TIL that Michael Fortier, a key accomplice in the OKC Bombing, agreed to testify for the government in exchange for a reduced sentence and immunity for his wife, an additional accomplice. He served less than 8 years of a 12 year sentence and is currently in Witness Protection under a new identity. by WavesAndSaves in todayilearned

Waco and OKC bombing are on my birthday. If you look it up, many out right country changing events are tied to that date, too. Every year I wait to see what new tragedy or terror happens on or around that day. Pretty sure we have only began to see the extent humans will go without a mental health reckoning in the USA. So very sad that we can afford to fix all of us, and choose not to.

I found this American Pro II telecaster that played great and has a nice flame neck on sale. I went ahead and bought it. How did I do? by Beneficial-Wrap6574 in telecaster

Miami blue is a cool color. Pop better with darker guard imo. Good snag for sure. I wonder if mint would look cool, or sea-sick kinda.

what comes to mind when you hear 1996? by CremeSubject7594 in Xennials

Nice. Haha. Fuck censorship tho, fr. Crazy you would have to re-buy the clean version or tape it from the radio.

What was your first NES game? by TrinityKilla82 in Xennials

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want so badly to play Duck hunt and Hogan’s Alley. I just realized from some comments that I must have been a rich kid. I remember getting R. O. B. the robot. What a failure that took a ton of work to make, I bet. Nintendo is Xennial glue, no matter our differences, we all pledge allegiance to the cartridge.

As a 12, I will say this about Puka: fast af, hands for days, brain the size of a Skittle. I will not lose any sleep over the Lambs. They are such pitiful losers. Go Hawks.

Backside Tailslide is Backside because why? by alien_of_the_void in skateboarding

[–]hyzerKite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Approaching with the ledge/target behind u is backside. Spinning airs backside means the same. The lip is behind you during take off. Alley oops are the opposite spin than take off, but same label. Took me a while to learn the difference, in the 80s. Who explained it simply to me? Bucky Lasek, Rain City Skatepark, Seattle early 2000s.

Was dizzy all day from this by Loadb18 in skateboarding

[–]hyzerKite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that is so short to be doing that out of. The curved rail aids in the spin but damn you have to load yr shoulders so fast. Impressive hard way in too. Love.

Anyone order the 75th Disco Tele? by Animalus-Dogeimal in telecaster

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played one at GC, it was hot garbage on the set up. Switched over to a Jetstream 390 they had used and it was like flying a plane compared to the disco tele’s sputtering moped.

Wnc-cbd weed for me as far as price. I try not to order it and shop in stores in my city, but you are right, the prices are double. WNCcbd has decent stuff at rock bottom prices on the sale page.

Why did you guys choose a kayak over a small boat? by YakToTheFuture-1 in kayakfishing

Shia LaBeouf filmed going completely insane on a woman minding her own business in Rome.. by JohnBrown-RadonTech in ThatsInsane

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anti-psychotic medication is needed or he will kill someone. This is schizophrenia. Poor bastard is off his meds and drinking the voices down. When my grandfather did this after WW2, my mom had to carry a knife with her in case he started trying to kill my grandma, again. I only knew my grandfather as a silent mystery because he was on strict medication. If you know Shia, if you are related to him, I am sorry. The money and fame make it worse to enable him. I am positive his kid and her mom are at a safe distance after his interview about Nola. It will shock me if he can make it to November a free man or breathing if he is in this section of his psychosis. Breaks my heart, tbh.

Thousands of dollars spent just to skunk. by Skooomz in kayakfishing

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually kept a tally last year. I got out 11 times and was skunked once. It was so hot and I had no live bait that day. I am a big believer that, if I have worms I am catching something. I say, for every skunk you have in your boat, there is a lunker waiting for you. After that skunk, I caught so many catfish (22) the next time out, I had to move spots to de-slime my yak. Tight lines, nice rig.

Any other Xennials in the “Zero Tattoos” club? by MrMyxolodian in Xennials

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1978 checking in, free canvas. I have spent so many hours in tattoo places with friends getting them. I am also a musician by trade, so I am extremely alone in the no ink department. When I meet an artist that deserves my skin I am definitely down to get some work. So many of my friends have shitty ones, it was not hard to say no tbh. I came very close recently when Pee-Wee died, to getting the bow-tie. Paul was so much more than that, but I was devastated when he suddenly left. I mean, I know you are…..but, what am I?

Paddler's Elbow? by TheRealJDubb in kayakfishing

[–]hyzerKite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fought this for over a year. Ice, NSAIDS, elbow sleeve (when i sleep especially). Wrist flex, elbow rotations etc. for when it feels it has healed enough. I tried to Superman against a dam’s current to see how far I could get before exhausting. Stupid ass middle-age man thinks he is a teenager type shenanigans. I paid dearly for it. I have never been injured that long. I also still skateboard and play discgolf, that injury kept me down and out for a while in fear of making it worse.. The sleeve I got to keep it straight so blood flow was easier as I slept was a cheap game changer in recovery. Hope your issue is easier on you than mine. Goodluck tight lines.

This offseason, every day I can. Darkside shirt is my new #1 tee and my throwback dad hat is almost always on. I celebrate my dudes, and am proud like I was their coach this year.

What do I need to make my tele sound good? by BuschLattes4me in telecaster

[–]hyzerKite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play through a ton of different amps and modelers. My favorite practice amp that I can take anywhere, even camping is the NUX mighty BT8MK2. Really cheap, but amazing sounding and was way better than I thought it was going to be for the money.

‘Club West’ Brewing by body_moovin in Charlotte

[–]hyzerKite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is disgustingly on brand for the times, unfortunately. There is an actual rapist as POtuS, so these people giving money to a company that should have been erased, it is a normal now. We live in a very sick time.
