  1. Its going to be a GLORIOUS day in Chicago today! Sunny blue skies and temps in the high 40's! w00t. Thinking about going shopping for a new couch.
  2. MQ-9 is capable of being armed with Sidewinders. We should try that.
  3. It was probably a ploy by the US, using the MQ-9 to hack the Garmin taped to the dash of the Su-27, sending false navigation information to purposely cause the crash.
  4. Huh, I guess that works. Doesnt the Su-27 have a canon? Hilarious that Russia is denying it while being completely unaware that it has cameras on it.
  5. Dallas cut Zeke.
  6. A man of your means should be stacking 1 kilo bars like Fort Knox: Buy Kilo Gold Bars | JM Bullion™
  7. My guess is the wing, else the debris would be sucked into the air intakes and FOD the engine. Interesting that dumping fuel on it didnt work.
  8. SEE! Fatcats are going to run us into the ground again! Thats why I started buying 1g gold bars. Theyre silly small, and you have to watch the price fluctuations for the best deals, but they stack up over time. I was going to put them in a treasure chest (Amazon.com: Wood and Leather Treasure Chest Box Decorative Storage Chest Box with Lock | Handcrafted Decorative Boxes with Lids for Home Decor | Wood Box with Lid | Small Chest | Wooden Stash Box : Home & Kitchen) but common sense won out and into a fireproof safe they go.
  9. Garoppolo to the Raiders. Imo, Jackson is too injury prone.
  10. We better start pocket watching for the bonus these CEOs get at the end of the year. Twitter rage, ASSEMBLE!
  11. @Keyrock Just fyi: Heart Water - Does Bottled Water Go Bad?: Water Expiration Dates (drinkheartwater.com) @Gorth I have the same second from the bottom USB drive and I hate the thumb slide. @LadyCrimson In case you havent notice, recently insulin was capped at $35 / dose (or is it bottle?). Finally.
  12. Amazon.com : Membrane Solutions Portable Water Filter Straw Filtration Straw Purifier Survival Gear for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency, Blue, 4 pack : Sports & Outdoors Bottled water is too heavy.
  13. @Guard Dog Welcome back! We decided to replace one of the ceiling fans, which is normally a nothingburger, but this fan was attached to an 18' ceiling with a 5' down rod, which turned this job into a somethingburger. I have 6' of scaffolding, and I borrowed another 12'...and then I sent my buddy up to the top to connect the wiring. I dont mess with anything I cant reach from a 6' ladder. Its done and looks great. 60" wingspan, LED lighting (so I shouldnt have to climb up there to change bulbs) and apparently its "smart" if I download their app.
  14. USAF Testing 'Mutant' Missiles That Twist In Mid-Air To Hit Their Targets (thedrive.com)
  15. Yeah I dont recall seeing GM since the last time this topic popped up.
  16. Over the holidays we were gifted an 8-pod hydroponic grower: FIRINER Herb Garden Hydroponics Growing System - 8 Pods Indoor Gardening System with LED Grow Light, Plants Germination Kit with Pump System Automatic Timer, Adjustable(19.6") Ideal Gifts for Women (amazon.com) (ideal for women? wtf?) and one recent drunken night we decided to set it up. We bought seed packets and set up basil x3, cilantro x 2 and Beefsteak tomato x 3 and Im happy to report that all but one cilantro has sprouted! But I also had a lot of leftover seeds so I drunkenly wandered around the house placing Beefsteak tomato seeds into a bunch of other various potted plants my wife has around the house. Loe and behold! 10 more Beefsteak tomato plants have sprouted in those planters too! So I guess Ill try to corner the market on Beefsteak tomatos. *It makes me lol to say Beefsteak tomato.
  17. I should get one of those abdominal shockers and see if I can zap my way to a 6-pack. I dont have much bodyfat there so maybe electrocuting my way to more muscle mass would yield results. Maybe another one for whatever that muscle group is that gives you the pelvic "V" too.
  18. Maybe riding the Jungle Cruise attraction at Disneyland in the early 70's left an indelible impression on my wee mind.
  19. I know its not the case in SA, but whenever I think if Africa, my mind instantly conjures the image of being on the African Queen, riding down some river, dense jungle to either side, was that a rustling in the bushes!?, suddenly darts are whistling through the air crossing the deck from both sides!, arrows and spears make a thud as they stick into the deckhouse!, in the distance...an ever present sound of drums. Fade to black.
  20. I dunno man. I saw on the news that Africa has the highest percentage of blow dart violence of any continent in the world! Does the SA UHC provide free access to tree frog antivenom?
  21. Slow cap on the reference.
  22. Immigration / asylum = potato / potahto. Cant get in legit? Then suddenly claim oppression. Its genius! I myself have felt oppressed for over half a century and I would be open to greener pastures. Can anyone recommend a country with the following criteria: UHC, UBI, an average temperature ~80F, I dont have to learn the language, and ridiculously affordable housing? So far I can only come up with Cancun, and to a less affordable extent, Cabo. I dont think they have UBI either but I could probably let that slide due to the significantly lower cost of living.

  24. I cant believe I watched that whole Soulja Boy video...it was hypnotic.
