So NH! What was in Shiro's mysterious FedEx box, or was it just a plot device he made up?

So, I don't think it's a secret.

He has an utterly-ridiculous sniper rifle; the most powerful one available legally in California. (I know it's .45 caliber, but heck if I can remember the name. I just know it's the one that shows up in all the Call of Duty-style games as the sniper rifle to own. He says in the rest of the U.S. it's .50 caliber, but to meet California law it has to be .45 caliber, but to make up for it they made the .45 caliber more powerful than the .50. But I don't know guns, so who knows?)

So the FedEx shipment was a digital infrared scope for it. An utterly amazing piece of modern tech: You can see any heat source, day or night. We were playing around with it yesterday, looking at our heat reflections in the window glass, putting our hands on the table and watching the heat signature slowly fade, etc.

He had an infrared camera attachment for his iPhone just a couple of years ago, and the tech in this scope is orders of magnitude better.

I have stayed utterly out of any gun discussions on FaWtL, but I will say that as a civilian device, it's the kind of thing that would make hunting much easier; especially deer, since they're usually out in the early dawn and evening when light is for crap.

Why did he buy it for a massive sniper rifle that would just explode a deer? Because he's Shiro, and he loves his toys.

Ah, ye can jest shoot ye deer in head.

Diswhat.

It's a very popular chat service; basically a very fancy AIM or WLM that works for phones and computers.

Now explain it as you would to a five year old, that's also Amish.

I don't speak in acronym, sorry!

Sorry! I presupposed you knew what chat services are.

Do you know about the old (now-basically-defunct?) AOL Instant Messenger, or Windows Live Messenger chat functions?

Like the old stuff where you used to have a chat between one or more people, and hang out, and have it updated real-time?

Discord is like that, but "modern" and just kind of really fancy.

I thought I said five year old that's also Amish.

Are you telling me that I'm less tech savvy then a five year old Amish kid.

Because, I'm still confused.

Is it just typey type chat or you can see me pick my nose Facetime type of chat.

Ye might be, youngling

Thou hast held thine win for long enough young wizard, take thy witchcraft and leave mine abode 'afore I end thine days.

Your speech befits a man of his word William.
'Tis a shame ye must here lie.

Put thy back into it pretty-boy.
Thy hands shalt be wrinkled and thy floor shalt be clean; and by thy honest labor thine wisdom shall fill to the brim.
Also, it'll make thy days of hoeing with Kunai easier.
Edit: apparently Yoderoki is such an awful ninja, he will always get ninja'd...

Indeed.
Edit: it is somehow very humorous to me that I just got ninja'd while using this alias.

If you were from Wisconsin you'd be prepared for that, as Amish buggies are the ninja of America's heartland.

Oh shoot! Thee be on to us!
