This is probably a good time to hit @Mercerabout or check the Jekyll Island group for threads on the subject. Thor or get I. Touch with my son, who knows more than I do at this point.

LOLOL! I know he’s young, but under 20? Looks like he’s been by recently but haven’t see any posts. Is he still active?

Thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate it. Ha! I never thought to add contact information for anyone interested, but yeah for anyone looking for details on services or questions… Email info@12ozcollective dot com. You should get a response in no more than 1 work day (usually sooner). If not, message me. But yeah, we do stickers for anyone interested. 100 piece minimum.

Are you aware of the 12ozProphet Beta App? Hopefully that'll help you swing through more regularly.

Bumping my own topic with this fun little video we did for a new writer series sticker pack project. Just posted in the screenprinting facility thread, but you guys are the first to know. 12ozProphet_Stickers.mov

Sharing with you guys first... Gusto for 12ozProphet Sticker Packs soon. Birth of a fun new series... 12ozProphet_Stickers.mov

Feel like merging this into a new thread on inflation. Curious what people are paying for a gallon of milk (regular and organic), a dozen eggs (standard and free range) as well as local prices per pound for NY Strip and Ribeye?

Banana republic has been slow in the making, but has certainly accelerated with each election cycle. Wondering which will be the first state to just opt out and do their own thing. Seems like it would be Texas, but I think California and Colorado could also be contenders. But yeah, the clown show in politics as a whole wasn’t quite as overt 20+ years ago.

Haven’t see her I quite a while. Actually I think she got turned off by discussions back around the 2016 elections I believe. Hopefully, this place is a little more dialed since those days and the rough patch we had about two years ago so maybe someone can reach out and have @%$#@! drop back by. Good to see you pass through again @DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Hope you stick around and jump back in.

seeking is on Instagram. He alternates between posting shit about beavers or the suffering in Gaza. He dropped by not too long ago. Talking to him, he thinks we ran out of stuff to talk about on the forum, but hopefully he comes by again and sees we’ll never run out of stuff to shit post, LOL or argue about. cc: @seeking

suggest you move your light to 3 or 9 o’clock so it won’t interfere if you’re ever in a situation where you have to rest your hold. Happens more often than you’d guess. Also, rub some lube over the lens. You’re going to get a ton of crap on it since it’s right there in your muzzle blast. Couple mags worth and it’ll be close to worthless as far as light goes, but if you have lube you can quickly wipe the grime off. Without lube you’ll probably have to use a tool to scrape it clean. Not a 100% sure off your photo but looks like your optic is bridging the gap between your receiver and rail. If so, back everything up because it should always set just to the edge of the receiver or it’ll lose zero far quicker. Optics never ride on your rail since it’s free floated and not nearly as ridged a placement as mounting to the receiver. Rear iron definitely looks like it should be a little further back. Pretty great setup otherwise. Running something very similar on one of my AR’s. Gets heavy though with the magnifier but figured you could quick release it off if needed.

Three hours brushing out horses to help them shed their winter coats and detangle manes and tails after a windy winter and here’s the first thing they do… IMG_3639.mov

Not sure if they’re still called pets when they weight over 1000 pounds but here’s Nova and Lulu.

Ah, already moved into the news section LOL Still interested in hearing from everyone, pro, con or just passive observer.

If this gets contentious, we’ll move to the news section but still an important topic IMO. How many are a little more interested or have evolved their point of view since this topic was made through until today? These last few years have been pretty crazy in terms of how the theme of this topic has unfolded. In most places at least.

Bumping this after a recent post for @One Man Banned and to lure @6Pennies back on.

Reminds me of @6Pennies . Dude, where you at?! Pop through …

Okay, I have a good one… Not sure what image I can use, but how about “micro transactions”. Especially subscription based micro transactions. Seems like it began with apps and now car companies are exploring micro transaction subscriptions to unlock features like seat warmers or additional speed in vehicles. It’s obvious that if people go along with this, you’ll see home appliances adopt this next in terms of feature sets. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/features/bmw-features-subscription https://www.foxnews.com/tech/automakers-bmw-gm-mercedes-charge-monthly-fees-faster-speeds-heated-seats Example, most laser / ink jet printers are relatively the same across models, in terms of guts. They actually use software to hold back features and performance in lesser models because it’s cheaper to R&D and manufacture one basic chip / feature set and then throttle it back. Can’t find a link quickly but read a bunch about this a few years back. Anyhow, the dawn of crypto going mainstream and allowing for ultra low transaction fees and fractionalizing out to far more decimal points than dollars (x.xx) will absolutely lead us into an era where virtually everything will be based upon micro transaction and incremental subscription models. Similar is how in South Florida (at least) charges tolls based upon traffic levels. Peak hours are charged at a premium and off hours are substantially cheaper. As a public road, I’m very much against this and though I ultimately am a believer in free market capitalism, this feels a bit dystopian in that it really separates the “haves” from the “have nots” in an entirely new way. I can visualize how tools will be more specificity tailored in the future. Guaranteed it’ll be adjusted for vehicle type and cost, mileage driven, passengers and probably nuanced to the point that cost won’t be premium only for time of day, but might get into what areas you’re driving in. A nicer road in a better part of town will naturally demand a premium compared to driving through the hood. Guaranteed of the path we’re on is allows to continue that we’ll see peoples behaviors more directly controlled and engineered in the real world as we see further development of micro transactions and subscription models invade every aspect of daily like. Already happening professionally (Pantone charging its own fee to use it within Adobe, which is already a “software as service subscription suite”). We’re seeing the beginnings of it now being woven into personal life.

I’m one of the assholes that lost a bunch of monero. When I first moved ti Montana about 8 years ago, I had a video based desktop mining monero through a GUI based labor pool 24-7 for about a year and a half. Then got side tracked a bit. When I returned to it, the app was dead and the company that made it was gone. Like an asshole, I never shifted any off into my own custody. To this day, I have no idea how much I had, but this was a time when mining ETH was even doable since it was something like $30 from what I remember. I chose Monero based on some discussion on The Survival Podcast and because mining it versus ETH was more fun with the numbers going up faster. I still have the hard drive saved but launching the app just errors out and multiple google searches informed me that the developers disappeared and lots of people got fucked.

N ver connected it until those last posts but yeah, I imagine Silk Road saw a lot of transactions paid in BTC that must represent billions of dollars today. Wild!

Ha! All good, appreciate your participation none the less. Give it another go.

Time to work up an exit plan my dude.

True but not quite every day life, common stuff. Here’s something that was everyday shit 20 years ago but no longer exists. In fact, if I handed my kids a VHS tape, I’m not sure they’d know what it was.

Maybe this will be fun or maybe it’ll just be depressing. Either way, pretty sure this is a new theme for a topic. Impressive considering we’ve been discussing, debating and shit posting on here since 1999. I’ve said more than a few times that the world feels more and more out of control and surreal these days. Maybe it’s because of how the pace of change seems to be accelerating at an exponential rate. Generally we call this progress, but is it really? Here’s a list of very prominent bits of everyday life that did not exist 20 years ago. What else didn’t exist 20 years ago? What existed as a part of everyday life 20 years ago, but does not exist today? Is it progress? Post photos and discuss…
