   I never could really commit to AA, the organization, but... I met some great people there. I ended up in AA, thinking my life was over, but when I heard what other people had been through (awful awful things), I was very humbled. The people

   I have experienced the same thing, but it was primarily because the dosage was too high. I have taken Adderall for years, being initially prescribed 5mg and now, 5+ years later, taking 15-20mg per day. I take "drug vacations" (no

   I think it is the EDC Executive with orange cerakote. The programmability of the thing is awesome. There is a locator beacon function that I would have loved to have on my lost Fenix P2D Q5. Honestly though, if you just want a good flashlig

    I was once a flashlight nerd. My (American-made except for LED) HDS with it's high-CRI Cree LED is my best flashlight ($200). Not as bright as a non-high-CRI LED, but in the forest the better color rendering gives me better depth perce

    I am severely lacking in performance analysis skills. Does anyone else spend hours tweaking builds/configs only to then just assume you have made an improvement without confirming it? I wish I had learned of Knuth's "prematur

    How revolutionary is this? Will it replace all preceeding hash algos or does it have a narrow usefulness?

    I choose BSD (as a router/firewall) because pf is more intuitive than iptables and tc. Go check out some manpages for tc and it's extended functionalities... awful documentation. I still use Linux as my desktop OS though.
