  1. Setting the fuse, probably. Large caliber contact fuses can be set to explode immediately upon contact, or to delay the explosion for a few milliseconds to penetrate overhead cover, then explode in the area below. That is very useful for buildings, bunkers, and vehicles. It can also raise hell with tunnels and caves by collapsing them. Contact bursts in forests turn the trees into shrapnel, too, as shown in Band of Brothers when they are at Bastogne.
  2. That's awesome! High five your kid for me, please.
  3. This war is the perfect proof of Napoleon's observation that the moral is to the physical as three is to one. Or, in American, it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of fight in the dog.
  4. Well, if I would have thought of it...
  5. During Desert Storm an M-1 shot through a sand berm and knocked out a T-72. If the old 105 mm gun could do that, the newer 120 mm damn sure will.
  6. They'll blow up, too. And more easily.
  7. I fall on the side of not wanting China to contribute weapons to Russia, but, if they do, we will get our hands on more valuable equipment and information that we can use against China in the future. It's not in China's best interests to let that happen, but we'll see.
  8. I do not answer my work phone after 30 minutes until quitting time. Call back tomorrow. Thanks.
  9. If it wasn't already called penis envy, it would be called aggyitis.
  10. How is that one fucker still walking around? Probably dead and he doesn't know it yet, but damn.
  11. They've been fighting for years for the chance to be Russian vassals, and actually have been. Now it's official.
  12. To me that seems like the number of troops who cannot return to combat, either by death or injury, but I hope that is the number of Russian dead.
  13. Tell him that it's Karl Malone.
  14. If the supposition that 97% of Russia's army is in Ukraine is correct, some nations that border Russia might help Ukraine out by holding some exercises near said border. Or Georgia start maneuvering as if they are going to go into North Ossetia. Get Russia's attention and maybe get them to pull some troops out of Ukraine to counter.
  15. 99 Chinese balloons in the air, 99 Chinese balloons. Shoot one down, it falls to the ground, 98 Chinese balloons in the air.
  16. The t-shirt fans annoy them because they (t-shirt fans) are not affiliated with either school directly, and thus choose Texas over aggy purely on unbiased merit. Every Texas t-shirt fan is an explicit reminder that Texas is seen as superior to aggy by the majority of people, which hurts their little feelings all to hell. Poooor aggys.
  17. They have my permission.
  18. Spiders eat bugs; mice, rats, and bats eat spiders; snakes eat mice and rats; wastewater operators freak the fuck out over snakes. You'll never get all the bugs, or the mice and rats, so it's easiest to cut that chain at the spiders.
  19. That's why we sweep cobwebs two or three times a week. Spiders bring mice, rats, and bats, none of which I can abide in the workplace. (I otherwise love bats.)
  20. There's the way it should be, and there's the way it is. These folks recognize the way it is.
  21. How stupid is it that Chuck Berry's only #1 hit was My Ding-A-Ling? One thing that John Lennon got right was when he said that if it wasn't called rock and roll, it would be called Chuck Berry. So many great and influential songs, and that's the one that hits #1? Silly.
  22. I imagine that there's plenty of post oak and pecan down. I don't like live oak, either.
  23. I've never been told that I was dropped on my head as a baby, I just always assumed it. I'd hate to think that I have no excuse for being like this.
  24. I bet that all of the barbecue joints will get great deals on wood for a while. The only bright spot I see so far.
