Found On Facebook - Kettenbug Honestly, I have no idea what this is! This Beetle appears to have been merged with the running gear parts from a Kettenkrad, forming a strange half-track type machine. Judging by the environment, it looks like it may be a Frankenstein's monster created for farm work. Whatever it is, it looks cool and I want one https://tankhistoria.com/wwii/kettenkrad/

All these anecdotes point out how rapidly our technology and society have changed, but also how young our republic is.

Who on God's green Earth will be holding a mic for 10 minutes? And half an hour? Yeah, if you have a whole raft of parts to check you put the mic in a stand just to prevent hand fatigue. But one or two places on a part? Unless your tolerance is +/- 0.0001 you aren't going to notice. And if you are having to hold that tight you need an atmosphere controlled shop.

Hey! How'd you get that?!

AT AROUND NOON on the 5 September 1936, a pair of fisherman came across a woman floundering her way through a bog in in Cape Breton, on the eastern shores of Nova Scotia. In the background somewhere was her single-engined Percival Vega Gull aircraft, its nose buried deep in the moss and the peat and its tail sticking in the air. Blood streamed down the woman’s face and black peat went up to the waist of her formerly white overalls: ‘I’m Mrs Markham,’ she told them. ‘I’ve just flown from England.’ Taken to a local farmhouse, the aviator asked for a cup of tea and for a phone. She was directed to ‘a little cubicle that housed an ancient telephone’ built on the rocks, ‘put there in case of shipwrecks,’ she recalled. Over the line she told the operator: ‘I would like the airport notified and could you also ask someone to send a taxi for me?’ Beryl Markham, 33, had just succeeded in becoming the first person to fly non-stop, solo, from Europe to North America. She was also the first woman to fly east-west non-stop, solo across the Atlantic. Heading against the wind and into uncertain weather, it was an audacious achievement, but because she had not reached her intended destination – New York City – she initially considered herself a failure. Within hours, however, she realised that the world saw it differently. The feat placed her alongside the greats of the golden age of aviation, not least Charles Lindbergh – the first person to fly the Atlantic solo – or Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly the Atlantic (she went east-west, like Lindburgh, with the prevailing winds) or indeed Britain’s Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in 1930. Congratulations flooded in from around the world. Earhart told the New York Times: ‘I’m delighted beyond words that Mrs Markham should have succeeded in her exploit and has conquered the Atlantic. It was a great flight.’ And a day later Markham arrived in New York where she was feted and given a hero’s welcome – including a motorcade through the city and a suite at the Ritz-Carlton. ‘America,’ she pronounced, ‘is jolly grand.’ #BerylMarkham #shedidthat #AviationPioneer #fypシ゚ #FemaleAviator

Good! One of the ~0.001%, if that many. I got the form letter, then responded that they lied and pointed out the times that the NFL fined, or threaten to fine, players and teams for supporting police, or Christian business owners. Didn't get a response to that.

I was irked, but then thought that they were returning to Los Angeles.

Straight white man bad. We hire based only on the basis of race and gender identity, ability doesn't matter.

I think we have a new nickname for her. https://x.com/ClownWorld_/status/1752848648445338071?s=20

Hard to tell from the photo. Looking under the log on the passenger side it looks almost as deep as the other side, and it seems to continue out of the frame. Also, it could be a training exercise to teach drivers how to do it and have confidence to do it.

This time Judge Benitez did not automatically stay his decision, and denied the almost immediate appeal by the State. https://crpa.org/news/blogs/breaking-huge-win-in-rhode-v-bonta/ So, until Bonta and Newsom can get a court to issue a stay on the decision by Benitez citizens of California are able to buy ammo without a background check, firearms card, or other BS, and can buy online again without having to go through an FFL.

Classic doublethink - scream that the militia clause is the controlling part of the second, then scream that people who want to start a militia are terrorists, white supremacists, or insurrectionists.

Found on Facebook: Duallies, not just good for mud! Here, they enable a Jimmy (CCKW) to cross wooden poles over a ditch.

You mean the system based on the mismeasurement of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole on the longitudinal line that passes through Paris France? But we DO like it! 9mm x 19, 7.62mm x 39, 7,62 x 51, 7mm Magnum, 5.56 x 45.

"Play it Again" to "We'll Meet Again"

Do you mean: (Which I think is a very pleasant song) That would be a flag violation... playing off the name of the group rather than the song title.
