This made me think of the night I went into town with a FNG when I was stationed at Treasure Island in '71 - he asked why a guy was following us jingling change in his pocket. After I explained it, he said "Are you telling me that guy wants to SMD and give me $10?" We went our separate ways.

The bridge was used by most of the I-95 trucks that can't use the tunnels because they carry hazmats.

I still remember my mom reading that book to my brothers and me in the 50's.

I did several multi day trips to deep wrecks where we could only bring 2 sets of doubles and 2 deco tanks. We had a compressor and 2 k's of O2 on the boat, so we started on the deepest wreck and kept blowing our doubles back with air. I started those trips with 8/92 heliox. The deepest wreck was...

Sheck did it on air. With rebreathers, there are more people willing to try this dive, but still not a lot of people who actually belong there.

It's a simple radio receiver/transmitter that is controlled by readily available free software. If you put it or buy it in a Portapack, you don't need an external computer to run it. A popular firmware for the Portapack is called Mayhem, and it can easily do all kinds of illegal things. It can...

My understanding is that the Supreme Court lifted an injunction to stop the feds from cutting down the wire, and that's all. There is nothing at all that says Texas can't put up more wire. The case in the 5th circuit has not been decided. Right now Biden's only move would be to federalize the...

I saw trails like this through the spotty when my partner was shooting in cold weather when the temperature was very close to the dewpoint. We were using normal 7.62x51 ammo and shooting 600-1000 yds. It was during a class with FARGO, whom I haven't seen here for a long time. He said he'd seen...

This probably isn't the Bob Weir I'm thinking of, but I'd be happy if it is. I know his bandmate Mickey Hart is a good friend of the Obamas. Giuliani's blueprint for successfully reducing crime is simple; it is beyond comprehension that no one has the balls to implement it again there or...

This is easy - trying to prove anything to a liberal that is contrary to the approved liberal mantra is a waste of time and energy. I've been paid well for my creativity. I choose to create things and solutions that are useful. If you must fuck with a liberal, make him listen to the Amboy Dukes...

Beautiful dog. A Malinois named Yoda recently became a hero in my locale. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2023/09/say-hello-to-yoda-the-k9-who-played-critical-role-in-capture-of-escaped-pa-killer-report.html

I've been using mils (with a mil dot scope with mil turrets). All of the things I was taught and literature from Vortex assume "real" mils (6283.2 in a circle) My "Arty" friend uses NATO mils (6400 in a circle). Russians mils are 6000 to a circle. The purist in me wonders if everything we use is...

you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berserk?

If you meet a woman named Debbie Bernhardt, go immediately to the free clinic.
