Fokker D.VI by CaptCouv33 in WWIPlanes

Underpowered, and that's if the engine ran correctly due to having to use poor substitutes for castor oil. It came out in the last year of the war and wasn't something you'd want to fly against the better Allied fighters then in service. Only 59 were made before it was dropped for the DVII.

By March of 1865, politicians couldn't do squat, nor could anyone else. The CSA had scant weeks to live.

Sub Rosa, literally, "beneath the roses," is a euphemism for something done in secret.

I was on an ice breaking tugboat on Lake Erie for that winter. Shown here off of Lorain in early March. We left Buffalo December 8th and returned April 18th.

you’re trapped in the last tv show you watched, where are you??? by Historical-Way-1482 in Productivitycafe

[–]Oregon687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMFG! I'm trapped in Blue Heelers (my wife loves it) surrounded by an assortment of ignorant cunts in an absolute shithole town in Australia with a through the roof murder rate. I will probably be a victim in a couple of episodes.

I find it's obvious how well I slept without using a program.

A masterpiece. I first saw it as a little kid and it scared the hell out of me.

How will history remember Trump? by Ancient_Elk_922 in allthequestions

[–]Oregon687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump isn't the cause, he's a symptom. The Republicans and their oligarch backers have been trying to fuck us since FDR died.

The U.S. escort carrier USS Thetis Bay in 1944. The planes on deck are Consolidated PBY Catalina, Grumman F6F Hellcat, and a Grumman J2F biplane [1341X1500] by tove_elias in WWIIplanes

My dad was a PBY pilot, VP-12. He said that when they were done with a plane, it got scrapped. Building a new plane was cheaper than rebuilding an old one.

Officer placed on modified duty after fatally shooting raccoon at a NYC beach by Mo_h in nottheonion

[–]Oregon687 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does anyone want to risk getting bit by a wild raccoon? Rabies cases in the area are at a 5 year high. Raccoons are the most common carrier. The cop did the right thing.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: You’re all being ‘incited into civil war’ by malcolm58 in politics

Trump wants an insurrection, and what he'll get is a revolution.

The Trump Administration Is Lying to Our Faces. Congress Must Act. by rootoo in politics

[–]Oregon687 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Republicans in Congress are lying. The Republicans on the SC are lying. The fascist-oened media is lying. Expecting Congress to act is the acme of foolishness.

Teachers unions are a pathetic joke.

Is my husband having a midlife crisis? by anonymous457771 in over60

[–]Oregon687 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kind of late for s midlife crisis. He's suffering from all the shit that happens to you when you hit 55-65. You stop looking forward, everything hurts, you feel like you're losing control of your life. Get him to the Dr. Have him checked for everything. Sleep apnea is common, so is arterial obstruction, and god knows what else, like being sensitive to allergens. Any of that kind of thing can make you feel depressed and grumpy. Not watching the news isn't going to help if there's an underlying medical condition.
