It's . . . SCIENCE!!!
?
?
? ?Hhmmmm, . . . . Now let me think. WHAT could possibly ever be causing widespread MUTATIONS to the DNA of the brains of YOUNG PEOPLE???
?
? ?MAYBE all of the KRAP that is being pumped into their daily diets by Big Ag??? Maybe all of those "Vaccinations" REQUIRED to "protect" them from every form of typical childhood illness under the sun by Big Pharma??? Maybe the completely artificial and utterly useless "Anti-COVID" JABS??? . . . . OR could it even be the results of being incessantly bombarded by electronic stimulates 24/7/365?????
? ?Whatever the "CAUSE", you can bet your bottom dollar that NOBODY is going to take the blame or be held accountable. . . . I'm sure that it will just be chocked off to Climate Change. Right????
?
?
? ?Speaking of "Climate Change" --- Remember Al Gore's tirade about "Rain Bombs and the Oceans Boiling"??? . . . . Yeah. Not so much, Al.?
?
?
? ?Gotta wonder just HOW BIG of a government taxpayer funded grant the Egghead who untangles this from The Narrative without upsetting the Climate Crazies and while keeping Big Al rolling in the dough will be getting. . . . . I'm blaming Whale Farts!!!?
?
?
? ?And if ya can't frack-up your own planet . . . . then just set your sights on fracking-up somebody else's!?
?
?
? ?Personally, I don't think that Marvin The Martian has too much to worry about from Komrade Muskie's threatened takeover. Not when they still can't even figure out how to get their WOKE-anauts BACK TO THE MOON with all of their "New & Improved" Super Tekno Toys. Heck, they can't even figure out how to get them BACK DOWN TO EARTH!!! . . . Reckon that they'll just have to call for an Uber.?

Ryan Jump Jets
? ?Always a fan of Odd Birds and Military Dream Machines that were never given the chance that they deserved (Thank You GREEDY Air Force brASS HAT JERKS!!!) I think that the Ryan Jump Jets really could have made a lasting impression on the battlefront even into today. Especially for the US Army! In the role of Launch & Land ANYWHERE "Jack-In-The-Box" Interceptors and Ground Support/ Attack Aircraft, (not to mention as RESCUE craft that some of those downed AF FlyBoys might have appreciated!!!), these light little Odd Birds could have made a big difference. Certainly, far more versatile than those knockoffs of the British Harriers we eventually went with.
?
?
? ?I wonder how they would have done as predecessors of the A-10s if comparably armed as Gunships with autocannon and/or rocket pods????
?
? ?Yeah, I needs me some Alt-Cold War Military SF/F!!!?

Ooooh, It's The End Of The World As We Know It . . . .
? ?Not much of an ADDITIONAL surprise to the never-ending cluster-muck that has thus far comprised this glorious decade of the 2020s, I reckon that it should come as no sort of a shock that the Doom Criers are proclaiming that even beyond "THE SCIENCE" all sorts of "Omens, Signs & Portents" indicate that "BAD THINGS BE A'HAPPENING!!!" . . . . I reckon that they've gotta work with whatever will bring in the bucks while they still can. Right????

Re: forgot
? ?I'm actually surprised that in UNjolly Old England that he can get a permit to FIRE BLANKS at all! Those up-tight Bureau-Weenies over there probably have fits if someone farts too loud! (So, much for all of that Beans-On-Toast!!! Hey, what?? LOL)?
?
? ?I know that he has mentioned several times about the blanks they use when setting up those field pieces for sale to the reenactors and all of the hassles he has getting the permits. Even just the permits to have a piece that CAN fire blanks sounds like a nightmare. And expensive! And I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with enjoying watching someone getting to Play Pretend. = I REALLY liked watching that PAC (and even the Sherman!) go BANG! (I just felt sorry for whoever was going to have the job of scrubbing all of that residue back out of that BIG BARREL!!!)??
?
? ?However, in that episode about the Sherman he made a BIG TA-DO about firing LIVE ROUNDS. --- Even though right-off I figured it was BULLSHITE. = A quick look DOWN RANGE (Which I just out of pure habit ALWAYS CHECK.) and you could tell that unless he was willing to be paying some farmer good money to be reploughing his pastures, . . . something just wasn't right.?
? ?I "thought" that JUST MAYBE he was at some military base using their gunnery range. . . . . right up to until they actually started firing. Then it just all became overly obvious that he was FULL OF SHITE! = Utterly Disappointed!!!?
?
? ?WHY such a CHEAP BS FAKE??? = Just "Looking for Clicks"??? === I REALLY don't like it when somebody thinks that THEY are Oh-So Clever, and that I'm THAT STUPID. The Bloody TV, and even WORSE, the Bloody BoobTube has way too much of that stuff going already as it is! (Not to mention ANYTHING Political!!!) BECAUSE, if he'd FAKE something THAT OBVIOUS (And just Bloody Stupid!!!) . . . . WHAT ELSE is he Faking??? === IMO, (And obviously the opinion of A LOT of the Commentors) he shot his reputation and credibility right out of that barrel with that very first round. (I won't even get into the one with them "Testing" the effects of landmines and other things that go BANG on junker Rump Buggies!? LOL)?
?
? ?Now will I, or would I, watch any further episodes that I can find stashed away somewhere???
?
? ?Well, I certainly DID!!! And CERTAINLY WOULD!!!!!! === Like I said, I LOVED seeing all of that old stuff packed into those barns!!! (But that guy who had a round blow up in his face while in his basement cleaning it up, sure got me to wondering about the "Expertise" of some of those Packrats! YIPES!) AND watching the twins bring them back to life just looks like WAY TOO MUCH DARN FUN!!!! (It's a "Sickness", I know!!!) . . . . I'll just go forward with about just a pinch less salt than when watching any of those Cryptid Big Foot or Political "news" videos. === It IS, what it IS. And that's all that it IS. <shrug> So it goes! <sigh>??

forgot
Ron Hunt
One of the things I meant to say and forgot was IN THE SHOW he DOES STATE how the guns firing are blanks except for the small arms and he usually introduces the guy (they call him the armorer) that is responsible?for doing the actual blasting. Also when they do make a weapon (tank/ canon) able to shoot again even though they are blanks they have to have special permission and another "armorer" responsible for those weapons. Obviously the short clips on UTube leave a LOT to be desired when explaining what he is doing. The show IS A CLASS act, NOT like the usual BS on TV. Ron |
Re: toys
Ron Hunt
Yea, there is some "showman" to it, but it IS a TV show. Also, there is NO WAY IN HELL the government is going to let him fire LIVE rounds, they are blanks - I've watched them buy them. ALL the stuff he "blows up" is for show, not for real. That is obvious but most of the time he will say something to that effect.

And getting to root around in all of those stashes . . . . you would never get me to GO HOME!? LOL?

toys
Ron Hunt
I will give the Chinese one thing ... my 1/16 R/C tanks may not be top quality from the factory but they still run/shoot and do all the other things they are supposed to and I have yet to have one die on me and I've had them for 20 years or so. It is pretty cool to listen to the motor as it cranks up, fires and then sits and idles?until?I give it the throttle. I love the 6mm paint balls?it shoots and the way they rock back after firing the main gun. Nice sounds to the MG's too. Of course adding upgraded gearboxes with?better motors helps and adding metal running gear/tracks helps with making it run a lot smoother over the ground and even grass. They almost sound like a real tank with the clanking and squeaking?going on when running!! And price - basic tanks can be had for less than $200!!!!! Sure as hell can't beat the price, I have bought them for as little as $50!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't run because the idiot that owned it was trying to use it with the wrong batteries!!!!!!!!! With all that going for them why would I want to mess with 1/35 toys? You never did say anything, did you ever get a chance to check out that Combat Dealer??? Man I LOVE that show and have learned a LOT from it. Ron |
Re: Well,THIS SUCKS!
? ?Maybe if I could have opened them up and dumped the stuff in that "trick" might have helped. But with all of those unguarded open sided ports on the laptop and a lack of the "specialty tools" required (A**HOLES!!!), the flooding was too extensive. = Considering the cowardly nature of those darn little zapper sprites to defend their home turf from the soggy's invasion and a predisposition to look for any excuse to vacate their "cherished" homelands (I think they must be French!), things were pretty much settled within the first few seconds of conflict. (Yep, definitely French!? LOL)?

In fact, it's usually the little PissAnt who comes out way ahead!!!?

? ?A few days ago, our old Houndzilla decided to get a bit rambunctious and with one mighty swipe of his TAIL OF DOOM leveled everything setting on my little side table. . . . . Most notably, my FULL Tankerd of ice-tea!!!
? ?Needless to say, the devastation was fairly complete as the tsunami of essential caffeinated life-support fluids washed over everything in its path with absolutely no regard for anything laying downstream of the raging headwaters of its now wasted fortified golden refreshment and thus saturating all that stood before it. = I.e. - My bloody laptop and cellphone! Which have now been rendered utterly useless as their machine spirits succumbed to their terminal drenching with obviously little or no humor and have now stormed off in a bit of a soggy shitfit-snit to drier climes wherever the heck it is that such entities go on their vacations.?

?
? ?Fortunately, since those worthy entities did not depart in the traditional overwhelming display of pyrotechnics of blinding flashes of diminutive lightning and rising columns of smoke so well documented on numerous occasions by the filmographers of HollyWeird, I can only hope that they might yet be coaxed and cudgeled to return once again to their proper homes.?
? ?Unfortunately, my Bidenomics plagued limited resources are such that it won't be until the end of the month before I can even hope to procure the required funding essential to petition the high priest daemonologists in their temple of the Electrostatic Machine God to undertake the proper secret rituals and incantations required to ensnare these wayward and elusive minor daemons once again. If indeed, even they can accomplish such a task. For all are aware of the rather temperamental nature of such creatures, and their outright skittishness once they have found even short-lived freedom among the outer realms.

Tamiya kit
Ron Hunt
There is no R/C involved. The Panz IV is a WIRED remote control model. I'd never waste time on R/Cing a plastic?model, the drive system wouldn't last long enough to sneeze at. I think about the same when it came to N. Africa, Hitler never intended to get mixed up there at least for a while. But the Italians screwed it up so bad he kind of got sucked into it. I have always believed it was a HUGE mistake to try to take Russia, he never did and never would have an army big enough to get the job done. The very same reason we would never try it any more than they would try to take this country by invasion. Just a plain stupid idea, to many logistical problems any way one looks at it. Like the Jap said, invade and there will be a gun behind every blade of grass ... Ron |
Re: SOSJAD

? ?It sounds like those "Slipping Gears" might be a perfect reason for her to be being hauled around by that recovery vehicle. = The Germans built GREAT machines. But machines are still machines, and that bloody sand is never their friend!!! . . . . Maybe give it a bit of battle damage just so the folks back home don't get too heartsick or butthurt???? LOL?
?
? ?I think that I forget if I ever asked if you are RCing the Halftrack as well????
?
? ? I'm thinking that it must just be ME, since I don't recall reading it anywhere, but I've long had the impression that Hitler didn't really plan on going into North Africa. (At least not as early as he did. He planned on going EVERYWHERE eventually!) I think that he was going to leave that to the Italians to deal with but was forced to jump in when they were cocking it up. Even when he sent in Rommel, he seemed very reluctant to provide the Field Marshall with the men and equipment he really needed and repeatedly requested to get the job done. Especially, after the Yanks rolled into town.?
? ?One thing that has always blown me away about the N. Africa theater was the amount of total real-estate that these guys were dancing back and forth over. Sure, it was all "Just One Big Ass Desert", but we're talking about an area the size of all of Europe!!! = That's one heck of a HUGE battlefield!!!!! The largest in history at one time????
?
? ?> WHAT IF < instead of going into Russia, Germany had focused on securing Fortress Europe and then on taking the African continent in total instead??? = Not nearly the amount of resistance or alliances to "Hinder Progress". Yet TONS of raw resources. Plus, it sure would have aided the Japs in their South Pacific campaigns!!!??
? ?Think of the variety of environments that THOSE battles would have been fought in!!!!! = What sort of War Machines and/or modifications would have we seen developed to deal with all of THAT??? === COULD HAVE BEEN pretty darn interesting!!!!?
? ?> IF < they could have gotten around all of the pure logistics and manpower issues! . . . BUT by not invading Russia, I think that the US (Commie FDR & Co.) would have been forced by the American Public to be far more focused on paying back the Japs than saving "Uncle Joe" from a nonexistent threat. Thus, relieving A LOT of US involvement in the whole European theater and most likely, in Africa as well.

I've pretty much turned off the news again. I've had enough of the lies and BS from BOTH sides.

I had to chuckle, we've gone through that tree line BS with a couple different home owners?on one side of us over the years. Well, they are ALL cut down now and a nice 8' high solid privacy fence sits there now. SCREW 'EM!!!!!!!!! LOL Puttering with an old Tamiya "Remote Controlled" Panzer IV to haul on the trailer. I actually got the 1985 drivetrain?to work and the controls are all wired and soldered up. Only problem is the gears on the motors want to slip some.

? ?(Have ya SEEN what's going on over in Jolly Ol' Londontown the last few days??? === BOOOOOOOM!)? ?
? ?And THAT is only provided that we can make it > TO < the darn "elections" in NOVEMBER without getting dragged into somebody else's Three Ring Shite Show!!!!!!! = The way the DemoCommies and Military-Industrial War Machine has been pushing things, I reckon that we gotta take that little sideshow on a week-by-week basis.?
?
? ?Either way, YOU sure don't want to be missing THE SHOW! It promises to be a Real Humdinger!!! . . . . It might even drain off my surplus stocks of popcorn!!! And I've got A LOT of popcorn!!!!?
?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? >>>>>>>>>>>> COME ON SPACE ROCKS!!!!!!!! <<<<<<<<<<< . . . . I'd rather that some FUTURE generations believed that WE went innocently the "Way of the Dinosaurs", and NOT just through our own utter STUPIDITY!!! . . . HEY! It worked for THEM!!! Right???? LOL?

The SS MINNOW 2.0???
? ?I'm sure that it must just be me, but for some odd reason every time I read yet another instalment in the ongoing saga of Boeing's stranded STARLINER and DEIonauts I keep hearing the well-known theme song to that OTHER famous "Tale of a fateful trip/ That started from a tropic port/ Aboard a tiny ship" playing somewhere off in the background.?
? ?It certainly is seeming like the Castaways' short tour has turned into being "They're here for a long long time/" == NOW they may not make it home until > FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR <!!! --- Probably depending mostly upon the outcome of that Congressional Inquiry, the results of those MASSIVE Lawsuits pending against Boeing, and WHO gets to run the government and by extension, NASA. (AND the state of the nation!!!)?
?
?
?
? ?I can't help but wonder that if by then these Castaways will be desperate enough to accept a ride from Komrade Musky or get their series cancelled by the ISS's intended crew and stuffed into a returning Rooskie resupply-turned-trashcan?????
?
? ??
?
? ?? ?"So join us here each week my friends/ You're sure to get a smile/ From two DEI stranded castaways/ Here on the ISS"!!!?

Re: Alive
? ?Well, DAMN, Captain. You're darn straight that you gotta keep hanging around!!! Who's going to finish all of those cool models that you started??? Or help keep all of those dang Xenoes and DemoCommies at bay??? (You see what happens when you're not on watch for just a couple of minutes??? They pick the very worse of THE WORST (Yeah. Even worse than wHitler or Fester!) to try and help the Kackler get elected as Token Puppet Supreme High Muckety-Muck of THEIR DeMOCKracy!!!) Ya don't think that I can continue manning the bulwarks of this last standing bastion of uncensored discourse in the eternal battle against the hordes of Evil MEGACORP DemoCommie Snowflakes and Zombies driving their Greenie-Weenie EV rump-buggies all on my own, do ya???? . . . . Well, not without stripping away the very last vestiges of my own over stressed stripped-gears insanity that has always been in rather short supply from the get-go!!! (You don't want to know what those darn "Voices" have been whispering of late!!!) Besides, you don't want to miss the HUGE forthcoming fireworks show they've been building up on lately, do you??? (Who's going to help me eat all of this darn popcorn? The Mutant Cockroaches???)?
?
? ?So, yeah! The WORLD NEEDS YA!!!?
?
? ?Not to be TOO SELF-CENTERED about it all, but more importantly. . . . . . . >> I << NEEDS YA!!!!!!!!!!??
