  1. Yeah, back in the 80's the FBI created what they called the Tueller Drill. Stating that if someone is within 21ft of you, they can close the gap faster than you can draw, aim, and fire your pistol. It's not 100% accurate, but the point is clear. Keep your distance.
  2. So many, but let's start with firearms as I've been binging cop/drug/special agent shows lately and I'm grumpy Bullets do not "spark" on impact. Protagonist shoulder impacts - especially around the clavicle destroy the entire arm. It's done. If it nicks the deltoid, maybe...but a solid hit anywhere around the joint and it's game over. Reloading. It's a thing Hiding behind cars. Not a thing. Pistol rounds maybe. Rifle rounds, outside of the engine block, are passing through. Especially the doors. Pistol accuracy - when did every cop, every criminal, and every agent learn to shoot their sidearm with the accuracy and efficacy of a tier 1 operator that spends tens of thousands of rounds a week in practice. Suppressors. They are not "silencers", they are suppressors. And unless they are using sub-sonic ammo, and even that isn't "silent" it's still loud. Especially inside. A suppressed, sub-sonic .22lr is the only thing that comes close to "Hollywood quiet" Vests - they can stop many pistol rounds, but you will often have cracked ribs and internal bleeding as a souvenir. On to explosives Grenades make a very loud "pop". There is no fireball. They don't take down buildings. It's not like a can of gasoline ignited. Cars when they catch fire don't explode. They burn aggressively, but they don't explode like a 55 gallon drum of gasoline
  3. This all sounds great, but I want to be able to manufacture long, soul-crushing drives and wear teams down. This pass rush is going to reek havoc on teams having to play from behind and on obvious passing downs.
  4. Isolated for over a year with the same annoying people - yeah, I get it
  5. Salties in Australia say hold my beer - but point taken
  6. The chair is against the wall
  7. Leave your flappy turkey neck out of this Greatest. Movie. Evah….
  8. Watched that steaming pile of kitten shit over the weekend. 90's robot uprising nonsense. I just turned it off, and I love Pratt and sci-fi movies.
  9. Not a great sign when you put all your aces down on the table early on in the game
  10. Their NIL deal with Carhart and Grainger isn't what it used to be
  11. Blankman with the Wayans brothers.
  12. Makes me think back to those boys in AR that found the cocaine drops coming in from Columbia. They "died" according to officials from being hit by a train. Mom shut that shit down, demanded an independent autopsy that revealed the COD to be knife wounds and the train injuries were post-mortem. The whole Barry Seal drug running for the CIA shit that they made a Tom Cruise movie about
  13. With all the gate changes, flight time changes, and overall airline fuckery - get the pass, add it to your wallet on your phone, and get text message updates
  14. See military application shaped-charges, ie. known as HEAT rounds or EFPs. Conical copper liner, when detonated turns into a molten mass with velocities over 20k fps. It was also the genesis for modern composite armor or the reactive armor we see all over UA/Russian tanks.
  15. Looks worth a watch. F1 drivers are WILD. There is only a handful of them. Twenty+? The shit they can do is wild
  16. Let's not kid ourselves, Miami Vice was the tits. Soundtrack was amazing.
  17. Had a pimp-ass Linen suit back in the day that I got at the mall. Apparently after a drunken stupor a wadded up linen jacket doth wrinkle too much....live and learn as a dumbass college kid.
  18. Same with Cabo. Every trip their are some drunk assholes trying to play in the water to the point that the resorts have to have guys walking the beach yelling at these idiots to stay behind the ropes
  19. It's because you are a big poon like the rest of us I remember back in 2001 pops got a wild hair up his ass to build this massive smoker at the cabin at the ranch. 55 80lb sacks of concrete. Hey boy, I need those moved. The vehicle? An all metal wheelbarrow. When I say all metal, I mean all metal. Including the fucking wheel. That as the summer when it was triple digits for a few months. No worries. Now, I'd just die. No pretense. Just death. And I would welcome it.... As for the Europeans, yeah they are clueless. And it's not just water, when it's that hot too much water and you'll founder. You need electrolytes or your body won't be able to absorb it.
  20. I also love the heat down there. Texans can take the jungle heat/humidity, especially on excursions to the ruins, etc. I remember we were at Chichén Itzá and this obviously European couple was walking in front of us. Thankfully it was the grassy expanse from where the bathrooms were to the pyramids. Dude just drops. Faceplants into the grass. Wife starts screaming, people scatter. They have to carry him back into the AC where the bathrooms are. He just fainted from the heat. Similar story in Vietnam. Touring the Cu Chi tunnels. Indian woman from London was with us. It's dense, triple-canopy jungle. I was next to her, her eyes roll back in her head, she luckily grabbed a pole and slid straight to the ground. She came to, they got her out of there, but man. Stay hydrated. Acclimate a little first before heading out people.
