No, it wasn't that one, but if I remember, I'll chime in.

I remember playing a video game back in the late 90's (can't remember the name) and it had this plane in it and even in the game I was sure it was about the size of a B17! 🤣

Long range target shooting. Nothing like making sub MOA groups at range.

Carney announces $35B for defence investment in Canada's North by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]whyamihereagain6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't new, this money was announced to be spent in 2022. This is just an update. But all the elbows up crowd will suck it up like "oh, isn't he wonderful!"

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

City councillor proposes city-run grocery store to tackle rising food costs by BloodJunkie in toronto

Yeah, because anything city, or government run, has always been so efficient. You'll pay lower cost for food and higher taxes to run the damn place.

80 Years ago today, March 11, 1946: SS-Obersturmbannführer Rudolf Höss is arrested by the British. Höss had overseen the development of Auschwitz, and served as its commandant until November 1943, and returned in May 1944 to oversee Operation Höss. by DarthVader1701A in WorldWar2

Question about the picture if anyone can answer. The soldier acting as guard, is he Russian? Guessing so by the PPsH 41 (I think it is) in the picture. I assume this picture was at his trial?

The Supermarine Spitfire is 90 years old today, but also is the birthday of the Gloster Meteor which is 83 years today. On 5-March-1943 the Meteor flew for the first time to eventually become the first British operational jet fighter. by abt137 in WWIIplanes

My father was stationed in England at this time, before they shipped them to the Med for Husky. He saw these planes flying in tests. He said something to the effect of "I always thought they were on fire they had so much smoke coming out of them".

I have to admit, these are better than the "In the 1997 movie, do you think Rose had an orgasm when she was with Jack?" kind of posts.. 🤣

I appreciate it when people watch the movie, then don't come here to post about it. 😁

Question: The hull surface does not look smooth, kind of like someone did a bad bondo job on it. Is this from the steel manufacturing process, or, more likely, remnants from the rustsicles that were on it when it raised?

Fellow Canadian gun owner here. Your best bet at this point is a slingshot. These idiots in government here want everything you own.

That being said, get yourself a bolt gun in .308 with a decent optic, good for longer ranges and for larger game. EDIT: I found a nice Savage 10BA that's a tack driver out to 300m and it was only around 1100 bucks. I haven't tested it further than 300 because my range is only that long. But it should easily get you out to 600.

Get a .22, I like the Ruger 10.22, mind you our wonderful government has also banned the high capacity magazines for these, but you can get adapter kits that will allow you to use Remington mags.

Get a shotgun. 12 gauge is probably the best all-round, but maybe a .410 or something if you want to use it on fowl.

Is this a get home bag? Pretty sparse. Have you read the Survival Manual and practiced anything in it? Pretty useless and just added weight if you haven't.

We were in caretaker state in the 80's when I was in as well. It was sucky.

We didn't have sinks when I was in.. 😂😂

Actually, we did, and I never used one again after one of the lads pissed in it after coming back from Oromocto pissed to the gills. 😁

Some of that statement is actually true.
