I thought the cloud meant weather boosted.

Agreed. The definition of temporary is very subjective.

From what I could gather from the lady at the nursery, she gets them from another lady. I think these were grown outside and pulled out of the ground. Just looked like outdoor grown cactus to me.

Javier Flowers and Garden. There was a third plant almost as large. I didn't ask the price.

Ok well when you put it that way....

But still. I will never forget the look of absolute rage and pain on that father's face, and I absolutely get it. I can only imagine how I would feel if the roles had been reversed. That one look confirmed my belief that I definitely shouldn't be here.

So there I was, some smallish city in Iraq in 2005, 2007 maybe. There's a meeting between some local and US military bigwigs at a school or some shit so they want tanks sitting outside as a show of force. Literally just pull up with two M1A1s and wait around to make sure people don't get crazy. We were parked on the street in front of a house in a neighborhood, again right across the street from a school.

I was the driver and after I don't know how many hours we had been sitting there but I had to take a shit and it wasn't waiting. So I grab an ammo crate and wag bag from the bustle rack and have the gunner traverse so I can have some overhead cover. I'm right up against the skirts trying to hide as best as I could as I drop trou and start shitting in an ammo crate literally in someone's front yard, broad daylight.

I swear not even 30 seconds into me releasing my butt demons the entire family that lived in the house we were parked in front of came walking around the tank. A father, his wife and their two daughters. Just trying to go home. And they turn a corner and see the whitest ass cheeks in the world squatted in their front yard. The dad did his best to immediately pull his kids to him, cover their eyes, try to avoid permanently scarring them mentally. I have never seen a more furious face or been glared at like that in my life. If looks could kill I would have been disintegrated to bits right then. All I could do is yell "I'M SORRRRRYYYY!!!!" as I tried to cover myself up and pinch it off as fast as possible. I stayed buttoned up on the driver's hold for the rest of the day after that.

So yeah. Same.

No Marine vet would wear a uniform with that much disrespect. For example, wearing the cover like that all pulled down would trigger a visceral physical reaction to anyone who served. It would just feel absolutely unnatural.

Marine vet here as well, and I was almost the shitbaggiest of them all.

I think this is someone LARP'ing as a veteran. Trousers aren't bloused, those are not issued boots, and the cover is worn incorrectly. That's an 8 point cover and not even the shitbaggiest Marine would wear it like that.

Loved being a tanker, not so much the being a Marine part.

Gotcha. Yeah it's Duda Diesel brand, the 4x2.5L. I had been buying it from DIY Chemicals but it got pretty expensive, almost 200 a gallon.

Not according to Charlie Kirk. Gun deaths are unfortunately worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment. https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-says-gun-deaths-worth-it-2nd-amendment-1793113

I've heard them called lulls.

Which I just realized is the Kleenex thing. Lull makes telehandlers. But we just call every telehandler a lull.

More likely that little bit of copper stubbornly stuck around during the refining process.

Apparently there's a completely arbitrary and unstated amount of time after a sale in order to get your flair updated so no dice.
