Most of my dreams of late have been so wacky that I've been happy to be awakened out of them. I don't remember most of them, but when I'm awakened out of them I say to myself "What the H was THAT all about?!?!"

I always seem to find that if I try to talk over the confuser, it doesn't recognize my response. You HAVE to wait for it to shut up. Of course, first I press (O) to try to get a human anyway. That usually doesn't work anymore.

"The thing with a sting."
Not very well thought out. The driver had to button up before firing or get out of and away from the vehicle. Loaders were unprotected from any gunfire. When the thing fired it raised humongous clouds of smoke, dust, bugs, gum warpers, leaves, and whatever else was behind the vehicle.
Well, yeah.
But it looks just SO badass, you HAVE to love it.

The "experts" are always predicting Doom and Gloom. It makes it seem like they have something important to say when they're really just trying to be relevant.
Kind of like the computer "experts" and the Millenium. I believed then and still do now that the whole thing was just a ploy for job security. I think that about computer program bugs too. I think that most of them are planted intentionally just so the programmers have to get hired to "fix" them.
Same thing with Fauchi and the Zombie Appocolypse.
The main thing affecting oil prices now is that somebody farted in the Mideast, and the speculators acted like they always do and started a panic. Especially since the U.S. only gets something like 10% of our oil from there.

Remember, the Powers That Be had the F-4 Phantom designed without a gun because THEY decided that the era of dogfighting was over.

When I'm making tea, the bag is one and done. Of course, I'm using the gallon size making a gallon at a time. (it's the Southerner coming out in me.)

"Almost all" sometimes just isn't enough. I don't want to have "almost all" covering my butt when the chips are down. Do you, or would you rather have a dose of "over kill" backing your play?
4 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said:Carry that thought through. You've made the argument that every threat should be responded to with tanks. Or maybe carpet bombing with B-52s.
I don't think that Forty is saying that every threat should be responded to with tanks, but that they should be available, just in case. And an A-10 is basically a flying tank.
Forty's just remembering an old Marine Corps saying: "Overkill is as good as a kill".

No, not every threat. I just suggested that you have enough of whatever you need to be able to call in the big guns to deal with it.
One A-10, instead of tanks......or maybe only one or two tanks......or a home made gun truck with a 105 or a recoilless rifle in the back.
ONTOS!!!

I've seen a few of his podcasts on Youtube. He has one where he talks about himself working with Val Kilmer. Basically, he didn't.
To keep the feeling of distance between the two of them, they never had anything to do with one another except when the were in the same scenes. When the went out to film the gunfight between them, they even drove seperate cars. They only got together to rehearse the scene.

How much Close Air Support really needs tank busting 30mm rounds?
Not going against divisions of Soviet Armour in the Fulda Gap these days.
I don't recall ever hearing of A-10s going after boats before either. You never know when you'll need a gun.

Nice day indeed. The top came off the Jeep yesterday. Should stay off until late November.

They've been trying to get rid of the A-10 for 20 years. Because it's NOT the newest, sexiest, fast mover in the service. As long as it continues to do its job, they can't come up with any reason replace it with something better, because there IS nothing better.

In Egypt the city is Cairo (pronounced Ki-ro). In Southern Illinois it is spelled the same way, but is pronounced by locals, Care-oh. In Mass. Quincy is pronounced Kwin-zee. In Southern Illinois, it is Qwin-see. Ee-ther, Eye-ther, to-may-to, to-my-to. Let's call the whole thing off!
Massatoshits has Worchester, while Ohio has Wooster. They pronounce the same. Wu-ster.

Again, how many of us wear glasses? They won't seal around a glasses bow.
Mira has some nice masks, but expect 3-5 hundred bucks, before custom lenses
Oh yes, I remember the lenses that fastened to the inside of the lenses in the gasmask.

The problem with a surplus mask is that you have no idea what kind of filter, if any, is in there. And if it's surplus, how old is said filter.
Even if you get a gas mask that you CAN get filters for, like an American M-17, how old are THEY. A quick look on ebay shows filters from the '80s. Now I don't know how long they're good for unopened, but still...

Star trek, for example. The reimagineering. In my list I have these listed as number one, number two, and number three "in the new Star Trek trilogy".
what the hell do you call four???
As for the "Kelvin Timeline" you shouldn't bother. As far as I'm concerned, J.J. Abrams nearly killed the franchise with that abomination. They're finishing it off with "Starfleet Academy" unless the new owners have somebody that can save it with all new shows.
As for what you call a four parter, a quadrilogy?

The animation house and script writers Fillion mentioned are top drawer. I'm going to keep an open mind too and see what comes of this.
I'm of the same mind as you. As long as it sticks to the source material, and I like to think that the crew would insist on that, AND the animation is good, I'll give it a look.

I thought there was a thread about BOBs here in the last couple of days. Or was it on another board? Because I can't find it.
With all this talk of oil shortages and how bad it is.....

The thinking was that the paint was a mix of iron oxide and aluminum, making the paint Thermite. Mythbusters tested it and decided that it didn't. Ignore the first 30 seconds.
