https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_E._Fairbairn I've always wanted a Fairbairn-Sykes knife. They have problems, but it's an iconic blade.

Cell phones would be the biggest that comes to mind for the average person. 2000 was recent enough that most of the cool stuff we have was iterative from 2k stuff, so not a real surprise. Having powerful general purpose computers that can fit in your pocket is a big deal. There's a lot of...

Don't get too excited stig. He's just riffing off a meme format that's been going around lately.

I'm not sure being carried off in falcon talons qualifies as "getting away". It did get to go for an un self powered flight :^D

Home invasion gone wrong... Pigeons are so damned stupid...

Yea, she's cute :^)

That was pretty cool. 1920s done 70s style :^D

Everest really annoys me. It's basically tourist bullshit at this point. Cables have been set. Sherpa carry your shit, including your sorry ass if you fail, and Everest looks like a landfill with all the crap people leave behind. The only real requirement average fitness and mobility. Want to...

At least it's raining to help keep the wheels cool. I bet they'd be glowing if it were a dry day.
