it and a local said that the whole situation should have been de-escalated sooner, before this happened. If the guy with the gun is a SovCit then there was no d-escalating it. Any attempt at enforcement of the bylaws simply results in escalation on the part of...

    That's just it; you haven't read the book. I went into it expecting a serious story that examines Fascism, civic duty, and war, not a virtual comedy that makes fun of all of that. Saw it in a theatre the day after it was released. Oddly, the animated films that were made afterward are actually a...

    I feel the same way about "Total Recall" and the remake. I'm pretty sure that I'd feel the opposite about a remake of "Starship Troopers" if it was more true to the novel. because when I saw the original I really didn't expect, nor want, a parody.

    As an old school roleplayer, I'm really enjoying the adult animated series "The Mighty Nein." Half the fun is trying to place what character classes/archetypes they're trying to portray. some are dead easy, while others have flavouring that doesn't seem to fit what I think they should be.

    If you haven't seen the documentary about Renner's accident and recovery, you should. I think it's still available on Disney+.

    Vehicle owner is responsible. If it's a trucking company then they're on the hook. If you have a dashcam then it should be relatively easy. If contacting the vehicle owner doesn't get a reasonable response or isn't possible, make a police report using the recording. Use the report to make an...
