![]() There’s much said, unsubstantiated, about “over-penetration” of higher-velocity bullets. I agree, but not for some reasons commonly given. Just a bit about the whole “defensive ‘rifle’ debate:” some say something like 5.56 is not a good choice for home defense. (Clearly, supersonic Blackout beats it soundly.) 45 ACP is a reliable choice for a defensive round, subsonic Blackout beats it. ![]() 45 ACP handgun loading, if we’re going on (the admittedly incomplete) calculated energy figures. 300 Blackout subsonic loads are a little more powerful than a routine. Most subsonic blackout ammo uses a bullet in the 200-grain range, and, of course. That’s another debate for others to work through in other articles, but it’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Plus, I’m a believer in “bigger is better” respecting impact effectiveness of a bullet. ![]() 300 Blackout is plenty powerful, in my estimation, and with radically better “shootability” than a higher-pressure carbine loading. Subsonic Blackout has a radically milder blast and report than 5.56 or supersonic Blackout. Now, there are some very effective flash suppressors out there, but they don’t take a bit off the noise. In the dark, maybe just up out of bed, and then there’s a blinding fireball and an ear-splitting report, and it’s difficult to recover situational awareness, especially at my age, and even with my rail-mounted light. Civil? I don’t know how many have fired a 5.56 AR-15 carbine inside a room, but it’s sensory overload.

![]() Finally, the pad’s sealed seams are free from defects and irregularities, and the valves still look and function like new with no leaking.Īt 9 pounds 14.7 ounces and 27.6 x 11.8 inches when packed, the MegaMat Duo is unapologetically huge. Similarly, the 75D polyester bottom is confidence-inspiring even on rocky terrain (although it's always best to use the pad inside a tent or on top of a less abrasive surface). In fact, it’s no worse for wear after fending off my 50-pound Labrador's sharp nails. ![]() Priced at $380 for the Long Wide Double version, the Exped MegaMat is undeniably expensive but has been built to last. The pad’s top is made with 50-denier (D) polyester which is soft to the touch yet reasonably tough. ![]() Having tested the standard MegaMat Duo 10 down into the mid 30s Fahrenheit, I can confidently say that it’s a great companion for all seasons. One of the few models with a higher R-value is Exped's own MegaMat Max 15 at 10.6. Double (R-value 6.5) and REI’s Camp Dreamer Double (6.6). It easily beats competitors like the Sea to Summit Comfort Deluxe S.I. In this case, the MegaMat Duo has an R-value of 8.1, which is at the very high end of the spectrum. To preface, a mattress’ ability to insulate you from the ground is measured in R-value, and a higher number indicates more warmth and better protection. Packing high-end, open-cell foam, the MegaMat Duo is about as warm as it gets for a self-inflating mat. Put simply, the MegaMat Duo unquestionably is a luxurious place to be. My only complaint is that it was easy to feel her roll over and move during the night, but that problem is still far worse on a standard air mattress. The generous 52-inch width and vertical side walls proved to be more than enough for my wife and me to sleep without encroaching on each other’s space. The Exped MegaMat Duo was similarly comfortable with two campers involved. And perhaps most telling: I even opted to sleep on the Exped over my couch when guests came to town, since it’s larger and delivers a better night's sleep. I’ve spent a lot of nights on REI Co-op’s popular Camp Bed (including the old 3.5-inch-thick model), and the Exped handily outperformed it in the comfort department. I never once felt rocks or roots beneath me while sleeping, and my pillow didn’t slide off the end in the middle of the night-a common occurrence with shorter mattresses. The 3.9-inch-thick pad nicely balanced softness and support, provided ample space between my body and the ground, and the 77.6-inch length was more than sufficient for my 5’9” frame. To see how it stacks up to the competition, see our article on the best camping mattresses.Ĭomfort is a top priority for many campers, so we’ll cut straight to the chase: The Exped MegaMat Duo 10 is a true standout. Below we break down our experiences with the MegaMat Duo 10. After spending many nights on the MegaMat Duo, we’ve come away with high praise: It’s incredibly plush and comfortable, is made with high-quality materials that can withstand outdoor use and abuse, and its self-inflating design is very user-friendly. This double-wide, luxurious pad easily sleeps two, and its generous cushioning and high R-value make it a great companion for year-round adventures. Sitting towards the top of the premium camping mattress market is Exped’s MegaMat Duo 10. ![]() The iconic money scene from "Breaking Bad" uses these bills, which were rented from Gregg and ISS. These bills look real from afar, but up close are obviously fake, with lots of clear differences when compared to the real thing. ![]() The portrait on the bill is poor quality compared to the real one. And instead of "one hundred dollars," it just reads "one hundred." The smaller details on the bill are also altered. Then there are the obvious additions, like the prominently displayed "for motion picture use only." The seals are a different design, and the signatures on the bill have been changed. In fact, if you zoom in to this scene from "Breaking Bad," while it's blurry, you can actually see that each bill says "for motion picture use only." These changes should keep the Secret Service away, but they also mean standard fake bills are no good for close-ups. ![]() So for those shots, movies will often use high-grade bills. ![]() High-grade bills are identical to real money but are printed on only one side so that they can't be confused with the real thing. Like the one we showed you earlier, which was printed by RJR Props in Atlanta. You can see an example of a high-grade bill in this scene from the 2014 movie "Let's Be Cops." An alternate solution that Gregg and ISS have been using for the past several years is to simply use real bills.

Then again, others might not even want to get in the line. Even though you wear a seatbelt, some people might not feel secure enough. Astro Orbiter is an aerial carrousel at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Those who are afraid of heights might not appreciate that 80-foot view. What Disneyland officials won't tell you is that one of the real reasons the Rocket Jets were moved was that their high-speed circular motion tended to - to put it mildly - upset people's stomachs, and more height equals (ahem) more range. The Astro Orbiter might not be for everybody. Guests had to reach the attraction via an elevator, causing a bit of a traffic snarl that was the stated reason for the ride's eventual relocation. The Astro-Jets was renamed "Tomorrowland Jets" in 1964, removed in 1966 for a short (and well earned) vacation, reopened in 1967 as the Rocket Jets in a new location high atop the new People Mover attraction, closed in 1997 for a complete face lift and the installation of an electrical power system to replace the noisy (and somewhat hazardous) hydrogen/liquid oxygen engines, and reopened in May of 1998 in its current location at the entrance to Tomorrowland.ĭuring its Rocket-Jets phase, this attraction was one of the tallest in the park, due to the height of the pedestal on which it stood. 7745 likes, 42 comments - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (nasajpl) on Instagram: NASAs oldest Mars orbiter has looped around the Red Planet more than.

![]() However, character motives remain more complex, but going further spoils some elements. Racism, the assumed motive for the bi-racial victims, plays a small role in the film’s narrative. For those sensitive to these subjects, it might be triggering. It isn’t glorified or romanticized nor addressed with particular sensitivity. Self-harm and suicide are shown throughout the film (once in the case of suicide) through one specific character. Little of this abuse appears in scenes, but there is no escaping the danger children are in throughout the film. Yes, it’s certainly visually different from the plethora of zombies out there, but it’s also less frightening than zombies that leisurely walk to their targets.ĭisclaimer Kimberley Web Design Tired Tropes and Trigger WarningsĬhild abuse and neglect remain the central plot points of Every Secret Thing. While the context works, with injured characters helping to sell them, I can’t help but find these scenes amusing as opposed to frightening. There are moments when the infected chase our main characters by crawling at them. Even the creatures that look similar to it still look different enough to provide a more alien assumption. It also doesn’t exactly match up with some of the other visuals. ![]() While I won’t go into too much detail, an effect looked too visually similar to a common animal that barely survives rain. One of the visuals didn’t exactly grab me. ![]() This information creates a contrivance–perhaps, even a plot hole–because the characters had to reach this isolated town without any opposition. Individuals know something outside of the town, with evidence implying governmental knowledge. It’s hard for me to understand how secretive or known this event is supposed to be in the film’s world. This strategy seems a common practice in Cosmic Horror, which forces characters to rationalize the irrational. Many of these scenes overlap more philosophical conversations and musings that may annoy or add layers. While I have my own theories, that speculation goes beyond the scope of this review.

Snider writes this film which is part creepfest and part warning of a pre-dawn internet free for all. This movie made me see Dee Snider in a different way.
