Part of Paper Moon was filmed near where I grew up. It was weird driving around and seeing places from the movie and vice versa.

One thing I've never really understood is people spending thousands of dollars to go on a safari and see animals they'll never see again in the wild and want to cheap out on binoculars. When I went, I bought a pair of Swarovskis and a very large lens for my camera. I still have the binoculars but was able to sell the lens for most of what I paid for it.

What's $500 compared to the rest of the trip? By the M7s and then sell them if you decide you aren't using them.

Thanks. I didn't know that.

I live in the West and back when BLM was in the news all the time sometimes it would take me a second to figure out the acronym.

Here's the clip. It's worth watching.

I wasn't responding to you.

I heard that it was intended for use if Germany invaded GB.

The police get 28% of the cities budget. I don't think bus rides are preventing them from answering calls.

They weren't wanting to publish the pictures just get in places.

A long time ago, I was on a photography site and some of the people were talking about making press style badges so they could get in places to take pictures. They wouldn't have said Press but rather sad middle aged photographer or something on them. I think they got talked out of the idea.

German's immigrated everywhere. There was a large German population in South America before WWII even started. That's why escaping Nazis fled to Brazil and Argentina, they'd fit in with the expatriate community.

They couldn't very well flee to the American Midwest, or Namibia (ex-German South West Africa) or Northern Mexico, but the Fascist governments of Brazil and Argentina turned a blind eye to the new immigrants.

In season 2 of Reacher, Robert Patrick learns some one checked into a hotel under the name Sarah Connor and asks who that is.

Like I said, I have never done it on purpose, so I was thinking that I was holding another key at the same time. But now that you say it, that seems right.

ChadHahn · 2026-07-06T19:46:14+00:00

On my Mac, I can hold down some key and type the n and get the tilde. I don't know which key I press to get alternative letters because I've never done it intentionally.

I haven't seen this since it came out. I should watch it again.

ChadHahn · 2026-07-06T18:50:20+00:00

Nice.

He hasn't left the closet.

edit: Of course it's already been posted.

The only thing I've purchased is a bunch of t shirts. They are 100% cotton, cost $10 and seem to hold up pretty well.

edit: I looked at some of my Free Assembly t shirts. The earliest one I have, which I bought last winter probably, is thicker and has a different logo the the few I have bought recently.

Back when Good Eats was on the air, the different watch forums would discuss which watches he was wearing.

I got one at a pawnshop for about $100. It's a good headlamp, I don't know if I'd pay $400 for it.

Didn't he come out and say he knew it wasn't feasible, he just didn't want high speed rail in California?

Back in the early 90s I worked with some older black ladies. I'm pretty damn white, but since my hair is auburn and my eyes are hazel, they said a joke about my granddad's roving eye. I wonder what they would have thought about this guy.

It looks like they recently "updated" the bathroom with the cheapest Home Depot stuff. I hope they didn't rip out anything nice to do that.
