2024.05.22 03:22 Mean-Ad-12 AI design; let's talk about it
As a designer, I see people posting all the time about their fears of AI taking their jobs, and how it already has begun to. However, I think the reality of it is that the clientele that are using AI for their logo and branding, are the same clients that would otherwise be using stock images or a $10 fiverr designer. If you're ditching a designer for a logo made of clip-art clouds generated by AI, well, you probably weren't that serious about design in the first place. Not exactly the path to branding glory.
From what I’ve seen as an agency owner and designer, high-end and high-value jobs are not being replaced, and probably never will be. AI tools offer affordability, but clients with serious budgets, who are building legacy brands, need the touch of a human designer who's able to think outside of the box and make intuitive leaps that AI will never be able to do.
I think this all funnels back to the idea that while AI can churn visuals like no one, it can’t feel and resonate with human emotion. AI doesn’t have those crazy “aha!” moments we all have that lead to truly innovative design. AI, at the end of the day, looks at data amongst other things, while design work relies on emotions, personalities, and feelings.
While me and my team are utilizing AI daily to handle repetitive tasks, and streamline workflows, this is because it allows us to focus on the real important aspects of a brand.
As IBM CEO Ginni Rometty said - AI is all about optimization and efficiency.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on AI, and its impact on the design space.

2024.05.22 00:14 terracottahoney I (32F) ghosted him (37m) after 1 year of empty promises I can't help but feel I owe him closure?
We met online with a 1.5 hour commute between us - It was lovebomb at first sight. The first date (june 2023) was magic spending 10 hours at the beach in the water. I had a feeling after just a week of knowing him... facetimes or texts every 3-5 hours, seeing each other every other weekend. It was lovely to have such an incredible connection with someone so quickly and crave them every moment of everyday. I really felt like this was it with the amount of attention/affection he gave me, we would surf and skate together. he said his dream was always to skate with a girl. he told me how important it was to have the same interests as your partner and we also were both into taking film photos and have really special memories captured.
The distance started to take a toll on us 3 months (September) in. It was our first sort of argument he picked about it being almost noon and we hadn't left the house yet to do what we said we would do I was ready and waiting for him to be done playing guitar. But this was all due to him waking up late per usual and his ADHD is so severe he has no idea how quickly time goes by while He will do 4 things at once and then complain about not enough time in the day.
We ended up breaking up because he kept saying "I don't Know" when I Would ask him what he wants. We both crying I packed all my things and then I said why don't we enjoy the day and do what we said we would do and then I'll go home. We ended up enjoying the afternoon and he cried to me about how he can't lose me and how foolish he was to start an argument.
OK fast forward 2 weeks in September we had plans to go camping for the weekend, I booked a dog sitter. the night he was planning to come over he cancels on because there is a rat in his house (he has 3 roommates and the kitchen and pans and cabinets were never cleaned). so I end up taking my oldest dog on the camping trip and leaving the younger one with the sitters. this was my first sign from the universe that things happen for a reason... keep reading.
Then in end of October. My old boy is sick I drive to Mexico for vet care and he offered to come with me both times and then said he had too much work. Mind you, he wakes up at 9am, clocks in from his bed, does his morning routine and doesn't start to work until 11am usually. He will go run errands in the middle of the work day, play guitar and complains about not being a good worker. He even told me a friend called him out for it because he had mentioned it to them a year prior. So he had been knowingly a poor worker for more than the time I have known him. I brushed it off since my dog was #1. 2 weeks later I take the second trip to Mexico which also happened to be the day after I had been put under for a broken finger from a surf accident. he did not come for my surgery to support me and i expressed concern on lifting my 80 lb dog with my finger freshly put back together with a metal plate. yeah he couldn't come he has work. I spend 8 hours in mexico going to 5 hospitals for my sick dog to find answers. while he ended up going to the skatepark after work. I went to stay at his house that night which was nice he setup a bed for me to lay next to my dog on the floor.
the next morning was Friday. I said ok I have to put my baby down this weekend he is so sick. he said ok I am coming over right after work to be with you. that evening he calls me. his friends brother is in town and he is going to go surfing in the morning (saturday) with them and come over right after. I said ok whatever. I was screaming inside.
he comes its fine. sunday I put my dog down. I have the vet come, before hand I had frequencies playing for my baby on spotify and he has the audacity to change it to youtube video to show my cousin a skate clip. I called him out and he dismissed me.
a week after my dog is put down we have another (many not even mentioned because its painful) butting heads episode of him telling me knitting is not faster than crocheting and he has the experience since he was around it when his friends crocheted so i should listen to him. mind you I have been crocheting for 10 years i have never knitted so i mentioned i was going to start knitting and he told me how much slower it is and i just genuinely don't know so i said oh I didn't know and I don't know what to expect and because I didn't say I believe you it was this terrible icky feeling in my gut I didn't even wanna talk to him anymore. I was telling him how excited I Was about something and he would always shoot me down. so I called him later that evening after work to discuss it and of course he is driving to the skatepark and he says he needs to go skate and feels bad energy after me calling him to talk about the knitting crocheting mishap and he goes "your life has been so depressing lately" and I was just so taken back by that and hurt I don't even remember what my response was but I should have hungup and never talked to him again. I don't remember what happened but I let it go.
then a couple weeks later (November) its 2 weeks from Thanksgiving, he says his roommate is making a fried turkey and invites me i am so excited because I am 2,000 miles from my family so I begin to prepare what meals I want to make. a week before Thanksgiving he facetimes me and says he has exciting news that hes going to mexico for thanksgiving to surf with his friends. I was so sad, I asked him why he would make plans in place of what we planned and he just said it was a special opportunity and so I felt i had no choice and didn't fight it. i realize at this point of typing all of this I enabled alot of this behavior.
that evening I sent a video message to him about how hurt I was and how inconsiderate he is of my feelings and the fact that I am his girlfriend and his friends and what he wants to do comes before me always. the next morning he apologizes via text and then is quite throughout the day which is very odd because he texts every 3 hours pretty much. I ask how his day is going and he says it started off shitty because of the message he received from me that morning, it wasn't the "best way to start the day". so again I am dismissed for sharing my feelings. and I let it go again.
Thanksgiving comes and I take my other dog camping to the spot I took my recently passed dog. Fast forward December he was visting at my house and I have been working on training my younger dog he has leash reactivity. I say "here" and treat dog when we pass other dogs so he associates quiet still behavior with a reward in this moment. Ok so then he suggests I teach dog a different word that would associate a dog is coming and that my dog needs to behave............ I said that is exactly why I say "here". He continues and starts to raise his voice, "you aren't listening to me, teach him a different word like leave it" and I said ok but he still isn't good with "here" so why would i give him another word to learn? it turned into an explosive fight. we broke up the next night and he is bawling his eyes out and so am I. a week goes by we get back together because I can't help but think he has potential to be this amazing partner he talks about all these things he wants out of someone and I check every box but he just would pick this random little arguments and then be so indecisive of what he wants to break up or not.
I told him how I wanted to do yoga teacher training he says "theres already a lot of yoga teachers". I told him I was going to costa rica with my girlfriend for a surf trip and he says "why would you go with her and not me? how long have you known her? your level of surfing isn't even at the par to go to costa rica" but he had already gone on 2 surf trips with friends. he would dismiss me time and time again. he would criticize everything I do. even telling him something I saw happen he would qualify everything I said and question what I saw was true.
His birthday comes in January and prior to this I told him how excited I am and important it is to spend brithdays together and shower each other. I make him a cake the night before and set up my dog for daycare. I drive to work keep his cake in the fridge and then after pick up dog from daycare and drive 2 hours to see him and celebrate. He then tells me he booked a trip to skate in Spain with his friends over my birthday. I was so heartbroken I wanted to throw up I asked him if he takes me seriously and he said yes of course and we both cry I am so furious I should have left but I didn't. I then tell him how disgusting his house and its been 8 months and hes never bought me flowers. the next day he brings flowers to the coffee shop I went to work at. I went back to his house after and broke up with him yet again. I burned a picture of him he gave me. I really tried to move on. he hurt me so much and would dismiss me all the time.
I don't know why but we got back together again. he started watching dharma talks I would send him (mindfulness talks, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Ram Dass kind of stuff) because he knew how selfish and self centered he was and he admited it every time we broke up but made no effort and this last break up he really did seem to make an effort.
we didn't see each other for 40 days and he came over in April for a weekend we went to the art museaum he was in the middle of a story and we were getting kicked out I asked him if he can take my picture quick and he flips, "I can never finish a story it takes forever all the time" he takes my picture and then I stop being silent. I tell him you are the storyteller all the time I never tell you stories because its always about your stories I remind him I haven't been to an art museum in ages and i want a photo in that moment and your story already happened so why cant it wait a moment??? he then woke up a little and saw my perspective. and then the next day we went to surf, the surfboards are in the car we go thrifting and he says oh we can't be in there for even 30 minutes someone will steal the boards he had all this concern on the surfboards and I was like why did we come here then...? lets just leave but no we go inside and of course 15 min in he says ok! 15 more min! and then later that night I said why did you make such a big fuss and then you don't even live the truth you say? he says yeah I wanted to come apologize to you but I didn't and I am like are you kidding?! come on please I need you to take accountability for your actions this is part of being an adult!! and then he admits to being a "whiny baby" and I was like yes you are a huge baby and youre a grown ass man! anyways it was a very nice talk while I was actually able to talk and he was listening very well.
Ten days ago was my birthday, I went camping with my dog. He told me he would facetime me on my birthday he only sent a text in the morning from spain mentioning "I wish I could be with you" whatever crock of s*/t. he never called me. I saw his friends posting on IG though so I know they had Wi-Fi. I sent a picture of my camp and said "we made it, thanks for calling like you said you would :(" that was my last text to him.
the next morning he gave every excuse, "sooooo sorry I didn't get to facetime you" we were so busy blah blah blah. its like if you wanted to make the effort you would? sends another text asking how camp was and what are we doing that day and then another one 8 hours later apologizing saying how truly bad he feels and hopes I am willing to speak with him but could understand how I wouldnt want to and says he blew it.
I never responded. He never even tried to call me to apologize just 4 total texts. I blocked him from seeing my IG stories. I am so heartbroken that I spend a year thinking I was with this wonderful person who wants the same things as me to learn that all he wants is to skate and surf and not do any hard work or put any effort into life he has not made any growth the entire almost year I have known him.
I have made so many advancements in my own life. I sold my motorcycle, rented out my garage, laid brick in my yard by myself never offered to help, I starting selling all of my vintage at pop ups I did 3 and he never came to any. I broke my finger and put my dog of 11 years down. I have a really wonderful job and I also stick to my word and do what I Tell people I am going to do.
I can't help but be missing him. Wanting to work it out. I act impulsively quite often but I know in my gut this man would not stand up for me if times got tough like he hasnt this whole year. can people really change? do I owe closure to him?

2024.05.21 18:57 Practical_Act_6488 [Partially Lost] English "Zica and the Chameleons" dub
Hi, I’m looking for the English dub for the brazillian cartoon “Zica e os Camaleões” (Zica and the Chameleons). It was aired and licensed by Nickelodeon Brazil in 2014, and TV Brasil from 2014 to 2017.
"Zica is a 14-year-old teenager who feels black and white in a colorful world. Zica seeks to assimilate the transition period she is experiencing through her art: she draws, writes and composes songs with her band formed with her best friend Gui and drummer Batata. When she is alone in her room, she usually talks and reflects with her three pet Chameleons. The episodes are divided between the "real world" in which she lives, the "creative world" that takes place in her room, and a video clip at the end of every episode." (Translated from the portuguese Wikipedia article about the show).
A fully dubbed episode 7 along with an english promo for the show was posted on the official Vimeo account for Cinema Animadores, the production company for the show. You can find those here and here. I couldn’t find any info about the voice actors or the company.
More info: The show was created after a short pilot aired on Anima TV 2010, a brazillian project organized by the government focused on highlighting and producing brazillian animations. There’s a brazillian article that mentions that the show was featured in an online version of a "Variety" magazine. Its official international release was done after MIPCOM in 2015, a french event to buy and sell new television shows for international distribution. (all info taken from the portuguese Wikipedia page)
It didn’t have a huge reception in Brazil as far as I’m aware (most people say it got cut short because of that), so it’s probably lost to time. I’ve tried e-mailing the production company for the show about it, still waiting for a response.
Sorry if some information is vague or worded weirdly, English isn’t my first language and it’s hard for me to understand some of this. And sorry if this is formatted incorrectly or doesn’t belong here, I’ll edit or take it down if needed! Thank you!

2024.05.21 16:57 Shagrrotten The Greatest Car Chases in Movie History, Ranked
Taken from: https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/5/21/24161120/greatest-movie-car-chase-scenes-ranked-furiosa-mad-max-saga
In honor of the imminent ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ we’re shifting into high gear to determine the best chase scene in cinema history
By Miles Surrey May 21, 2024, 6:30am EDTGetty Images/Ringer illustration
After wowing audiences with Mad Max: Fury Road, director George Miller returns to the franchise’s post-apocalyptic wastelands for Furiosa, the epic origin story of the eponymous heroine (now played by Anya Taylor-Joy), premiering on Friday. As the follow-up to one of the greatest action films ever made, it’s hard to overstate the hype for Furiosa, and that was before word got out about a showstopping 15-minute sequence that required nearly 200 stuntpeople and took 78 days to shoot. While Furiosa will have its own distinct flavor, as is true of every Mad Max movie, there’s one thing that unites these projects: intense, jaw-dropping scenes of vehicular mayhem. And what better way to honor the franchise than by celebrating what it does best?
Ahead of Furiosa’s release, we’ve put together our definitive ranking of the best car chases in cinema. There weren’t any strict rules in place, other than capping the list at 20—mostly for my own sanity—and limiting every franchise to one entry. (Apologies to Fury Road’s kickass predecessor The Road Warrior.) We also won’t discriminate against scenes that feature motorbikes, so long as cars (and/or trucks) remain part of the equation. As for what, exactly, constitutes a good car chase? Like list making, it’s bound to be subjective, but I tend to gravitate toward two key elements: the skill of the stuntwork on display and the ways in which a filmmaker conveys the action in relation to the story. (Also, the less CGI, the better.) Buckle up, ’cause we’re not wasting any time shifting into high gear.
If we’re being honest, though, it feels like James Bond has yet to create a franchise-defining car chase. Perhaps that’s a mission the newest 007, whoever it ends up being, can undertake.
We’ll be sure to update this ranking if and when Cruise does something even more dangerous down the road, pun unintended.
Vanishing Point might not boast the impressive production values of other movies on this list, but considering Tarantino would go on to feature a white Challenger in Death Proof, its influence in the car cinema canon is undeniable.
If the Fast franchise is going to break out of its recent slump, it would do well to remember that there’s nothing better than letting its heroes live their lives a quarter mile at a time—no detours to outer space required.
The sheer scale of The Blues Brothers’ final set piece is commendable in and of itself—as is the movie’s commitment to treating real-life cars like a bunch of Hot Wheels.
Baby Driver’s gimmick stretches a little thin by the end, but it’s hard to deny the crowd-pleasing power of Wright’s film when it’s firing on all cylinders.
This belongs in an entirely new category of combat: car fights. There are so many action scenes in The Raid 2 worth writing home about—the kitchen showdown is an all-timer—but the fact that Evans casually tossed in an unforgettable car chase shows why he’s one of one.
If the general vibes of The Driver seem familiar, that’s because it was a major inspiration for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, which just so happened to feature an unnamed protagonist (Ryan Gosling) evading police through the streets of Los Angeles.
If I’m being honest, I’m usually one of those people who doesn’t like the Bourne movies’ shaky-cam style, but when it’s executed with such craftsmanship, you can’t help but get caught up in its adrenaline-pumping power.
The sequence isn’t quite at the level of Bullitt or The French Connection—very few are—but D’Antoni still manages to leave an unmistakable imprint on the car chase canon.
If the Academy handed out Oscars to stunt performers—and let’s hope it does happen one day—Bell would’ve won in a landslide.
The fact that Friedkin shot the chase at the end of filming—in case anything disastrous happened to the actors—underscores just how risky the endeavor was. The pulse-pounding results speak for themselves.
The Matrix remains the Wachowskis’ masterpiece, but don’t get it twisted: The filmmakers were still cooking with gas in the sequel.
While Halicki wound up making a few more indies after Gone in 60 Seconds, he died in an accident on the set of its sequel. His legacy as a do-it-all daredevil, however, lives on.
Big Jim is still revolutionizing what can be achieved with visual effects in the Avatar franchise, and while I cherish those movies, nothing beats his old-school showmanship.
Spielberg would move on to bigger and better things after Duel, but considering how much the director accomplished with so little, you can’t help but wonder what else he could conjure up with limited resources.
To quote Steven Soderbergh’s thoughts on Fury Road: “I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.” Whether or not Miller manages to one-up the action in Furiosa, the director is already in the pantheon.
My Ringer colleague Justin Sayles believes The French Connection’s chase should’ve landed at no. 1, and I’m sure many folks will agree with him. Being the only film on this list to win Best Picture, however, is a solid consolation prize.
That the car driven by McQueen was recently sold at auction for $3.74 million, a then-record price for a Mustang, underlines Bullitt’s enduring legacy.
There are many worthy car chases in this ranking, but in my view, Ronin takes pole position. And while I can’t imagine a movie ever topping what Frankenheimer achieved, I’d love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

20. Quantum of Solace (2008)
There have been some memorable car chases in the James Bond franchise: the first sequence featuring the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger, the corkscrew jump in The Man With the Golden Gun, the Lotus Esprit submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me. But I’m going with a somewhat controversial pick here: Quantum of Solace. There are many issues with Quantum of Solace—namely, it was one of the most high-profile blockbusters affected by the 2007-08 writers strike—but its opening scene isn’t one of them. Picking up right where Casino Royale left off, we find Bond (Daniel Craig) evading henchmen through the narrow roads around Italy’s Lake Garda. The frenetic, furious chase mirrors Bond’s sense of anguish after losing Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), the woman he opened his heart to, and his relentless quest for answers. It’s a thrilling tone-setter for Quantum of Solace and one that doesn’t overstay its welcome, capped off by Bond sending his final pursuers flying off a cliff:If we’re being honest, though, it feels like James Bond has yet to create a franchise-defining car chase. Perhaps that’s a mission the newest 007, whoever it ends up being, can undertake.
19. Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation (2015)
The Mission: Impossible franchise is no stranger to electrifying chase scenes, the best of which find Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt working up his heart rate. When it comes to action behind the wheel, though, Fallout tends to dominate the discussion—even on this very website. But I think the vehicular chase in Rogue Nation is being slept on. What we have is effectively two sequences for the price of one: The first finds Hunt pursuing Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) by car through the narrow streets of Casablanca alongside some nefarious henchmen; the second sees him continue the chase outside the city on motorbike. (Adding to the chaos: Hunt had only just been resuscitated, and he’s clearly not all there.) In terms of death-defying stunts for the audience’s entertainment, a helmetless Cruise taking corners like a MotoGP racer is child’s play compared to his other exploits, but the actor’s authentic reaction to scraping his knee on the road underlines that there’s no one else in Hollywood doing it like him:We’ll be sure to update this ranking if and when Cruise does something even more dangerous down the road, pun unintended.
18. Vanishing Point (1971)
A movie that counts the likes of Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino among its biggest fans, Vanishing Point is the first of a few entries on this ranking that’s essentially one extended car chase. The film stars Barry Newman as Kowalski, a man tasked with delivering a Dodge Challenger T 440 Magnum from Colorado to California while eluding police across four states. One of Kowalski’s most memorable run-ins comes when a guy driving a Jaguar E-Type convertible challenges him to an impromptu race. Incredibly, we’re expected to believe the man in the Jag comes out of this crash in one piece:Vanishing Point might not boast the impressive production values of other movies on this list, but considering Tarantino would go on to feature a white Challenger in Death Proof, its influence in the car cinema canon is undeniable.
17. Fast Five (2011)
Let’s face it, Fast & Furious has seen better days. Some believe the franchise’s dip in quality coincided with the death of Paul Walker; others are dismayed by the pivot from street racing to absurd feats of superherodom—emphasis on the Dom. Perhaps it’s a bit of both, but the very best movie in the series, Fast Five, manages to strike the perfect balance: It’s a relatively grounded heist thriller that nevertheless takes the franchise to ridiculous new heights. After Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew steal $100 million from a Brazilian kingpin, they drag the entire bank vault holding the money through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, all while being pursued by authorities. It’s a delightfully destructive sequence that does untold damage to Rio’s infrastructure and features some of the most bone-crunching crashes committed to film:If the Fast franchise is going to break out of its recent slump, it would do well to remember that there’s nothing better than letting its heroes live their lives a quarter mile at a time—no detours to outer space required.
16. The Blues Brothers (1980)
A good car chase isn’t reserved just for action flicks: Comedies can get in on the act, too. In The Blues Brothers, starring the recurring Saturday Night Live characters played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the beloved bandmates must prevent the foreclosure of the orphanage where they were raised by scrounging together $5,000. Naturally, that’s easier said than done: Along the way, the Blues Brothers draw the attention of neo-Nazis, a country-and-western band, and local police. While The Blues Brothers has amusing gags and musical numbers, its chase sequences with the Brothers behind the wheel of a 1974 Dodge Monaco are what really steal the show—and none are better than a climactic pursuit across Chicago. More than 60 old police cars were used in the film, some of which are wrecked in a comically over-the-top pileup:The sheer scale of The Blues Brothers’ final set piece is commendable in and of itself—as is the movie’s commitment to treating real-life cars like a bunch of Hot Wheels.
15. Baby Driver (2017)
For good and for ill, Edgar Wright’s movies exude an abundance of style, and Baby Driver is no exception. Baby Driver is centered on a clever gimmick: The action works in tandem with its soundtrack because the film’s protagonist, Baby (Ansel Elgort), suffers from tinnitus and constantly plays music to drown out the ringing. When everything’s clicking into place, Baby Driver feels like a supersized series of music videos, and nothing hits quite like its opening sequence. Baby acts as the getaway driver for a bank robbery while listening to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Bellbottoms.” The ensuing chase works around rhythms of the song, as if Baby’s Subaru WRX were the star of its own dance number. Take nothing away from the actual driving, either, which puts the rally car to good use:Baby Driver’s gimmick stretches a little thin by the end, but it’s hard to deny the crowd-pleasing power of Wright’s film when it’s firing on all cylinders.
14. The Raid 2 (2014)
With a trio of kickass Indonesian martial arts films under his belt, Gareth Evans has established himself as one of the most exciting action directors on the planet—someone who seems most in his element staging positively brutal hand-to-hand combat. In The Raid 2, however, Evans also brought his signature brand of carnage to the road. While there’s some cleverly executed close-quarters fighting within the confines of an SUV, courtesy of Iko Uwais’s hard-hitting protagonist, what really cements this sequence’s greatness are the moments when Evans turns the cars into an extension of the characters’ fists:This belongs in an entirely new category of combat: car fights. There are so many action scenes in The Raid 2 worth writing home about—the kitchen showdown is an all-timer—but the fact that Evans casually tossed in an unforgettable car chase shows why he’s one of one.
13. The Driver (1978)
I’ll say this for Walter Hill’s The Driver: It sure lives up to its title. In this stripped-down thriller—one where none of the characters have a name—we follow the Driver (Ryan O’Neal), a getaway driver who has become a thorn in the side of the LAPD. In the film’s best scene, we see its taciturn protagonist living up to his reputation. With the Driver behind the wheel of a 1974 Ford Galaxie, a cat-and-mouse game unfolds when a handful of police cars are hot on his tail. What I love about this sequence is the pared-down nature of it all: The Driver outwits the cops as much as he outraces them. (Though, ironically, that wasn’t entirely by design: As Hill later explained, an accident on the last night of shooting meant they had to cobble together what had already been filmed.) Frankly, you’d never know the difference from the finished article:If the general vibes of The Driver seem familiar, that’s because it was a major inspiration for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, which just so happened to feature an unnamed protagonist (Ryan Gosling) evading police through the streets of Los Angeles.
12. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
The shaky-cam style of the Bourne franchise isn’t for everyone—just ask John Woo—but credit where it’s due: These movies know how to deliver a good chase scene. (A friendly reminder that The Bourne Legacy is an underrated gem with an awesome motorbike sequence to boot.) But there’s one Bourne chase that stands above the rest: the Moscow getaway in The Bourne Supremacy. After being wounded by the Russian assassin Kirill (Karl Urban), Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) hijacks a taxi, with both the police and Kirill in hot pursuit. This isn’t the kind of sequence that lingers on any one shot; instead, what makes it work is the frenetic nature of the editing, which allows the viewer to feel like they’re in Bourne’s fight-or-flight headspace:If I’m being honest, I’m usually one of those people who doesn’t like the Bourne movies’ shaky-cam style, but when it’s executed with such craftsmanship, you can’t help but get caught up in its adrenaline-pumping power.
11. The Seven-Ups (1973)
Philip D’Antoni was the producer of two movies featuring Hall of Fame car chases, Bullitt and The French Connection, the latter of which won him an Oscar for Best Picture. And with his lone directorial feature, The Seven-Ups, D’Antoni sought to craft an iconic sequence of his own. The film stars Roy Scheider as NYPD detective Buddy Mannuci (elite Italian American name; I can practically smell the gabagool), who commands a unit handling major felony cases that lead to seven-plus-year prison sentences; that’s why they’re known as the Seven-Ups. Midway through the movie, when one of the team members is killed by two shooters who flee the scene, Buddy chases after them. The 10-minute sequence, which starts in the Upper West Side before moving out of the city, is thrillingly immersive, alternating between close-ups of the characters and wider shots of all the damage they’ve caused. But the chase’s defining moment comes right at the end, when Buddy narrowly avoids a grisly death:The sequence isn’t quite at the level of Bullitt or The French Connection—very few are—but D’Antoni still manages to leave an unmistakable imprint on the car chase canon.
10. Death Proof (2007)
If you ask Quentin Tarantino, Death Proof, his knowingly trashy tribute to exploitation cinema, is the worst movie he’s ever made. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to admire about the film, which honors the unsung heroes of Hollywood: stunt performers. The first half of Death Proof follows three female friends who cross paths with Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a misogynistic serial killer who takes them out in his “death-proof” Chevy Nova. Fourteen months later, a group that includes stuntwoman Zoë Bell, playing herself, also lands on Mike’s radar. As Bell and her friends test out a ’70s Challenger, she performs a “ship’s mast” stunt, clinging onto the hood of the car with fastening belts. Unfortunately, when Mike pursues the women, it puts Bell in a precarious situation. Most of the entries on this list celebrate some next-level driving skills, but Death Proof’s inclusion is all about Bell pulling off one of the wildest stunts you’ll ever see. She’s quite literally hanging on for dear life:If the Academy handed out Oscars to stunt performers—and let’s hope it does happen one day—Bell would’ve won in a landslide.
9. To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
William Friedkin was already responsible for an all-time great car chase in The French Connection (more on that later), but the filmmaker made a commendable bid to outdo himself with To Live and Die in L.A. In this neo-noir thriller, Secret Service agent Richard Chance (William L. Petersen) is hell-bent on arresting an expert counterfeiter, Rick Masters (Willem Dafoe), who kills Chance’s partner days before his retirement. To capture Masters, Chance and his new partner, John Vukovich (John Pankow), attempt to steal $50,000 from a jewelry buyer for an undercover operation. The sting goes bad when the buyer, who is later revealed to be an undercover FBI agent, is killed and a group of gunmen goes after Chance and Vukovich. It’s a clever inversion of the usual car chase formula—this time, it’s the lawmen running away from the criminals. The outside-the-box thinking extends to the film’s most astonishing stretch, in which Chance evades the gunmen by driving into oncoming traffic:The fact that Friedkin shot the chase at the end of filming—in case anything disastrous happened to the actors—underscores just how risky the endeavor was. The pulse-pounding results speak for themselves.
8. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
The Matrix sequels have never been held in high esteem, but I’m ready to live my truth: The Matrix Reloaded fucking rules. (If anyone’s got a problem with this take, file your complaints with the Architect.) What’s more, the film happens to boast the finest action set piece of the franchise: the highway chase. After Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) free the Keymaker (Randall Duk Kim), a program capable of creating shortcuts within the Matrix, they’re pursued by the Twins (Neil and Adrian Rayment). Morpheus once warned that going on the freeway was “suicide,” and it doesn’t take long to see why: The chase draws the attention of several Agents, who repeatedly take over the bodies of other drivers on the road. The scene is the best of both worlds: There’s some incredible stuntwork on display, including when Moss weaves around on a Ducati, and CGI augments some feats of superhuman strength. But the most jaw-dropping aspect of the sequence is how it came together, as the production spent $2.5 million to construct its own highway (!) on California’s Alameda Island. If that weren’t unique enough, I’m pretty sure Reloaded is also the only movie in existence in which a katana takes out an SUV:The Matrix remains the Wachowskis’ masterpiece, but don’t get it twisted: The filmmakers were still cooking with gas in the sequel.
7. Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
Size isn’t everything, but for H. B. Halicki, who produced, wrote, directed, and starred in Gone in 60 Seconds, it’s certainly part of the package. The indie action flick follows Maindrian Pace (Halicki), a Los Angeles insurance investigator who has a lucrative side hustle jacking high-end cars. The plot kicks into motion when a South American drug lord enlists Pace to nab 48 cars within five days in exchange for $400,000. Of course, Gone in 60 Seconds is best known for what happens after Pace is caught stealing a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1, when he leads police on a chase that lasts a whopping 40 minutes. (More than 90 cars were destroyed in the process.) Halicki, for his part, did all the driving himself, including a spectacular jump off a makeshift ramp of crashed cars:While Halicki wound up making a few more indies after Gone in 60 Seconds, he died in an accident on the set of its sequel. His legacy as a do-it-all daredevil, however, lives on.
6. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Long before James Cameron immersed himself in the world of Pandora, he was a pioneer of state-of-the-art visual effects. Case in point: Terminator 2: Judgment Day is credited for having the first CGI character in a blockbuster, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a killing machine composed of a futuristic liquid metal. But Cameron also understood that the CGI of that era shouldn’t be the main attraction: It worked best as a complement to the practical effects, as seen in Judgment Day’s epic viaduct chase. When the T-1000 tracks down a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) in a shopping mall, he’s saved at the last minute by the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), giving John a chance to escape on his dirt bike. As the T-1000 gives chase, the David and Goliath vibes between man and machine are further epitomized by the T-1000’s commandeering of a truck. The sequence already has a terrifying sense of urgency, but it hits another level when the T-1000 crashes through the viaduct like the Kool-Aid Man:Big Jim is still revolutionizing what can be achieved with visual effects in the Avatar franchise, and while I cherish those movies, nothing beats his old-school showmanship.
5. Duel (1971)
The feature-length debut of Steven Spielberg—perhaps you’ve heard of him—the TV movie Duel is essentially one extended chase sequence between salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) and a sinister trucker determined to drive him off the road. I’ve attached a clip from the ending of the film, but that doesn’t do Duel justice. What cements this movie’s greatness is how it sustains an unbearable level of tension across its 90-minute running time—with a budget under $500,000, no less. Spielberg’s masterstroke is never once showing us the other driver, anthropomorphizing the truck itself as a monster. (You can see a lot of similarities with how he would build suspense in Jaws.) When Mann finally gets the upper hand, tricking his adversary into driving off a cliff, it feels like you can breathe again:Spielberg would move on to bigger and better things after Duel, but considering how much the director accomplished with so little, you can’t help but wonder what else he could conjure up with limited resources.
4. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Like Duel, Fury Road is basically one long car chase—the difference is Miller got to work with a blockbuster budget, and made every cent of it count. It’s hard to pick a single standout sequence in Fury Road, but if I had to choose, I’d go with the first attack on the War Rig after Furiosa (Charlize Theron) flees with the wives of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Here’s why: Think back to when you saw Fury Road for the first time, before you fully grasped the vehicular carnage that was in store. And then stuff like this kept happening:To quote Steven Soderbergh’s thoughts on Fury Road: “I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.” Whether or not Miller manages to one-up the action in Furiosa, the director is already in the pantheon.
3. The French Connection (1971)
We return to the Friedkin-verse for what may be his best film, The French Connection, the crime thriller based on Robin Moore’s 1969 nonfiction book of the same name. The story concerns two NYPD detectives, Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy “Cloudy” Russo (Roy Scheider), and their tireless pursuit of a French heroin smuggler. But while there’s plenty to admire about how The French Connection illustrates the thin line between police and criminals, its greatest claim to fame is its car chase. After Popeye narrowly survives a sniper attack, he goes after the shooter, who escapes on an elevated train. The ensuing sequence is true daredevil filmmaking that Friedkin shot without permits, leading to real crashes with New Yorkers that made the final cut. But Friedkin’s finest touch was mounting a camera to the front of the car, making the audience feel like they’re part of the action:My Ringer colleague Justin Sayles believes The French Connection’s chase should’ve landed at no. 1, and I’m sure many folks will agree with him. Being the only film on this list to win Best Picture, however, is a solid consolation prize.
2. Bullitt (1968)
When it comes to modern car chases, all roads lead back to Bullitt. A Dad Cinema classic, the film stars Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco detective who pursues a group of mobsters after a key witness is killed in protective custody. In his search for answers, Bullitt realizes he’s being tailed by a couple of hitmen, and then turns the tables on them. From there, the chase is on. Aside from McQueen doing most of his own stunts behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback, what’s so impressive about the sequence is how timeless it is. Even the little imperfections, like hubcaps repeatedly coming off the wheels, work to the film’s advantage, stressing just how much these drivers are living on a razor’s edge. It’s been more than 50 years since Bullitt revolutionized the car chase, and yet few movies since have felt like they’re pushing the envelope to such an exhilarating degree:That the car driven by McQueen was recently sold at auction for $3.74 million, a then-record price for a Mustang, underlines Bullitt’s enduring legacy.
1. Ronin (1998)
“If I’m going to do a car chase,” filmmaker John Frankenheimer said in an interview with the American Society of Cinematographers, “I’m going to do a car chase that’s going to make somebody think about whether or not they want to do another one!” Boy, did he ever. In Frankenheimer’s late-career masterpiece, Ronin, the director actually incorporated several chases, but it’s the climactic sequence that stands alone as the greatest ever filmed. The movie concerns an international group of mercenaries who are hired to steal a mysterious briefcase; a series of double-crosses and double-bluffs ensue. But for the final chase, all you need to know is that Sam (Robert De Niro), a mercenary with ties to the CIA, is in pursuit of Deirdre (Natascha McElhone), an IRA operative in possession of the case. Winding through the streets and tunnels of Paris, what’s most striking is just how fluid it all feels. You’re completely engrossed in the chase’s forward momentum, captured from every conceivable angle; a symphony of controlled chaos. The driving styles even reflect the characters: Deirdre is reckless and impulsive, while Sam remains calm and controlled.There are many worthy car chases in this ranking, but in my view, Ronin takes pole position. And while I can’t imagine a movie ever topping what Frankenheimer achieved, I’d love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

I don't know if you have watched this clip of marilyn talking to her bf's father in a movie. Look how she communicates her point without yelling or adopting a fighter's body language (we might need it in life or death situations, ngl).
I believe that if we shout and adopt a masculine demeanour to get our point across all the time, there's something about it that makes it either fall on deaf ears, or we feel worse inside afterwards. I wonder who taught Marilyn the art of feminine communication. She is incredible at that.

The synthetic material felt surprisingly sturdy and authentic, making it perfect for learning the ropes without the danger of injury. Not to mention, it closely resembles the actual Trench Hawk, so every training session felt like a real-life scenario. However, the weight was noticeably lighter than the real deal, which might not be ideal for those looking for a more accurate experience. Overall, the Trench Hawk Trainer provided a safe and effective way to hone my skills, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their training game. 🔗Cold Steel Trail Hawk Axe: Versatile and Durable Outdoor Survival Gearhttps://preview.redd.it/7k71a5185r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be06c054c5c50dfc65f95b961702a8943da601bf The Cold Steel Trail Hawk Tactical Gear is a versatile and durable axe that's perfect for survivalists, preppers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The nylon handle provides an enhanced grip that makes it convenient to hold, while the steel construction ensures structural strength for long-term use. I particularly appreciate the rubber ferrule, which is designed to be slip-resistant, making it an excellent choice for uneven terrain or icy sidewalks.

However, the overall design and engineering of the cane are top-notch, and it gives me a sense of reassurance knowing I have a sturdy and reliable walking staff whenever I need it. 🔗Cold Steel 1911 Guardian 2 Walking Stick for Comfort and Stylehttps://preview.redd.it/iows0cp85r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4b98bc778859c22702efc1ea039213016671ef0 I recently had the opportunity to try out the Cold Steel 1911 Guardian II Walking Stick, and let me tell you, it's quite the conversation starter! The first thing I noticed was the attention to detail - the pistol grip-inspired handle is surprisingly ergonomic, making it a comfortable addition to my daily walks. The aluminum shaft is both sturdy and lightweight, making it easy to navigate through various terrains. But what really sets this walking stick apart is the pebble grain synthetic grip - it provides a firm hold without causing any discomfort, even during long walks. I also appreciate the fact that it's designed to accommodate custom 1911 pistol grips, allowing me to personalize it further.

I found that it was incredibly reliable and felt solid in my hands, making it the perfect training tool. One of the standout features of this staff was its weight, which gave me a realistic feeling when practicing. While some users noted that it was heavier than they preferred, I appreciated the added challenge and authenticity it provided. The thickness of the staff was another highlight, as it allowed for better control and maneuverability during practice. However, some users mentioned that it was slightly off-balance due to the uneven thickness at the ends. Despite this minor issue, the overall design was well-suited for martial arts training and flow art. The polypropylene material used in the construction of this staff was another impressive aspect, as it proved to be virtually unbreakable and practically indestructible. It held up well to wear and tear, even after years of use. However, some users suggested that it might be too heavy for certain applications, such as hiking. Overall, the Cold Steel Training Staff proved to be a reliable and effective training tool. It provided the necessary challenge for those looking to perfect their martial arts techniques and was a versatile option for various exercises. However, its weight and thickness might be a factor for some users, depending on their specific needs and preferences. 🔗Stylish, Durable Cold Steel Walking Staff for Urban Strollshttps://preview.redd.it/0lcmvxg95r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce2cc79129df519ebf5b3dbfa4bbda7468f92142 The Cold Steel Pistol Grip City Stick was my daily companion for quite some time, and I have to say, it proved to be quite versatile and durable. Made entirely out of eleven layers of fiberglass, I was impressed by its ability to withstand impact without a single crack. The 6160 Aluminum head provided an added touch of elegance and sophistication. One of the most prominent features of this walking stick was its ability to function as both a cane and a self-defense weapon. The pistol grip design made it easy to hold and use, providing a comfortable and secure grip during long walks or in case of emergencies. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, the cane proved to be a bit on the heavy side. Granted, its heft gave it a sense of robustness and stability, but I couldn't help but wish it were a tad lighter for those extended walks. Another minor concern was the screw holding the head to the shaft. It felt a bit thin, and although I never had any issues with it, the possibility of a break seemed somewhat of a risk. Overall, I would still recommend this walking stick for its durability, versatility, and elegance. It's surely a reliable companion for any adventurous spirit. 🔗Cold Steel Polymer Axe Head Walking Staff for Enhanced Support and Durabilityhttps://preview.redd.it/20kthy0a5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95d46f72287d72e2b6fb76d5e39a9e2ea10485db Recently, I got my hands on the Cold Steel Axe Head Polymer Cane, and it has been a game-changer for me. As someone who often goes hiking and enjoys long walks, this cane offers enhanced support that I had never experienced before. The polypropylene material is a significant highlight of this product; it not only makes it sturdy and durable but also stands up to harsh weather conditions. One feature that stood out to me is the axe-shaped handle. It's comfortable to grip and holds well, making it an excellent companion for my adventures. However, one downside I noticed was the lack of any resistance mechanism at the end of the cane. This made it a bit challenging to keep it steady on hard surfaces, as it would slide around quite easily. Overall, the Cold Steel Axe Head Polymer Cane has proven to be a reliable and versatile walking tool. Its solid construction and sturdy design make it an excellent choice for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts like myself. Despite the minor issue with the cane's resistance mechanism, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and functional walking stick. 🔗Cold Steel Soldier's Targe Walking Staffhttps://preview.redd.it/d4ugtuca5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87d1c33224084b7fc7b653754e9e556b29578375 I've been using the Cold Steel Soldier's Targe in my daily life, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! Made in the USA, this 19-inch diameter shield measures 0.5 inches in thickness with a weight of 2 lbs. 2.7 oz. Now, I know what you're thinking: what's so special about it, right?

This targe is a great training tool, perfect for SCA rattan combat. And it's versatile! Not only is it great for training, but it can also be used for solo movements or even for self-defense – surprise! However, one thing to note is that the weight can be a little more on the heavy side, especially when you're trying to lift it. But that's a small price to pay for such a reliable and sturdy shield. Overall, the Cold Steel Soldier's Targe is a fantastic product that's perfect for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile shield. The price is quite reasonable, especially considering the high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Great for training, great for self-defense, and great for everyday use – this is one targe you definitely don't want to be without! 🔗Stylish Blackthorn Shillelagh Walking Stick with Clipped Thorn Designhttps://preview.redd.it/pmy8wpqa5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b6be0956554eb7d7f21cc9fe61c45431308bc3a My experience with the Blackthorn Shillelagh has been nothing short of a delight. Its distinctive charm immediately caught my eye, with its clipped thorns design elevating it from a mere walking stick to a unique accessory. Made from high-impact polymer material, it boasts an enhanced durability that's perfect for prolonged usage without the need for constant maintenance. One of the most remarkable aspects of this product is its polished faux-wood head. Not only does it provide a smooth and premium look, but it also adds to the overall appeal and functionality of the walking stick. I found that its overall length of 27 inches and weight of 20.1 ounces offered a solid balance and ease of use during all my outdoor activities. However, I did notice a few drawbacks. Firstly, the weight may not be ideal for all users, especially if it's to be used frequently or for extended periods. Additionally, the thorns on the shaft initially felt uncomfortable, which led to some modifications being made in order to enhance user comfort. Despite its minor drawbacks, the Cold Steel Blackthorn Shillelagh remains a highly-functional and visually alluring accessory. Its durability and unique design make it a fantastic addition to anyone's collection of walking sticks, whether for everyday use or as a collector's piece. 🔗Cold Steel Heavy-Duty Nylon Walking Staff with Black Anodized Aluminum Shafthttps://preview.redd.it/536x4g4b5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d414e75dbe38be619ceb08d2ec9519b3d5afb86a Imagine taking a stroll with a walking staff that feels both sturdy and comfortable in your hands. That's the experience the Cold Steel Cable Whip Cane provides. I've had the pleasure of using this cane in my daily life, and it has made all the difference. The heavy-duty nylon handle feels durable yet provides a natural grip, while the black anodized aluminum shaft adds elegance and strength. As expected from Cold Steel, this walking staff is made with top-tier materials and construction methods that assure it will last an impressive amount of time. The 37-inch overall length and 27.25-inch whip length offer ample support and reach, making it suitable for various terrains and activities. However, there is one downside to the Cable Whip Cane. Its nylon handle, while comfortable, can get slippery during rainy or sweaty conditions. It would be great if Cold Steel could incorporate a texture or another material for better grip in such situations. Overall, the Cold Steel Cable Whip Cane is a reliable and versatile walking staff that has greatly enhanced my outdoor adventures. Its unique design and top-quality construction make it stand out among other canes in the market. With minor improvements, this product could become a true essential for those seeking a durable and reliable walking aid. 🔗Cool Halloween Wand Walking Staffhttps://preview.redd.it/k5ybp9ob5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edfce4069896de939b18eed54a2c30c5c01c8d72 Recently, I came across this unique Walking Staff, or as some call it, the Cold Steel Walking Stick. As a fan of both practical and eye-catching accessories, I was intrigued to try it out firsthand. What really stood out to me was the 62-inch length, which added a certain level of grandiosity to my wanderings, making me feel like I was on a quest for some hidden treasure. Despite being made of plastic, the Walking Staff surprisingly felt sturdy and well-made, thanks to its realistic wood grain texture. This added detail gave it a touch of sophistication, making me feel confident in its ability to support me on my journey. With a weight that was far from burdensome, I quickly came to love the convenience it provided while strolling around town. However, there were a couple of drawbacks as well. Although the black detailing made the staff visually appealing, it did attract a considerable amount of attention. This might not be a problem for some, but I found myself feeling a bit self-conscious as I used it. Additionally, even though it was lightweight, I couldn't help but feel that a more durable material like metal would have given me a stronger sense of security during my adventures. In conclusion, the Walking Staff, or the Cold Steel Walking Stick, is a delightful and practical accessory for those who want to add a touch of magic to their daily life. Its unique blend of style and function, while not perfect, definitely makes it an interesting choice for anyone looking for something a bit unconventional. 🔗Cold Steel Walking Axe Head Cane: Combat-Inspired Self-Defense Stickhttps://preview.redd.it/s8dwl60c5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e378270308907bb4418d6f109a0749bbd66787b Recently, I've been using the Cold Steel Walking Cane with an Axe head. At first, the weight of the cane was noticeable, but it quickly became sturdy and trusty. I preferred to use the cane as intended, rather than attempting to modify it for a smaller size. The cane's handle was comfortable, providing a perfect grip for everyday use. However, the slick surface of the cane was a bit of a drawback when moving around on polished floors; it didn't offer much resistance, and sometimes it became difficult for me to keep a firm hold. During my time using the cane, I found it to be an excellent choice when traversing various types of terrain. The axe head was both an appealing design and served a practical purpose. However, I also discovered that the product really needed a rubber tip on the end to prevent it from sliding all over the place. This, combined with the slight inconveniences posed by the cane's material and size, have led me to rate the Cold Steel Walking Cane with an axe head a solid, functional, and versatile tool for daily use. 🔗Durable Walking Staff for City and Trail Usehttps://preview.redd.it/cfrjdvsc5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f48916bc4e0ffafd2bd923bc33ec1150d91eebe5 I recently had the chance to try out the Cold Steel Walkabout Stick, and I must say, it truly is a versatile and sturdy tool. Made from solid black polypropylene, it's a durable option that's perfect for hiking or using as a self-defense weapon. The weight and over-sized rounded pommel head give it a solid heft, making it an ideal companion for navigating tricky terrain or keeping an intimidating presence. The textured surface provides a comfortable and firm grip, while the simple one-piece construction ensures it remains lightweight when you need it. The walking stick is not just an aid for stability, but also doubles as a useful tool for outdoor activities, and I appreciate its stylish yet practical design. Overall, the Cold Steel Walkabout Stick is a great addition to any walker's arsenal and a fun conversation piece. If you're looking for a reliable and all-purpose walking stick, this one is definitely worth checking out! . 🔗Polypropylene Walking Stick for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/k9fczred5r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5af7cf427fc41ce9e0ae5a3d3d0d5669c6cd3652 As a nature lover and avid hiker, I was intrigued by the promise of the Blackthorn Walking Stick. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say it's a sturdy and reliable companion for my outdoor adventures. One feature that stands out is the blend of polypropylene and wood-like texture. This gives the walking stick a perfect balance of strength and style. While it may not have the same rugged feel as a real Blackthorn staff, the faux wood knob at the top adds a touch of elegance and authenticity. The walking stick is also surprisingly lightweight despite its substantial length of 59 inches. This makes it ideal for long treks without causing undue fatigue. The dimensions and ergonomic design make it comfortable to hold for extended periods. However, the one drawback I encountered was that the thorns on the knob could occasionally snag on my clothing or backpack. While this might seem like a minor issue, it's something to be aware of when walking in tight spaces.

Its broad blade and integrated guard design provide a solid grip, while the Polypropylene handle scales offer a comfortable and durable hold. I've had the pleasure of using this knife in various situations, from camping trips to survival drills, and it has never let me down. The 1055 carbon steel ensures a strong, rugged construction that holds up well against rust and harsh conditions. The spring-tempered steel provides an excellent balance between strength and flexibility, allowing the blade to withstand the most demanding tasks without compromising its performance. One of the standout features of the GI Tanto is its versatility - it can be easily converted into a spear in a pinch, simply by removing the handle scales and attaching the blade to a suitable wooden shaft. This adaptability makes it an invaluable addition to any survival kit or bug-out bag. However, no product is without its drawbacks, and the GI Tanto is no exception. While its sturdy construction ensures a long lifespan, handling it for extended periods can be tiring due to its substantial weight. Additionally, the knife's size makes it less practical for everyday carry or more discreet situations. Price-wise, the GI Tanto is a steal, offering a fantastic value for its quality and features. It's affordable enough to stock up on multiple copies for personal use or as gifts for friends and family. In summary, the Cold Steel GI Tanto 80PGTK is a robust, versatile, and dependable tactical knife that has earned its reputation among outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists alike.

After a quick research, I stumbled upon the Cold Steel Chaos, a double-edge fixed blade inspired by the classic trench knives from both World Wars. This knife was designed for modern-day warriors, offering both security and comfort while holding it. Upon holding the knife, the unique D-ring guard made of reinforced 6061 aluminum caught my attention. It allowed me to grip the knife securely, while also protecting my hand from incoming attacks and damage. The 1055 carbon steel pommel was tapered for punyo or butt-strikes, making it perfect to defend myself in a life-threatening scenario. The 7.5-inch SK-5 high carbon blade was available in either double-edge or tanto blade shapes. I opted for the double-edge, as I believed it would provide a more efficient cutting and striking experience. The black Tuff-Ex coating on the blade enhanced corrosion resistance and improved cutting power by reducing friction. The handle, made of 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, felt solid and secure in my hand. It accommodated a wide range of hand sizes, including mine with average-sized hands. The knife came with a tough Secure-Ex sheath, equipped with a belt loop for dependable and versatile carry. My experience with the Cold Steel Chaos double-edge blade was nothing short of impressive. It offered a perfect balance between form and function in a sleek design. Although it was a bit heavy compared to other knives, its weight contributed to its strength and effectiveness. The knife was sharp, sturdy, and ready for action at all times, making it an excellent addition to my daily life and adventures. 🔗San MAI Recon Tanto Sas Knife - High-Quality VG-10 Stainless Steel Blade with Kray-Ex Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/f4qqtn08bq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f93c83150eccc01fc361e212cb80f748bdb5a332 I've been using the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto as my daily pocket knife for the past few months, and I must say, it's a fantastic blade. The handle is made of Black Kray-Ex, providing a solid grip with no rolling or twisting in the hand, even under heavy use. The knife measures 11.75 inches overall, with a blade length of 17.9 cm, making it perfect for various tasks. One of the most impressive features of this Tanto is its blade, made of VG-10 San Mai Stainless Steel. The deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and the contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats emphasize the knife's unique appearance. The blade is razor sharp, and I haven't needed much maintenance, even after some heavy use. Although it's not a "do-it-all" knife, the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto is a great medium-sized Tanto. It's been through some rough use, and I'm glad to say it held up well. The knife comes with a thick, high-quality Secure-Ex sheath that has given me years of hard service, keeping my Tanto at my side. Overall, I highly recommend the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto for its cutting capability, durability, and affordable price. 🔗Perfectly Designed Counter TAC Boot Knife for Ultimate Functionalityhttps://preview.redd.it/zr5t86a8bq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=570dd9c60c90b16ea927ed7e82b504ad97660e4a While the world of boot knives can be crowded, Cold Steel's Counter TAC I outshines its competitors. Its sharp, AUS 8A full-tang blade is a testament to top-notch quality, but one standout feature that really caught my attention is the vacuum heat treatment and sub-zero quenching for added strength and durability. Designed with the philosophy of functionality at heart, its compact construction feels just as comfortable in tight boots as on a belt or holster. The handle, finished in a sleek black, fits comfortably in the hand and provides a firm grip in even the most high-pressure situations. With the Counter TAC I, there's no compromise on utility. Its purpose-built design ensures that it's as adaptable as it is versatile, allowing both pros and novices to appreciate its efficiency in a range of situations. However, no product is perfect, and this one isn't an exception either. While the knife excels at what it does, one could argue that its performance comes at the cost of a slightly heavier handle. Nevertheless, given its exceptional capabilities, it's a small price to pay. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the Counter TAC I by Cold Steel is a robust, reliable, and highly functional boot knife that's well worth its investment. With a wide array of features that have garnered praise from users, this knife makes a compelling contender in the boot knives category. 🔗VG-1 San Mai 3 Stainless Steel Cold Steel Oss Hunting Knife with Kray-Ex Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/vzyhp1r8bq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27033da80a9f4f9bf62417865b2b6a2f1ad3d94b As a reviewer who has tried the Cold Steel Master Hunter, I can confidently say that it has become my go-to knife for various outdoor activities. One of the features that stood out to me was the comfortable, deeply checkered Kraton grip, which allows for long-term use without any discomfort. The broad, thin blade with a distinct taper provides exceptional cutting ability, edge retention, and ease of resharpening. However, one of the cons I encountered was the knife's tendency to be easily lost due to its minimalistic design. I also noticed that the blade occasionally required additional sharpening, despite its excellent edge retention. Nevertheless, the overall performance and durability of the Master Hunter make it a reliable and versatile tool for all your hunting needs. 🔗Highly Durable Cold Steel Bushman Knife for Survival Needshttps://preview.redd.it/d5goqm69bq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=014c0da5049081bbbc40541cf9ccc91a0d7ebd5a Recently, I had the pleasure of using the Cold Steel Bushman Knife and let me tell you, my experience was quite an adventure. This knife, with its 7-inch blade made of SK-5 high carbon steel, proved to be a reliable companion on my outdoor excursions. One of the standout features was its hollow handle, which was surprisingly versatile. I was able to store a few essentials inside, and with the right handle extensions, I could reach impressive lengths for certain tasks. The knife's unique construction allowed for a seamless blend of blade and handle, which gave it a solid, reliable feel. However, there was one drawback to my experience: the sheath. While the Secure-Ex sheath featured a Ferrocerium Fire Steel, which was convenient for starting fires, it had a few issues. The locking mechanism was less than secure, making it prone to accidental release. It also lacked a left-handed option, which could be a dealbreaker for some users. Despite these minor setbacks, the Cold Steel Bushman Knife proved to be a sturdy and practical tool for various outdoor activities. With its strong blade and adaptable handle, it was a reliable ally on my adventures. While the sheath could use some improvements, the knife itself more than made up for it. 🔗Cold Steel Oss Scimitar Knife for Commercial Useshttps://preview.redd.it/wc452lq9bq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42db8041dce2d950ba562be12a1e9aa1b00d6f33 The Cold Steel Commercial Series Scimitar Knife has truly become an indispensable addition to my daily life, thanks to its remarkable design and unmatched quality. This Taiwanese-made knife is perfect for all sorts of tasks, from hunting and fishing to commercial kitchens and butcher shops.

This tomahawk boasts a 5mm thick leaf made of 65 m carbon steel, giving it a robust and sturdy feel. The 24 oz weight distribution adds a perfect balance that makes throwing it a breeze. Its 17 1/2 inch length comes with a comfortable 9 1/2 inch nylon wrapping handle, making it easy to grip and wield. The single-piece design, crafted by custom knifemaker Andrew Demko, ensures durability and strength. The axe also comes with a detachable articulated sheath that offers protection from the sharp edge. While I really like the balance and durability of this Cold Steel Recon Hawk, I've noticed that the hollow ground edge can be a bit fragile. It doesn't stick as well as some other throwing tomahawks. However, the balance and heft make up for it, and the axe is great for survival, escape and evasion scenarios or just a day of outdoor fun. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, well-balanced tomahawk. 🔗High-Quality Cpm-3V Carbon Steel Drop Forged Survivalist Knife (Stonewash Finish)https://preview.redd.it/p9qga1habq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94040652b5f025bf9b8ff0c55133a058919fd290 The Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter, with its stone wash finish (36CB), is a fantastic upgrade to the classic design. With an extra broad American CPM3-V High Carbon Steel blade that can hold a razor-sharp edge, this knife definitely stands out in the crowd. It's not just sharp - it's also incredibly durable, handling tasks from cutting power cords to field dressing large game with ease. Its comfortable Kray-Ex handle provides a non-slip grip, even in wet or sticky conditions. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The Secure-Ex case, while functional, might not be the most durable option. Additionally, it's worth considering an alternative sheath, such as leather or Kydex, to prevent dulling the edge or damage to the knife. Nonetheless, the Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter (36CB) still delivers a satisfying hunting and camping experience, making it a top choice for those who appreciate a versatile and reliable tool in the field. 🔗Cold Steel Master Tanto Fixed Blade Knife with Kraton Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/zg2rsosabq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7b39f7c5baafe2e48dc482ec436bd1726222c86 I recently had the chance to put the Cold Steel Master Tanto 3V to the test, and I must say, it was quite the experience. This knife is a true gem, with a deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels that really accentuates its unique appearance. The contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats sets it apart from other Tantos and highlights Cold Steel's state-of-the-art grinding methods.

It's a versatile knife that can handle everything from slicing through meat to cutting your way through the wilderness. And with an overall length of 11.5", it's the ideal size for everyday carry or for bringing along on your camping trips. Overall, the Cold Steel Master Tanto 3V is a fantastic knife that's well worth the investment. Its high-quality materials, unique appearance, and reliability make it a standout choice for anyone in the market for a new Tanto blade. 🔗Cold Steel Canadian Belt Knife: A High-Quality Fixed Blade for Ultimate Penetration and Precisionhttps://preview.redd.it/ursdzjbbbq1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe5059aa9a277300a99e4e3fae5c520d180d86ce This classic sub-hilt knife, with a 4.5-inch VG-10 San MAI clip point blade, offers incredible reach and penetration.

This Tactical Katana, made from high carbon steel with a thickness of almost 1/4 of an inch, is truly reminiscent of the intricately designed blades that have been passed down through the ages. What stood out from my experience with the product was not only its superb quality, but its impressive overall length of forty inches. This means that it can be not only an imposing decorative piece in any living space, but also a convenient accessory for various reenactments such as historical events or cosplay events, where the realism matters a lot. However, the only drawback I can think of is its manufacturing location - the U. S. may be the preferred and trusted location for crafting such traditional items, but its manufacturing in China could pose potential doubts about its authentic craftsmanship. Other than that, the Katana Warrior Series is a truly valuable buy that gives a taste of the richness of Japanese culture without the hefty tag usually associated with genuine swords.

This outdoor camera kit, Cromorc Home Business, comes with a Network Video Recorder system and outdoor camera that allows you to follow in real-time what's happening around your home or business. The NVR system offers a 10-inch LCD monitor that connects automatically with the 4 cameras without the use of wires. One of my favorite features of the Cromorc system is its high-resolution Full HD video of 1920 * 1080P and night vision with clear images thanks to the 3 integrated Infrared Array LEDs. I was impressed by the camera's ability to record day or night up to 7/7 and extend the viewing distance to 20 meters. Additionally, the cameras have a metal housing and IP66 weatherproof protection, which is perfect for outdoor usage. However, I did notice a slight drawback in the night vision quality. The range at night is not as great as expected, but overall, the system is good for the price. The motion detection function notifies you with a real-time SMS on your smartphone through the IP PRO application on iOS or Eseecloud on Android's Google Play, which is quite helpful. In conclusion, the Cromorc Home Business is a reliable and expandable outdoor security camera system that offers a convenient and easy-to-use monitoring solution.

The 120° field of view and adjustable recording angle made sure I could capture the entire cabin interior in stunning detail.

The installation process was a breeze, with the simple plug-and-play mechanism. It took just seconds to install it in my SC 200. The only downside I encountered was that I couldn't use the front and rear facing dash cam at the same time. Overall, Cobra FV-CV1 has become an essential addition to my daily life, offering peace of mind and ensuring I'm prepared for any incidents on the road. 🔗Ultimate Smart Dash Cam - 2023 Editor's Choice Winnerhttps://preview.redd.it/b8rth58i0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f1c1c00a62ed4651660d1cd1445e49337eaac6f As a savvy driver, I was always on the lookout for the perfect dash cam. That is until I came across the Cobra SC 400D. A friend of mine recommended it, and I was surprised at how intuitive it was to use. The real-time alert system and Alexa integration were just some of the features that made this dash cam feel like it was made for me. The Cobra SC 400D Ultimate Smart Dash Cam boasts a sleek touch screen, which I found incredibly easy to navigate while driving. I also appreciated the voice command feature which, although still a work in progress, added a level of convenience I hadn't seen before. However, nothing in life is perfect, and the Cobra SC 400D wasn't immune to its quirks. The app-based Drive Smarter community integration could be frustrating at times, as it required an unpredictable WiFi connection and the occasional firmware update. Moreover, I encountered a minor issue with the GPS mount attachment, which was tricky to align at first. Despite these problems, the Cobra SC 400D proved to be an excellent dash cam, providing me with a reliable solution to record my journeys and monitor my surroundings. It's an ideal companion for anyone looking to enhance their driving experience. 🔗Cobra SC 100 Smart Dash Cam with GPS and Bluetooth Connectivityhttps://preview.redd.it/jzqu1qki0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f12157eea1c5400723ebc53926852a0fa43d8b1a One sunny afternoon, I decided to take my Cobra SC 100 Single-View Smart Dash Cam on a test run. The setup was quick and easy, and the dash cam's sleek design remained inconspicuous behind my rear view mirror. As I headed off on my journey, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort knowing that my every move on the road was being captured in crystal-clear Full HD resolution. The Cobra SC 100 boasts a plethora of features that ensure your safety on the road. With continuous loop recording, I knew that I wouldn't miss any key moments. The emergency Mayday alert system was a particular highlight for me, as it gave me peace of mind knowing that I could quickly alert emergency contacts in the event of a severe accident. The dash cam's Parking Mode and Motion Sensing functionality also made me feel more secure, as I knew that it would be keeping an eye on my vehicle even when I wasn't in the driver's seat. However, there were a few aspects of the Cobra SC 100 that didn't quite live up to expectations. While the app's connectivity was smooth, I found that the GPS location and speed information were only embedded in the video clips intermittently. This, coupled with the occasional sound recording that I couldn't seem to turn off, left me feeling a bit frustrated. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Cobra SC 100 proved to be a reliable and impressive product. Its sleek design, easy setup, and wealth of advanced features made it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a reliable dash cam. 🔗Ultra Compact 1080P Full HD Dash Cam with Motion Sensorhttps://preview.redd.it/zqqler5j0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2df4c6030f5af6d46a771bff9752722f14429e21 The Cobra CDR 820 HD Dash Cam has been a reliable companion in my daily drive. The ultra-compact size allowed me to install it discreetly, and the 1.5" LCD screen made it easy for me to review the footage. The wide 118-degree angle ensured that I could capture clear videos from any angle, even in long-range situations. The product's pros include its ease of use, seamless installation, and the ability to record high-quality videos with impressive detail. The camera also featured a motion sensor and G-sensor for automatic recording and protection of crucial footage during accidents, which was a nice addition. However, there were also some minor drawbacks. The battery life was relatively short, and I had to rely on a 12V power source to keep it running. The sensitivity of the G-sensors seemed to be too high, causing unnecessary "locks" for even minor vibrations. I had to disable the motion sensor and G-sensor to avoid these issues. Despite these drawbacks, I am satisfied with the Cobra CDR 820 HD Dash Cam's performance. It captured clear images, had a user-friendly interface, and offered easy access to recorded footage. It's worth investing in a dash cam for added security and peace of mind. 🔗Smart Dash Cam with Dual-View for Crystal Clear Video and Hands-Free Voice Controlhttps://preview.redd.it/oihp2rvj0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93d85af3c5c4142445b3c2407fd7c8a8db0f11a0 I recently installed the Cobra SC 200D dual-view smart dash cam in my car, and I must say, it's been an interesting journey so far. This little gadget has captured some stunning footage of my daily commute, and the ability to switch between front and rear view is a game-changer. The 3-inch LCD screen is the cherry on top, allowing me to review the footage right there on the spot. However, there have been a few hiccups along the way. For starters, the voice command feature didn't quite work as advertised. Sometimes it missed my commands, and other times it responded with the wrong action. It would be nice if the technology was a bit more reliable in this area. Additionally, I found the app to be a bit tricky to navigate at times. It took me a few tries to figure out how to download the clips and upload them to the cloud storage. A more user-friendly interface would have made this process much smoother. Overall, the Cobra SC 200D has its ups and downs. While it provides a great view of my surroundings and captures some lovely footage, the voice command feature and app could use some refining. But all in all, it's been a worthwhile addition to my car. 🔗Cobra SC 201 Dual-View Smart Dash Cam: Advanced Safety and Security Solutionhttps://preview.redd.it/x0q2jilk0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92b92d1742ce32423eb476ac8f9e0c6149527451 Imagine cruising down the road with peace of mind, knowing that your every move is captured and recorded by the Cobra SC 201 Dual-View Smart Dash Cam.

The sleek 3 inch QHD OLED display made it a breeze to review the footage. Another great aspect of this dash cam is the hands-free voice commands and safety features. The built-in WiFi and GPS made sharing and storing footage incredibly convenient, while the incident reports and Mayday alerts provided a sense of security. The continuous loop recording and emergency Mayday alert, along with the motion sensing and advanced driver assistance, ensured maximum protection for my car and me. However, I did experience a few drawbacks. At times, the dash cam would stay on even after I turned off my car, which was quite frustrating. Additionally, the app occasionally crashed or froze, which made it difficult to access the video files. I also noticed that the app interface changed after the company updated it, which caused some confusion. Overall, the Cobra Smart Dash & Rear Cam SC 200D QHD 1600P WiFi GPS is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance their driving experience.

As a daily driver, I was really excited to try it out and see how it would make my commute safer and more convenient. Right out of the box, the camera felt solid and well-built. The mount attachment was easy to install, ensuring a secure placement on my windshield. The first thing I noticed was the 4K UHD resolution, which made the video footage incredibly clear. It captured every detail, and the color accuracy was impressive, even when driving on sunny days or through challenging weather conditions. The wide-angle lens also made it easy to keep an eye on my surroundings. However, one downside was the footage quality during low-light situations; the camera could have done better in this regard. Another standout feature was the GPS mount attachment, which allowed me to track my route accurately. The extra adhesives that came with the package were a nice touch, ensuring the camera remained firmly in place. The vehicle charger and micro USB data cable made it simple to power the camera and transfer files to my computer or phone. One of the most appealing aspects of the SC 400 Smart Dash Cam was its built-in Alexa capabilities. With just a few voice commands, I could control the camera, start and stop recording, and even make it switch between the front and rear cameras. The heads-up navigation feature was a game-changer, helping me stay on track and avoid any unnecessary detours. However, there were a few issues I encountered. Firstly, the DriveSmart app, which is required to upload files and access additional features, left much to be desired. Its user interface was clunky, and frequent updates were required to maintain compatibility with the camera. Additionally, the app's connection issues and lack of support for popular navigation services like Google Maps or Waze were disappointing. Overall, the Cobra SC 400 Smart Dash Cam has some great features that make driving safer and more convenient. While it's not perfect, it offers a solid solution for those looking to stay protected on the road. 🔗Dual-View Dash Cam with iRadar for Enhanced Road Safety - Cobrahttps://preview.redd.it/11dr2qin0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=240206ba9145efcbf8d6d08873d62e1e2fe2b13c A few weeks ago, I spent some time trying out the Cobra DASH2316D drive HD front and rear camera dash cam with iRadar. The front-facing 1080p HD camera captures everything happening on the road, while the 160-degree wide angle lens at the rear provides ample coverage for everything behind me. The user interface is a breeze to navigate as all the important settings and features are neatly laid out for easy access. The 16GB microSD card does the trick in storing recorded footage and ensuring that critical events are preserved. However, as I found out, it fills up pretty quickly, and you may have to swap out the card every few weeks depending on how much footage you've captured. The built-in G-sensor automatically detects impacts, saving those precious moments. What really impressed me is the iRadar feature which provides real-time updates on the locations of speed cameras and police activity. This handy tool allows me to know exactly where I should keep my eyes peeled, or to strategically plan my route to a hotspot of activity (though that might not always be a bad thing). However, there is always room for improvement, especially in today's technology-driven world. The main con I've experienced is the occasional unresponsiveness of the app. At times, it took a few attempts to refresh or open the iRadar app for speed camera updates. Overall, the Cobra DASH2316D delivers decent performance in terms of video quality, storage space and crucial features that make for an essential dash cam. It's not perfect, but it's hard not to recommend it for providing a clear picture of what goes on in and around your car. 🔗Swann Pro-5MPMSD: High-Quality 5MP PIR Add-On Dome Security Camera with Night Visionhttps://preview.redd.it/6s5ez3vn0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb2dc4a7c814241b93ec21fcdf460c90dce3c181 With its 5-megapixel camera, the Swann PRO-5MPMSD dome provides crisp and clear images, even during the night. The infrared cut filter and powerful LEDs ensure that the camera captures every detail in any light, and the sturdy aluminum construction ensures durability whether you're putting it indoors or outdoors. The true detect PIR motion sensor eliminates false triggers, giving you more reliable motion detection and activity-triggered recording, keeping your property protected. Installation is a breeze, and you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're watching over what matters most. 🔗Wireless Security Camera with 1080p HD & True Detect Sensorhttps://preview.redd.it/jscqxyco0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e400f125bc0a213c74ff2a0de8637dde057ae9c One sunny afternoon, I decided to install the Swann CoreCam Security Camera at my home. The set-up process was a breeze, and the cameras were up and running within minutes. The 1080p Full HD video quality was crystal clear, both day and night. I was impressed that the cameras were weatherproof and could operate all year round. The heat and motion detection feature was a game-changer. It triggered video recording and sent push notifications when anyone entered my yard. I loved the two-way talk feature that allowed me to greet guests or warn intruders. The siren added an extra layer of security to my home. The Swann CoreCam Security Camera also offered hands-free voice control. I could easily ask Siri or Alexa to check the footage or receive alerts. The cameras backed up my recordings locally and in the cloud, ensuring that I always had a copy of my footage. However, I did experience a few issues. The battery life seemed to be shorter than advertised, lasting only a few weeks before needing a recharge. The motion detection could sometimes be unreliable, with a few false alarms. Lastly, the cameras' brackets had limited adjustment options, which made it difficult to position them perfectly. Overall, the Swann CoreCam Security Camera offered a reliable and easy-to-use solution for home security. The pros outweighed the cons, and I'm satisfied with my purchase. 🔗Seco-Larm Enforcer 4-in-1 Analog Turret Camera for Home Securityhttps://preview.redd.it/mff5hlmo0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4280ec16c1226b8e22de9046d3af50626aeec266 The Seco-Larm Enforcer has been a reliable addition to my home surveillance system. The wide viewing angle and built-in IR LED ensure that my home stays under constant and clear surveillance. The digital noise reduction is a game-changer, as it helps me sort through the fuzzy images caused by low light situations.

One of the standout features is the precision laser range-finding module. It ensures accurate measurement up to 1000 yards, which has really helped me in my hunt for game. The 1024×768 AMOLED display provides a crisp, high-contrast image, making it easier for me to spot my quarry, even in the harshest conditions. I also love the fact that it comes with two batteries right out of the box, saving me the trouble of making a trip to the store for extra power. However, there's one thing I wish was different – the battery life could be longer. That being said, the performance I've experienced with this thermal scope has made it well worth the investment. 🔗InfiRay Mini V2 Thermal Imager: Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Usehttps://preview.redd.it/t7ehr9j8ip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be388ad07acc6f229d02d666c24f53180dc08d91 I recently had the chance to try out the InfiRay Outdoor MINI MH25 V2 thermal imager, and let me tell you, it was quite an experience. The first thing that caught my attention was its sleek, lightweight design, perfect for both handheld and helmet-mounted use. The seamless transition between handheld and helmet-mounted operation was a game-changer for me. One of the most remarkable features of this thermal imager is its next-generation MATRIX III processing, which delivers an unmatched viewing experience. The upgraded AMOLED display, along with the eyepiece and onboard video and audio recording, truly enhanced my overall experience. While the power supply options might seem straightforward, they are essential for the device's functionality. The unique housing material made of aluminum and ABS adds to the durability and overall aesthetic appeal. Although the InfiRay MINI MH25 V2 offers digital magnification up to 8X, it's crucial to note that the optical magnification is only 1X. Additionally, some users might find the manual focus mechanism a bit less convenient. Nonetheless, the device's image capture and onboard recording capabilities along with the user-updatable firmware certainly make up for it. In conclusion, the InfiRay Outdoor MINI MH25 V2 is a versatile thermal imager that offers a range of features to enhance the user experience.

However, the manual focus and slightly higher price point may deter some potential users. 🔗High-Resolution Thermal Rangefinder for Hunting and Wildlife Detectionhttps://preview.redd.it/50hmclz8ip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae948d3e87ff5730d809366913c230bbbfa3d5b9 I've been using the Covert Optics ThermX HS1 Thermal for a while now, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer. I've had some thrilling experiences using this thermal scope. The black Lepton 3.5 micro core sensor with 160x120 sensor resolution and a 9hz frame rate has been remarkable in detecting even the slightest of movements. It's like having an extra pair of eyes when you're out in the woods! This device is perfect for both day and night hunting situations.

I've used it for tracking game and detecting predators, and it has worked wonders for me. I have to say, I'm a fan. However, one thing I didn't like about it is there were some issues with the video sticking every now and then.

It provides clear, accurate, and reliable images, making wild game detection a breeze. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if you encounter some initial issues. 🔗Professional Thermal Imaging Camera for Inspection Applicationshttps://preview.redd.it/s3hr8xd9ip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d44d4ef6e8571fa2561de732ed3743b644209d1a I recently had the opportunity to try the Hikmicro M11W thermal imaging camera with a fixed focus lens. This handheld device was designed for professional inspections of large objects, particularly those where a wider field of view is necessary to capture more of the scene in a single picture. Its 192 x 144 resolution thermal detector and 37.5° x 27.9° fixed focus lens are impressive features that stood out to me. The high-resolution 3.5-inch touchscreen displayed crisp, clear images and made camera operations quite intuitive. I particularly liked the multiple image modes available - thermal, optical, fusion, and picture-in-picture; they allowed me to make accurate temperature measurements and quantify the impact of potential faults. The M11W's sensitivity of 40 mK (NETD), as well as its Super IR resolution, provided a distinct thermal vision of the target. The camera also came with a laser spot, which made it easier to narrow down and focus on specific areas of interest. Overall, I found the Hikmicro M11W to be a reliable and efficient tool for large-object inspections. 🔗Burris BTH35 V2 Thermal Imaging Scope: 3.3-13.2x Magnification and 400x300 Resolutionhttps://preview.redd.it/js2tmvx9ip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=000f27f09034f7766117de06ed51e1fff34460dd I recently had the chance to take the Burris BTH BTH35 V2 Thermal Imaging Handheld out on a hunting trip, and I must say, it was a game-changer. The device's hot track feature allowed me to track animals in their natural habitat with ease, making them more visible in low light conditions. Its 10 reticle options provided me with the flexibility to choose the perfect aiming assistant for my eyes and shooting style. After spending a few hours using this device, I discovered that it held up quite well in varying weather conditions, thanks to its IP67 weatherproof rating. One area where it could improve, however, is the battery life, as 5 hours might be a bit short for extended outings in cold weather. Nevertheless, this thermal imaging handheld device proved to be an excellent companion during my recent hunting trip. 🔗High-Performance Clip-On Thermal Scope for Outdoor Explorationhttps://preview.redd.it/kfay5z7aip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95a86bd62dbc42a57ba90e29ce7b12bf25c35e0c I recently had the chance to try out the InfiRay Rico Micro 384 2x 25mm Multi in my daily life, and let me tell you, it made a huge difference. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight it was, weighing less than a pound. I found it easily fit in my palm, and it gave me the freedom to use it in multiple ways – handheld, helmet mount, and even rifle-mounted. What truly sets this device apart from others is its advanced thermal technology. It's packed with features such as onboard recording, playback, and high definition AMOLED display, all of which are unheard of in helmet-mounted thermals. It also comes with a state-of-the-art 384x288, 12 μm sensor, making it so much more accurate compared to other thermals on the market. However, I did notice that sometimes the manual-focus f/1.0 objective lens could be a bit tricky to handle, but overall, it's a small price to pay for the wealth of features this device offers. And I'm definitely looking forward to using it during hunting season! 🔗Raptor RQ50LN: Advanced 940 NM IR Thermal Imaging Camera for Outdoor Explorationhttps://preview.redd.it/3cjvp6saip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04bdfebec66f2f1c8a0ca8892fe79e25801184e8 I recently got my hands on the HikMicro Raptor RQ50LN 940 nm IR, and let me tell you, it's a game changer when it comes to outdoor activities. Whether you're hunting for game in the nighttime or tracking a hiker on a mountain, this little guy can handle it all. The best part is the adjustable 940 nm infrared lamp. It works day and night, and the thermal imaging is just incredible - it helps you spot even the smallest animals or people from miles away. The lens size of 50mm doesn't hurt, either. However, it's not all roses. The Raptor is a bit bulky, and the battery life could use some tweaking. But when you're in the wilderness, a little bulkiness and need for some battery swaps are worth it for the unmatched performance. Overall, the HikMicro Raptor RQ50LN 940 nm IR has become my go-to for outdoor adventures, and I can't imagine going back to the old ways of hunting and tracking without the added benefits of this powerful thermal imaging camera. 🔗Next-Gen Wi-Fi Rechargeable Thermal Imager with High-Resolution Images and Three Color Paletteshttps://preview.redd.it/b8n1acxaip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3626479e7ed09a879a34cf6e3facc000bb783f4 The Klein Tools TI270 is an impressive rechargeable thermal imager that truly stands out from the crowd.

It's compatible with several devices and comes with a convenient video recorder, a long-lasting battery, and even WiFi functionality. Just imagine, you can connect it to your smartphone or tablet using the free Stream Vision app – now that's a feature I can't get enough of! However, there's a small catch.

It's a digital binocular with a thermal imaging module and an optical module, all powered by a 940 nm infrared lamp. That means it's not just great for daytime viewing, but also brilliant at night. I took it out on a hike, and it made the forest come alive with detail. One thing I especially love is the laser rangefinder on this baby. It can measure distances up to 1000 meters! Talk about precision. And let's not forget about the GPS and compass features that help you figure out where you are and where you're going. But that's not all. This little wonder is housed in a rugged magnesium casing that's both lightweight and durable. It's perfect for long outdoor sessions, and the 3 18650 batteries it comes with are more than enough to power it through. However, nothing's perfect. The Raptor has a 25 Hz refresh rate, which might not be the smoothest in its class. But honestly, in my experience, I haven't notice a significant impact on the overall image quality. All in all, the HikMicro Raptor is a powerful and versatile tool for any outdoor enthusiast. Its multitude of features, coupled with its high-quality durability, makes it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor experiences. 🔗Advanced Clip-On Thermal Scope with High Resolution and IP67 Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/daxdsy2cip1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a54db0a15acc586a9bd1f57c851fd6c0bc2f4869 As a reviewer, I've been using the AGM Rattler TC35-640 in my daily life.

When I first heard about the Muddy Safe-Line 30" Durable Nylon Outdoor Hunting & Tree Stand System, I knew it would revolutionize my outdoor experiences. One day, I ventured into the dense forest, armed with nothing but my rifle and the Muddy Safe-Line System. As I climbed my tree stand, I felt a strong sense of security. This 30-inch long nylon rope, durable enough for its advertised 300-pound weight capacity, stretched before me. The Prusik knots felt reassuringly comfortable as they guided me up the tree. In the low light of the forest, the rope's visibility played a crucial role. However, this wasn't all about safety; it also made my climbing experience seamless. The nylon rope was flexible enough to adjust to my movement, making climbing and descending a fluid affair. Yet, it maintained a solid grip, ensuring I never lost my footing. In essence, the Muddy Safe-Line System is a vital tool for hunters seeking a balance between safety and ease of use. Its unique features ensure it's worth the investment for any hunter. Whether it's your first time climbing a tree stand or you're a seasoned pro, this durable nylon rope system is a game-changer, promising a safer and more enjoyable hunt. 🔗Safe and Easy Tree Stand Gear Rope 25fthttps://preview.redd.it/taa7mgz7gp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15bdb4ba65bdc136f7a2eb14b720fa04ee47d9f3 I recently gave the Realtree EZ Rope a shot, and let me tell you, it made my tree stand experience so much better. With its 25-foot length, hoisting my gear up was a piece of cake, thanks to the easy-to-handle plastic handle. The EZ Rope even came with an extra-sturdy coated carabiner that securely locked onto my tree stand. The nylon braided rope, with its reflective threads, allowed me to locate my stand in the dark with ease. But be careful - if you're not careful, the rope can get tangled up in a mess. All in all, the Realtree EZ Rope was a handy addition to my tree stand setup, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to make their hunting life a bit easier. 🔗Stainless Steel Climbing Tree Stand Replacement Cablehttps://preview.redd.it/qvsljgc8gp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1877b1129943d0474b44445b7743ca1ea7e3bbab Sometimes, you need a reliable replacement cable for your climbing tree stand. That's when the Eder Stainless Steel Cable comes in handy. This durable cable is priced per foot, so you only order the exact length you need. A 3/32" diameter ensures it's sturdy yet lightweight.

The nylon rope stretched to 30 inches, making it perfect for my needs and providing a smooth climbing experience. However, it's not all smooth sailing. One downside I've noticed is that when the weather gets rainy, it can take some time to dry, which can be inconvenient. But overall, this Muddy Safe-Line system has made my hunting excursions much safer and more enjoyable. 🔗Tough, versatile 7/16 climbing rope for arborist and tree workhttps://preview.redd.it/71wp2n29gp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8495a2cadbe0fd8f66549a6fb3438e249bffa3d As an arborist, I've always been on the lookout for a reliable climbing rope that can withstand the harsh elements and resist chemical damage. The 7/16" Arborist-24 Climbing Rope was a game changer for me. It's not your standard rope – it's made specifically for professionals like me, who need to tackle complex tree work. One of the most impressive features of this rope is its 24-strand construction. This doubles the strength, making it a reliable option for heavy-duty tree maintenance. The nylon core is both durable and flexible, ensuring a seamless climbing experience. And I love the double-ply braid design – it gives the rope an added level of toughness. The polyester cover is what really sets this rope apart. Its chemical resistance is top-notch, meaning it'll stand up to all kinds of environmental hazards without a hitch. Plus, it's incredibly smooth to the touch, making it a pleasure to handle. The 7/16" diameter is ideal for my line of work, providing a good balance of strength and control. The rope is also lightweight, which is a big plus when you're spending long hours in the tree canopy. There are a couple of downsides to this rope, though. First, it needs more maintenance than some other ropes – the chemical resistant polyester cover can be a bit more high-maintenance. Also, the factory splicing eyes can be beneficial but they do lower the minimum breaking strength to 5,400 lbs, which might be a concern for some users. All in all, the 7/16" Arborist-24 Climbing Rope is a fantastic choice for arborists and anyone else dealing with demanding tree work. Its toughness, smoothness, and ideal diameter make it a standout product in its category. 🔗Tough Winch Cable for Tree Stand Replacementshttps://preview.redd.it/kkm16ke9gp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b712c79ca95da52534e8250f0004bf72c52deb90 The Badland 3/8 in. x 65 ft. Replacement Winch Cable with Hook is a sturdy and versatile aid for those needing to tackle tough tasks that require a winch. As someone who has personally put this cable to use, I can attest to its reliability and effectiveness. The cable's heavy gauge steel construction and zinc plating make it a formidable force against rust, ensuring durability in even the harshest environments. Its aircraft grade braided wire design gives it the strength to handle some seriously heavy loads without fraying or snapping. I appreciated how the cable comes equipped with a heavy-duty drop forged clevis hook, which makes it easy to attach to various objects needing to be pulled or lifted. The hook's robust build added an extra layer of confidence when tackling challenging jobs. One of the most significant advantages of this product is its versatility. Users have reported using it for a wide range of tasks, from assisting with tree removal and stump pulling to towing large truck trailers out of tricky situations. However, the cable's longer length might prove a bit unwieldy for some users who only require a shorter cable for their tasks. It could be helpful if there were options available in different lengths to cater to various needs. In summary, the Badland 3/8 in. x 65 ft. Replacement Winch Cable with Hook is an excellent tool for those who need a long, heavy-duty winch cable with enough strength to tackle even the most challenging jobs. Despite its occasional limitations, it remains a top choice for those who require a dependable and versatile winch cable. 🔗Versatile 30ft Braided Steel Cable for Secure Lockinghttps://preview.redd.it/95n2cv0agp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b191dc2a60087ded7488ee789cb86768483becc Imagine a cable that's not just flexible, but strong and durable enough to secure your precious gear.

It's the perfect addition to your security arsenal and a must-have for all your outdoor adventures. 🔗No-Burn Treestand Hoist Rope for Tree Stands Up to 25 Feethttps://preview.redd.it/7lag0pkagp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=672e9c9d72b587778b7fe8f84776cf9efce901cb Recently, I had the opportunity to use the 30-06 No Burn Treestand Hoist Rope in my tree stand hunting setup. I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it worked, and the no-burn aspect made it incredibly safe to use. The large carabiner clip made clipping and unclipping the rope simple, while the 4-inch tubing helped protect my fingers as I let the rope down. However, I did notice that the rope wasn't long enough for my 25-foot tree. Overall, this product stood out for its safety features and easy use, but it would be ideal if it came in a longer length too. 🔗30' Safety Line for Hunting Tree Standshttps://preview.redd.it/ljbaukxagp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df5a659c8c036cf3e097bc4e994c40cb251a81ab When I first got my hands on the Summit Treestand SU83102 Safety Line, I could feel the quality in the materials. The 30-foot length allows for plenty of range when ascending and descending the tree. One of the standout features for me was the dual slide-and-grip prusik knots. They made it easy to adjust and move without needing more than one hand, making the entire process smooth and efficient. However, I did notice that the safety line wasn't the most affordable option on the market. It's a bit of an investment, but for those who prioritize safety while hunting, it's well worth the price. With a weight capacity of 300 lbs, it's a reliable and secure choice for anyone looking to climb trees with ease. Overall, I'd recommend the Summit Treestand SU83102 Safety Line to anyone seeking a high-quality, dependable climbing safety line. 🔗Helo Hang On Tree Stand Replacement Cableshttps://preview.redd.it/t751m4kbgp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2c394ceaa6402d3a252cc543b53bfa56aca3eb1 I recall last season when I decided to invest in brand new climbing tree stand replacement cables for my Lone Wolf Alpha, after learning about the importance of safety. This product, Hang On Cables, turned out to be an excellent purchase that I couldn't be happier with. Not only did the cables fit perfectly into the stand, but they also came with all the necessary hardware for installation. The peace of mind that came with this purchase has made a significant difference in my hunting experience. However, I did encounter one minor issue with the knob of the platform leveling assembly on one of my cables. It required some creativity with needle nose pliers to remove the nylon lock nut, but I managed to get it done. But aside from this small hurdle, the customer service and overall quality of the product have been above my expectations. With Hang On Cables in place, I've been able to enjoy a safer and more secure hunt, knowing that I have the right protection to prevent any unwanted incidents. 🔗High-Strength Industrial Accessory Cord for Climbing and Industrial Applicationshttps://preview.redd.it/rqphes1cgp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a26936b9f9a3649cbc5df10cd10f6cd3d793ba0 I've been using this Cypher 300' Accessory Cord for climbing, and I must say, it has made my life so much easier. The vibrant green color not only looks great but also makes it easier for me to spot as I'm scaling the tree. The high-strength nylon construction of this cord is impressive, and it has handled the rigorous demands of my climbing adventures without any issues. However, one thing I noticed was that the spool it comes in can sometimes be a bit tricky to close, but overall, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. 🔗Secure Tree Stand Cable Lock Set for Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/y4s0abmcgp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb14cac41605f9dd25a2d7f2b909590862fd16bf I've been using HME Treestand Cable Locks to secure my hunting gear and tree stands every season. Out of the 3 pack of cable locks bundled together, they all have unique keys that match only the corresponding lock, making it convenient for storage. The 6-feet coiled cable is sturdy and self-contained, simplifying the process of securing around any tree. These cable locks are also suitable for securing other outdoor gear like kayaks, patio furniture, and even duck boats. While these locks provide ample security and ease of use, I did notice some downsides. The keys aren't the same for all locks, which can be a minor inconvenience. Additionally, the cable's durability can be a concern because of potential weather-related rusting. Despite these minor drawbacks, the HME Treestand Cable Locks are a reliable and easy-to-use option for securing your hunting gear. 🔗Outdoor-Ready Tree Stand Security Cablehttps://preview.redd.it/p5mvudxcgp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=337a50d92b02fecd206dae4e93eaa046cf373859 Since I've started using the Muddy Defender Security Cable, I can't help but feel more secure knowing my treestand is locked up tight. The 7' x 5/16" braided steel cable is incredibly versatile, adjusting from 6" to 7', which is perfect for my needs out in the woods. The pick and hook on the cable make it even more reliable, giving me peace of mind that my camera will remain secure. The lock housing components are super resistant and designed to last outdoors, and I appreciate the scratch-resistant coating on the rubber-coated steel cable. I must say though, there have been a few times when I struggled a bit to lock the cable, and I wished it came with an easier-to-use lock. However, overall, I'm quite satisfied with the Muddy Defender Security Cable and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable security solution for their treestand. 🔗Safe Treestand Climbing Cable for Avid Huntershttps://preview.redd.it/e6lsfbbdgp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc85c1dbc2eef9c06341a8abdf6831ec91bb674d I recently had the chance to use the Millennium Safe-Link 35 ft. Safety Line during my tree stand hunting adventure, and I must say it made all the difference. This reliable piece of equipment provided me with that extra level of safety as I made my way up and down my stand. The prussic knot and carabiner ensured a smooth and controlled ascent and descent, giving me peace of mind throughout my hunting experience. One of the standout features for me was its sleek black color, which blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Overall, the Millennium Safe-Link proved to be a reliable and essential addition to my tree stand hunting gear, and I highly recommend it to all fellow hunters seeking a safer and more enjoyable outdoor adventure.

2024.05.21 05:27 TheJelliestFish [PC and possibly also console][2010s] A first-person action game where the protagonist had some sort of sentient parasite that gave him an extra set of arms, he was forced to watch the death of a loved one as she whispered "This isn't your fault" before he took his own life
Platform(s): PC I think, and could have been originally on console
Genre: Action, maybe survival horror, had some platformer elements, possibly hack-n-slash?
Estimated year of release: Around 2010s, definitely no later than 2018
Graphics/art style: PS3-style, first-person, 3D. The color pallete had some red and warm-toned colors, and a gritty, dark feel. I think many of the environments were indoors.
Notable characters: The parasite that lived symbiotically with the protagonist would speak to him in a deep voice, definitely was somewhat deceptive towards him, and gave him a set of reddish adaptable arms that had eyes protruding out of them at the ends. The protagonist wasn't visible, but I think his name was pretty short. I think the female loved one of the protagonist was white with long brown hair in a ponytail.
Notable gameplay mechanics: I think there was a form of platforming involved, possibly using the adaptable parasite-arms as a grappling hook. The adaptable nature of the arms leads me to believe there was some sort of combat involved.
Other details: This game was one I saw clips of in the 2010s, the one story event I remember is the one I described in the title: The protagonist was trying to get to a woman he loved as she was threatened by a man on the other side of a glass window, but the sentient parasite took control of the arms and used them to hold the protagonist back. He had to watch as a man shoved his loved one against the window, and she whispered, "(protag's name), this isn't your fault" before the man killed her (I think with a gun). Seeing this was so harrowing that it drove the protagonist to suicide, and I think the game had some scenes of his afterlife.
I've been told the parasite-arm thing sounds a lot like the game Prototype, but I'm 99.5% sure that's not it given the images of Prototype I've seen online. I remember seeing it in one of those "Top 10" Watchmojo-style Youtube videos, and that it was noted as a rare example of a video game where you see the protagonist's suicide.

2024.05.20 22:37 EbilsBrother [TOMT][animation/animation channel][2016-24] animation channel my friend told me about
I was showing my friend a song called “Wonder Why?” By Rapider Than Horsepower, in which after a violin drone which lasts around 10 minutes there’s a hidden track in which it is the members of the band talking to each othethe audio recorder. Near the beginning of this one of the members puts a fire alarm up to the recorder and says it “fucking sucks”. My friend recognized this from an animation channel which used it for one of their animations. We couldn’t find it, but here are some things he remembered about the YouTube channel;
-the style had a lot of thick and angular line art
-used a lot of greens and blues, generally bright colors
-same animator made an animation set to “Frizzle Fry” by Primus
Audio clips he said were in the animation:
“You know what it sounds like when there’s a fire? Check it- It fucking sucks, dude. It’s like I wake up and instead of being like, ‘shit, there’s a fire’ I’m like, ‘shut up, that sucks!’”
“Your girlfriend likes Ghostbusters and that’s hot to me. Really hot”.

2024.05.20 22:32 ImTryingDad The Joe Rogan Podcast is basically Coast to Coast AM but for some reason the majority believes the content.
No disrespect to Art Bell and George Noory. I used to love Coast to Coast AM. For those unfamiliar, he would have special guests on that would talk about aliens, different dimensions, psychics Etc. That sort of thing. But you sort of knew it was all silly, and it was all good fun.
But it seems to me that the Joe Rogan podcast is kind of like that show in some regards, (I've never actually listened to it, but I've heard 1000 clips) but for some reason when it's on JR, the general public laps it all up and takes it as gospel truth.
Thoughts?
