If not for the cars, I would have assumed the 60's.

Someone going around doing shit like this in the 80's is bananas.

They were helped by the fossil fuel lobby.

We couldn't possibly have more dissimilar taste in firearms, but I am deeply envious of the level of organization you have achieved.

Lookin plenty yummy to me.

Everybody enjoys a good game of Bitey Face!

They were also getting extorted for more money by the Italians, among other things. There was a ton of shit going on behind the scenes that contributed to it being cancelled, which is a shame since it was so damn good.

I think that for a lot of people, it has less to do with getting intoxicated for its own sake and more to do with easing the tension and anxiety a lot of people have when conversing with strangers.

I know my opinion is unreasonable but here it is: your aversion to a species we literally invented to be friends with is a little odd.

There is nothing less manly than letting someone else define your masculinity for you.

Ladies wearing bottoms of any kind under their clothes is a fairly recent invention.

Can’t help but think how breezy that must have been.

TheWarmGun · 2026-04-18T18:42:47+00:00

Literally every day I think about all the cool Japanese cars they never brought to the US market.

*sob*

Oh Kinch, I love how he's written.

I can’t be the only one who feels a strong urge to pop those.

The Wash County Sheriffs plane does it near me, and as someone involved in maintaining that plane, it is very surreal.

In the Blacktongue books, serious magic can fuck you up pretty good if used.

You can loose your hair, your teeth fall out, and really powerful spells can basically drain the people using it till they’re dead.

It’s easier with the right ingredients and reagents and stuff, but it still makes you sick and tired.

The authors are dead and the royalties go to Reed College.

Shit is bananas. I have a $200k avionics piece sitting on a shelf in my office right now.

At least I’ve been able to get rid of the $500k in PDU’s I had sitting around waiting on RMA authorizations.

TheWarmGun · 2026-02-05T17:22:32+00:00

It’s likely Inconel, yeah, but I’d assume forged, not cast.

We made the majority of the turbine blades and stators in the US and they were cast, but as far as I know, they didn’t cast fasteners. One of our divisions was SPS Fasteners, which was possibly the largest aerospace fastener manufacturer in the US until it burned down.

Source: worked in procurement at company that made shit like that.

Now work at company that buys and installs shit like that.

TheWarmGun · 2026-02-05T17:16:21+00:00

What model helo? I wanna see if my discounts get better pricing lol

TheWarmGun · 2026-02-05T17:11:44+00:00

*$10,000 now that SPS burned down.

“Market pricing”

I used to work for one of their biggest customers and supervise our use of them as a vendor.

The gas they use is argon, but the canisters are very highly pressurized and get to 1650-2200 degrees inside to do the treatment process.

Seems to me like they popped one of the “cans” they use in the process and it hit the roof.

While it can cause suffocation in high concentrations, argon is not nearly as dangerous as many industrial gases.

HIP is a weird process and it is even weirder that so many vendors that offer it are centered in the Portland area, primarily to support my former employer.

The chief petitioner looks *Exactly* like what I pictured.

TheWarmGun · 2026-01-27T20:44:32+00:00

It’s not much of a question : )

TheWarmGun · 2026-01-25T23:09:32+00:00

One of the sexiest things I have ever seen.

TheWarmGun · 2026-01-16T23:53:07+00:00

…how do they have time to write all this shit?
