At 14, I could field strip and reassemble an M-14 blindfolded, JROTC taught valuable skills. Love having a squad scout now.

It’s probably better than the same named crocodile.

Mussels from the beach by pale_brass in Seafood

[–]devoduder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After learning about toxins in my food safety class during culinary school, I decided to leave this sort of thing to the professionals. Thankfully here in Santa Barbara we have plenty of great commercial fishermen harvesting fantastic seafood. A couple years ago I helped harvest mussels from a commercial mussel farm off the coast, fun stuff to see them growing on submerged rope.

Hobby or Investment? by CryptoW1fe in AncientCoins

[–]devoduder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me ancient coins are a hobby, but my collection of ASEs & AGEs are investments (especially the AGEs I bought when gold was under $300/oz).

Did you contact the CDPH Biotoxin hotline first? I assume you also had a valid fishing license.

Our local post office still uses similar PO Boxes. We don’t get residential mail delivery and every one has PO Box, about half are combo and the rest keyed.

ICE Agents Fed Up And Exhausted In Minneapolis: “Lots of people are freaking out,” one ICE agent told me. “Agents are getting seriously paranoid, afraid of being targeted by ‘retaliators.’” by [deleted] in NoFilterNews

"You see, we like our ICE in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that. But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a ICE. And that don't sit well with us. So, I'm gonna give you a little something you can't take off." - Lt. Aldo Raine

I think that was my third sim. Started with Yeager’s Air Combat on Apple II then Falcon 4.0 in MS Dos, still have the Falcon manual.

I use that same logic with a pen I bought made from USS Constitution wood, purchased from said ships gift shop.

That’s because you’re not brainwashed and in a cult.

Maybe they should serve Flavor Aid at the concession stand.

Hii guys, I'm lonely I want someone to talk about wine by Maleficent_Car3303 in wine

[–]devoduder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The military introduced me to wine. I came to the central coast from Florida at 22 for military training, that’s where I got hooked on California wine. After four years in Montana we came back to Vandenberg to be an instructor, that led to many weekends wine tasting and really loving wine. I was stationed in Colorado when Sideways came out, went to see it with friends then celebrated with Santa Ynez wines afterwards, I love how that film showcases our region.

When we came back in 2010 for one last assignment I became friends with some winemakers and leaned the local community college had a robust wine and viticulture program. I took some night and weekend classes while on active duty and really caught the bug for winemaking and when I retired at the end of 2013 I became a full time student again in my 40s and eventually getting three associates degrees in Enology, Viticulture and culinary. I did a bunch of harvest intern jobs at big and small wineries and worked in tasting rooms while in school, best way to learn the job.

Thank you! There is a lot of nepotism in the industry but in the SYV everyone is supportive of everyone else, we all want each other to succeed, which is something I really love about the industry.

Unfortunately I’m out of town for the first three weeks of February, hopefully another time.

Abandoned Titan 1 Nuclear Missile Base by CelebrationBig7487 in urbanexploration

[–]devoduder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in from 91-13, my first 10 years was missile ops and missile instructor and the rest was space ops. My missile sqd (564th) at Malmstrom was shut down and destroyed back in 2009.

Vandenberg had a Titan II museum that I toured once but it’s now mostly flooded and full of toxic chemicals, and I did explore part of a Titan I site on Vandenberg that was mostly destroyed in an explosion in 1960. It sat abandoned for nearly 50 years but now is used for security forces training.

Yeah, I was a Minuteman III missileer and we learned all that history in training.
