That isnt even the one I am thinking of. I think the one I remember was a show on HBO Max about this state of the art research vessel that were tracking Sperm Whales. They had followed them to their nursery waters and had several of the rigid inflatable hull boats and a damn helicopter watching two separate pods of Orca work together to drown this baby Sperm Whale. And the whole time the mother whale was doing her damndest to keep that baby at the surface.
Just awful, man. :lol: :wah:

One of the saddest things I have ever watched. I couldn't be a camera operator on a nature doc like that. I would want to intervene somehow and save the poor baby.

My MIL has Borderline Personality Disorder. It is insane the shite she put her daughters through. After many years, I finally had it drilled into my wife's head that no matter what she did...No matter how many times she bailed he mother out of a terrible situation...No matter how many times she tried to help her mother out with this or that, she was NOT going to change her behavior.
She saw me be a bit harsh with her and not give in to the manipulative BS her mother would try a couple times before she got the courage up to do the same. She now sees her for what she is and has to have an arm's length relationship with her. Her two other sisters haven't escaped her psychotic grip and I feel bad for them.

Read the rental agreement very slowly and make sure you understand everything. There should be something in there about who is responsible for repairs.

Depends on your location and what kind of team they have running the local facilities. FedEx is great for me while UPS and USPS are absolute dog shite. I even know my FedEx driver by name because I once met him outside to tell him he did a great job.

That's great. So glad the community was able to help you and your dad out in a time of need. Sounds like he is a good man and father and the type of guy who deserves such blessings.

Field mice disabled a number of tanks that were held in reserve near Stalinggrad one winter. They had hidden the tanks under piles of hay and the mice got in there for warmth and chewed through everything they could. When the Soviets started their counter attack, one of the Panzer divisions was ordered into the fight and a bunch of their tanks wouldn't start and 250k-300k Germans were encircled at Stalingrad.
re: CMP announces upcoming sale of surplus M14 rifles

Darth, I am pretty sure I have seen you post that you live around the same area as I do here in NE AL. I know for a fact that the CMP has had a warehouse about the size of a small HS gym slap full of these M14s in the area for several years now. The guy who owns the shop I work at is involved in another shop with refurbishing M1 Garands and M1903A3 for CMP. He was supposed to get in on the M14 project but he ended up doing the "M1 by CMP" project. That is the new M1 that is made from castings instead of stamped receivers.
I have been wondering when this was going to be announced.

This is my first time in Destin in 20 years. Can one get into any of those bars without having to wait for hours?
None of them, but Fudpuckers are a bar/restaurant. Harborwalk is a hub of dining/drinking/shopping that is bound to have some young, rich talent walking around. Crab Island and the public beach are just that: beaches/water recreation areas.

Just gotta treat for months, it subsides slow as hell.
This just reminded me of my coworker the other day. He went to his doc to get a biopsy for a spot on his face. He also had a pretty big wart on his hand. They removed the wart, but told him if it came back they have just discovered a new treatment: he is to soak the affected area for 30 minutes a day for 18 weeks. :lol:
Google AI says the "trashiest" places in Destin are Crab Island (can confirm), Harbor Walk Village, Fudpuckers and the public beach access near the jetties (also can confirm).
Happy hunting.

That is an obviously fake video since it is way too clear and sharp for the time. But Apollo 12 did suffer two lightning strikes. The first was actually cause by the vehicle itself due to static discharge. The crew didnt know what happened and for a period of time, during their ascent, the fuel cells and pumps were knocked offline due to the voltage discrepancy and the entire craft was running on its batteries. One guy remembered a single scenario from flight simulations during training and made the call that probably saved the crew and the mission.
quote:
The Electrical, Environmental and Consumables Manager (EECOM) in Mission Control, John Aaron, remembered the telemetry failure pattern from an earlier test when a power loss caused a malfunction in the CSM signal conditioning electronics (SCE), which converted raw signals from instrumentation to data that could be displayed on Mission Control's consoles, and knew how to fix it.[65][67] Aaron made a call, "Flight, EECOM. Try SCE to Aux", to switch the SCE to a backup power supply. The switch was fairly obscure, and neither Flight Director Gerald Griffin, CAPCOM Gerald P. Carr, nor Conrad knew what it was; Bean, who as LMP was the spacecraft's engineer, knew where to find it and threw the switch, after which the telemetry came back online, revealing no significant malfunctions. Bean put the fuel cells back online, and the mission continued.

Yeah, she doesn't seem to be having any issues. I figured she would be fine with all that she has eaten before. I just heard my mother's words about cooked bones and Google AI said the same thing. Just figured I would see if any of yall had any adverse experiences.
8hrs in and she is doing fine. Crisis averted.

re: Beef or Pork ribs
Posted by IAmNERD on 7/21/26 at 7:04 pm to travelgamer
When considering the price if I am buying and cooking...pork.
I prefer beef ribs if someone else is buying and cooking.
