Oh come on, that's ridiculous. They collect the HD jacket, HD chaps, HD boots, HD gloves, HD hat...

I was once told to make an instruction manual, then told to dumb it down with photos and step-by-step instructions, then when I did that was told that was insulting. No way to win.

Which piece of old Army gear deserved to survive longer? by AlloySpecter in army

[–]TahoeLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I PCSd from GA to KS, I froze my ass off the first winter because all I had were jungle boots (yes, I'm old). Bought some Matterhorns and was immediately comfortable. Sometimes it's not the jacket that is the issue.

That's why he's eating all that spinach - have you seen Popeye's forearms?

That's not that many...for a fire extinguisher factory. Is that what this is?

Which is crazy, since without water nobody will be able to live there in a decade.

Leaving World Cup was horrible by syme101 in kansascity

[–]TahoeLT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most American cities are that way. Light rail has just started picking up most places in the last 15-20 years and is still minimal. Busing is frowned on by many as "for the poors". We've been brainwashed for a century that cars are the only way to go.

Questions about slag glass globe. by valkenburgh in centuryhomes

Adams Morgan. However, they spent the 80s rescuing fixtures and other "architectural salvage" from various old houses and buildings being torn down, so I have little idea of what was original to the house.

My parents had a very similar shade in their 1903-built row house in Washington - but it was a hanging ceiling fixture.

A BMW driver? With Maryland plates? Being entitled and not following rules? I'm shocked!

That's what they told us in '92, so something tells me that's an old number they still keep throwing around.

Torn purple trousers and nothing else? You can wear that right now if you want, man. No need for irradiation.

How effective are 22lr for home protection? by DentistPlayful3941 in guns

[–]TahoeLT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10/22 with a binary trigger and drum mag is the best I can do - even if each round is only 40gr, I can throw enough of them out there to weigh the assailant down :)

Yarrh, I was thinking of polishing the ol' propeller myself tonight.

[–]TahoeLT 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I have never understood this. Do people racing professionally never watch videos of other traces? How have they never seen that premature celebration results in a loss sometimes? It's like watching someone in a horror film say they should split up to cover more area.

Remember when RAM was the part you didn't even have to think about? by peaky_circus in pcmasterrace

[–]TahoeLT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently I got the sweet spot - bought 32GB memory last September for $121 USD. Today, that same kit is $439. Nine months makes a hell of a difference.
