I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • Scully believed in the high level idea of the X-Files since nearly the very beginning. That’s why she stayed loyal to Mulder. Scully often doesn’t believe in specific theories pushed by Mulder in individual episodes, and she is often correct that his initial theory is wrong. Without Scully’s skepticism and stress testing of Mulder’s theories, many investigations would go down completely wrong paths.






  • 550 cord is great, and people should have some in their vehicle, or a pack while traveling.

    The cords on stuff like the wallet bother me though because even with the space reducing knot, it’s a comically small amount of cord that’s almost purely a fashion statement. A significant amount of 550 cord on a roll, spindle, or just in a ziplock bag is far more practical.

    I’ve known some outdoorsy people who’ve made their own 550 bracelets, but when it comes to storebought ones it’s pretty much 100% people that never go in the woods wearing them in my experience.


























  • Myth: “The Polish military committed suicidal cavalry charges against German tanks in WW2.”

    The myth was originally spread by Germany as propaganda to emphasize how Germany was technologically superior. The myth has largely stayed alive because it has become romanticized into a heroic act.

    The truth is that Polish cavalry charged German infantry, successfully taking ground against them. German tanks counter-attacked and Polish cavalry sensibly retreated but some were killed. Images of the aftermath were used to start the myth.
