did a track day with a buddy a couple months back.. lots of fun. i'm on the left.

looking forward to moving to minneapolis and starting college at UMN. i graduated high school with a 300 out of 390 rank 5 years ago so shit's pretty huge for me. nice to see a lot of hard work pay off. i've also lived in the same city my entire life so the move will hopefully be refreshing.

adsense is a fucker but that is 100% beyond anyone here's control. so, no tits and shit, that's fine, they're still all over reddit.

it's unfair and inconsiderate to criticize how the place is ran when you yourself are mostly unwilling to do it. there was a whole side forum project when this place shut down after the last time and that idea seemingly was abandoned abruptly as soon as the mod hammer was passed around back here. easier route, absolutely, but it shows the general lack of motivation to do it ourselves. how would switching back to vBulletin or switching to whatever the fuck is better be any different?

i don't know anything about how moderator duties are delegated here, but i think everything over 6-9 months old should be removed. an automated dump of sorts maybe? if you don't want something deleted maybe sticky it or throw it in a subforum.. kind've like melding the "classic" thread with all of the most popular threads. if the mods and people that use this place are adamant about continuing to do just that, i'm sure they will gladly adhere to something of that sort.

it's obvious sheep is burdened by the forum, it's also obvious BG is only left up because it satisfies other people. we should be asking what we as general users can do to make the place more manageable.

people take this shit way too seriously though.. calling it "history," hahahaha so what if a nine hundred eighty five thousand page thread gets deleted? what, did you miss the last page and a half of posts? start over every once in a while. christ sakes guys, if you need the thread so bad just archive a copy.

i don't post much mostly because i don't have much to contribute. still lurk a bit though and i appreciate what you do, sheep.

he kind've touches on it in this interview but more or less skirts around trying to land a way to justify it until he does. for a second you're gonna think he's humbling himself and then he says that shit. 1:03:30 if you're interested.

strange how sad it feels having never met him and only picking up shreds of who he was through his offerings to this forum. seemed like a stand up and likable guy. he was on top of the hiking boot game, that's for sure. not to sound out of place but i can't help but think maybe he would've reached out to the community here if we weren't such trolls. condolences to his friends, girlfriend, and family. gone too soon.

used to have a bunch of knives but i think most of them are at my parent's. all of them are just pocket blades though. i don't carry them daily, i just like obscure knives..

top is a columbia river knife and tool fulcrum. it's kind've ugly but it opens awesomely, idk just google it. unlike any knife i've seen. i carry this 4 days a week at work.

bottom is a kershaw chive that went through the snowblower this winter. kinda sucks. picture is with the blade flipped out [it's missing]. the clip is bent to shit as well too. didn't want to replace it with another for whatever reason so i went with the fulcrum. i like knives.

saw this on reddit today, kinda surprising it was on the 2nd page of r/all.

anyway..
