Thought this was gonna be about the author. 😊

Not me. The less I know about actors & actresses the better. That way their personal lives can’t color my perceptions of the characters they play. It’s hard to look at Di Niro onscreen these days without thinking about what a jerk he’s been in public over the last several years.

That was taken with a very long telephoto lens. Same technique as action films like when Tom Cruise and Arnold outrun explosions that appear right behind them. Gives the illusion that it’s much closer than it really is. Still, if I was the driver, I’d probably need new shorts.

Agreed. Since ‘75 for me. Still better than the others though.

We need a “boo, hiss” emoji. 😁

Wanting to know the length of the naval bombardment, I asked Google. Here is the screenshot of its AI compilation answer. Note that it says under “key aspects”, the bombardment began in June 1944 for a battle fought in February 1945. This is why you can’t trust this stuff. You just know there are people who won’t question the answer.

I’m betting the amount of Naval ordnance expended in the Atlantic was a pittance compared to the Pacific. There just wasn’t the volume of ship to ship and anti-aircraft action in that theater. In short, I’m speculating they had more time to pick up their trash and deposit it before the next engagement.

Please define BP. Are you talking about real BP or subs? So many shooters use BP as a generic term for anything not smokeless. As you know, it makes a huge difference. If you used real BP, of course there were dismal results with coated bullets. They’re smokeless bullets.

Is there something unique about moly coated vs traditional smokeless lubed bullets that 777 needs lube with them? I’ve used a lot of 777 through the years (before switching to real BP) and never needed extra lube.

I think that’s exactly what they’re giving it and little more.

I’ve seen photos and read accounts of casings being tossed overboard after action on destroyers during WW2. After a day of fending off kamakazis, and preparing for upcoming days of more, I don’t think they were too concerned about saving them.

And to think Voyager is still out there sending signals.

I have the entire collection on DVD.

Can’t imagine watching something like that without having seen the original Star Wars.

Doesn’t say what time of morning she walked into her office. Maybe it was 11:00?

That’s because the fee is baked into the price. Instead of adding on a fee to a lower price, which enrages most customers, they give you a “discount” from a higher price.

No

The USAF tried to destroy most of them as they were prone to failure with the aluminum frame and cylinder. The Model 12 was developed to solve the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_12

Very nice! I bet it’s “snappy” What’s the latest on the Glock/revolver swap?

Hope he plows his neighbors driveways to allay complaints about the noise. That thing is LOUD! It appears he’s not wearing hearing protection. 😳😱 (it’s still way cool, though.)

Total make-believe BS video

‘Nuff said.

My wife was involved in a 22-car pileup and bunches of lawyers were crawling out from under rocks wanting to “represent” her.
