So, is Ti hardware, stonewashed then PVD DLC coated really that much different than the standard stainless black oxide coated hardware?

Here is a really low light pic comparing the two.

My personal opinion, yes.
Total blackout. Love it!

What's the game there?

I always liked having a retriever in the mix on upland game birds. Maybe the best dog work I ever got to enjoy was a day on Chukar and Quail down on the Snake River. My buddy's Brittany pointed probably 19 of the 20 birds (we limited out) that day, and my Golden retrieved every bird that day. It was one of those magical days that you could go back to for the rest of your life. Somehow having the two dogs that day just clicked.

Bird hunting with dogs is the best.

When paper went 200:1 I started selling mine, at 300:1 I lost interest and haven’t looked since. So detached from reality it’s mind boggling.

If a kilogram is 1000 grams, why isn't a metric ton a "mega"gram?

Because it’s 157.47 stones, duh.

This intrigued me. I researched it. Calling a tonne a tonne is actually an accepted non-SI unit. The actual SI unit is a megagram - Mg.

1Mg = 1000kg = 1 tonne

SI -> International System of Units

As big as Godzilla is, why is it they never seem to hit him with artillery? They only seem to hit the ground around him. And people say the A-team can't hit anything

Forced perspective.

He's so huge, they think he's actually way closer so they misjudge their aim/trajectory

Whenever I buy beer at the grocery store they always say "Oh are you having a party?" I don't like it... I feel like they're judging me...

I've seen your pics when in your youth. You were a baby-face back then. If I was the checkout clerk, I'd ID your arse too just to fudge with you.

Early on during the quarantine I took a trip to the liquor store to stock up. Used a cart and even needed to use the little area underneath and where a toddler would've sat. Checkout lady rang me up without inquiry or funny looks. I suppose that's Wisconsin for you but it did make me wonder what it'd take for her to ask wtf I'm doing with all of it.

You were probably the 57th customer of the day, doing that.

When things started running out at our local stores like TP and meat. Is it bad that all I could think about is getting enough beer to make it through.

I’ve noticed lately around our county that the selection of beer is not that great.
