Are ground forces trending towards obsolescence as war drones become more prevalent?
Posted by weagle1999 on 3/27/26 at 11:16 am
Watching a video of a drone fly into a house and around a corner to kill a soldier seems like a good indicator that the rules have changed.
Sorta like how the end of the Civil War predicted the trench warfare of WW1, I think we are seeing signs of a very different style of combat in the future.
Plus consider the propaganda aspect of such videos. A couple of films of American soldiers getting blasted and the public would start yelling loudly.

Sure. I found a contact with a guide in Iceland and will be hunting with him for (3) days in the north of the country. I haven’t talked specifics yet if it will be field or water hunting. It looks like they have many of the same species as here with the addition of eurasion widgeons and tufted ducks. Should be all wild birds.
Almost all of my trips center around bird hunting or fishing.

I was planning a bird hunt in Turkey next year (first visit) but flared off for awhile due to the Iran stuff. Maybe 2028.

Interestingly, you will notice on many flights that there must always be (2) people in the cockpit.
Ex: Co-pilot goes out to the restroom a flight attendant takes his place in the cockpit while he is gone.
One wonders about the training class for the FA that has to watch over the pilot or co-pilot in those instances…
Also, you will see the drink cart turned sideways in the aisle with an FA bracing it sometimes when the cockpit door is open.

If we were completely serious about airplane security we would be profiling people.
But, TSA probably is as much a jobs program as anything else.
Eliminate the TSA and go back to private security and give them a free hand. I believe 9/11 was a failure of government more than private airport security.

I flew into Providence, road tripped across CT, MA, VT and went grouse and woodcock hunting in northern New Hampshire a couple of years ago.
I really liked Portsmouth.

I walked around Buenos Aires a bunch wearing these recently:
They have them in different colors
Honestly though, nothing beats On Clouds for walking on pavement all day long in my experience. But they are sneakers obviously.
I also have a pair of these that are comfortable, Only problem is the white sole will get dirty in a city:

Going to Iceland in September
Posted by weagle1999 on 3/24/26 at 6:11 pm
Going for duck and goose hunting. And also to explore.
I assume that Reykjavík is to Iceland like Anchorage is to Alaska: Fly in and get out of the city and into the countryside as soon as possible. Accurate?
Any tips? Will be driving across the country to hunt in the north.
Thanks!

I found a single mitten laying on a fence after a snowstorm
Posted by weagle1999 on 3/21/26 at 8:27 pm
Made in a factory somewhere overseas it was put in a box along with many others and then removed again to be paired with a same but different mitten that became its partner. They became a team. And then they were split up somehow in a moment that I can never know about when one was lost. The partner was likely discarded and is now gone forever because of the separation while the lost mitten was first found by another passerby and placed on the fence with the hope of reunion.
I passed by this week and the snow is long gone but the mitten is still on the fence under the shade of a tree. Waiting.

it means Jews, right?
For instance, the merchants who ran the slave trade.

There would be more dignity for you if you just admitted that you are uncomfortable examining your own beliefs, or engaging in critical thought
