One of the (few) downsides of being a member of the Armed Intelligencia is that you tend to see through so many of Hollywood’s tricks and tropes. Once you begin your ride as a certified gun nut, you … Read More

One of our favorite artists, Scott Park, illustrated the spaceships and vehicles in the original Star Wars trilogy to scale and it’s just so good. You get to see how a Stomtrooper compares in size to a Tauntaun to an X-34 Landspeeder to a TIE Fighter to the Millennium Falcon to the Death Star and everything else in between. We put the wonderful illustrations together in a nice little lineup for you guys to see.
You can buy Park’s full poster here. You can also snag versions of the poster specifically for Episode IV, Episode V, and Episode VI.

Knots may seem like an old-fashioned skill to learn, but they can actually be really helpful in a lot of situations. This video will teach you how to tie the constrictor knot, which is essentially the primitive version of the zip tie.
This quick lesson from the ITS Tactical YouTube channel explains how to tie the hard-binding constrictor knot. You can use this knot to close and secure bags, tie something to a pole or branch, bundle objects (like sticks, poles, etc.) together, and it’s even used as a ligature in surgery. The knot has a very strong bite (it tightens down hard) and is very difficult to untie, but just like a zip tie, it’s also very secure. The harder your rope or string gets pulled, the tighter the knot gets. Plus, it’s easy to learn and you can tie it in a matter of seconds. If you want to untie your knot anytime soon, however, you’re better off using the slipped variation (also demonstrated in the video).

I’m willing to bet that the scenario in this new clip from Batman v Superman—with the bondage, the unmasking, the bunker, and all of it, is some kind of cunning Bat-trap. Right? I guess we’ll find out in a couple days. This clip just aired as part of Gotham, but we’ll get a whole new trailer on Wednesday evening.

It’s rather simple if you have the first move. Put your mark in one corner and depending on your opponent’s next move, put your mark on another corner and you’ll be perfectly set up for a win.
So for example, if you put your first mark on the bottom left hand corner and they put their mark in the bottom right hand corner, you should respond with a mark on the top left hand corner which sets up an easy win because they’ll have to block your win, which leaves you room to put a mark on the top right hand corner (or middle), giving you two ways to win. Basically, own the corners. DaveHax explains better in the video below.

You’ve just run a query in MySQL and it tells you "Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)" but not what the warning is, so how do you know what the warning was for the query that was just run?

Primitive Technology makes a sling from bark fiber and then learns how to shoot with it. It’s one of the simplest ranged weapons you can make, but it’s very hard to master and is noisy too. For April Fools’ he should show us how he shoots and edits videos.
