For some reason until recently Sweet was completely washed from my memory. No idea why. They had a bunch of hits and "Ballroom Blitz" was a staple.

I don't remember seeing anyone in the video using a proper baldric, which was odd. They tend to keep the weapon at a proper angle and put the weight on the shoulder, rather than the hip, so are more comfortable for walking.

Yeah. Imagine all of those times a character blithely walked into a crowded tavern while wearing a longsword and longbow, with 20 arrows in a quiver.

He just had to Rickroll at the end :ROFLMAO: This is the sort of stuff that I consider when making a character, these days. I lean toward shortswords, scimitars, Wakisashi, and other short blades. Bows are typically short composite, because dungeon crawling with a longbow is unrealistic...

I no longer have a cat, but this is such a habit that I still use them. It will likely come in handy when I can no longer control my own bladder.

I was kind of wondering about that too. Maybe, because the buildings in Hawkins seem to be on the older side, everything was created as it is when Vecna "turned"? I don't remember seeing anything particularly new, apart from the base the military built there.

Client - My laptop doesn't display anything, unless I connect it to an external monitor. (Sends it in for service) Me - Your laptop was dropped. I can see by the bent metal surround and the missing corner of the bottom plate. This won't be warranty. Client - But that happened months ago and...

And always keep the "receipts."

A little extra "Stranger Things" content, while we wait for the next installment.

Was introduced to these guys by the soundtrack from the indie film "Project London", as a backer of the film, and just loved the sound.

Yeah, it pretty much felt like a dumpster fire from jump.

Corporations perfected the "first hit is free" marketing method.

Target fixation is definitely more pronounced on a bike. The trick is head position. The mantra is, "You go where you look." I started out by exaggerating my head position, to force myself to look through the corner, to the exit, and not at the corner.

Target fixation is also a hell of a thing. It took me a while (and treating Keith Code's "A twist of the Wrist" like a combination of Gospel and step-by-step guide) to get over the feeling of going in too fast and grabbing a handful of brakes, which is exactly the wrong response for reasons of...

I think that, for me, it's mostly a matter of not wanting to die. I don't think that I've ever ridden at more than 80% of my ability on the track, simply because my instinct for self preservation is too high. At track days I've followed kids who I could see had zero fear, but also zero skill...

I did actually get to follow a recent Canadian Superbike champion around the track, on my second to last class. From that I learned that i had been turning in literally 2 feet too soon, when going into a particular decreasing radius corner, which screwed up my drive onto the next two corners and...

20+ years around motorcycle racers as a photographer, 8 racing schools, and many track days taught me one thing: I'm not very good. At my first racing school I thought I was going flat out behind the head instructor, who was a retired Canadian pro racer. Not a top guy, but rather an also-ran...

Have a PhD and say that qualifies you in a field that you don't have a degree in? Must be a university professor ;)

Add Tesla to the mix. They lose their crap over that instant torque. I had a BMW motorcycle. Trust me, BMW riders are a much different breed from the car drivers.
