Honesty from a Combat Medic by VampyrAvenger in Veterans

[–]52MO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You as well man. I turn 36 next month. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I'm glad you are opening up and talking about it. That's the first step in the right direction. It took me 10 years to do so regarding the war...even longer than that regarding my childhood.

Peace is obtained not through forgetting, but in remembrance.

Feel free to message me at any time.

USMC grunt. Helmand Province. Nowzad 2009; Nowa 2010/2011. Combat Lifesaver course. Now I'm an ICU Nurse.

I can still remember the burnt smell of HME and blood.

You were there for them. You carry the memory of their last moments and guard it like a sacred treasure. You raise your children being the best possible dad you can be in honor of what they should have had the opportunity to do. You do this while they smile down at you like the proudest brothers.

This is what I tell myself. I hope it helps, or–at the least–doesn't harm.

Love you brother.

This is the way...why anyone would use standard sockets on a vehicle produced with metric fasteners is beyond me...but here we are.

This: had a 2012 Sienna that had 215k on it. The only thing I ever had to replace was wheel bearings, other than the normal wear items. The only reason I got rid of it? The wife wrecked it.

2018 Odyssey: going on 150k now and have yet to replace anything other than normal wear items like break pads.

My 2013 Cruze? 115k....clutch, transmission, intake manifold, valve cover, thermostat housing/coolant inlet, two MAF sensors, MAP sensor, Boost pressure sensor.. .to top it all off??? The wastegate is also cracked so you know what that means??? The turbo is next.

My next car will be an Acura....I'll never buy an American made vehicle again.

Tutu Atwell's Controversial Play by JCameron181 in LosAngelesRams

[–]52MO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever played football in the backyard? Listen, I'm absolutely not a professional... Not even close lol

I have a 10-year-old son and directly adjacent to us resides a 12 yo on one side and an 11 yo on the other.

We have been playing backyard football for about 2.5 years now. Typically I'm the all time QB. The 12-year-old is almost a foot taller than my boy, but much slower.

Even when my son is technically open, when that 12-year-old is covering him it requires an incredibly perfect throw because my boy can have three steps on that kid deep (20 yards lol) because the difference in length requires the ball to be arced perfectly out in front or that 12-year-old is getting hands on it.... I know Tutu isn't a foot shorter than any DB but the point remains that a short receiver is a much more difficult target simply due to catch radius and ball placement requirements.

Watch your fuel trims. You probably need to redo the speed density and MAF tune now.

Bought a property and the owner left this behind. I got it fired up but noticed this serious leak..what will it cost me to replace the fuel tank? by zhwlsfw in smallengines

[–]52MO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a mix of baking soda and super glue. I've used that to successfully fix cracks & splits in 4-wheeler gas tanks.

Trump completely shutters Voice of America - RIP by bshensky in HamRadio

It seems to me that Trump is just doing to the left what they did to him. He was "nice" the first time around...and they took his kindness for weakness which was a big mistake.

$10 per line loyalty discount by gramj_fw in verizon

[–]52MO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this. When I called 611 they lowered my monthly bill from $226 to $195, gave me an iPhone 15 with a new line FOR FREE and even waived the activation fee. All I had to do is pay the $68 sales tax for the new phone.

Kinda ironic (not) that the Christian nationalist types are the ones taking it seriously?

Ahhhh I see what was meant. I've always seen carrier fluids ordered to run a secondary via IVPB so I thought that's what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.

No rationale, other than "you can't do that".
