Not sure. Good HS friend of our so who still drops by is a social worker locally and will probably offer some insights as facts become known.
The school shooting at GM several years ago was the unrequited love teenage boy grabbing his dad’s unsecured bedside home defense handgun and taking...
You are probably correct. You do see plenty of "decoy" guys painted to look like toys.
Just some additional news. White kid, honors HS student, enrolled in a Intl Bac curriculum, college track with lots of history bias. Location was 2 doors down from the Country "State Police Barrack" so...
Tragic loss of a 16 YO yesterday.
Several 911 calls on a young man in a driveway brandishing a pistol and knife. State troopers responded, kid took a "firing stance" and aimed at the cop. Passerby reported kid was behaving erratically. Predictable result.
Fucking airsoft pistol without a...
Last time I was aboard Vigilant, it was pretty depressing. Keep in mind, the interiors were always “industrial training vessel” in fit and finish so takes a buncH of TLC to put into Bristol condition. Not the forte of an MWR sailing club.
Yep. heard this before. We bought the latest and greatest “golden medallion home” to “live better electrically” in the early 60’s. Between nuclear power and hydro from things like the Tennessee Valley Authority, electricity was going to be so cheap, you would not meter it and only pay a small...
Not many folks use scanners in or out anymore. Even the medical folks are slowly understanding that a digital scanner is just emailing a file. Use an iPhone “notes” to scan to pdf from a hard copy. Print to pdf file for anything on your computer. Seems anyone who wants me to send them a scanned...
By the time you unwind the holding companies, the flags of convenience and other organizations set up to protect the owners from liability, did Evergreen ever actually exist?
Had an uncle in the construction business in central Florida. He had multiple companies holding assets that leased...
Exactly. I needed extensive treatment and surgery from a specialty cancer center in Manhattan. Insurance covered it all without an issue. Except for travel there, a place to stay for me and family, restaurant meals, etc. “hospital rate” hotel rooms in midtown ran $250-350/night and didn’t...
My experience is that the pros generally won’t give advice to homeowners on gas fittings. Something about liability. RV place might help. Getting a low pressure propane QD and shutoff from a BBQ store or Amazon is easy. An adapter to connect it to the NPT nipple is a bit harder. You propane...
Thanks Boomer.
As a lot of us know, even with great insurance, there are a million costs that are not covered, from commuting and parking to cafeteria meals for family and caregivers at the hospital. I urge the community to generously support Hobot in this time of need.
This.
don’t really want to go down this path but despite the horror, mass killings are a very small percentage of gun deaths. If you want to really parse the data, mass shootings (depending on whose definition you use) are an anomaly in the data. Legal, “assault weapons” are significantly over...
I know the pit wall told Max that Ham was ignoring limits at turn 4 so he should as well. A few laps later, ham got a warning that he was going to get a black and white the next time around and a penalty after that. His response was “there are no limits on turn 4”.
If you can ignore the...
AIM 54 Phoenix had the potential to take out the firing aircraft when fired in a long range mode. Flight path of the missile in the extreme range mode was to go out in front of the firing aircraft and then climb to high altitude, cruise there and then descend to the intercept point. If the...
They have written off this year already to spend what they can on 2022. If the new budget caps don’t help them play harder in 22, I expect they will be out by 2024.
