I hit the local thrift shop and once again successfully benefited from someone else (apparently) abandoning their cold weather outdoor activities. Lots of like-new hiking attire for pennies on the dollar. Too bad none of the pants were in my size...

Maybe it's part of that "limited series" aspect of the show, where they know they aren't going to be having side characters reappear three or four seasons from now, so just kill `em off right away. One of my coworkers has a college-age kid who claims that they're staying true to the video...

They are rushing the character development waaaaay too much. Episode 6 was interesting but basically took what I assumed was a major plot point and time-jumped to/from it awfully quick. Maybe this is what you get with a show based on a video game these days? Episode 7 was mostly a...

Last episode was vastly improved, but considering that there are nine episodes in the first season and likely only to be content for a second season if they draw from the game's sequel, they sure seem to be burning through supporting characters in a hurry. The current formula of "limited...

What flavor of ammo? One of the guys at my sportsmen's club just finished setting up an AR-10 and was asking my opinion, but I'm just a lowly peasant shooting 5.56 that I bought when prices were much cheaper.

Nuka-Cola Quantum gave me flashbacks of Pepsi Clear!

Has anybody used these, either the one in the link or something similar? Aside from the usual bandages, gauze and tape, the only thing for wound closure that I have (besides Band-Aids) is some butterfly closures. Do these skin staplers work as easy as the roughly translated marketing...

My sweet parka score turned sour. The seller either flaked or possibly dropped dead, so I had to cancel and get a refund. This was after I had to perform emergency zipper surgery on the current one using my Leatherman (successful) and check our rented storage locker to confirm that I have a...

Yup, complete with China as the military rival, raiders taking control of various population centers and travel routes, and commerce conducted with comically worthless currency. Of course, zombies and mutants are part of the fun as well, but what makes it more crazy is that it's viewed through...

I was thinking of when Rick first rides into Atlanta, but I get what you mean. Also, it reminded me of playing Fallout 4, so that's a positive.

Watch TLOU #4 this morning, and thank God, it was back to being what I signed on for. Had some TWD Season 1 vibes, which is a good thing.

I need to watch that. I keep hearing good things, but never got around to it.

I think I'm going to just have to scrub my eyes with bleach after this last episode and stick with it a bit longer, because I'm finding that IDGAF about any other shows out there right now, and sometimes I need a break from the Interwebz. To at least some extent, this is giving me The Road...

As much as I can. The first one I bought came from the Sportsman's Guide outlet storemany years ago, marked (incorrectly) as military surplus, but actually Akademiks brand. Made in China, unfortunately, and I suspect mine was returned because of a stitching flaw in the sleeve lining, but this...

After years of fruitless searching, I found someone selling a "like new" parka the same as the one I've been wearing for a decade or so of Minnesota winters. The current one keeps on keepin' on with minimal TLC, but it's good to know I have its replacement on the way.

Without reading any spoilers, I had a hunch where the third episode was headed. Gotta make the survivalist into a closeted homosexual because of course he is. Given the time jump, he could just as easily have gone full Silence of the Lambs and been serving up trespassers medium rare, but no...

Sounds like what I've been doing (or trying to do) around here. We sort of hit our stride in terms of rotating through food preps without ever hurting our supply. It was an odd experience because our youngest was only two years old when the pandemic started, and we were still figuring out what...

Do you leave most of your cooking and food prep stuff there, or pack it in/out with you? My paranoid side tells me someone would steal everything, but my practical side tells me I wouldn't want to deal with the weight every time I came and went.

Being that this is the last season coming up, maybe Morgan survives and can team back up with Rick! I have contemplated going back and watching Season One. I think it was my favorite.

I click the link, the product page comes up for a moment, and then redirects with an error. Manually searching for it on the Costco site comes up with no matches. Must be permanently out of stock. Did you have to buy ALL of it? :D Meanwhile, our ancient water heater has been replaced, so...
