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

OK, in simplest terms my instructors got banned for posting gunsmithing videos. This was either intentional or totally arbitrary. Either way it happened, and I'm sure anyone here can infer what they will from that. Or you can assume I'm making it up, which is up to each person's discretion of cours...

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

And that doesn't mean my instructors didn't get banned. Watching tanks blow stuff up doesn't teach people how to maintain the tools that we use for defence. Being able to do your own work on firearms to keep them in working order does. They don't care if you are watching useless content. All kinds ...

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

My gunsmithing instructors had their content banned from youtube, so stuff like this is nothing new to me. And no it is not because they were promoting violent or stupid behavior, they are some of the best instructors in the world. It is really just a continued effort at an anti-weapon agenda, that...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless

Woke is going to make them broke. Victorinox is caving and will start making their Swiss Army Knives without knife blades. They will still make current models with blades, they say. Here is one of the articles I read on the subject: https://gizmodo.com/swiss-army-knife-victorinox-no-blade-185146194...

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

Well, I've had my posts censored for just being knives on Instagram. I can't say for everyone, but it's happened to me. As to the trash posted on Instagram by the Onlyfans crowd, it's there and it's never censored. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but it's happened to me and several friends. I a...

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

I agree 💯. It's to the degree that you get censored for showing a Swisstool, but the Onlyfans girls posts flow by the thousands. I'm amazed millions haven't left because of the censorship, let alone the fees they're beginning to charge. I have bad news. The death of social media cannot happen soon ...

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?

Personally I believe it is all just a pile of..... Well you know. ;) Every generation believes the next generation is subpar somehow. :eye-roll And those from the newer generations who think they are superior to the older generations. :eye-roll I take people as they are on an individual basis, every...

Not that I expect the milk I can get from Walmart to be very nutritious anyway, but does powdering reduce the nutritional value of the milk in the process?
No, as long as you stick with brand name products you will be fine.

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

Is paper better, or do they usually coat those in plastic anyway? I don't know exactly what they coat paper in to make it able to hold liquid. Plastic coatings on the paper cartons. Seriously though, most of the info about this plastic stuff is on known conspiracy theory and activist websites. So t...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

We were buying our 2% milk in gallon plastic containers but after reading about microplastics looked for a way out. We currently get home delivery of milk in glass bottles from Oberweis Dairy every Wednesday morning at around 4AM. We signed up for the delivery less than 2 months ago as we were tryi...

I mean, A.I. only know what they are programmed to know. Just a thought. IMO, this assumption won't be applicable once Humanity successfully develops a true AI (i.e. once AI achieves general intelligence).
