There's three levels, marksman, sharp shooter, and expert...

Hollywood puts too much emphasis on marksman.  which is the lowest level.  that even I can qualify easy.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Internet Influencers ????

« on: May 02, 2024, 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...

Sometimes it's best to bring nothing to the table, but pull up a chair only. 

People are judgmental and have many biases.  They all want to measure you up to something that only relates to their own base measurements. 

So few are actually open minded and likewise be willing to build something from nothing.

Cautions of life...

If there is no future, then just live for the moment. = adaptability

If only living for the moment, then there is really no future. = spontaneous

****

I use to think that people who describe themselves as spontaneous was a good trait.  Only to learn through experience repeatedly that it is really a terrible trait to have.

America is creating a backward society all over again.  The more freedom you have, the more enslaved you become is how they have brainwashed the mass.

Few are able to escape this, but many of us are entrapped by it.  Sometimes if not most times, we sabotage ourselves...he ck we are free to do so.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Re: New fishing reel

« on: April 18, 2024, 05:23:19 PM »

For 2024 the Shimano Twin Power freshwater spinning reel is getting a new generation. 

The specs on the newer one is doing away with the titanium nitride spool lip.  Gosh, so pretty much no more Shimano spinning reels will be using a titanium nitride spool lip anymore.  Well until the new one actually comes out.  Let's see what it will be.

As far as I know the clearance Twin Power sure went fast at the Shackle Warehouse.

So the new 2024 will have size from 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000.  Gone is the 1000 size in us market and the 2000 size in Japanese market.  So the most tank 1000 size reel is gone.  The 1000 size will fall down to the Stradic or Vanford.  So that's how they will control sales on those models.

The new reel body is a combination of both aluminum and Ci4+ reel body design.  Seems like a lot of the newer reels are going this way with a combination of material.  Newer machining tolerance and a few minor technology design changes.

...month later...finger is pretty much healed up.  Some scaring and still thin skin where the wound is at.  Healed enough that bandage is not required for the wound, but maybe just as a buffer protection.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Re: A new way to fish for those fishing lovers

« on: April 17, 2024, 06:25:26 AM »

Wait till these guys learn how to fish with a drink can with line around it, then just thread through a few metal eyes on a stick.  When you learn to wrap line around the drink/soup can with a stick, it seems so caveman genius.
