  1. Judge upholds CA AWB
  2. Riveting! Fascinating! Well narrated with impeccably accuracy in choice of photos! Although technically the Starr I s a single action with a finger actuated cocking lever.
  3. A few hundred years later St. John Chrysostom expanded on that: For men of understanding do not say that the sword is to blame for murder, nor wine for drunkenness, nor strength for outrage, nor courage for foolhardiness, but they lay the blame on those who make an improper use of the gifts which have been bestowed upon them by God, and punish them accordingly.

  8. Perspective. Those fins that look so small and delicate in the videos are not all that small.
  9. Half of one or six dozen of the other..... wait.... Six of one, half dozen of the other.... Either way works. And you can cook either one from frozen. I prefer to bake, freeze, thaw and eat cold.
  10. Monday is the best day of the week. It's the farthest from the next Monday.
  11. The mantra of all would-be dictators..."I didn't want this job, and I've sacrificed so much!" Net worth in 2015 about $1.5 million. Net wort now about $97 million. Yeah... Altruistic self-sacrifice.
  12. The Norden distinguished itself through its early tachometric design, enabling direct measurement of the aircraft's ground speed and direction—a feat previously reliant on cumbersome manual procedures with older bombsights. The Norden boasted advancements over its predecessors by integrating an analog computer capable of continuously recalculating the bomb's impact point in response to evolving flight conditions. Moreover, it featured an autopilot system that adeptly and promptly adjusted to variations in wind and other environmental factors, further enhancing accuracy and effectiveness.
  13. That's the usual interpretation of it that I hear.
  14. It started as that, true. But in the Americas by the mid or late 1800s it had become mainly a hedonistic display of all things Hibernian, with any religious aspect being a minor sidebar centered on the myth of driving snakes out of Ireland, and the possibly true story of him using a shamrock to try to explain the Trinity to the heathen Irish. As an aside, the first St. Patrick's Day parade, which I suspect was more of a religious procession than what we consider a parade, was in your neck of the woods, St. Augustin, in the early 1600s. Seems that somehow the Spanish ended up with an Irish priest there.
