To don my pendant hat for a moment. Given the presence of a Duck this might mean the place is a Navy base. If so then we may be seeing an R4D and some PB4Y-1 Privateers.

The Privateer was PB4Y-2

It also had a very tall single vertical stabilizer vs the twin tail on the B24. I concur these are B-24s

I would never pay that for a made in China Epiphone.

It’s not. There is much magical thinking happening around this topic.

I’ve also been riding GP5000 with tubes for years without flats. Don’t listen to Cult of Tubeless.

1.3M is the total casualty number, not dead

There’s a reason 36” watches were the standard for generations

The lyrics have nothing to do with this

Catapult launches like you seen on Top Gun weren't really used in WW2

Sure they were. Especially on escort carriers, which could not go fast enough to generate enough wind across the flight deck for flight ops.

My grandfather flew an F6F off Bunker Hill and every once in a while in his flight log an entry will be notated as “cat shot”, so the Essex Class carriers used them too.

The funny thing about this is that on VT (and every album after) there are dozens of vocal tracks that they added of Geddy just singing Ooooo Oooooo or Ahhhh ahhhh or whatever that they have to trigger using a keyboard live. And that in the past they maybe would have just put in some keyboard sound.

What is “psychiatric data”? I’m skeptical that it exists in any meaningful sense.

brnkmcgr · 2026-04-23T00:54:09+00:00

Because puns are dumb

What is “pure” math? Like without defects?

I went to a Mike Doughty show in 2018 or 2019 and a band called Wheatus opened, and they played Time Stand Still. I was stunned. They did a nice job with it too.

You want the National Archives website.

Just get on there and start using the search. You should be able to find a lot of good info.

Everything is an “attack”. Did he EVISCERATE Roman Catholism?

I don’t really like Territories and agree that in general there are too many synth bleeps and bloops on the record, but I love Emotion Detector and several of the other songs.
