    Back in the long ago time, women belonged to the men in their family. She would be MY DAUGHTER or MY SISTER or MY NIECE or MY COUSIN. MY! 

    In the same vein, the "Giving away of the Bride": One of the male head of the family's primary responsibilities was the protection and the providing for the women in the family. In "giving" his daughter to her new husband, he was also passing that responsibility on to him.

    Some years ago I was shipping something and paying with my Debit Card. This was before chips, so I was sliding it. The first one didn't take. I tried again. No good. Now if you remember, if it didn't work, you were supposed to slide your card quickly. I tried that but to no avail. The clerk told me to slide it slowly. I questioned that, mentioning that the standard was quick. He said, 

    "Hey, this is the Post Office." It worked.

    I think a few minute's exposure to a space vacuum, perhaps with rotation to ensure uniform heating from the sun, would kill odor causing bacteria and mold spores better than a washing machine.  Avoid burning stuff up unnecessarily.

    That would probably require a space walk. Not knowing any better, I'd guess that everything involved in doing one often enough to get the result might be more expensive than new gear.

    Make The Chili

    Back in 2021, at the tail end of the Zombie Apocalypse, (Covid), I had a friend who was a bit of a conspiracy theorist come down with his semi-annual Bronchial Infection. Normally he'd go to his Dr. and get a antibiotic that would clear in up in short order. Because of the medical community's treatment of Covid, he was reluctant to do so this time. 

    Eventually he got so bad that his wife had to get their son to come to Ohio from Wisconsin to convince him to seek treatment. He wound up hospitalized for a couple weeks on Oxygen. When they finally released him, he still had to have Oxygen, and was pretty much confined to his couch in the Living Room. 

    After a couple more weeks of that, they cleared him from all that, took the Oxygen away, and told him that he could resume his daily life, but take it easy. He was in the process of sending another Fire Engine to Caye Caulker Belize at the time, so he went back to working on that. He called me on Thursday and told me that he'd just put a battery in the truck, and that it was ready to go. We talked about a trip we wanted to go on after he got the Fire Engine shipped out. 

    Sunday night, I got a call from his daughter's best friend. Saturday evening, they'd come home to find him on the floor, unresponsive. He never regained consciousness. The pulled the plug Wednesday. I flew out Thursday, we buried him Friday, had a Memorial Saturday, after which I said Goodbye to Columbus Ohio, probably for good. We'd been friends for 50 years. 

    Every DAY I wish that we'd had the chance to make the chili.

    When I get the junk calls asking if I've received my federal food card,  or whatever they call it, I say, "No, I haven't,  please send it to me." and hang up.  Still haven't received it...Wonder why?:D

    When I get those "We want to buy your house" calls, I tell them "Sure, just send me a check for a Million Dollars, and when it clears, I'll let you know."

    "CLICK".

    There is a gif. I've seen it dozens of times on many different sites. Two guys on ship firing automatic weapons, and the brass goes down the guy's butt crack. Cleavage.

    I was going to post that and ask if he was willing to kiss that cleavage. 

    Okay Alpo, you win THIS round!:D I'm surprised that Subdeacon Joe didn't chime in with that one.:rolleyes:

    Trackdown TV series

    That was my thought also.

    Although in the movie Nevada Smith, Brian Keith gives Steve McQueen a 5-inch Schofield, which gets shot frequently.

    They also show Keith reloading the fired ammunition. One of the few shows I've seen where they reload.

     

    Again, just a guess, a movie might have the budget to have blanks special loaded for it, where a TV show would not.

    Or I might very well be talking out my butt.

    In the episodes I have watched recently, the Schofield was never fired.  When the character fired a handgun it was a single action.  Good show, though.

    Just a guess, but the 5 in 1 Blanks of the era might not have fit the cylinder.

    What show would that be? That's one of the annoying things they have on YouTube. They will show a clip from some movie or TV show and not tell you where it came from. Sometimes I know - if it's Kirk and Spock I'm pretty sure that it's the original Star Trek, for example - and other times I don't have any idea where it's from. And sometimes I would like to know.

    You misunderstand me. There are videos on at least a couple channels that show "fails" of real people at a Range, sometimes an indoor range, sometimes in a field. Some of the videos taken by people that they were with, some from security cameras at the Range, some by other people, that show frightening stupidity with guns. 

    One that comes to mind is of a female "influencer" at an indoor range. She is NOT dressed to shoot, wearing something that looks like Daisy Duke shorts with knee high boots. When she fires her 9mm, (of course), the brass bounces off the wall and into the top of her boot. She understandably jumps, but when she does, she fires her gun again, but hits her bag which is at her feet.

    There are a number of them showing somebody who shouldn't be, shooting a gun far to powerful for their experience, many of them a 12Ga, and they completely lose control of the gun, sometimes having it fly out of their hands. I've seen a few where somebody with a .500S&W or similar gun, when they fire it, the recoil is enough to cause the gun to rotate back in their hands, many time inadvertently firing a second time, into the ceiling. A few had the gun rotate so far back that it pointed at their own head, fortunately without firing. 

    If you search Youtube for "Gun fails" you will find plenty of this kind of content.
