  1. I'm here for these stories though.
  2. Doesn't say whether it's Russian or Ukrainian defense forces that shot it down... ; )
  3. I wouldn’t exactly call it a problem, Bob.
  4. All I know for sure is that's a long distance to reach out and touch someone.
  5. "exhausts" It's a bi-lingual joke.
  6. Agree with this take. It’s been a long long while since I’ve dealt with what is essentially a personal bk masking as a corporate bk. I will say there is a tremendous amount of scrutiny on the SDTX BK court right now. So this judge is going to be very deliberate (slow) in processing this case. It will draw the kind of attention the Judges there don’t want. SDTX already has a rep of being friendly to debtors - too friendly in a lot of people’s eyes. Bad publicity from this could cause problems. I know the law shouldn’t be influenced this way, but bk courts are particularly sensitive to it for myriad reasons.
  7. Putin, Lil Kim, some variation thereof. It is known. What’s still baffling is the not insignificant number of Americans who are cool with that.
  8. Im surprised this hasn’t happened already.
  9. It should definitely be entertaining.
  10. Man, I thought this thread was morphing into a "hot Venezolanas" thing. Now we're back to poo flinging guerrilla monkeys? I haz disappoint.
  11. Hmm, going after the religion that isn't of the dominant power. Nothing to see here. Those Catholics aren't "real" Christians anyhow, are they?
  12. This may've been posted already, but the view from the other side of the hill. The last sequence is pretty dramatic.
  13. Old 666 is a great tale and they have their own panel at the NMUSAF, and rightly so. That said, there's not a whole lot about the actual maneuvering here but to say that the pilot banked the plane hard/steeply to give his rear gunners a shot at the attackers. What does that mean? 30 degree bank angle? 45? 60? Who knows. I will watch it again, as I started again at Ep 1 last night. I have no doubt Rosenthal flew the shit out of the airplane. Zero. None. But a "violent maneuver" in a B-17 may look drastically different than a "violent maneuver" in a P-51 or Me 109. Further, I am not expressing doubt that the veterans are telling the truth about what they perceived. I have interviewed literally hundreds of vets for my work. They are people like any other people, and they may be unaware of certain facts, they may embellish, come to change their minds or believe embellishments. I'm not saying that they're lying or that we shouldn't believe them. I'm saying that reality may be slightly different from what they perceive. For example, I had a Sunday school teacher shot down in a B-24 over Wewak. Every Japanese plane as a "Zero" to him, and he insisted his plane was shot down by a Zero. Turns out, reserach showed that there were no Navy aircraft (the Zero is a Navy aircraft) at Wewak at the time he was shot down. He was most likely shot down by a Ki 43 Oscar (an Army aircraft). Maybe the research was wrong, maybe he misidentified in the heat of the moment. Bottom line, I am not doubting that an extraordinary bit of flying occurred as described in the episode. However, I remain skeptical that the "violent maneuvers" which Rosie undertook look in real life like it did with the CGI on the television.
  14. One of the singers in my Dad's band had an Ovation Adamas. It was their top of the line back in the late 70s. It was a fine guitar, as long as you were standing up.
  15. Very hard to sit down and play. They go wandering off your lap. In other news, I had a red letter date yesterday. Chad Jr. has been taking piano lessons for a long while. Way back during covid, he got interested in guitar and we tried to do the Fender lessons together, but he got frustrated, then I got frustrated and didn't handle it so well. So I just left it alone hoping I hadn't fucked it up for life. Last night we had made a deal to practice together (he on piano, me on guitar) and after about an hour of that, he asked me to show him some basics on guitar. You could have knocked me over with a feather. One of my great dad moments showing him how a C on the guitar was just like a C on the piano. Thought I'd share that will y'all.
  16. Pups and knob numbers don’t match up.
