Now that there is a natural born actor!

Yep. Frost on my windshield this morning in SW Ohio.

Congratulations!

Definitely not 1:64 scale.

Operation Dessert Storm

Agreed

Thankfully, no.

Overcompensation?

Yes you did, before you proceeded to analyze away the humor.

I have a 9422M. It is one of three guns that if I were homeless and living in my car, and my car broke down, I wouldn't get rid of.

I've often said that I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully, in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car...

Having read a few of her opinions in law school, I'm inclined to agree. And yes, the fact that Justice Scalia thought well of her, and she of him, speaks volumes about not only the intellect, but the humanity, of both.

No worries, I just let all the air out of my tires to get low enough! Seriously, I lowered the tripod, folded the legs, removed the counterpoise, and put it in the back seat, then hooked my radio back up to my normal antenna (at the rear corner of the cab).

KE8PHY, Amateur Extra. My daughter is KE8PHZ, she's also an Extra. I'm a member of our local ARES group and for UHF/VHF I run a Kenwood TM-V71A in both my truck and at home for both ARES and club nets. I use a Compactenna for both applications. At home, I have the antenna on a tripod in a spare bedroom that I use as my shack. I haven't yet figured out how to do something with my new Subie other than a Yeasu FT60 running to a mag mount antenna. I've not done anything with my Extra privileges as of yet as Mrs. Doc is not fond of the idea of antennas around outside the house. Like @Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103, I am interested in POTA, and picked up a Yeasu FT-897 and tuner off of QRZ. It works fine on 2 meters, and as soon as I can get an antenna and power supply, I plan on hitting some parks. Below is a picture of my truck when I was out with ARES during the solar eclipse. I brought the antenna from my house, just in case I had to go simplex. I can hit the 2 meter repeaters in our county from the counties to the South, East and North without any real problems using just the antenna on the truck. I haven't tried West.

Try living in meme ground zero

Philosophy is wondering whether a Bloody Mary counts as a fruit smoothie.

Y?

I think there is some sexism, if not outright misogyny at work here. First, let's have a better look at Fleet Admiral King's awards: Included are the Navy Cross for his service as Assistant Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet during WWI. The navy's second highest honor behind the MOH, for a staff position. There are also three Navy Distinguished Service Medals. Fleet Admiral King was without question a genius of naval warfare, and deserving of the recognition he received, particularly for his role during WWII. He was also, by what I have read insufferably arrogant, holding everyone from Nimitz to George Marshall in disdain. When looking at Admiral Franchetti's medals, we see several awards that are very commonplace today, including a number that simply didn't exist in King's Day. GWOT Service Medal, GWOT Expeditionary Medal, Armed Forced Expeditionary Medal, Korean Defense Service Medal. Etc... If you take away the medals awarded to nearly all service members these days, she probably has roughly the same, or less, than King. Being an ROTC grad (she attended Northwestern University), she isn't a ring-knocker, but is a graduate of the Naval War College. She has had vessel command, carrier strike group commands, and fleet command, in addition to a variety of staff positions. To say her rise through the ranks and promotion to the Joint Chiefs is not due to her hard work in a lengthy career and due to DEI instead is an insult, not only to her, but to the military as a whole, and women who choose it as a career. I guess those uppity women should know their place, barefoot and pregnant, making sammiches. I need more coffee.

Never fails to give me goosebumps

Alpo. Codename: Buzzkill. I suppose how long it stayed up would depend on A. Your location and B. How securely mounted it was.

I need this.
