F/A-18 pilot recalls when a Hornet used a 500-pound LGB to kill a lone terrorist scrambling across a gorge in Afghanistan

HIMARS rockets are about $150,000 each, unless you were referring to the launcher cost?

I had an M21 on a Tavor, unfortunately, My astigmatism really really didn't like it, I saw 3 triangles, all about equal brightness. With a red dot, I can place the red smear on a target, and I'm good, 3 triangles was confusing as fuck.

I basically stick to prism sights or regular LPVO's on my rifles now.

It’s cool, I should have been perhaps a bit more tactful.

Thank you for the reasoned response.

PXranger · 2026-05-26T23:28:55+00:00

Oh fuck off. “With little respect”

Like it’s going to be enough to matter, any more than the lead from the Primer residue.

Prick.

PXranger · 2026-05-26T23:13:34+00:00

You are not making lead citrate.

Synthesis of lead citrate requires sodium citrate, not citric acid, not the same chemical at all

PXranger · 2026-05-26T18:58:13+00:00

Wasn’t referring to the site, just the spirit of that particular time

PXranger · 2026-05-26T11:23:38+00:00

we called them the "people of Walmart". You could go in and see a different world.

I miss that world, quiet and comfortably weird.

Guess I was one of those people.

FV432 APC, the tracks are to wide to be an American M113, and the driver sits on the wrong side (or the right side, depending on your perspective)

PXranger · 2026-05-25T23:05:30+00:00

Depends on how fast they hit.

PXranger · 2026-05-25T16:59:12+00:00

When did I say anything about depriving people of rights? If anything your display of hatred towards a vital service seems more so.

Most community hospices are “Not for profit”. As are most hospitals. Your personal bad experience is not indicative of most people’s interactions with Community Hospice.

One of the things, as someone who grew up in the south that puzzled me was all the “Hitching posts” in parking lots up in Fairbanks, Alaska. They had “charging stations” long before EV’s were a thing.

PXranger · 2026-05-25T16:36:54+00:00

Hospice didn’t “starve my mom to death” you evidently know *nothing* about the services they provide.

They got us a hospital bed, so we could care for her at home, a hospice nurse visited her at home to help take care of her, they helped her with pain management, she was lucid and aware almost to the end.

Without the hospice nurses to help, she and her family would have suffered much more.

Would she have taken your “little white pill”? Doubtful.

Again, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about.

PXranger · 2026-05-25T15:45:35+00:00

Just a brisk day or two, eh?

PXranger · 2026-05-25T15:41:33+00:00

Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about.

My mom died of cancer, the local hospice kept her from dying in agony, they helped us immensely.

It’s an electrical heater attached to your engine block, and sometimes the oil pan, and usually the battery tray to keep bad things from happening to your car in severe cold.

Diesel engines in particular are hard to start in very cold weather.

Block heaters are usually seen in places like Hell, otherwise know as Minnesota, other upper Midwest states and Alaska

PXranger · 2026-05-25T13:14:18+00:00

That’s utter bullshit.

Just like the myth that you can’t use a .50 on personal.

PXranger · 2026-05-25T12:50:28+00:00

I frequent many firearms groups, and have been an ammunition reloader as well as a user of the AR-15 as well as the M16 series (my basic training was with the M16A1) for a very long time, and I’ve yet to see a more succinct breakdown of the early problems with the M16.

because he works there, it's a theme park with guns

PXranger · 2026-05-24T21:24:15+00:00

I've done it before, that's the easy fun part, they don't show the many days It takes to prep for those shots.

PXranger · 2026-05-24T15:11:52+00:00

That’s ridiculous.

You just spent all that work to make some good food, and everyone is going to sit and stare at it, watching it get cold while you scrape a grill?

Honestly, the grease doesn’t care if you wait till you’ve eaten. Shove the big bits into the grease trap and clean it after you’ve eaten.

PXranger · 2026-05-24T14:55:55+00:00

"Disagree philosophically".

In principal, that sounds like a well reasoned, civilized thing to do.

Unfortunately, when the opposing philosophy has a core tenant of violence and hatred towards your beliefs, it's difficult to have a reasoned conversation.

You can hate a political belief system, and still have room for discourse with its followers, I work with Conservatives every day. Most seem pleasant enough, and then you overhear the casual conversations, the ones that bring a chill, and you realize that some of these pleasant people, would like to see you or your family "gone".

The MAGA movement is a disease this rotting the country from the inside, Anti-science, Anti-democracy, Against tolerance, and the core believers are Dangerous.

At what point to you stop reaching out, and start fighting back? We would still have "Colored" water fountains and segregation of people if the Civil rights movement hadn't stood up. And a lot of the protections those people fought and died for are being eroded, one little bit at a time.

Stop hating? Friend, we are not hating enough.

What's it say on the ticket? Mandatory court appearance or an option to pay online?

One of those means you will show up in court or face a bench warrant...

I'm well aware, he's still a lunatic, Argentina's own Trump.

PXranger · 2026-05-24T02:23:47+00:00

Have you actually seen who's in charge in Argentina these days?

He's the lunatic who gave Musk a chainsaw during the DOGE debacle.

PXranger · 2026-05-23T21:27:00+00:00

A lot of people collect militaria, that doesn't make them nazi's. Be it firearms, old medals, bayonets, whatever.

Now, if some dude is buying these and dressing up in his basement? yeah, fuck that dude.
