LOL! This picture kind of coincides with the military jeopardy thread. Anyone else recognize where/how this monstrosity came to be? Hint: This is not a new thing, and dates back several decades...

Well they are not wrong.
So un·nec·es·sar·y . But I do look gooooood.
If by “look good” you mean look like a Mr. Potato Head kit gone horribly horribly wrong then rock on Corky.

The T-1000 is around the corner
I want to say Elon Musk agrees with Sara Connor. When speaking to a panel of police chiefs he said that laws are reactionary. We need to develop AI laws before AI is developed as it could be the biggest threat to the world
I believe there was also a smaller version deployed on aircraft carriers to de-ice the deck?
The Gorinich was used to clear snow/ice from the military airfields.

Thank you. Sort of brings back memories of mandatory flight indoctrination. Pilot: "Do you mind if we do a bombing run followed by a Split-S?" Pilot: "Let's do some cloud chasing."
I didn't say real fond memories.

Dude! You been knocked da fuck out!
I liked the knuckle glance the old dude did after popping him. Yea, it hurts to win too.
(but not nearly as much as droopy drawers face)
Nope, that came after this. The use of the Mig-15 engines was originally used on the back of a Ural 4320 (or similar) for decontamination of equipment after a chemical attack. A decontamination solution was blown by the use of the engine at high speed/force, and a series of these vehicles were deployed in a herringbone pattern (engine nozzles facing the center). This way, an entire armored vehicle unit could be driven down the center of the herring bone and decon'ed in a very short amount of time, allowing them to be returned to the battlefield.
The snow melting/de-icing variants came afterwards and were basically built using the self-contained MiG-15 engine units originally intended for NBC decon vehicles.

Future astronaut right there. I would love to see how they cleared the road.
Never underestimate old age and experience....
The ski Meme is all too real to me. Just down the road is one of the largest ski resorts in the area. There will soon be cars littering the sides of the roads.
I knew some guys in Truckee-cops and firefighters - near Lake Tahoe.
They purchased a used tow truck and drove around off duty being a gypse tow company.
It was the 80’s and $50 cash to tow one idiot out of a parking spot was a no brainer
$40 to put on your chains
$100 to tow you to a mechanic after your car overheated. Radiators freeze solid or hoses freeze solid and the engine cooks.

Not long after I joined the PD... I got called to a single car 10-50... BMW off the road. Nothing serious. No damage. Car in cornfield.
Called a local wrecker guy... I'll refrain from using his name. He pulled the 7-series back on the road... at 2am. In a snowstorm. And told the owner that the bill was $100. Mr. Hoboken responded "you pulled my car out in less than 5 minutes... how can the bill be $100."
Tow driver responded... "It's 2am. It's snowing. You got me out of bed. The charge is now $150."
Mr, New Jersey started bitching again... and the bill went to $250. At $300, he turned to me and said "What are you going to do about this?" My response was "Nothing at all... pay the man."
At $400... Mr, New Jersey paid the tow driver. I laughed my ass off.. quietly.
As a follow-on... a year or so later, I hired the same wrecker guy to help me offload a "Backyard Buddy" car lift from a truck. We had the great idea to put it on dollies and pull it onto the flatbed and then he could lower it into my garage. Good plan! The wrecker pulled the 1500 pound long, wrapped package out of the box truck onto the flatbed. And as soon as the 20 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot 1500 pound 'log' hit the wrecker/tiltback... it started sliding sideways. Right towards the driver. Who was working the controls on the left side. The 'package' slid sideways, hit the lip of the tiltback, almost fell off the side, crushing the driver like the wicked witch of the West... and then fell back on its wheels. Driver maneuvered it into the garage... where I later set it up.
He never flinched. Never said a word. Never moved his hands off the control levers.
When I asked him how much I owed him for helping me unload... he said "Well, seeing as you tried to kill me, I guess the bill will be $200."
I didn't hesitate for a second... Paid him the $200.
We were friends until his passing a year ago.... One of them old-timey woodchucks... who is old farmer smart at a level hard to describe.
Never screw with a tow truck driver.

I wonder if this comes in Bourbon flavour?
Here's a meeting of the "I have summer tires on my all-wheel-drive Audi... so I am fine" Club....
As for the truck above... They'll hire another rocket surgeon with a torch...

Compression and tension...important to be on the “good” side.
Good gawd... I've eaten reapers and pity that man.
I was thinking the same damn thing. I've been having my lady do a little more chainsawing lately and having her tell me where the stress is before she cuts. That video is a great illustration of what can happen if you get it wrong.
Let's all sing:
"Oooooh, I'LL take the high road
And I'LL take the low road
And I'LL be in Scotland 'afore ME."
Put the truck in reverse and back down where you came from.
Had to do it for a guy years ago except it wasn't a nice little cabover; it was a long KW W900. Looked very similar to how that one got stuck. He couldn't really answer at what point he realized it wasn't going to work. Should have seen his face when the boss had a 15 year old kid back it down the mountain about 2 miles to where I could get it turned around! Too bad we didn't all have cell phones with cameras back then!!
Charlie's last show was awkward.
Maybe belongs in Bear Pit....
Hold my beer and watch this?
