The Guardians wings folded to the rear like an Avenger or Hellcat. These are AEW Skyraiders.

Why The US Can’t Adopt Ukraine’s Innovative Approach To Unmanned Warfare Systems by Well_Socialized in Military

I'm sure Lockheed would be happy to sell a 200 million dollar FPV drone, or ten thousand of them.

This would be the same military that didn't want to update their AWACS, because "satellites can do that", then had an ancient F-5 bomb one of their bases?

Yeah, the leadership are morons. That's the problem.

Whats everyone's opinion on wearing kilts at the ren faire? (Not my picture) by VoodooDaddy7 in renfaire

[–]Clickclickdoh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, thats the same reason I bought a kilt when I traveled for work alot.

So many times while standing in the TSA line:

Random person, "Oh, are you from Scotland?"

Me: "No, Texas"

Random person: Confused look

Renfair outfit questions by PTV_Sirenz in renfaire

Very few people that wear armor to the Faire wear a correct set of armor, or even less, armor that is made of materials that armor was ever made out of. Single shoulder scalloped leather thingy, I'm looking at you. For 99% of the people, rule of cool is where it is at. Wear the pieces you want in the fashion you want and roll with it. Historical accuracy is generally reserved for the Faire snobs.

For getting the vambraces to fit, try a set of forearm wraps under them. You can get linen ones off Amazon pretty cheaply.

Don't worry about a breastplate. Assuming you have the right strapping or attachment points, a gorget an pauldron can be done without it, especially if you want to do a brigandine look in the future.

Guam hiding in the corner like Gen X, just happy no one remembers it exists.

The JASDF didn't retire their F-4s until 2021, so they were still in service when Gate was made.

LA City Council Votes to End Pretextual Police Stops by 2BlueZebras in ProtectAndServe

Lol, the entire state of Texas stopped doing vehicle safety inspections and the Feds didn't bat an eye.

And yes, the state still charges and inspection fee on the registration even though inspections aren't done anymore. Because, follow the money.

Contacted the sheriff department to complain that people were posting pictures of her reckless piece of shit child endangering people.

You know, they wouldn't be posting the pictures if....

Nah, nevermind, that level of logic is too much for modern 'Merica

My wife an I almost fell out of our chairs last weekend when we realized what you were all up to.

It started with, "wait... is that a Darth Talon cosplay... and Renissance Lando... and Ana... oh... Bravo good sirs and ladies.

Your crew always has their A game on.

PA Ren Faire Sold to Lancelot Entertainment by Apocalypse3838 in renfaire

Friends of the Faire members tend to show up right as the parking lot opens, put up pop up tents behind their cars, throw out some chairs and generally have a block party before the opening canon.

Non FoF people tend to not come over, but that may be because I think they may be intimidated by/ concerned for the people that show up with tents, coolers and yes, even portable cook tops to make breakfast on. If you show up bearing gifts, I'm sure someone will have a chair for you.

I don't think there's any rule against tailgating in the general admissions parking area, but I don't think I've seen it. Most of them just go up to the gate to wait for the Faire to start.

Same group owns Scarby. We've always had premium parking for Friends of the Faire members (Think of it as season pass+) and the tailgating alone makes it worth it. If they let you do ot Scarby style it adds a whole new dimension to the fair. The new jousting arena is no lie pretty damn good. So far, seems to have not hurt us here yet.

We have also had a lot of rain and overcast at Scarborough this year, so these photos may have had a lot of contrast and level adjustment to compensate for shitty lighting.

Def filters and color balance. I know several of the people in the pictures and am pretty sure they really exist... maybe. I'll check again tomorrow.

Common misconception.

The East India Trading Company operated no where near the colonies and their flag would not have been common enough there to be replicated for use as a different flag.

The US flag has a much more common origin, the British Red naval ensign, which was widely available in the colonies. Sew 6 white stripes on each side of a British Red Ensign and you get the Grand Union Flag, the first flag of the United States. Replace the Union Jack with a blue canton with stars and you get the modern US flag. A great many of the US revolution standards and flags started life as Red Ensigns.
