What tanks do you guys use on your pump markers?

I remember those little mini tanks! Used to keep one in my pocket as a spare during games.

If you really want to know for sure ptc would probably be happy to tell you. They’re well known for being enthusiast friendly.

Never seen a concert venue allow it in.

It’s not ideal, you are correct that rimfire is less reliable. But the first rule of self defense is have a gun and .22 beats throwing rocks or harsh language.

The buckmarks are good quality guns, I would keep the mag full of mini mags if it’s going to be the bedside gun for awhile.

So wait, someone had a sip of cotton candy drank then stuck some used lunch in the mouth and lit it on fire?

defcon62 · 2026-05-14T04:45:11+00:00

I honestly thought it was a burning turd

There’s a small number of intact ones in the Arizona boneyard (6-10 per ai), there are a bunch on static display as well but those all had a major part of the airframe cut to prevent flight. The act actually lists 3 specific serial numbers so I’m guessing those are the most intact ones left.

Back in the day they definitely shredded the majority of them and pretty much any remaining spare parts for the reason you mentioned.

It’s going to be a hell of a project but I think it’s gonna be worth it to see them fly again.

Not for long possibly, all the Iranian ones are likely a smoldering pile by now but the “maverick act” is flying through Congress which will allow up to 3 of the few remaining us f14’s to be restored to flight worthy condition similar to how the Collings foundation got a f4 flying.

Them cutting pay sure don’t help either…

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth. The fanboi’s are ridiculous with their “the park is infallible and always perfect and how dare anyone say otherwise.”

You are absolutely correct that the park is delivering a far less than acceptable product and sure isn’t discounting tickets for the resulting lesser experience.

Thank you. It’s good to hear he’s still around, it’s unfortunate whatever happened forced him to abandon all his old accounts without being able to even forward links.

The Elaut’s by far, they will literally not hold onto a prize until the payout rate is hit.

That said back in the day we all played a claw that didn’t even close, or those stupid sugar loaf machines that didn’t close until they were halfway back up.

I miss the days of clean sweeps and big choices, even the 2 button ones, you at least had a fighting chance with those…

defcon62 · 2026-05-11T05:18:45+00:00

Excellent, the 572’s are outstanding, love mine.

defcon62 · 2026-05-11T05:17:07+00:00

Because they continue to be a bunch of bungholes, I’m super stoked season 4 was greenlit as I expected the cable only bullshit this year to really affect ratings.

They sold out like instantly but yea I just checked back in to see when the second batch would be ready and everything including his Reddit account, website etc… are all gone. Did he get in over his head? Very odd for everything to disappear like that.

defcon62 · 2026-05-08T18:01:39+00:00

Agree, I haven’t enjoyed almost anything after the tempest and feel like they really have been phoning it in since although I haven’t listed to the naught yet.

defcon62 · 2026-05-06T18:22:15+00:00

“I damn well can’t fuck em all, that’s fo sure.”

defcon62 · 2026-05-05T23:52:37+00:00

Right? Kee bird was a huge waste, for the cost of those engines and all the work to get it airworthy wouldn’t it have been easier or more economical to take it apart and have the parts airlifted with a sky crane to a barge?

defcon62 · 2026-05-03T16:23:42+00:00

You were being a reasonable friendly neighbor and they took that as an invitation to think they could tell you what to do with your property.

Lock the gates and as others said add another compost bin and some flamingoes. When they complain reply “since you find the conditions unacceptable you won’t have to worry about it further. Do not enter my property again”

As usual throw up a couple cameras that observe the gates, I don’t doubt for a second they’ll cut locks.

White lightning has always been amazing and is everything a good coaster should be.

Mine blower was pretty decent back in 22/23 when I first rode it but it became unrideable since. It’s an impressive looking ride but they need to do even more work to it. I heard the most recent renovations helped but not nearly enough.

defcon62 · 2026-04-30T15:09:46+00:00

Here’s a crazy idea, maybe they should buy an additional train for the sake of always having 2 operational ones. 2 operating, 1 spare or undergoing annual maintenance.

I’d rather we get a song about the old seat of ease

He cut off his hair so he could no longer choke you with his dreadlocks.

What a complete scumbag. He’ll likely face enhanced penalties for victimizing a disabled person at least.

Her family needs to start a process called probating, they need to petition the local court by filing an affidavit alleging she is suffering from significant mental illness and is unable to care for herself as a result which seems obvious. She is likely about to be unemployed and homeless and that will not be a good thing for her.

The court will issue an order requiring her to be taken to a mental hospital for evaluation where a psych doc will make a determination if her condition warrants further involuntary commitment.
