Aaron is a web nerd. He basically spends all his time either chained to a computer or drinking craft beer while playing pool. He spent six years in the Marine Corps as an infantryman and four in the Army as an intel analyst/ Vietnamese linguist. That last bit comes in handy when ordering phở.
Scientists have recently discovered the reason for colony collapse disorder in bees. Apparently, the cause is cold weather. Bees are particularly sensitive to the cold and tend to die in droves. This revelation has led to some interesting business...
In the age of all-intrusive politics and keyboard warriors, it is all too often that people push their opinions on others as though they are facts of life. You are instantly shamed if you disagree with their opinions, too. That...
"Argument" is certainly an art form. It's a manly art but a practically lost one. The problem with 'argument' is that people, especially in relationships, conflate it with bickering. Bickering, griping, complaining, etc. are not arguing. A proper argument...
The birth of the Marine Corps occurred on this day in 1775 in a humble tavern called Tun in Philadelphia. To all who have served, and all who are serving, happy birthday and Semper Fi. Enjoy your cake and...
Now that we have covered what you need in You Should Be Brewing Beer Because Beer is Amazing, Pt. 1, the all-import methods of basic brewing are a must know. What you buy is important, but if you don't...
Beer is a wonderful beverage.  It's a social lubricant that makes talking to boring people better.  We evolved with it because it's the first flavored beverage we learned how to make.  We get a hit of feel-good chemicals as...
We often hear it said that a man is a jack of all trades and a master of none.  That's a bastardization of an original phrase which people tend to not use these days.  Mastery seems to have fallen...
This Independence Day, try to remember that all of our founding fathers were criminals.  American Independence is an attitude that says, "Yeah, I know drinking while playing with small bombs is dumb but I'm going to do it anyway."...
How much do you really know about nukes these days?  In the 80's and 90's, we all grew up knowing for certain that the world was going to end in a ball of searing heat because some politician got...
We've heard all kinds of arguments from all points of the digital security spectrum. But the reality is, if you're not encrypting your digital life, you're likely wrong. Encryption is not just a good idea, it's vital. So why deal...
A day when dads should get some peace and quiet. Maybe a breakfast full of eggshells if your kids are small. As a bunch of fathers, we want to take the time to wish all dads a Happy Father's Day....
We often hear that the United States is a 'nation of laws' from politicians.  What people often fail to realize is that a lot of those laws are either not based on any kind of morality or they're outright...
Memorial Day is a big deal to veterans, not because it's our day but because it's the day where we remember those who never made it back. Remembrance is the reason Happy Memorial Day from MING. Set your clock for 2:55...
Many, if not most, people confuse Memorial Day and Veteran's day.  Some even confuse Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, and Labor Day.  I can't count the number of individuals who have thanked me for my service on Labor Day, and...
Thor's Well at high tide or during a winter storm can be an awesome sight.  There is no shortage of amazing footage of the plumes of water that shoot out of it. If you live in Oregon, and particularly along the...
Happy Mother's Day, 2017.  MING would like to take the opportunity to celebrate mothers.  All of them.  Biological, step, adoptive, god, secondary, birth, guardian, foster, and even dads pulling double duty. Call your mother.  That's an order. Mothers Day really does...
Happy Easter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vgVCqMrDHg From M.I.N.G.  
We're not really sure when it happened, but it has become a tacit crime to feel any kind of human attraction based purely on a woman's physical appearance.  Why?  We all know women select their mates by seemingly shallow...
If you're like most sane, rational people, you probably find the SJW/ PC crowd tedious. It seems like militant feminists and social justice warriors only care about trying to find ways you victimized them. Even if you just want...
Basic knots and knot tying is an ancient art which we've largely neglected in the modern era. The whole concept of cordage, how to procure or manufacture it, how to employ it, etc. is a basic survival skill that...
We love shitty movies. Well, I love shitty movies. As far as recent movies go, they don't get much shittier than the Sharknado franchise. When the first announcement popped up for the first Sharknado, I was already on board....
Human beings are basically a collection of tubes with a large, mushy computer attached to the top. We have developed extremely complex methods of finding stuff to put in one end of the tube and let out the other....
We're chock full of cognitive biases. We covered how we're prone to believe things that aren't real just because they appear real. Knowing that fact does nothing for the mind of the person who is confronted with the fact that...
Hey folks, Aaron here. I'm Aaron and I'm glad to be a part of this project because I see the writing on the wall. Too many of the new crop of men are incapable of being a man, and I...
