Dying of thirst
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Dehydrated is a far cry from dying of thirst. You can dehydrate in a short, (hours) time. In that case, copious fluids are called for. Your body hasn't had time to get used to not being fed, so it's completely safe to let you have as much water, or Gatorade as needed to let you recover. I saw plenty of this in The Marines out at 29 Palms, among other places. You can very easily recover, but it DOES make you more prone to dehydration in the future. -
Why Nasa still flies an old British bomber design
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Chantry's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The fact that these older airplanes have outlived their original purpose doesn't mean that they aren't good designs. These old airplanes can fill a new roll for a fraction of the cost of designing and building new planes. Look at the longevity of the B52. And they show NO signs of being replaced. Think about the venerable Huey helicopter. There are much newer designs being used now, but they still fill rolls that they were not originally made for, even as civilian aircraft. Same thing with the DC3. Those things are rapidly approaching 100 years old, and THEY'RE still flying. -
I seem to remember that there were a lot of problems with the Gauchos. There were several threads on the Wire about them. It got to the point that guys were sending them to Taurus for warranty work and instead of repairing them, Taurus was giving refunds. While I don't need, (?) any more Cowboy guns, I'm still interested in these, just to see whether Taurus DID get it right this time.

I just saw a youtube video about Taurus' new single action revolver, the Deputy. I know that Taurus gets a bit of dislike from some guys, but I'm just wondering if anybody's seen one of these yet. The guy in the video seems happy with it, who knows: maybe Taurus learned from their mistakes with the Gaucho. Gunbroker only has a couple, but they're under $500.

Because it's more cost effective to just upgrade the older ones. -

That's nothing. This is the RB-57F. It was made as a precursor to the U-2. One of these was actually the first aircraft to spot the Russian missiles in Cuba that started the whole Missile crisis. They have one here in Tucson at the Pima Air Museum. -
The Loop Sling is shown in the picture I posted. We used Loop Slings during Marine Corps rifle training. It's used sitting, kneeling, and prone.
-
a Loop Sling is using the rifle's sling to steady the weapon by looping the rear section of the sling around your arm.

Actually that could be me. Edit: This guy doesn't LOOK like me, but the sentiment is right.

Did you say "yout"?

Feast of Feasts, Holy Day of Holy Days
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
It gets worse. Nanny Pelosi got into it too. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) marked Transgender Visibility Day and César Chávez Day on Easter Sunday, though California state government offices will only observe Chávez Day on Monday, April 1. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/03/31/nancy-pelosi-marks-cesar-chavez-day-on-easter-sunday/ -
I of course remember these things, but I just looked up Bazooka Joe comics on the interweb, just to see what's there. People are SELLING the darn things!

And His Fraudulency Joe Biden even manages to screw THIS up. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre has doubled down after President Joe Biden declared Easter Sunday “Transgender Day of Visibility.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/03/30/white-house-doubles-down-after-declaring-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility/ -

The only good thing a Restraining Order does is show a pattern of behaviour from the Bad Guy. Kind of the same way a CCW shows that you're the good law abiding citizen if you ever have to shoot some jackass that richly deserves it. -
So are the bananas.

Any Dairy Queen will let you do that. As long as you pay for them.
