that was the best!
I know right - Heart + the choir, they did a really great job IMO. Even with that song, which used to to be played so much on Calgary's rock radio station that I grew to HATE it. This arrangement though...pretty damn well done. Those ribbons though...I'd have refused to put that shit on if I was them.
Agreed, the award ribbons are atrocious.
My favorite perk ride was the 163 - it always always so much fun to do an HQ defense against a bunch of bombers.
There was a map where when one side got close to winning, the losing side's 163 bases were in range of the oncoming enemy bases grabbed, so you could do a quick zip into the middle/combat area between the 2 fighting bases, fly around and fight for 5 or 10 mins in the 163, then toot home. Using a lot of throttle modulation, you could cruise at 250 mph or so easily at low alt, then boost yourself around in fights, then zip home. It was great, I remember flying with Grizz, Kappa, and a couple other Muppets doing that, I still have the film, one of the best fights and times I had in AH. It was a low alt area with a lot of terrain/hills/mountains, and the bases were really close together...such a gas. Way more fun than the 262 IMO, although that was fun often too.
Back when I was doing steroids I gave myself a lot of injections that were IM.
One thing you haven't mentioned is doing a pull back. Once the needle is inserted, you should pull back on the plunger slightly, and check and see if a lot of blood enters the tube part of the injector - this will mean you're inside of a vein with the tip of the needle, which = bad as it'll waste your shot most likely if it goes directly into a vein.
So, insert in a good location, perform pull back, no or only a miniscule amount of blood showing (pull back is only about 1/4 of an inch or so in the size of injector I was using), and if none is seen, let go of the plunger, it'll return to flush on its own, then press the medication in. Depending which muscle, you can also pinch it from as low as possible when inserting the needle.
Once you figure out good spots that you aren't hitting blood vessels/veins at all with, you can dispense with the pull backs IMO, I never had an issue with 100s or not 1000s of injections over the years back when I was young and foolish (more foolish anyway).
Are you a fan of Alexander Nevsky Boroda?
I think Sergei Eisenstein was a great director. Despite his hair.
I think Vanilla Sky is the one popular Tom Cruise film I've never seen. Every time Sluggish mentions it I remind myself to watch it, and always seem to forget to.
Where is the archive? I looked under the archive tab, every label there, and none were newer than a couple months old.
Boroda, what is the "talk" like in Russia among the people about this war?
You've lost a LOT of people, and a ton of your best military equipment. So has Ukraine.
Are average people pissed off? Motivated to fight more and take Ukraine and give it back to the Soviet New Russia? Or are the people wishing for it all to end?
How is your Brother doing?
That's right, I forgot he lived in Ottawa growing up. Crazy small world. Seemed like he was getting his shit together, had been sober since 2021 last interview I saw with him. I hope they find nothing in his system, be a good "fuck you" to all the media you know are just hoping the tox screen comes back with something positive.
The should have turned the slag from the statue into flechettes. I'd happily air drop them on the next leftist/whatever parade/protest, supporting whatever outrage they've thrown in with this week.
Boroda, you carefully avoid shooting your opponents too. A-C-C-U-R-A-C-Y mustn't translate into Sputnik.
Display MoreAmmo surprises me as an investment. I have some Norinco 7.62x39mm that is worth a pretty penny today since it's been embargoed for so many years - same with all the Wolf spam can ammo I got for like $90 a can. So even the aforementioned "lesser" steel case ammo shocks me as an investment - it out performs the premium stuff (!).
I still say you should have min 6,000 rounds of every caliber you shoot as a deep reserve - that's a daunting figure nowadays, but it wasn't 10-15 years ago - hopefully you all stocked up.
I should thank Lazs for impressing in me the value of stockpiling components for reloading - I went full-in when Bush was still president thanks to him. I'm laughing now. I picked up so many fucking .223 Hornady green zombie bullets when they came out (got them on deep discount - nothing to do with the zombie thing it was just an incredible bargain for premium bullets).
I always said guns are basically "free" - the real cost of shooting is the ammo.
For sure, 90% of your $ when it comes to shooting should be ammo/training. The one thing I don't have great stocks of us reloading capability, figuring I have more than enough in common calibers I both shoot and would use for currency. I should really get set up to be able to cast my own bullets and stock up on powder/primers, although I do have SOME of all the above. Being able to melt wheel weights or whatever and convert that into projectiles isn't a bad capability to have.
Yeah? Well I could open my own store at this point with what I have.
Just keep getting more. I had 250,000 rounds that was all personal (not in company inventory) at my highest point, 1/2 of that being .22 (since I was in my early 20s I always bought 1 brick of what I was going to shoot, and another to store so far as .22 goes). You can never have enough, it'll never lose its value, and in the future it could be number 4 on the list after water/food/shelter in terms of a useful commodity. I used to collect a LOT of silver and a fair bit of gold, but in recent years decided that despite making a lot on my gold, and silver being inexpensive to invest in, ammunition is and will be a much more useful thing to have to trade/barter with.
I was going to upgrade my 2nd PC to the new 14900k, but with it being so dismal and not any faster than the 13900k I have in PC #1, I went with the 7800X3D too. The AM5 will still be used for the next couple/few AMD upgrades to this CPU, while the 1700 Z790 is done now as of the 14th gen Intel. I went with 6400mhz RAM as it wasn't any more $ due to a sale, and an MSI X670 Tomahawk MB, but otherwise pretty similar. Identical AIO cooler as yours, 4090 GPU as I had another one other than the one in my main PC, and I put in a 1200 Seasonic PSU with the new ATX3.0 12 plug for the GPU. LianLi full tower case, big shortage up here on Corsair cases, and I almost re used an older 750 Corsair I had in a box.
I'm really happy with it, AMD chip draws SO much less power, runs cooler too. I have a couple 27" LG 4k 1ms Gsync 144hz monitors and an Alienware 34" OLED 1440p that I'm using between both PCs.
^ LOL.
-Sluggish, congrats, really happy for you, and it's much deserved, truly loved your show, I'll be tuning into the next one tomorrow night.
Hey Rabit, have you seen any vids/footage of Hamas fighters clearing Israeli structures room to room? Heard the media blather on about how pro they were at this, but I can't find anything to judge that myself.
I thought you were fantastic. I'll tune in anytime to listen, for sure.
2nd request - Alone by Heart, if you can slip that in sometime.
If that happens globally it will become time to reckon with the leftists.
Heh, my father and I were just discussing this 30 minutes ago - let it be so.
Display MoreObama and Biden gave Iran billions of dollars. These fucking Democrats always want to cozy up to Iran for some reason. Probably kickbacks for the big guy?
There's no reason to be a friend of Iran. Iran is an enemy and they state that over and over again. Yeah these dipshit brain dead fucking horseshit pedophile Democrats always want to cozy up to them.
They are our enemy and they're out for our destruction. They would destroy us if they could. So we should destroy them.
But the world is in for a really bad situation coming up soon. A lot of it is brought on by displays of weakness. Starting with Obama taking the "lead from behind' horseshit that he made up. Basically pulling back and letting a power vacuum exist..
Biden is a floundering fucking brain dead pedophile. He's going to get us into a war. He already has basically.
And 80 billion in weapons to the Taliban, who have been in contact with Hamas obviously over this recent attack specifically, there are articles around regarding the Taliban supporting Hamas with fighters and weapons.
Hundreds were killed at that festival.
250 bodies as of this morning.
Fuck all of Hamas. Unrestricted warfare.
My cousin's son has been in Israel for a month out of an 11 month stay with the Zealous project, part of the Bridges for Peace project. They are a Christian family, not Jewish, but my cousin's son Jonah felt compelled to do this. He is essentially a volunteer that delivers food to the needy, mainly older holocaust survivors, sort of a mobile food bank. Right now my cousin and his wife are going out of their mind as there is comms disruptions and they've only heard from Jonah once. That part of my family his little experience with war or law enforcement (which is the entirety of the other side of my family). I'm sure he is fine.
I hope they stomp Hamas hard this time.
