    My dad got diagnosed with bladder cancer today

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I wonder if we know each other. A childhood friend, who is also 41, was just diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal in February as well. That is nuts. He is also responding incredibly well to chemo. This is in Calgary though, so probably not. 41 seems so damn young for someone to feel literally...

    lol, where is my time machine. This would have been awesome in my 20s, but alas I am an old fart and just hang out with my kids all the time now.

    I randomly walked into a pawn shop that was beside a store my wife went into that I didn't want to go to. Low and behold I saw this gem of a guitar. Limited to 300 worldwide, it is a 20th anniversary reissue of Paul Gilberts signature guitar. This was made in 2009. It is pretty grimy and needs...

    I feel that way as well, but I am in oil and gas, and lots of projects are coming up that use unwanted natural gas to power generators that run bitcoin miners. This is a thing in a lot of spots in USA. They need the gas brought to spec for the generator.

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Guys, lets get this back on track! This is supposed to be about Aliens from a different planet, not political boundary crossers. Anyone excited to see the Disclosure movie? I found out it was a Spielberg movie about aliens, and have avoided all trailers and talk of it. That is all I needed to...

    What musical instruments do you play?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Technically I've been "playing guitar" for about 30 years, but realistically there was only a good 8ish in there in total where I actually played. I've gotten back into it a couple years ago, and started an unhealthy collection of beautiful used guitars.

    As great as that is, it makes me sad that the story wasn't "person found bag with $4,000 in it. Opened purse to check ID and returned bag to owner!" I'll always remember when I was getting gas, and I found a purse on top of the pump. I checked the ID, drove 60 minutes out of my way to return...

    Anyone here going to get the new GoPro Mission 1 camera? I started recording some mountain bike video last year with my old GoPro 10. They are super fun. My kids love them, its like a roller coaster. I am disappointed with the low light capabilities on the 10 though, and the Mission 1 is...

    I hung a 125lb heavy bag in my basement, and build a custom stand for it made out of 1" galvanized pipe. I wanted a stand I could walk around. Everything pre-built is essentially just for punching. This thing is awesome, and it cost me less than half of something from a fitness store. When I...

    I am torn on this. Does anything related to Musk have an absolutely insane P/E ratio? Absolutely, But on the other hand, is there anyone else realistically doing anything even close to what he is? We have Apple on one hand. They make massive massive amounts of money. But they essentially make...

    That is funny you say that. I do a ton of mountain biking, and never learned how to wheelie on a bike. So I am learning now. I am not good at it, and it is incredibly difficult, and landing rough hurts my spine. But I am gonna get it! I see people manual up to logs and stuff and then hop over...

    It matters because eventually things that you take for granted now will be against the law. Oh, your username is perchboy, which is clearly not your real name, and your home address and personal information are not available to MJ to hand over when asked? Well that is not allowed, the gestapo...

    Be like a duck being splashed with water. Let it roll off and keep going. Visualize a duck in your head. I am the duck. Be one with the duck. Seriously though, I do this. I tell my kids to be like a duck when they get upset, I tell my wife to be like a duck when things are bugging her. Bad...

    "Air duct cleaners" call my work cellphone nearly daily, and they all have Indian accents. I tell them to remove my number and stop calling, the calls keep coming! They are all from different legit looking numbers, so I always need to grab them in case they are related to what I need to talk...

    @AceVentures I had to look it up. This is Canadian pricing from my local computer store where I get 90% of my purchases from. This is insane. I priced some stuff out a few months ago, and the prices were so crazy I could not believe what I was seeing was real. For anyone building a new PC...
