I don't know... do you really think that Cleveland can dig out of the hole?

Yehudi lights. Yehudi lights are lamps of automatically controlled brightness placed on the front and leading edges of an aircraft to raise the aircraft's luminance to the average brightness of the sky, a form of active camouflage using counter-illumination. They were designed to camouflage the aircraft by preventing it from appearing as a dark object against the sky. .l #yehudilights #camouflage #aircraftcamouflage #stealth #stealthengine #stealthtechnology #usnavy #usairforce #navigationlight #aircraft

I wonder how many people during a check up or follow up appointment will say, "Hey, Doc. How about you put me on Latest Wonder Drug that I heard of on television?" And how many doctors say, "Okay, we can do that." What gets me about those is the list of every possible side-effect, but no mention of the rate. 1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in 100,000,000? Makes a difference

Name recognition. Say you hear a commercial for "Tvortnasters Frozen Tasty Baky Spuds." You hear it a lot on radio and television for a few months. You get invited to a potluck and you're supposed to bring some sort of spuds. You go to the store and look through the frozen foods and see them. "Hmmm....that name seems familiar." so you pick them up. Back maybe 30 years ago in a political campaign one candidate put out a radio commercial that must have been written by someone who supported his opponent. A catchy little jingle that mentioned his opponent about 20 times in half a minute. And only at the end, "This message paid for by Friends of This Candidate." "I'm This Candidate and I endorse this ad." All anyone remembered is the name from the jingle, not the name of the candidate who paid for the ad. The guy mentioned in the ad got something like 90% of the vote. That's why Truman never mentioned the name of anyone running against him. Name recognition is a powerful thing.

How Long Had Those Cartridges Been In His Pocket?

So I was on the black, but not the 10 ring. Your last point they can get from his name and ID, gun registration has nothing to do with it. All registration can do is trace a firearm back to the last registered owner. If it's been lost or stolen a d gets resold by Guiseppi's Late Nite Gun Shoppe, location and hours vary, it's useless. -

I obviously took his question to mean what good registration does to reduce crime or violence. Other than give the DA one more "gun crime" to claim he prosecuted. Or bargain away. -
The Mouse That Roared?

Yep. And they transferred a lot of the energy of a crash to the driver. They kept building them stronger and stronger until someone came up with the idea that maybe they should design them to crumple so the hardware absorbes that energy rather than transferring it to the software behind the wheel.

Yeah, our laws are stupid. And that's giving them the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to get a straight answer from any capon about exactly how registration prevents crime or violence. -
It's both - a rotary radial.

I wonder if they are aware of what that is?
Subdeacon Joe replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
When I was involved in reenacting I met some guys, on black and one white. One time while a bunch of us were standing around and got around to introducing ourselves one person made mention that they had the same less than common surname. Black guy said, "That's because his grandfather (or maybe it was great grandfather) owned mine." The families stayed close after they were freed, helped each other out as needed. -
And Padres Dodgers. That should be interesting.

When a friend's grandfather passed they found a considerable collection of antique Oriental erotica, paintings, carvings, and the like, as well intimate toys. They were going to toss it, but I suggested that they try to contact a collector, or at least an auction house. They managed to find a collector and netted enough to put some of the great grandchildren through college. -
He details this, and several other missions, in his book "Thunderbolt."

Or....the officer was going to give the driver a heads up that he had a brake light or taillight out, please get it fixed. Or.....near midnight, the driver was driving in a way that got the officer's senses going and caused him to study the car more closely. It's kind of hard to tell what race a person in a car is at night. -
https://silodrome.com/megola-motorcycle/ " The Megola motorcycle was designed by Fritz Cockerell in 1920, it’s powered by a 5-cylinder radial engine mounted inside the spokes of the front wheel. The are a few benefits to this layout and a couple of drawbacks, on the positive side there is very little power lost to mechanical drag and the engine’s simplicity means that it’s quite reliable. On the negative side, there was no clutch, gearbox or neutral – so whenever the bike need to come to a halt the engine had to be turned off. In 1920 when traffic lights were a rarity this wouldn’t have been nearly as problematic as it would be now."
