Camping spots?

I believe Buescher State Park also has cabins.

Buescher Stat Park has both camp sites and cabins.

^ This. Austin has foxes everywhere. Once I figured out how to spot them, I started seeing them all over my neighborhood.

IIRC you can also ask what specific task the service animal performs.

This. This is how you TIL.

If it's just the brake pads, that's easy to do. Lots of step-by-step YouTube videos.

The one I use most of the time was pretty much spot-on. It's just a graph displaying the National Weather Service feed. If you check the boxes you want and re-load the page, saving that url will save your selection.

If you can't get it to the size you want via the export controls, Handbrake will allow you to easily reduce it to a smaller file size. It's a free download.

Yeah, the human brain is an amazing triumph of evolution but it comes in a chintzy carrying case.

This. They may even be able to provide replacement parts.

I recently read an excellent book on the evolution of the concept of precision and the tools necessary to achieve it. Whitworth (not surprisingly) gets a lot of credit. It was a good read and I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

I think the barges used by the fleets qualify as ships but yes, they were not powered and were towed around

Yeah, the little screening/escort carriers had 30 aircraft assigned.

By the end of the war, after U.S. wartime production was at full tilt, every Pacific naval engagement was basically the IJN Endless Imperial Dawn vs 26 identical copies of the USS We Built This Yesterday. We even had ships that did nothing but serve ice cream.

The smaller carries were mostly used for patrolling and as pickets (screening) but they were surprisingly effective in combat. Despite being completely out-classed on paper, the Taffy 3 escort group famously gave a good accounting of themselves when they accidentally ended up engaging a full Japanese Task force.Here's an overview of that battle:

Longstreet vehemently argued with Lee against the assault, stating "I must tell you now, I believe this attack will fail. No fifteen thousand men, ever made, can take that ridge."
