  1. Yup. Latest generation of equipment to gently lower troops to the ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-11_parachute
  2. It was an impressive feat of engineering and construction to build it the first time. I can’t imagine removal, disassembly, moving, and rebuilding.
  3. Graeter’s Ice Cream in Cincinnati has some of the best donuts in the world. Their dunking stick is about the best piece of sugar coated fried dough ever created. https://www.graeters.com/media/pdf/0920_Graeters_Bakery_Guide.pdf
  4. Does anyone have experience with photo enhancing? This is the technology which can take an old photo that's slightly blurry and bring out more details? I have an old picture of my dad parachuting out of an SA-16. I'm trying to reach the tail number but the only thing I can see is a gray blog where the number should be. I'd love to get a high enough resolution to bring out the number. I appreciate any guidance or insight y'all might be able to offer.
  5. Watching them as they come out. Time well spent so far.
  6. I was shocked at how loud they were when going through mortar quals. I was expecting “poop” like in the movies. The sergeant explained that the “poop” sound came from the microphone’s inability to capture loud noises. “Clamping” is the technical term.
  7. Tennessee has a number of car factories and li’l ol’ Maryville just saw S&W open their new headquarters and factory in 2023.
  8. Which “predictable profile” best fits your narrative? Loner white male connects with like minded individual/s and acts out a first person shooter video game? Muslim terrorist acts out their version of jihad in mid-America? Gang members of some non-white ethnicity? I’ll propose an idea…. How about we wait for evidence and facts before jumping to unsubstantiated “conclusions” or blathering with nothing but speculation, rumor, and bias to stand on?
  9. We wondered that too. At least the Thunderbirds didn’t have far to travel as they’re based at Nellis AFB in Vegas.
  10. Two-plus hours of the finest cinematography ever captured on film. Richard Gere’s greatest performance, even ahead of Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts. Debra Winger at her best. Louis Gosett Jr earning every ounce of pseudo-gold in his Best Supporting Oscar. Just sayin’. Y’all have a good night.
  11. Legitimate question. I used to work at a pretty sophisticated research lab and always wondered who made the first micrometer to verify accuracy of all the other micrometers? Who made the first 500 gram mass with which we calibrated scales to measure the weight of other 500ish gram masses? Turns out it’s a group called the National Institute of Standards and Technology. As to the “Who made the first file?” question, I’m comfortable with the flat rock answer. Old tools have always fascinated me, especially the skills to really use them.
