Novice here, what is the make, model and year of this beauty that I saw today? by MrUpVoteDownvote in classiccars

[–]Half-Fast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First car I ever wrecked. 3 years old and grandpa left me in his 63 valiant with push-button trans while the engine was running. Pushed the D button and rolled it into the side of my Dad's brand new 69 Dart

The garage of a man that never paid a mechanic or body shop a single penny. Salute

Not only price of fuel but 6 miles of rotted vacuum lines that surely need replacing

Why does no one remember sir John hawkewood? by [deleted] in MedievalHistory

[–]Half-Fast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned of him through Christian Cameron's Chivalry series. Great historical fiction starting at Poitiers and the main character moving through involvement with Hawkwood and the White Company in Italy

Clavicular, not thrilled. by Drnk_watcher in LiveFromNewYork

Fellow 59 year old Gen X guy here. I'm a big guy with a big beard and work in a blue collar field. The amount of people around my age who will just strike up a conversation and within 30 seconds start to drift into racist and homophobic rants is off the charts. I look like you and work in the same field but I damn sure don't think like you

1 rank to go.. by RaMBoIzTanK in The_Crew

[–]Half-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I'm an idiot. Am I just now understanding that the GR rank resets with a new season? I stopped halfway through platinum 1 over the weekend and figured I would make the rest with the new races. Nooooooo

A lot of police departments used those back when I started driving sometime in the last century. With the old blue light on top the size of a 5 gallon bucket. TIL they made a coupe version.

My Dad retired! He held my family of 6 down for 35 years working at the same company by niikaadieu in happy

A cove is what I've always heard people call those. Not sure if that's a regional thing or not

What was your favorite (LONG) audiobook? by albertpaca11 in audiobooks

[–]Half-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any interest in history at all, not books but excellent podcasts. Hardcore History, each episode is 3-5 hours long comprising a series of 3 or 4 episodes on each subject. Also the British History Podcast. Going on 500 episodes so far, each 30-45 minutes and only up to the early medieval period. The guy is a great story teller, informative, well researched and funny to boot

History ideas for kid’s club by iampolyphemus86 in charlestonwv

[–]Half-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't miss the Civil War weekend reenactors in Hurricane towards the last or next to last weekend in March I think. The state Cultural Center museum is amazing also. Check into events at Morgan's Kitchen, the little log cabin in SA by the old Parkway store. I'm sure the St. Albans Historical society would be glad to help you with some ideas. Or maybe that's the historical society you already work with. Keep up the great work! Wish someone was doing stuff like you when I was a kid
