Yeah, the funny (for lack of a better word) thing is. Sean has traveled ALL over the world. He spent months in the worst parts of Africa. Spent the last 5 years in NYC and just moved to SF last month to what is seamingly a "safer" city. Obviously there are whacko's everywhere and this could happen anywhere. It's just kind of odd. It is nice to know that people give a shit and saved him. I wish I could shake their hands and buy them a beer.

and yet people act like I'm crazy for carrying everywhere.

See as soon as you say its from the ceo it makes me wonder if its bs or not...

if its real, looks like im spending some good money soon.

It's really not that impressive. Any power saw that can cut through wood can cut through aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, PVC, tomatoes, etc.. The rebarb and other steel items is the only thing that sets it apart, and any saw can do that w/ the right blade. I would venture a guess that after cutting just a few pieces of rebar, it would be D-D-D-D-DULL.

I'm still on the fence about it, what do you have in mind?

You're probably not up to it but I figured I'd mention it..

I'd be willing to part with my setup. Either the whole thing or just take parts like the glass and use your own gear.

Stuff available would include the kicks w/ comps and the 5.1 system, but not the 7" subs or the flipout, though I don't want any

of the other processors/brains.

Yeah, that's a bit much for what I'm looking for. If I would go with something it would be some type of Mono amp to coincide with the chosen subwoofer's resistance ratings. Keep it simple, ya know? :lol:

I'm sure your setup is second to none though, I've seen it mentioned many times on here.

+1 I cut through my outer tierod with a HF recip saw and a wood blade :lol:

There's not much to a recip saw really just compare stroke length rpms and amp ratings of the motor if you can.

Minor PSA : The gray arrow in the top left corner of a quote box is a link that will bring you directly to the thread/original post.

I thought it was kinda intuitive but the topic came up recently in a less-viewed thread and I realized maybe a lot of people don't notice it.

Most of the regulars around here probably gonna roll their eyes and call me captain obvious :lol:

In other news, you all know I love diet beverages, and caffeine. Usually, they go hand in hand, but quite a bit of non-cola flavors don't have any caffeine. Yesterday I drank two rockstars, and then an entire 2L of Diet Sunkist. I brought the sunkist to work figuring it wouldn't have any caffeine so I wouldn't be bouncing off the walls all pissed off. Well, I was. And this morning I saw the label... 27mg/8oz. Who knew? -shrug- How bout another PSA? While it is not included on the FDA nutrition facts label, many soda companies have been including the quantity per 8oz or 12oz at the end of the ingredients list. A sip of a caffeinated soda won't do shit for you. But a whole 2L at 27mg/serving totals out to ~228mg. Roughly the same amount found in a 16oz energy drink.

lol... about 350 cans of Mt Dew Code Red.... Not sure I could make it past 15.

How was the movie? I didn't like the 1st one but really enjoyed the 2nd...

it was enjoyable... a few really great lines (laugh.gif), a new chick, and lots of destruction...

I can't help with comparison -- I don't remember much of the other 2... but if you liked #2 because it was less back story more fighting, you might like this one better?

I bet that's just a basic calculator using scaled LD50. The number is probably even higher due to the quanitites of liquid you'd have to consume in such a short period of time.
