The end of the Second World War brought about the repatriation of tens of thousands of Americans held as Prisoners of War by the Japanese. Among the longest suffering of these were the men of Company C of the 194th Tank Battalion, who surrendered to the Japanese in April 1942, on the Bataan Peninsula.
Company C was originally the 40th Tank Company of the California National Guard, from Salinas,CA.
Of Company C’s original strength of 107 men, six were killed in combat and 54 died under horrible conditions in Japanese Prisoner of War Camps or as slave laborers in Japan. Only 47 men were able to return home.
Armed with M3 light tanks and half tracks, the men of the 194th distinguished themselves in numerous actions, delaying the Japanese advance by months.
This article was written by Burton Anderson for the 50th Anniversary of their liberation.

That last Instagram. One of the videos down below it was only about 5 seconds long. The guy decided that he would cook steak for the girl on the first day of her period.
Okay. But I've never seen anyone cook steak like that.
He's got the two steaks in the frying pan. On the burner. Puts a big lump of butter in it. Then after the butter melts, he tilts the pan and scoops up butter with a spoon and pours it on top of the steaks. He was basting the steaks with the melted butter.
I've never seen anyone do that. I wonder how it would taste?
Arroser, aka butter basting, is a standard technique. Usually you get your pan screaming hot and get the steaks in it and quickly get a good crust (mallieard reaction) on both sides flipping about everyminuteor so for even cooking. . Add the butter, often with some crushed garlic, sprigs of thyme and/or rosemary, and spoon the hot butter over the meat to infuse the flavor and help cook from the top.
The few times I've done, I then use the butter left in the pan to pour over potatoes, or sautéed onions or mushrooms in it. When I've seen it on cooking shows the butter is usually discarded.
It's also a technique used for poultry and fish.
My personal opinion is that while it's good, it's not worth the extra effort or using up that much butter.

It just struck me that it might have been a 10 gauge, not a 12.

Easy to make:
Buttermilk Pretzel Bread
For Bread:
6 Cups Bread Flour, divided
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Hot Water
¼ Cup + 2 TBS Brown Sugar
Yeast
2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 Egg (from a chicken)
For Poaching Liquid:
About 3 quarts of water, ¼ cup Baking Soda, and ¼ cup Brown Sugar.1 Egg for coating loaves.
Proof yeast in hot water and 2 TBS of brown sugar.
While yeast is proofing toast 1 to 2 cups of the flour in a dry skillet. Stir it frequently, you want it a light brown.
Put the toasted flour, and all but 2 cups of the reserved flour into a mixing bowl along with the salt and brown sugar. Blend together with whisk or dough hook.Add the water & yeast, egg, and buttermilk. Using the dough hook of your mixer, mix this for 4 to 5 minutes then slowly add the remaining 2 cups of flour. Continue mixing with the dough hook until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Turn out and knead a few times until it forms a smooth ball. Put in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled.
In a large kettle or stock pot bring the poaching mixture to a boil.
Heat oven to 350 F.Oil two sheet pans, line with parchment paper and then oil the paper.
Divide the dough in half (obviously, divide dough into however many buns this would make. I suspect it will make at least 8 buns, but don't hold me to that), knead into
two loavesbuns. Putloavesbuns, one at a time, into the poaching liquid. Simmer for 1 minute, then turn over and simmer for one more minute. Remove with slotted spatula, spoon, or whatever works. Place on pan and paint with egg wash, being sure to get the bottom of the loaf.
Slash the top of the loaf 3 or 4 times – get fancy if you like.
Bake for 45 min. Cool on rack. Enjoy.-

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

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.

Oh.
I was thinking it was going to be
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.

1940s Smith and Wesson poster. Saw it in the movie Phantom From Space on the wall of a police station.
In looking for that particular one, I also found

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......
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."
