Old Man Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I’ve always been partial to arming my orbital weapons platforms with “Rods from God”. They have an ironic, low tech appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I disagree. Dr. Who is arguably the only show on which it makes perfect sense to keep going back and forth. Mind, I haven't watched Dr. Who since the Peter Davison era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 That is the problem it is not old Dr Who, it is the 2005 and up stuff. First showrunner had Gallifrey destroyed including a story where it would have replaced earth when David Tennant was the Doctor. Next showrunner brings it back with John Hurt becoming the incarnation that the others do not acknowledge and all of the Drs save Gallifrey from the Daleks. They put it in a pocket dimension of its own. Now the new showrunner has had it destroyed by the Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I admit I have never watched Dr Who. I have a reason for that. It doesn't have anything to do with the show itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you just gotta have axe throwing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 As it happens I got to do some axe throwing as part of a team building exercise two weeks ago. The trick is to figure out the right distance to throw from so the axe hits edge first, and to keep the axe as vertical as possible so it will stick between the grain of the wood. After that it’s a matter of keeping a consistent throw, like golf. Try not to think of it as being locked in a cage with coworkers, axes, and beer.
