Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Internet Influencers ????

« on: Today at 09:33:09 PM »

There's something about the internet. If it's on it, then it must be true. NOT

There is a lot of information available and given that there are some people who really do represent that information and making it available to others.

Then there's those internet influencers who merely entertain and regurgitate the information in a misrepresented way. What is up with all these people online doing youtube unboxing of fishing equipment and then giving their in depth review. People talking about Diawa and Shimano and don't even know the real difference when it comes down to it. Yes there will always be a fanboy of a certain manufacture, but do they really know what they're talking about or just throwing words written down somewhere by someone else.

People can't even get their parts descriptions correct like, rotor, pinion gear, level wind, ARB, etc.,...now they just throwing words out there in their vids.

I guess I get bored sometimes...

Television / Three Body - Three Body Problem - (animation version too)

Three Body

Three Body Problem

Three Body Problem animation version

What a weird series. Scientist committing suicide because science is broken. Could we say that science is just another derivative of religion? Something like that. I'm all confused and it don't make any sense. Well partially because there's a problem with the subtitle translation. Partially is that one probably needs to be a total science geek to understand what half of what they're talking about.

Still gonna watch it and see where it goes...

Dang I wish we had a rant topic thread. Not for discussion but for ranting about stupid things about life.

Anime | Manga / Ranking of Kings

Ranking of Kings

The anime is low quality, however it is full of powerful emotional motifs. More of a developing drama in the make than most. The first episode is only so so, but one can get the feel of the developing plot. The second episode provides more substance and it where it really gives purpose to this story.

Anime | Manga / Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

« on: July 05, 2022, 09:00:19 AM »

Whoah this one is pretty good. At first I thought it might be a predictable side story regurgitation, but it is definitely for mature viewers. Anime quality is only average but the twist a plot is definitely a thriller theme. One thing about this anime is that the ending of each episode does not leave you hanging. It does come to a good conclusion and also leaves you looking forward to what the next episode will introduce.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Fishing Reports

« on: April 14, 2022, 09:03:11 AM »

Went down to the St. Croix today. It's windy, snowing and cloudy. Temps was freezing with the wind too about 28F degrees.

Well the water level is up and a lot of floating debris from the flooded shoreline. Of course all the trees and downed timber made it impossible to cast worth anything. All the floating debris also meant that every cast you're hooked over something floating. Mostly dead shoreline grass and other dead vegetation. So nothing biting.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Ice fishing is Nice wishing

« on: September 05, 2021, 12:39:30 AM »

Ah all summer long, all I think was ice fishing. That simple minded idea of pulling up a fish at your feet through a hole in the ice. It's just so satisfying.

Although it does take some work to find fish. Sometimes it's just luck, drill a hole in the ice and boom fish are biting. Sometimes it's no luck, and it's just wasting time out there.

So it helps to get a few gears together to enjoy the time and peace of the tranquility of snowfall on the shelter roof, bare the freezing windy conditions, and just sit in that camping chair and doze off. Let's see what this next season will bring us. What's the latest gear? What's the latest gossip?

And always, the best'est secret'est fishing lure or techniques. The big fish stories, whether they be true or full of embellishment. Or the tried and true methods of old will always produce.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / New fishing reel

« on: August 25, 2021, 04:18:48 PM »

Gosh I tell myself I have no need for it. However with just a few mouse clicks, I went a ordered a new reel. D'uh D'oh D'ang. I guess all that time not fishing, means I'll just spin the reel at home for no apparent reason. Just to have it. Shimano shenanigans. Twin power wins.

And to date, since my Curado BFS reel finally got delivered about a month ago, I still haven't even put line on that reel.
