The thing that I have a problem with is them being called "Astronauts" just because they go a certain distance above the ground. I my view, before they earn the title of Astronaut, they have to go into obit around the earth!
I don't think that I'd go that far. The first two Mercury flights were suborbital flights, and nobody says that Scott Carpenter and Gordon Cooper aren't astronauts. Pilots of the SR-71 are considered astronauts too.

The old kind (diatomaceous earth base), not the modern gels. I've used the old stuff to smooth gun actions. It's messy but it works if you're patient.
I believe that I saw on one of the shooting TV shows Lead Dispenser said that he squirted toothpaste with baking soda in it into his Vaqueros as a Action Job and then sat in front of his TV cycling the actions for several hours.

Somebody? It was me that pointed that out. And he crushed the gun more than just once.
And then they had to replace it. Please try and keep up.

I finally gave up on my Asian barbers.
When I was stationed in Okinawa, I LOVED getting a haircut from a local. An Oriental Barber ALWAYS gives you a 30 second massage when you're done. There was even one at a local Barber College that did so as a student.

Having said all that I do NOT see what the big deal is over the "crew" of the Blue Shepard flight being all women.
To make headlines. Pure P.R.

There was discussion on another thread about Superman ducking the thrown gun after the bullets bounced off him. Somebody pointed out that once he did catch the gun and crush it. That must have been the S&W. They then had to replace it and got a colt.
(Sounds as reasonable as anything Alpo would come up with. And I'll bet that Subdeacon Joe could find a video of it.)

Well done, you made it usable again!
Both of our cars are old enough that the headlight covers (lenses?) have become foggy and scratched. I found that "painting" the lenses (plastic covers) with a clear urethane varnish restores clarity. The varnish eventually wears off but can be refreshed, just like re-varnishing furniture.
Something for those with clouded headlight covers to consider. Clean the surface to prep it like you would anything else to be varnished, and try a test spot.
You might try varnishing that fuel gauge lens just for grins and getting your dad's ghost off your back by keeping it as a spare!
I use this stuff on headlights. Works good, but you have to touch them up a couple times a year. A spluge on a polishing pad and a couple minutes by hand on each light works wonders. I use it on the windows of my Jeep too.

William Shatner went up on Blue Origin's New Shepard in October 13 2021.
Publicity photo with him and the others he went up with.

On the positive side, they didn't get lost and have to stop for directions. (Yes, I know..)

NONE of them had ANYTHING to do with the preparation or operation of the “spacecraft” or its peripherals! They were PASSENGERS and nothing more!Aside from that, the only problem I have with this event is that they didn’t leave a couple of those individuals up there!!
At least Captain Kirk went first.

Some places will turn it down if asked, but in most chain stores the staff.....including the so called managers.....have no control over it. "Corporate" controls it, but I'll bet you won't hear any of it in their offices.
Yeah, rap music... the "C" is silent. We have the same "We can't control it" at our gym. Some of it's okay, but then sometimes I'm saying, "Da*m, there's something wrong with the radio."

May I suggest welders supply stores, or any industrial supply. Most trades wear 100% cotton for fire protection.
A welding jacket will probably be green.

But in "Die Hard 2" they said it was completely plastic so that a metal detector wouldn't see them?!

Either way they're not metal! Hollywierd says so.

Glock magazines have a stainless steel frame with a polymer coating. They aren’t “plastic” and neither is a Glock. It’s a polymer framed gun with plenty of steel in the slide and internal components.
But in "Die Hard 2" they said it was completely plastic so that a metal detector wouldn't see them?!

When I was a kid we had a “party line”.
Sometimes you would be in the phone and hear a click. Someone had picked up their receiver. If I didn’t hear another click indicating they hung up I would start talking about the robbery we were going to commit at one of the local banks then after a couple of code words my friend and I would hang up.A friend of mine had a mother that was a total control freak. Sometimes she would pick up another phone when we were talking and just listen. If either one of us heard the "click" of her doing so, we'd say, "Hey, I just heard from Jack", and we'd wrap it up.
Sometimes she'd pick it up, listen for a few seconds, and start dialing like we weren't even talking!

Marines are always giving The Navy crap, but we NEVER did so to our Corpsman. I've seen more than a few times when were on a Forced March, when we would typically stop for about 10 minutes every hour, Marines taking off their boots complaining about their feet, but our Corpsmen were running up and down the line making sure that WE were okay when they had been marching right along with the rest of us.

Item B.ii if you aren't smart enough to figure out how to get either an ID or a copy of your birth certificate not sure you need to be voting.

I would absolutely pitched a fit. His boss needs to know that should this behaviour go unpunished that YOUR business will go elsewhere. I understand that the Barbershop is a side business for him, but if he's going to let that guy treat his customers that way, how can you trust his main business to do any better.
I would probably go as far as to find out if what ever licensing agency does so for barbers in Texas has a process for making complaints on a State level.

The Democrats are against this because it will disenfranchise women who have taken their husband's name, people of color, people in the military, and working class people.
I was unaware that people of color were not issued birth certificates. I also did not know that they confiscated them from people in the military, and that working class people didn't get them.
They ALWAYS use that as a reason to not vote for any legislation that our side puts up. And of course the Lame Stream Media always backs them up on it. Rush used to say that if the world was coming to an end, they would run the headline, "World Comes to an End, Women and Minorities Hit Hardest".
According to the Yahoo article, "The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, would amend the National Voter Registration Act so states would be required to obtain proof of citizenship in person from people who are registering to vote."
"The bill's Republican sponsor argued that there's a system in place to address those concerns.
The Associated Press reported that Roy said: “We have mechanisms giving the state fairly significant deference to make determinations as to how to structure the situation where an individual does have a name change. The process is specifically contemplated in this legislation.”
Full article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/house-passes-bill-requiring-proof-152804943.html
And the Military certainly does NOT confiscate birth certificates.

Well, yeah! We all know that yours does. I'm not sure about some of you other guys either.

A friend and former coworker raised wolves in a small habitat across from the OLD Nashville Zoo which was in Cheatham County.
I saw them often and he had special arrangements with a good veterinarian for their care.
Yes! They’re bigger than Huskies and larger even than the Malamute, but not as large as another friend’s Irish Wolfhound.
At one time, the guy had several. An alpha male and female and two generations of offspring. It WAS an actual pack of wolves! The big male passed and he donated the rest to various other wolf shelters and zoos.
Not long after I started delivering welding supplies, I was sent to a place that was kind of out in the country just South of Tucson. It was a plot with a Mobile Home on it, and the lady has several BIG "dogs" running loose there. When I was done, one of them came up to me like any other dog wanting some attention. As I was scratching it behind the ears, the lady said,
"I don't want to scare you, but those are wolf rescues." I wasn't scared, but I was careful. Didn't have any trouble though.

Maybe, but I'd be sticking real close to Dr. Grant.
