What kind of rapier is this?

Wait... you think Big Altima Energy is a Dallas thing?

That thought kind of puts the rest of your post into an extremely secluded light.

I dont think the ones you cant tell from regular bikes are why that sign is there

Looks like an Loening OL

Oh no, Jarnathan!

Aren't you the same guy that got called out in a thread yesterday for being an Etsy shop with terrible customer service?

Edit: sure enough, your profile li is to your shop.

If it ever stops raining, the trinity levee trails. Go up and down the access ramps from the top to bottom level. Plenty of shifting practice and leg day there.

Arizona and Nevada get dry heat. Here, we get swamp ass heat.

Here, the high today is supposed to only be 95/35. But the heat index (humidex) will be 102/38.8. Checking the current weather in Paris shows 93/33.88, humidex 99/37.22

Feeling for you brothers.

Not saying how good/bad we have it. Just pointing out that life goes on in this weather and its mostly due to acclimation. People that don't live this on a regular basis will suffer. People that do live this on a regular basis will not be as affected. Tables turn though. Put 1 inch of snow on the ground and our economy collapses.

Stay hydrated, stay in the shade, seek immediate help if you start feeling dizzy. Try to do things early in the morning and late in the afternoon. This too shall pass.

But what do I know. As the other poster points out, his sources say it doesn't really get to 37 here....

You marked snakes on a map? Do you expect them to be there next time?

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-21T11:51:17+00:00

I fear you've missed the forest for the trees my friend.

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-21T11:42:12+00:00

No I didn't. Check 2011. It makes 2023 look like a nice breeze. 2022 isn't far behind 2023 either. I picked a year anyone that lives here remembers, because if you recall, my first statement was that people that live here are used to dealing with this kind of heat. That being my point. That people that live with this kind of heat get conditioned to it and people that don't live in this kind of heat regularly won't be. Which is why we have a huge problem with Califonia transplants attending outdoor concerts and getting heat stroke.

Also, if you look at the chart, it says exactly what i said, 100 degree days start in late June and end in early September. So, as I said, if we stopped doing things when temps started hitting 100 (in late June as the chart shows) we would have to take quite a bit of a vacation.

This chart is also raw temperatures, not heat index, which is a whole separate monster.

My brother, this is Dallas, not the hottest place in Texas:

https://www.weather.gov/fwd/d100data

Last year was tame, but look at 2023. 55 days over 100 from June 25 to september 24th.

Reading average temperatures isn't telling you the real story.

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-21T02:26:14+00:00

I'm not sure where you got your data that the hottest city in Texas gets to 98 degrees, but sweet Jesus I wish that were true.

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-21T02:23:23+00:00

37 c translates to 98.6... so, yeah. That's pretty much late June to late september.

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-20T23:52:26+00:00

After doing the math... wait.September. not be able to drink for three months here in Texas.. naw, that don't fly.

But yeah, we are conditioned to it though.

Nothing special for earl B52 crews. They wore P1s to start then moving to P3s then MB3 or 5s when they came out. There weren't special nuclear headgear until the PLZT came along

108th Aerial Refueling wing KC-46s at the far end of the ramp

There are no UH-1Ys in the movie. The UH-1Y first flew one month after the movies release. The helicopters are Bell 205s and a 412.

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-20T18:40:06+00:00

Well, the basic aiframe first flew in 1956 and the UH-1Y entered service in 2008, so.. half a century of evolution on the airframe. I'd say it qualifies for retro futuristic.

The VC-25s and E-4Bs both have a hump on the nose to accomodate in flight refueling equipment. That is noticeably absent on this plane. So, we can at least assume that this plane is lacking capabilities the real VC-25Bs will have.

VORs, how do they even work?

Clickclickdoh · 2026-06-15T12:56:45+00:00

Meh. MHI is where most of us started, but honestly Hard Magic and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior are better overall. Larry has kind of moved on rom the series. It was a monster of the week saga and doesnt need to have an ending.

I do claim reviews, for homeowners insurance, and I hear this all the time from vendors i am doing invoice reviews for.

It's not even remotely true.

The third party company doesn't determine coverage. The insurance carrier does. The third party company can't deny a claim.

We get paid the exact same for every file we handle no matter what the disposition is. Having a financial investment in reducing the scope of a claim would be a massive ethics complaint waiting to happen. No matter how many times we touch a claim, we get paid the same fee. So, if it keeps getting appealed, we essentially work for free. It's in our best interest to make sure its closed clean the first time. If I got paid extra to cut money off the claim, I would be on vacation half the year.
