    As usual drifted off into web search for the Thread you mentioned. :rolleyes:

    Hadn't found it yet, but stumbled upon another great shot.

     

    After the Great Saloon Crash a few years ago (whole site, but that's a minor detail, and in reality I think it was about 8 years ago) I haven't been able to find the photos.  I haven't tried looking for a few years.  Maybe I'll try again.

    Hey, the guy never makes it a secret!   Launching a sports car into space, designing and selling Flame Throwers, Space Ships out of old comics that mostly work.  Amazing guy, I'd love to sit for a drink or two with him.

     

    Like the joke about different space agencies report disasters:

     

    Russia- We deny the lies of the western press that anything went wrong. 

     

    NASA - We will be looking into what happened and keeping you informed. 

     

    SpaceX -  WOW!  Did you see how awesomely that exploded!  We'll learn a bunch from this rapid,  unplanned disassembly!

    I agree but, have you ever listened to him in an interview?  His manner of speech and how it creates a point is hard to listen too.

     

    His speech pattern takes a little getting used to,  but he lays bare the fallacies on which the journalist based his question and then demolishes it.

  5. I think I figured it out when I was leaving the  free charging station at the casino and saw a row of Teslas being charged.  He wanted to revive the lost art of backing up. 

     

    Tesla have the charging port in the rear.   Tesla charging stations don't have cables long enough to reach it if you pull in nose first,  you have to learn to back into the parking spot to charge.

    About 10 years ago someone posted photos of firing shotgun loads that were made with Goex Fg.  Lots of still burning powder exiting the barrels. And from the ejected hulls.

    Them pictures at the bottom of the poster. (drool)

     

    I WANT a Terrier, a 5 inch 38/44 Heavy Duty, and a K32 (oh man how I want a K32). And if I manage to get all of them, then a 5-inch 357 would be nice.

    Too many vehicles have Daytime Running Lights for that to matter anymore, but the flashing lights three times is a long standing "Police ahead" signal. Not use so much today as it used to be.

     

    As I said, first time I've heard of it.   From other comments it seems to be used for so many things as to be meaningless.

    Wonder how many of you would flash your lights to alert oncoming traffic that a parked LEO was up ahead?   When you have no idea what lookout may have been posted for a serious offender and now you have just helped him avoid detection......

     

     

    :lol:

     

    First time I've heard of that.  I thought flashing your lights at oncoming was the universal signal for "Turn off your effin' brights, moron."

    This is what I was referring to by Miller being right on the law and wrong on the facts. And why the arguments for banning civilian ARs must fail.

     

    And if the military is issuing semi-auto carbines with 14.5" barrels, I don't see how they can be restricted as SBRs.

     

    Exactly.  If Millers case had been presented all that his lawyer would have had to do was show that the government had purchased them for the military.  But, since his case wasn't presented, of course there was an " absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State, 2 Humphreys (Tenn.) 154, 158."

    i think most national anthems are based on survival in war , ours is , i dont see a problem in that , personally i dont see a problem in much of the past , im finding bigger problems in what the revisionists are trying to do to our past , 

     

    Yep.  The original French of O Canada has, or had,both martial and decidedly Christian overtones "

    O Canada!

    Land of our ancestors

    Glorious deeds circle your brow

    For your arm knows how to wield the sword

    Your arm knows how to carry the cross;

    Your history is an epic

    Of brilliant deeds

    And your valour steeped in faith

    𝄆 Will protect our homes and our rights. 𝄇

     

    But not many talk about using the blood of your enemies to water your crops.

    Why seek to get over a fear of heights? A very salutary fear, I believe.

     

    I think the desire to "get over a fear" isn't to eliminate a rational fear,  but to tame one that has become irrational and inhibits day to day life, or prevents you from engaging in an activity that you enjoy. 

     

    A minor example:  back in '18 I spun out on a transition ramp.  There had been just enough rain that morning to bring up the road oil and made the road slick.  As I  made the right hand turn I felt myself losing traction,  even though I was about 5mph under the posted speed.  I overcorrected, did a 180, and slammed into the kerb.  Broke the bead on both passenger side tyres.  

     

    For about 2 weeks had to force myself to take that ramp, working  to overcome the fear of taking it, and it still makes me a little twitcy.
