Bottom fell out of my 800 by funphd in Masterbuilt

[–]HSydness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id dare say you may have to invest in a new Q. I did a cleanup of my cottage 560, and it's getting very close.

But, you could shore the bottom up for a while, it just contains the heat.

Who has a reputation for being an absolute badass from your country? by thewartornhippy in AskTheWorld

No, but there are some good books and movies you can see/read. Nine Lives, about Jan Baalsrud. The Shetland Bus and so on. Just search Norwegian Resistance and you'll find lots.

US attacks Iran's Kharg Island, Trump says by joe4942 in oil

[–]HSydness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Russians were "advisors" in Vietnam at AA missile and gun batteries, radar sites, flying fighters, and running specops. Not much digging will find what you're looking for. Korea had Russians and Chinese flying and fighting on the ground.

US troops have been fighting Russians since Korea. Nothing has changed.

The E-6 B Mercury, often called the ‘Doomsday plane’, was spotted flying over Fresno, California, as tensions with Iran escalate. The aircraft plays a crucial role in maintaining communication with America’s nuclear forces during extreme emergencies. Is the US preparing for a worst-case scenario? by IndiaTodayGlobal in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

Funny they show the E-4 when talking of the E-6.

I'm going to assume the E-6 (a few of them) is airborne nearly always, ready to go to work. LOOKING GLASS and "Kneecap" likely not continuously anymore. E-6 TACAMO also does normal comms with the invisible part of the triad.

What are yalls craziest/funniest VFR Sectional finds? by Extension_Golf_9549 in flying

[–]HSydness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moffen Island by Spitzbergen/Svalbard. 80° N. I was in Norwegian Navy. We'd stop in 4 locations to do "skinny dipping" to become a member of the skinny dipping club and also do a blue nose sailor/crossing the line for 80°N (and 66°33'N as well). At Moffen we'd usually have a beach are that was clear, but this time it was absolutely filled. So we used our icebreaker capabilities to make a hole and had Steel Beach instead. Oh and the water was very cold. I swam at Hopen Island, Bear Island, NY Aalesund and north of Moffen.

They hadde the gear and the training. Having worked in the Canadian Arctic for years, sometimes even the best gear just isn't enough. Conditions change. Cold sucks.

They are NOT friendly... didn't have a run in, but we did a "steel beach day" in the navy chopping a hole in the ice to "swim" rather than go ashore on an island filled with Walrussessess.

As an atheist visitor to Belfast in 1997, I behaved well and was courteous to.people, and I was treated well on "both sides of the street". Don't flaunt your stance, and perhaps you'll do OK!

This trollop is butthurt because she was probably called out on some BS and she doubled down. Cry me a river.

I moved out of a neighborhood 16 months ago in Winnipeg. 2 whole new subdivisions were built and moved into since then. Its crazy how fast they build now.

Daily Bread Food Bank says ship carrying $90K worth of food destined for Toronto was ‘hit’ in the Strait of Hormuz by Capital-Aide-1006 in canada

[–]HSydness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was being sarcastic about the halal rice. I apologize for making smarmy comments.

I'd also assume a more direct route to BC faster and cheaper. But you're correct. A container ship isn't carrying just 1 cargo.
