The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around. Before testing it, I figured this might be one of those high-tech features that sounds good on paper but doesn’t change much in practice. I mean, they’ve been putting gyroscopes on boats since the late 1800s. How much different could the DG3 really be? I decided to join…
The Bloomberg-backed website The Trace has once again partnered with Rolling Stone on a hit piece designed to portray the firearms industry in the worst light possible. The headline of the piece promises to reveal “The Gun Industry’s Digital Tricks to Make Buying Guns a Habit,” but the big problem for the anti-gun reporters is that there’s just no “there” there. The Trace got ahold of a May, 2024 marketing webinar from Guns.com’s digital marketing director Will Altherr.

When most people think of the Pacific Theater of World War II, they envision tropical islands, heat, and jungle combat. However, the 18-day campaign in May 1943 to retake a remote Aleutian island from Japanese occupation was the total opposite. The fight over the frozen island became the only land battle of World War II fought on U.S. soil.More than 15,000 soldiers faced fanatical Japanese troops as well as harsh winds, freezing rain and terrain that injured more men than combat did. When the fighting ended, nearly 3,000 Japanese and American troops lay dead on the frozen island—and an entire…
