In before the other snobs...

Ooh! I noticed!

Yeah I totally thought cuben as well soon as the picture came up...but my understanding of cuben is that it is NOT in fact what sails are made of...or it would be called "sail cloth" or "spinnaker."

I am trying to decide in my head whether or not this entire vein of thought by Shino is just a joke/troll or not....

Outstanding. I award you a Life to go with two internets you have already won.

Also, man hands.

That's a mute argument. It just doesn't get you anywhere. There is no doubt in my mind that there is something in your life (and everyone's) that you buy at a higher price based on some measure of form over function. Whether its an appliance, a TV, a car, jeans, jewelry, something...

On another note, if you've recently lost a knife at the airport, it could be at my house. I have a hook up. I've got no less than say 60 knives and multi-tools that have been taken off multi(ple) tools as they go through the line because they forgot to check it. I especially like the ones engraved with names and…

+10 points for racism.

I have all mine managed in a manner that can be passed on. Being in the military, I actually make sure my wife has them on a regular basis rather than waiting until just in case.

In the Infantry we put cat eyes on our patrol caps. They aren't glow sticks though. Just luminescent tape that we sew on in little on inch strips so the guy behind you can follow through the darkness. They are on our helmets as well. Some units cut diamonds or other shapes per their SOP. A previous unit of mine did…

Totally had this one! Man, childhood was sweet.

Agreed. If the speaker himself was not first "intelligent" then you can't blame the robot. Ebonics is not a language.

Nice call. Now I do want one.

Hell no you shouldn't know how its done. You might argue that you ought to be accorded the right of having a warrant served by a judge before it is done specifically to you, but no, you don't have any right or reason to know "how" its done.

We obviously went to college at the exact same time. Such good stuff.

I understand the hyperbolic comedic intent there, but actually it doesn't look like it would even be much use in the kitchen. The blade looks like it is a bit concave. Slicing or hacking downward at anything on a flat service looks like you'd fail to ever completely separate the two pieces of any given foodstuff.…

A lot of the RDT&E money isn't even a "this or that" type issue. At least not what I am pointing out. Yes, people did it because they could make a buck, but when it comes to small Soldier comfort or personalization type items like nicer boots, better pouches, chest rigs, even some technology driven pieces, much of it…

You clowns are totally underestimating the legit amount of newsworthiness this article does in fact have. Yes, of course things get better in a decade. However, this article is totally accurate in putting forth the argument that the post 9/11 wars have accelerated and radically altered our (my) fighting load in a way…

Yeah, that's a pretty big reach to say we didn't compromise our "morals" in WWII. We definitely carpet bombed entire German cities. We laid waste to Berlin. We did things that we would never consider doing now. When it comes right down to it, I would agree we have matured in our conduct of war by learning to use smart…
