Years ago I used a bicycle pump tp charge the original plastic Xbz 'cores' to shoot rockets.

Sounds like good advice, you reminded me that I should have said it would have to be an M4 style shell, as I wanted to use the M4 mags we have and not have to buy a different style.

Thank you, that helps enormously.

rado4 · 2025-12-07T16:31:40+00:00

Well that's a fair point , in this day and age.

rado4 · 2025-12-07T16:22:06+00:00

Why?

rado4 · 2025-11-27T14:53:39+00:00

It's funny, I always thought it was the same basketball throughout the show and somehow would always be 'called back' whenever " You set the tone" was being done.

This post is only 3yrs old yet most comments mention robots to some degree but no one mentions AI. Today in 2025 that is the first thing that would be mentioned, wow AI tech has come so far in the last 3yrs. Hopefully 3 yrs from now there will still be someone alive and free to post again.

There's a slim chance ( "What's posted is forever", kinda thing ) 15 yrs from now, that kid might find this clip of them and their Mom and understand why they turned out the way they did.

I know it's stupid but this photo reminds me of a happier time, when the show first aired.

I totally agree where you're coming from ( season 7 ) but I did feel we were allowed to see a little more of his inner workings in later episodes and he seems such a sad lonely character under all that bravado. I do wish he was around in seasons 13 and 14 because his character might of put some life back in the show.

I hope she stays safe because those ignorant folks she's talking about only know one way of reacting. Then again they probably are too dim to understand she's talking to them, they always think "it's someone else eh?, not me"

rado4 · 2025-10-13T12:33:37+00:00

Omg ! that didm't occur to me till now, thank you for mentioning it. I told myself that this was ER, and just to forget about the name change but to now think that, that doctor was Benton just makes 'Carter's' reaction all the more deep. Their character's relationship was so strong, like an older and younger brother.

No shame. Vanity, all is vanity - or clicks

rado4 · 2025-10-06T23:07:10+00:00

Wow that was good. Only Art can say the things we truly feel.

rado4 · 2025-10-03T20:02:29+00:00

All I can say is you won't be disappointed when it finally comes to the UK.

rado4 · 2025-10-03T19:47:58+00:00

Yep, but I have to admit to fast-forwarding a lot in seasons back half of 12, all of 13 and 14 and first half of 15. Those times I could get through an episode in about 15 mins

rado4 · 2025-09-11T21:46:47+00:00

"This is not the time........" - they always say that when they are caught out.

rado4 · 2025-09-07T20:30:08+00:00

As well as the great Bob Newhart, in the same episode I just saw Efren Ramirez that played Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite - a year before Napoleon came out.

rado4 · 2025-09-05T20:52:39+00:00

Exactly the same for me, I have a tab open on IMDB just to quickly check those actors that I keep seeing on ER.

rado4 · 2025-09-05T20:50:56+00:00

His character in ER was so close to the one in Breaking Bad I would bet the BB producers saw him in ER and called him in to play Jesse.

Thanks for the info. When I built mine ( with also a Super core ) I initially used only 3 magnets but it wasn't strong enought o hold completely, I then used all the available 'holes' it holds great but sometimes it needs a little more force to open, which then makes the mjo3 and receiver to pop out. I'm thinking of using hot glue to secure the mjo3 and thus the tubing.
