"of sorts" Seems some people missed those qualifying words. I see infomercials as con jobs "of sorts." Play up strengths, downplay, or ignore, weaknesses. Same for politicians. Just my view of it. Not unlike how so many people here view all Californians.

I couldn't find this FB on YouTube https://www.facebook.com/reel/247053321729997?mibextid=0VwfS7

For some reason the copy and paste took out the space between the 11 and the. 50 (just like it moved the space just now!)

Oh? They don't try convince you that they're better than their competitors? Maybe exaggerating their strengths, downplaying their weaknesses?

I showed that first short video to my wife and she said, "What am I looking at?" so I told her, "A right angle, gearless drive. " "No. What's it do?" "It takes power from this direction (hand motions), and makes it go this direction (more hand motions). " (in somewhat irked tones)"What does it DO?" "You have a shop with a belt drive going this way, but you need a driven belt going at right angles to that to drive something else."

That's in the Americas. It didn't spread to the rest of the world until after Europeans spread it.

Yes, their scriptures could not spell out specifically every item created after they were written, just as Judaic Law couldn't take into account things like electric appliances in the prohibition of kindling a fire. Or our Constitution not knowing about modern communications or firearms ("show me where the Constitution mentions AR-15s!" as some screech). Look at things as a class rather than nitpicking every detail (I know, that's a favoritesport in these parts).

FB find Although the Martin B-26 Marauder did not make its first flight until Nov. 25, 1940, its design showed such promise that the Air Corps ordered 1,131 B-26s in September 1940. The B-26 began flying combat missions in the Southwest Pacific in the spring of 1942, but most were subsequently assigned to Europe and the Mediterranean. In 1945, when B-26 production was halted, 5,266 had been built. The Marauder on display was flown in combat by the Free French during the final months of WWII. It was obtained from the Air France airline's training school near Paris in June 1965. It is painted as a 9th Air Force B-26B assigned to the 387th Bomb Group in 1945.

OH! A Group Called Smith! My favorite of "Pearls Before Swine" that I mentioned before

You betchem! Lazy Afternoon, Rainy Tuesday, The Dream, Tuesday Afternoon.... I think one of the most underappreciated groups of that era. And if you ask 100 people to name one of their songs, 98.5 will only be able to name "Nights in White Satin."

Pearls Before Swine. The Lovin' Spoonful One specific Moody Blues piece (Yes, they did more than Nights in White Satin)

Some Greek bullets were inscribed with what translates roughly as "Catch this!"

Here we would still be being told that it's "too soon" to call it a terrorist attack."

Maybe "unremember" would be a better choice. I rather like it. Very topical for the late '70s.

WOW! Now I want to hear what he has to say about the "pedophilic tendencies" that are so deeply embedded in the school industry. And so much worse than abuse by clergy of any sect. About 15 years ago I did some digging and found that across the boards abuse by clergy is at around 2%, compared to about 1% to 1.5% in the overall population. School industry is about 5%.

Great little article! Thanks, SD.

Funny how everyone of that persuasion knows that "Trump is a rapist" yet there has never been a conviction, or even a credible accusation. And, of course he is a conman of sorts....all businessmen are. So are all politicians. Since I haven't watched it, other than clips on YouTube, it wouldn't mean anything for me to boycott the show. But people do need to write to whatever service it's on to let them know, also the producers and any sponsors.

My guess would be not many. Word would likely spread quickly to Not Try That. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/japanese-knee-mortar.html
