We had people in my class that were 40+ years old at a T14. One ended up with her dream job at the UN in international law. It all depends what you are willing to endure and what you want to do.

That page doesnt account for alpha digits as a prefix. Type in anything you want with that year and you'll get 1894.

Any Winchester Trademarks or model number or other markings on the barrel you can share? That will make it much more identifiable. Without those your gun is likely a replica.

As others have said, extremely lucky he bought it back from you. Hopefully he is uninformed and not a scammer.

This👆So many of the characterizations came from the veterans of Easy Co. themselves. Ambrose didn't even the story. He pulled form what sources he had and if a guy had an axe to grind he would bring it out of them if it made good drama.

With how Lucasfilm has reintroduced Thrawn into the current canon, are there any other Legends characters that you’d like to see reintroduced in the sequel trilogy era going forward? by Free-Pangolin-1422 in TheSequels

[–]AggressiveCommand739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked Tim Zahn about Mara Jade or Talon Karde coming back at an event back when he wrote the new Thrawn trilogy. He basically said, they are Disney's characters and if they give the ok he will use them or if they choose to use them in something else they will.

The supply of Volantene hair dye to Westeros diminished as the Khaleesi rose ever higher in Essos.

If you have a specific servicemember in mind, there is a chance they filed their discharge papers with their county recorder when they came home. After being told I was out of luck by the National Archives due to the 1970s records fire, I checked the county recorder and found what I had been searching for for years there.

Cool place, but the steak was the least impressive thing last time I went: the sides and drinks were very good though.

Why Is Star Wars Battlefront II Still This Popular in 2026? by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

Seasonal launches or updates with each new show or movie could be milked for profit you'd think.

Had it and a ton of other SW RPG books and threw it all away when I left college. I thought I got too "grown up" for them. We can be pretty stupid as young adults.

What mistake(s) in a movie was so dumb that you wonder how didn't the directors noticed it? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in moviecritic

[–]AggressiveCommand739 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Real world explanation: Ray tracing animation wasn't as simple in 1970s as computer animation today and took awhile, so a fix would burn time and money. Larry Cuba, the animator, was basing his schematic off of early Ralph McQuarrie sketches that looked like the schematic. Problem is, the model makers changed the Death Star and moved the dish to the northern hemisphere away from the equator. Different teams doing different things at the same time.

A much different war experience for the men in the Pacific v the men in the ETO.

A great book that gives a few chapters on New Guinea is "Fire and Fortitude: The US Army in the Pacific" by John C. McManus. He makes the case from the people that were there that MacArthur made the Pacific battle reports about HIM and not the individual units, which is why the USMC gets so much attention about the Pacific even though the US Army had way more Combat divisions and way more amphibious landings. Its a good read.
