  1. There aren't nearly as many as there used to be, but there are still a few around. I know of one in Italy, just off I35, and another on I10 between Houston and Beaumont.
  2. Perry's Five and Dime also supplied my model building addiction in the 70s.
  3. Gibson's Discount Center. Wiki says that there are two left using that name, both in Texas, but they are not part of the original company. I used to walk halfway across Brenham to get my model planes and tanks at Gibson's.
  4. From now on I'm going to assume that any major fire in Russia is the result of Ukrainian space lasers.
  5. Do you remember the "Jax! Fahbacher!" commercials, or did I just imagine those?
  6. Damn that sucks. I have a feeling that lots of my musical heroes/heroines are going to start hitting this thread, since most of them hit it big in the 60s and 70s.
  7. My first taste of beer was a sip of my granddad's Jax that I snuck while bringing it to him from the fridge while he and my dad watched football on TV.
  8. I saw one a couple of nights ago while I was ringing the bell for the Salvation Army at a Walmart, but it would have been a video, and I was too busy to take the video. Some tiny dick bastard in a jacked up diesel F250 with 20 inch chrome rims was driving through the lot, revving up between the cross walks, peeling out down the rows, and rolling coal on people putting their stuff in their cars or walking between their cars and the store. Like his truck wasn't enough proof that he has manhood insecurity issues.
  9. I don't have any pictures of her. What's wrong with that?
  10. My wife (no pictures, but she looks just like Lynda Carter) and I stumbled across a Scottish woman's YouTube channel the other day. She shows how to cook typical Scottish dishes, so we watched a couple. In one of them she mentioned serving the meat pie entree with balls o' doom, known to the rest of us as Brussels sprouts. Henceforth, in my home, we shall call them balls o' doom, too.
  11. That's the one. I couldn't remember the name. A quick Google search shows that it only has a 25 km range. Still could work, but I don't know if the helicopters would get home safe.
  12. I used to think that my good safety record was because I was smart. Now I realize that it's because I have an overactive imagination in the face of hazards.
  13. More than enough time for a good "Gotdamn motherfucking shit!" I knew I didn't have it exactly right. Thanks.
  14. "Stay on the boat! Don't get off the boat! Don't get off the boat!"
  15. UV radiation is not friendly to plastic. Santa and reindeer out front should'a told you.
  16. If my memory serves me correctly, back in the 80s and 90s the Brits had some anti-ship missiles that they could launch from Sea Kings and Westland Lynxs. Maybe these can be configured similarly to hunt Russian missile ships. Would be ballsy against the Russian AA, but could be possible.
  17. Bravo! That's awesome!
  18. I damned proud of those soldiers. That is the kind of discipline that wins battles and wars. May the racist piece of shit who filmed that have permanent ED.
  19. For anaerobic, old fashioned septic systems, Rid-X is a great help. For the newer aerobic systems it isn't as effective. Rid-X is a cocktail of enzymes to promote the growth of bacteria, mainly anaerobic ones that flourish in environments with very little or no dissolved oxygen in the wastewater. Aerobic systems have a good presence of dissolved oxygen in the water, so they use a different set of bacteria. Wastewater plants main treatment systems are aerobic, so they are great sources of bacteria for aerobic systems. Rid-X won't hurt, though.
  20. Several years ago my in-laws new aerated system was slammed at Thanksgiving. It didn't back up, but it was slow, and the water it sprayed smelled bad, which it shouldn't. Knowing that I have a little experience with poop, he asked me what to do. I told him to take a gallon jug to a nearby sewer plant and ask for a gallon of return activated sludge, or RAS. They'll know what you mean, and usually are more than happy to help out. RAS is full of the beneficial bacteria that break down unstable organic matter. Pour it in your toilet and flush two or three times and you have seeded your system with a boost of bugs. Do this about a week before Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other big get together and your bacteria population will be ready to take up the slack. It won't help with roots or busted tanks, but will help prevent the tanks from getting too full of solids and backing up.
  21. Lots of broken morons in those comments.
  22. Maybe he can only afford enough Just For Men for his beard? I don't know about him. I do know that in my late twenties and early thirties my beard was red while my cranial hair was deep brown. Looked nice until I had to shave the beard off for work (safety/insurance reasons). When I grew it back out, my beard matched my hair. It looked better red.
  23. I would think that a plane or helicopter with lidar would be an easy target for all kinds of AA anywhere that it would be useful. Maybe a very high altitude stealthy drone could do it, but it would be easy to detect once it started emitting. I don't know the lidar capabilities of satellites, but that would be the only way I could see getting a good lidar image without losing the platform carrying the sensors and emitters.
  24. Maybe they confused their target audience with their audience's target.
