Holy Father, the only true physician of our souls and bodies, who cast down and lift up, accept us as we come in all humility to glorify you and thank you for preserving, by your grace, your servant, through his recent operation.
We thank you for blessing the attending physicians and the means employed for his cure, and for restoring him safe and sound to his family, having fended off every danger against his body and soul.
Raise him speedily, we pray you, from the bed of illness on which he lies and return him to his home and peaceful pursuits.
Grant that the suffering of his body may avail for the purifying of his soul and may lead him to return, in thanksgiving, to the works of his hands and to Christ Jesus, the Physician of soul and body.
Amen.

That's not a torpedo. That's a round for the AR-15 Assault Murder Mass Destruction Ghost Rifle. They come in 30 magazine clips that are fired in half a second.

"The anonymous Englishman who managed to lodge a 2-inch-wide World War II anti-tank shell inside his rectum back in 2021 has been unseated.
The phrase “shell shocked” took on new meaning over the weekend when a 24-year-old Frenchman hobbled into Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse, France, complaining of unspecified pain."

My basic bread dough receipt is the Basque Shepherd's Bread that was published in the early '70s. It calls for butter. Sometimes I use butter, sometimes vegetable oil, sometimes a blend of olive oil and one of those. Sometimes I leave it out (especially if I make it for a Lity or to use as zapivka), which makes a coarser crumb. I can cut it, tip it cut side down on a bamboo cutting board. It will stay good for at least 5 days.
I'll replace some or all of the water with milk and eggs, add more sugar, and use it for cinnamon rolls, poppyseed rolls, and nut rolls.

AMAZING!
Equally amazing is that they can manufacture needles and suture thread that small.

I vaguely recognize the name. Have no interest or intention of changing that condition.
From the comments in this thread I get the sense that it's just another "do as I say, not as I do" elitist.

"Manly" is not worrying about if others think you are "manly." Looks like you solved the issue with your bread. It looks great. So do the cookies.
I'm the youngest of 4 boys. 12 years between me and my eldest brother, 7 between me and my youngest brother. Mom was 35 when I was born, so she was tired. I now joke that I was a bungle of joy because mom took seriously something dad poked in fun.
I l learned to cook, iron, and sew before I was 10. And helped dad with house repairs, and my brothers work on their cars.

Obviously fake. Nobody hugged her, nobody gave her a shot of ouzo, and nobody pulled her into a dance.

So the aircraft is on final.
FO: “boy, that runway looks really short”
Captain: “Yeh, but I think we're good. Full flaps, gear down, arm spoilers, ready for full thrust reverse.“
FO: “Roger. Full flaps, three green, spoilers armed, ready for full thrust reverse. That runway is really really short”.
Captain: “You're right, it's gonna be real tight, I don't like these unmarked runways, especially when they're that short. Prepare to land and both of us on the brakes as soon as the wheels touch”.
As the aircraft touches down at the edge of the pavement, they apply full thrust reverse and slam on the brakes. The tires scream, the aircraft shakes violently, everyone is thrown forward restrained only by their seatbelts.
But, believe it or not, as they screech to a stop, the nose wheel just touches the far edge of the asphalt.
Captain: “Good grief, that was absolutely the shortest runway I've ever had the misfortune to land on”.
FO: “No kidding, but look at how bloody wide it is”.

That brings back some memories of CBC Northern Service: Take It From Here; L For Lankie: I was a Communist for the FBI; Out Our Way; Cisco Kid; The Lone Ranger.
My parents dancing in the kitchen to music on "Make Believe Ballroom Time".
Listening to "Hawaii Calls" and imagining what it would be like to go there. (They finally did. Went for a three week stay and ended up staying for a couple of months!)
I think there are Playlists for a couple of those.
Also check the Podcast tab.

Anyone remember, "Mr. Toads Wild Ride" ?
That was a C-Ticket ride, if I recall.

"Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev (Russian: Михаи́л Дми́триевич Ско́белев) (29 September [O.S. 17 September] 1843--7 July [O.S. 25 June] 1882) was a Russian general famous for his conquest of Central Asia and heroism during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78. Dressed in white uniform and mounted on a white horse, and always in the thickest of the fray, he was known and adored by his soldiers as the "White General" (and by the Turks as the "White Pasha"). During a campaign in Khiva, his Turkmen opponents called him goz zanli or "Bloody Eyes". British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery wrote that Skobelev was the world's "ablest single commander" between 1870 and 1914 and called him a "skilful and inspiring" leader."

So as not to clutter up the Lone Ranger thread

I ran across this channel when I was looking for the radio program to post in that thread.
Lots of good things there.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who did patiently endure the scourging and wounding of Your most holy Body, that You might save the souls and bodies of Your people, look graciously, we beseech You, upon the suffering body of this Your servant and give him strength to endure patiently whatsoever You shall see fit to lay upon him. Bless the means employed for the working out of his cure, granting that he may so endure his sufferings in the flesh that the wounding of his body may be to avail for the correcting and salvation of his soul, for Yours it is to show mercy and to save, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up Glory, as to Your Eternal Father and Your All‑Holy, Good and Life‑creating Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Not sure that would have helped my son who died in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago. Bike flipped and landed on him crushing him.
God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which he has committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.
For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servant who has fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen
Grant rest eternal in blessed repose, O Lord, to the soul of Thy servant who is fallen asleep, and make his memory to be eternal.
May God watch over you and comfort you in your time of grief.
Your son has now joined "the cloud of witnesses" of which St. Paul spoke.
And,as was written in the Gospel according to St. John, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
