    I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

    I think it's just an extra shoe, which one has handy when smoking a pipe.

    I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

    ... and what it produced was hilarious. Clearly the AI algorithms are still learning what makes us tick, but if this is what they think pipe smoking is, I think my hoard of Dunhill tins will be safe after SkyNet takes over.

    The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

    I didn't care for the sloppiness at the end, but a win is a win I guess. Lots to work on for Game 2, like telling Nurse to remember where his feet are. Oh, and what a collapse by the Islanders!

    An Expensive Case of Buyers Remorse

    I'm sure there are many people who would feel that way about any number of pipes. Not saying we aren't stupid, just pointing out the similarity haha! This story made big headlines around here when the box of cards was found, and its interesting to see how the story played out.

    Long-Term Cob Torture Test: 6 Months Under the Elements *AliExpress Edition*

    Well in a nod to the previous experiment, I used the same wire that secured the MM cob on the roof. Here is how it currently sits, until about mid-October, or until it disintegrates. I will check on it from time to time and update the thread accordingly.

    Haha not yet, but the bowl seems a little more 'spongy' than the MM one. An added, un-advertised feature!
