  1. Spice up a party by telling strangers, 'I personally have no problem with you being here."
  2. That in translation, "Yes, you fit right in here!"
  3. David BraunLiDAR and Aerial Archaeology rptndoosSeht0gM7J401 47a u8huy28ncgt6791:2t26frc 07 acPgua2l ยท Massive Confederate hilltop 10 cannon artillery implacement chevron, part of R.E.Lee's inpregnable Mine Run, Virginia defensive positions on the Rapidan River. The diameter of each emplacement is 80'. The middle & lower right half of the chevron, as can be seen, has been graded for a building site relatively recently.

  5. Yeah! He should taylor his content to those of us who are 65+ and only want dry and technical information, delivered with all the panache of day old oatmeal. Might could be that a lot of his viewers ARE "fifth grade students." Maybe even third grade students. He packs a lot of good information into that "silliness." Why is it a bad thing to show "fifth grade students" that shooting is both safe and fun? Maybe counter some of that "gunz-r-bad" brainwashing that they're constantly subjected to in schools and the press.
  6. All y'all are taking it very literally. The message I got from it is to not ignore "the little people" who have your back or do the unpleasant jobs. Sort of like the story of the the janitor at the USAF Academy. The guy pushing the broom and not mentioning to them that he had earned a salute from every man and woman, no matter the rank, with his Medal of Honor. But until just by happenstance one of the cadets ran across his name in a book they all mostly ignored him. After all, he was "just the janitor."
  7. It's a shame Cyrus didn't stick with that. Lovely voice, but I just can't get past her very will publicized extremely vulgar stage performances. Especially with her turning around and complaining about how women are "objectified." As such.
  8. I hadn't known she was 76. I thought maybe late 60s. Nor did I realize that she had such an extensive discography. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Safka_discography
  9. Well! Just BE that way! Here I am, SLAAAVING away to edumacate people and what do I get? Ungrateful sarcasm! Some people's children!
  10. yep.... that's a revolver https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/sw22-victory-
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunwise "Sunwise, sunward or deasil (sometimes spelled deosil), are terms meaning to go clockwise or in the direction of the sun, as seen from the northern hemisphere. The opposite term is widdershins (Lowland Scots), or tuathal (Scottish Gaelic).[1]. In Scottish culture, this turning direction is also considered auspicious, while the converse is true for counter-clockwise motion"
  12. You mean "deosil" and "widdershins?"
  13. As others pointed out Blessing of Animals is a common practice. Many Roman Catholic parishes have a Blessing of the Animals on the feastday of St. Francis, or the Sunday closest to it. Orthodox will also have a Blessing of the Animals. And cars, wells, beehives, swords, ships, soldiers and sailors, and almost anything else you can think of. During our annual house blessing Fr. L or Fr. N would usually also bless our dog (sprinkle with Holy Water in the sign of the Cross). First time Fr. N did it his wife was aghast. "You blessed a dog?" "Why not? She's one of God's creations."
  14. You beat me to it. The first is the summation of Marxist theology, the other three are how to go about it.
