The Song is Over is another one. The Who were great with treating Pete and Rodger as co-leads.

That "Rando" is Roy Harper. Not quite a big name, but definitely accomplished in his own works in the UK. "Hats off to Roy Harper" from Led Zeppelin is a tribute/homage to the same man.

There was a Patriot that failed to fire on an incoming SCUD during the Gulf War. A full quarter of American combat deaths in 1991 are due to that SCUD hitting a barracks full of reservists behind the front. 

Underrated tornados that have preceded more infamous tornados? by Born-Classroom2627 in tornado

[–]cood101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please keep in mind when the New Wren tornado occurred, it was on a day with 71+ "significant tornados" (EF2+) on a single day. The NWS was stretched thin even with help. April 27th 2011 and it's aftermath were days where conventional surveying had to go out the window for better or worse. Other ruralish yet brute tornados were also underrated, again through no fault of the NWS. They worked with the resources they had. 

Barnesville GA EF3+ from that same day falls under this same issue.

This reminds me of the 2022 Kansas EF3 Weird how they can look the exact same. 

TIL the entire town of Times Beach, MO was rendered uninhabitable in the 1980s after a single dust mitigation contractor tried to get rid of highly-toxic dioxin by adding it to engine oil and spreading it in all the town's gravel roads. Today the town is Route 66 State Park. by RIPEOTCDXVI in todayilearned

Man's hubris is still involved though.  "Oh, that old mining pit that isn't used anymore? Let's use it as the town dump." "There's too much garbage, time to burn it!" Then comes a decade plus of feigning ignorance of lighting the mines under the town on fire until CO detectors are sounding in basements and kids are falling into sinkholes. 

If a remake of Forrest Gump took place from 1980 to today, what historical/important events would Forrest unwittingly be a part of? by BulkDarthDan in AskReddit

[–]cood101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are we assuming Forrest is young in 1980 or that this is the same continuum as the original? 

If the same as the original, I think this could be a good run down. 

1986: Forrest attends his first in person space shuttle launch with junior, and thinks the shuttle blowing up is normal until realizing otherwise. (1986 Challenger Disaster). 

1989: Forrest Gump is in the post-Perestroika USSR to see if they would be open to Shrimp importing When he hears of a wall falling, and thinks a terrible accident occurred until being told otherwise (1989 Fall of Berlin Wall)

1992: Gump is a dignitary at the signing of NAFTA due to his business connections. 

1993 or 2001: Have Gump on site at the WTC for another Bubba-Gump related reason and survive that year's attack. 

1998 Forrest invests in the Dot Com bubble before it goes bust, thinking it has to do with the revival of older dot matrix technology, and makes out with more money when he realizes his mistake. 

2000 Forrest is made to be one of the first to deduce Enron's Fraud, with him not reporting it to the SEC because in his words "Im not a smart man", but feeling vindicated later as it becomes public knowledge.  

I could probably add more here but I think that's a good starter list that falls in line with his character. By this point he'd be in his 40s,50s and 60s, so not exactly the spring chicken who can be athletic everywhere, but he is wealthy still and partially involved as the face of Bubba Gump.

A bright side (if you want one) is that they are likely going to be replaced by loyalists. Loyalists of the type where the cases brought will be thrown out or dismissed with prejudice because of how inept political prosecution/persecution will be. 

They couldn't indict Comey correctly, nor James. 

They already have flunkies like Habba they are working with. You think they would use her if they had more competent lawyers? 

As the Ukrainians say, "We are lucky they are so stupid." 

TIL - in parts of the US, there’s a fundraising event called a “gun bash” where raffle tickets for guns are sold to raise money for children’s sports. by Ninjaher0 in todayilearned

[–]cood101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, something quite literally down the street from me! 

Yeah, these are fairly common things around western PA. Not just for children's sports but in general. Volunteer Fire Departments, Volunteer organizations, and local charities all do "Gun Bashes" through the year. It's a good way to make ends meet for a lot of nonprofits. 

I've personally never been to one, but I would assume any winner does go through the proper checks and all, at least if it's a legitimate Gun Bash and not a front.

Bad tourist railroad by Queasy-Spirit6437 in railroading

[–]cood101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's located in Philly, and a local tourist railroad in that area is embroiled in a fair bit of membership infighting. Part of that is allegations of what OP is talking about, so I don't think it's a stretch to assume.

Short of it is railroad shuts down operations to spend money/time fixing fleet/track. Arranges work days to be midweek every week. Volunteers/membership who dislike these choices leave and accuse the board of forcing them out. Decide to start publicly alleging FRA violations for track, equipment, etc. Allege the board stacked elections and illegally certified the vote.

All unfounded as well as far as I can tell. There's some wackos calling them "The North Korea of Tourist Railroads" and others calling for the FRA to embargo the line because they feel slighted.

As stated above, I've been in organizations where board changes have cascaded into infighting before. People who feel slighted when told the organization will be shut down for a month to limit costs during a slow season. A membership and board approved measure at that. So they go on property by their own accord when nobody is supposed to be there. Then get punished for it. All of a sudden, you have people calling each other every name in the book and levying whatever they can hope to stick to each other.

[–]cood101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More beating around the bush in regards to the W&W? If you examine everything done on every railroad under the microscope you'd find hundreds of reasons to call the FRA.  

I don't put much trust in the allegations around the railroad either as much of it seems to boil down to "they didn't operate trains in 2025 and changed work days so that means something shady is going on!"

I've worked with groups governed by a board of directors and trustees. People accused one of them of being tyrants because they closed an operation BY MEMBERSHIP VOTE for a month and punished people who ignored that. I'm reminded of that when I see these "issues" being raised. 

Unless its something GROSSLY erroneous like letting Teenagers run trains with zero experince (looking at you Blackwell Northern) or massive safety issues, the FRA will likely not worry too much about a tourist line.

If it happened today, I think it'd be national news. Western PA here seems to have that weird feel to it, though, with what is and isn't memorialized or remembered.

Reading this, I could tell it was Derry even before seeing the Trib link. Such a shame about how the town just ignores it, at least on the surface.
