That was my favorite episode yet because I like that plot line the most. No dumb kids, but still plenty of incompetent idiots on this space crew. I guess that’s our future when billionaire oligarchs run the world. Hashtag team Morrow, I hope he gets to kill the boy genius.
The rock n roll credits music doesn’t do it for me. It’s all songs I like but it doesn’t fit with the vibe of the show.
I watched that PBS aircraft carrier documentary almost 20 years ago when I was getting ready to go to OCS for the USMC because they offered a flight contract if you could pass all the tests, and I'm not convinced that things are any different today.

AfD was founded by Russia. It's also the main funder.
Meh, like they care about individual candidates. All they care about is division. They people or create bots or whatever to post up GRUHorn type content, and then turn around and pay people to post up Brisket type content. All they care about is division. If knocking off a couple of political candidates out of a pool of 20,000 will accomplish that, then it's all part of the game.

So we're talking about sending the national guard to Chicago to "fight crime" now as well...good thing so many people of a particular persuasion spent so much effort passing laws that are primarily used to put young black men in jail so that God fearing white folks who style themselves as proponents for the downtrodden could feel a little safer have spent so much time trying to dismantle the very thing that could be the last hope for our republic.

Dudes were Mexican. Thats proof enough.
Yes, I know they were Venezuelan. Thats the joke.Unfortunately, if you are from south of the border, you are Mexican until proven otherwise, which is not an entirely unreasonable suspicion, given that most of our Latino population is of Mexican origin. The greater problem with all of this is that we are doling out death sentences to foreign nationals in international waters for suspected non-death penalty eligible crimes without any due process or declaration of war. Given that our civil rights our supposed to be endowed by the creator and not just available to Americans, this just might be a gross violation of them.

Did Katrina clean up as a spring break mission trip through the BSM. We basically were just gutting houses down to the studs and piling everything out by the street. One of the houses must have been a proctologist or something, because we found this fake foam butt with a hole and stuff in it for practicing sticking sharp objects and stuff up it. Also found gun safes that obviously had ruined guns inside them, old quartersawn hardwood floors that had been ruined, etc.

Yep. Carjacking is part of our heritage as Americans! Go for the 80/20!
Yeah, im not reading the next four pages or whatever have been posted since this, but there is a big difference in mobilizing the militia to put down something like the whiskey rebellion and mobilizing the national guard to fight crime that is at a 30 year low and happens to manifest itself in one particular form of crime.
And I'm not even completely sold on the justification of mobilizing the militia for the whiskey rebellion. We fought a war to rif ourselves of the kind of control that a colonizer uses to take control of the colonists, yet a lot of those same aspects were at issue with the whiskey rebellion.
And now we are using the militia aka national guard to fight a surge in crime that is actually a statistical low point...
It occurs to me that maybe we shouldn't have passed all those gun control laws that were designed and used to keep undesirable people from bearing arms because it sort of puts some limits on our liberty.

Also, there was a line about her being able to hear certain frequencies in I think episode 1. Clearly she has more capabilities than the rest.

Go to Traveler's Antiques and Trading outside of Amarillo. Buy several pounds of black powder, drill some holes, get some model rocketry igniters, and boom. Even with the drive, you will still save some time. You could also probably find some of the black powder substitutes locally.

Man I’m about to go on a suppressor buying spree after Jan 1. I don’t anticipate shooting anything without a can on the end.
I plan on having a few form 1's ready to go, because why not? 2 liter bottle? Why not?
I also need to learn CAD, because an integrally suppressed pen gun that shoots .22lr would be pretty sweet to print out. Would it serve a purpose? No, but it would be pretty a pretty cool project.
Also, FYI, there is a forced reset mod sailing on the strange waters for your 10/22...

My truck decided it’s torque converter wasn't all that important a couple or three months ago, so I got to spend a bit of time riding the bike to work while I ruminated on whether or not to fix a 2007 F150 with 213k miles or buy a new truck. And what truck should I buy?
I've got about a fifty mile round trip ride to work through mostly straightish highway, so my back tire now looks like this:
So I guess I need to pull out the old tire spoons and get a new one.
As a side note, I got an F150 Lightning. My Sportster is a 1200 with upgraded exhaust and air filter, but I have no record of any tuning adjustments or anything like that because all that stuff was already on there when I bought it with 300 miles on it. Anyhow, im pretty sure this massively heavy truck can just about smoke my bike off the line. That instant torque is very nice.
Now I need to convince the wife the it is worth spending the $2500 or so to upgrade to 1275 with new cams and a proper tuner and a few other goodies so I can get between 90 and 100 horses out of the rear wheel. Because I can't drive a trick that is faster than my bike. It is unholy.
