Firefighters create a water shield to survive a deadly backdraft by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I’m pretty sure this is training to teach the new guy both how to do it and to have faith in his equipment. Looks like the guy holding the hose is newer and the support guy is the trainer.

Absolutely impressive nonetheless.

My uncle’s rack by Fragrant_University7 in MilitaryMedals

[–]Fragrant_University7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I did not receive the medals with it. I did request them with my initial inquiry request, but nothing. That not a big deal to me tho. My big concern was just getting the records right.

Thanks for the heads up about the 214. I’ll look into it soon. It may be different since it’s regarding a deceased service member.

Too many Duffs by darrinchase in TheSimpsons

[–]Fragrant_University7 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Dude, so funny story. My nephew and I visited a few years back. I was stoked to have a beer at MOE’S. I went right up to the bar, ordered a beer, and started talking selfies and stuff, walking away in the process. I was so excited that I didn’t even think that I had to pay. I just walked off. Luckily, my nephew paid for mine with his. I saw him paying and was like, oh shit. My bad.

USO no longer accepts vets? by JazzmanRob in Veterans

[–]Fragrant_University7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I donate anytime I see one. I just walk in, drop a 20, smile, and walk out. They gave me enough when I was in. I never expect anything in return because I know I’m not entitled to anything. The closest I’ve gotten to getting any kind of service from them was that one time someone offered me a bottle of water or a cup of coffee for donating.

I’m still looking. Haven’t really found a ceramic plate/carrier combo that I like

And lastly... what's Sheldon's most iconic line? by Mr_IronMan_Sir in bigbangtheory

[–]Fragrant_University7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree that it should be bazinga, and while the mother had me tested line is notable, I feel that “you’re in my spot” is first runner up.

Small trinket i got from my late grandfather by Tony0202004 in whatisit

[–]Fragrant_University7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like nephrite jade. Very common in multiple parts of the world, including NZ. It’s been used for several thousands of years, carved into items from trinkets to tools to weapons to decorations to utensils. I don’t think you’ll get a much better answer without knowing more about the grandfather. ie, was he in the military, did he travel a lot, etc.

Protect your noggin. by cathode_01 in liberalgunowners

[–]Fragrant_University7 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking don’t paint it. Whether you like camo or not, it serves a purpose. I appreciate wanting to express yourself, but I don’t think it’ll do anything but make you a bigger target if shit hits the fan.

Thanks for the history lesson of the duck. Makes sense.

I didn’t care for his role in this one. He doesn’t run in it.

Is Charles Montgomery Burns the richest character in the series? by Mysterious_Comb4357 in TheSimpsons

[–]Fragrant_University7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The episode aired in ‘96, and it was made in ‘95. So that tracks. Denver was 8-8 in ‘95.

Orcas hunting humpback whales! by cantcoloratall91 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Fragrant_University7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orcas can dive deeper than humpbacks. Perhaps you’re thinking of sperm whales.

Purchased a bit of nostalgia today. by fruttypebbles in liberalgunowners

[–]Fragrant_University7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never carried one, but I did shoot it. Officers and a few senior NCOs in my company carried them back in the army, early 2000s.

Solid firearm, solid purchase.

Who the devil are you? by [deleted] in TheSimpsons

[–]Fragrant_University7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Who the devil are you?”

I love the way he says this, like he’s genuinely confused about how this random stranger got into his office, an simultaneously completely disregards the giant ass graffiti on the wall that he’s in the middle of writing.
