    New WiFi Router - Giant improvement (eg., range)

    I had similar wifi woes and very recently upgraded to a business class access point. I looked into the Ubiquiti series but ultimately settled on the Xclaim Xi-3. Setup was slightly troublesome, as they rapidly roll out firmware updates that don't play well with the online, strangely...

    Seasoning a NEW rifle barrel

    This seems like the most practical advice given so far. Shoot 1-3 rounds and clean a few times. If you aren't getting any copper fouling (blue residue with a GOOD bore cleaner), you're done. Then, don't clean your gun like it's a religion. Wipe off the powder residue and oil lightly after...

    Is Ebay still a legitimate auction site?

    I am often frustrated by eBay for all of the reasons previously mentioned. I hate the drop shipping business model, and it seems out of place on eBay. As one poster put, "they pass the savings on to you." Sure, that's entirely possible when things go smoothly. But in the OP's case, they...

    Bikers help! Sportser Oil Leak.

    I have an '06, which has a nearly identical oil system. The rubber drain line is a bizarre engineering choice. Mine's never leaked, but I've always wondered why they chose such a strange oil drain/change scheme. My 1972 Honda's dry sump system has a far superior oil tank setup despite its...

    Next Glass App

    Tried it. It has promise. Scanning labels is nifty, but nothing more than a gimmick that becomes irritating to use. If it has such a good database, where are the suggestions? I have to find a beer first, then it will give me odds on my liking it.

    Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

    "Fail" as a noun. And "win" when intended as the opposite of fail. "Self-licking ice cream cone." "Myself" when another first person pronoun is grammatically correct - usually when someone is trying and failing to be somewhat formal. "Could care less." It's "couldn't!" "Cray-cray." "Ain't...

    Ever wish they made good NA beers?

    Since you seem intent on having the last word, and we've already garbaged up the thread with this nonsense, here you go: Called the rest of the posters "light weights" is the sort of pissing match-type comment to which I was referring. Suggesting that you can drink what would be considered an...

    Ever wish they made good NA beers?

    This is exactly the type of comment that is unwelcome. While you may THINK that drinking a 6 pack and climbing into a car is fine, it IS NOT. It doesn't much matter who you are. I'll buy that your perception of drunkenness may require more beer than others in order to feel its effects, but...

    Ever wish they made good NA beers?

    You make a good point - the thread is intentionally placed in a non-technical forum. Here is what I will not abide, and what prompted my comment: pissing contests about holding one's liquor and/or suggesting that ANYONE should drive after consuming large quantities of alcohol. IGAF.

    Ever wish they made good NA beers?

    This thread has taken an awful turn. If you want to discuss the science of blood alcohol content vs the perception of drunkenness in a civil manner (without the "you can't hold your liquor" rhetoric), please start another thread. Do not continue to hijack this thread. BACK ON TOPIC: A 2-3%...

    Wedding Roles (That have fallen out of favor)

    Do I have to move this otherwise humorous thread to the debate forum?!

    Where are all the LADIES at?

    I hear that Yooper dude brews a mean grape jelly wine.

    What do you DIY?

    Everything, more or less, especially mechanical things.

    any 1911 enthusiasts out there?

    I'd like to snag a Rock Island and customize the crap out of it. Perfect price for a project gun.

    any 1911 enthusiasts out there?

    I completely disagree with the sentiment here. While I can't explain your negative 1911 experience, the issues won't be fixed by going to a S&W .40. Both of my .40's are MUCH harder to handle than my Colt 1911 Gov't. Even the all steel Beretta 8040 has a lot more muzzle flip than the 1911...

    I don't watch/follow sports. At all.

    top 10 mixed drinks to try before you die?

    Moscow Mule - made well, with spicy ginger beer, not run-of-the-mill ginger ale.

    Homebrewers: Are you a fan of the band Tenacious D????

    Quoted for posterity. This should be someone's signature.
