Just having listened to the start, and admittedly being waaaaay late to the topic, I do still want to say, in my personal opinion in perfectly fine for you guys to complain about the troubles you have on this podcast. This podcast is for the people who genuinely care, no?

2020-12-03 19:53:19 +0000 UTCI've had one of those weird email exchanges in the past. I bought an M27 Lebel from someone off gunboards, and when it arrived I had 7.5 French go and no-go gauges to verify it was a 7.5x54, and not one of the experimental x57 guns. I ran the bolt home on the first one, went to unchamber it, and nothing came out. This was when I realized the gun was straight up missing it's extractor, so of course I hit up the seller and asked him what was up? He plainly stated that if I'd return it, I'd have to pay shipping. Offered no explanation as to why the extractor was missing despite being asked several times and being provided a picture as proof, it seemed like he was avoiding the question. Anyway, I send it back and a week later he informs me that he received the rifle and that the extractor was present. I reminded him that he has a picture that I took of it clearly not being present, and got no response.

2020-11-24 10:19:42 +0000 UTCYou guys are not the first Channel to be screwed by YouTube and will not be the last. Its awful what they do to content creators, ESPECIALLY small channels and the gun channels. Now to be a small gun channel... lord help you. However, I have the feeling that word is finally starting to get out about this channel and growth should be expected soon as long as we all keep commenting and liking the videos!

2020-11-18 14:46:57 +0000 UTCRegarding th YouTube algorithm, I gather that the most support you can give a creator is to subscribe, like every video they do, comment on every video at least once and if possible set your YouTube pretences to notify you of Bre videos when they come out. That seems to be what makes the most profitable YouTube channels.

PeterJim Mc
2020-11-18 14:39:45 +0000 UTCNot to be a jerk but here in Canada we do nothing but paper ballots and we get them counted pretty fast. Of course we make sure we have a lot of polling places and a lot of polling staff available to count the ballots, but I feel like old technology isn’t the problem in the US so much as the fact that each state makes its own voting rules and systems or whatever. Plus our federal elections in Canada are overseen by a non-partisan independent agency that has the same rules for the whole country. Plus our voter roles are linked with our income tax and other info (voluntarily) so if you want to make sure you’re registered to vote in the correct area or whatever just tick the box on your tax return that asks if your demographics can be shared with Elections Canada for that purpose. Voila, you’re on the voters list for your town/neighbourhood/whatever.

2020-11-18 14:38:37 +0000 UTCThat one is RoboTech. Battletech is what the MechWarrior PC games are based on. But both used the same mech designs since both had the license from the original Japanese show which lead to 30 years of lawsuits between the two companies

2020-11-18 14:30:36 +0000 UTCI super enjoyed Othais going Uber Otaku on 80s toys and trap throwers and such. You two are quite entertaining audio in your own right, including any digressions which, by the way, you don’t have to apologize for. (As a Canadian though I respect the unnecessary apology as a cultural icon). Regarding Othais’ point about the golden age of toys I would agree. The 80s had most of the cool toy technology but it predated several things that were bad for the toy industry imho: 1. Choking hazard rules.: Awesome toys have little parts that will kill your per or toddler. Can’t say I blame folks for discontinuing production of such things but definitely those rules make for less cool toys. 2. Integrated electronics.: Whilr I love computers and such, something like a GI Joe (my faves) or transformer or whatever had to be fun without any tie-ins to video games or other electronics. A lot of newer “toys” integrate with an app or online game and they often become nothing more than a paperweight with a microchip inside. So yeah, golden age because of combination of advanced plastics manufacturing combined with a “not yet” electronics integration capability.

2020-11-17 02:41:47 +0000 UTCMan, the part about some people's brains short-circuiting when you put them in front of e-mail (or any typed electronic communications, really) is so true.

Andrey Gardner
2020-11-10 11:03:47 +0000 UTCRight then. Remind me how I got on C&A's discord. I guess the plug patch is literally a plug? Beyond that we can wait on wether Othais gets a surrogate or not.

Chris Stochaj
2020-11-10 03:32:46 +0000 UTCI was thinking something along the lines of a gsm gateway, or a DIY version there off. For example use Discord to connenct between the US an UK, then call out on the UK phone and plug patch the audio though.
Andrey Gardner
2020-11-09 23:40:10 +0000 UTCI should have written that I can call anyone in the UK on my tariff. I don't have US free roaming, and I don't understand VOIP to POTS, even after looking it up!. I am willing to give up time, and some resources to help, but without help for me it would have to be on a very simple level without it probably getting too messy.
Bradwan

Minion
2020-11-09 12:00:57 +0000 UTCDo you have free roaming in the USA so we can set Othais up with a UK sim, or do we need a free VOIP to POTS gateway for dealing with the e-challenged?
Andrey Gardner
2020-11-09 00:01:59 +0000 UTCI suspect it will add complexity, but as a UK citizen I can call any individual for free with my contract, and I can do the internet. I would be happy to call folk in my country who can't cope with e-mail, but beyond simple questions I can't do much for you.
Bradwan
2020-11-08 20:36:38 +0000 UTCThe problem with people like this Alex Jones is they pay attention to what is going on and then, in the case of the 2020 just rehash exactly what is being said. With mail in ballots being used in excess, there would be no way for any state to count them. So "predictions" like that are not mystical, just factual. Even looking at non-covid elections, they have all grown passed the 'election night' just because you have to tabulate some 130million+ votes. With the archaic vote system we have, its not that difficult to see it will take a couple of days. So charlatans like him get a bit of notority to push some agenda but saying a couple of truths, to hook someone then find a way to get paid. Its like phone in psychics, or furtune tellers, pr anyone who speaks with the dead, now in podcast form.

Possible to put in early sight unseen order for new shirts, help the debt issue, prevent patreons from missing out on 1/4 order?

2020-11-07 00:48:32 +0000 UTCGreat podcast to listen to while I work on my bike. Fun fact, you can in fact saw through brake cables with a file (left my cable cutters at home) And re politics, if you wanna argue gun control with me I'm happy to do so, but all I want to add is that if people want to get thrown for a political loop, look up the socialist rifle association. Fun folk
