I wonder what the heck is going on here? Evacuated, FBI on the scene and local police/authorities being kept in the dark on what's going on. I just watched the movie Signs last night for the first time. I wonder if I need to put on the protective helmet from that movie? :biglaugh...

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Senator McCain The family announced Senator John McCain was discontinuing medical treatment for brain cancer. Fair winds and following seas captain! My heart goes out to the McCain family! And my sincerest gratitude for a life of service to this nation! I...

This dude is nuts... and yet a legend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDEgFbBNDqk

Cool video of David Grohl playing a ton of instruments in a 23 minute rock instrumental. But what I enjoy is how the first 10+ minutes is really showing a musician at his level still has a lot in common with that kid just learning to play. Great video and I really loved the instrumental as well...

Never knew that movie existed. Gonna have to find it and watch it!

I want to be fly on the wall for the interview with the person who hired the job opening writer. Manager: We're looking for someone who can post job openings we have available. Main question: How's your spelling? Applicant: Prty dcnt. Manager: You're hired!

From what I understand while the US is China's biggest export, it counts for roughly 18% of their exports. 18% will be felt, no doubt, but 82% of their exports not depending on US trade seems to indicate to me they can absorb that pain. The American economy for the last few decades has been on...

Well it seems we're spending 12 billion to stop the bleeding of the trade war. So if I put this trade war into boxing terms, what I'm seeing right now the first round is over. And the fighters have gone back to their corners. China is looking across the ring and seeing USA having a bleeding eye...

An odd IT moment today. So our level 2 support team reaches out to me to help with a user who isn't happy with their service. The user is a scientist from Germany who is angry the emails he's sending to his work email from his home email are getting quarantined and not reaching his Inbox. I...

If this **** keeps up with all of these species invading the US we might give Australia a run for its money.

Wild Bee: "Just getting a snack." Me: "No problem bee." Mason Bee: "Just making a house." Me: "Build away bee." Honey Bee: "Just sampling the lavenders." Me: "Oh you KNOW I got an assortment! Sample away!" Bumble Bee: "Hey." *bonk* "I jus..." *bonk* "I hav..." *bonk* Me: *holds flower still*...

What sticks out to me is Kennedy made it public that supported a coup. Well technically his position was he wouldn't support one, but if there was one he wouldn't stop it either. Which was pretty much the nod to the generals to have their coup. So looking at it from a South Vietnamese...

Every now and then we're reminded the common task we do thousands of times in our life can actually be dangerous at times: refueling. I can imagine all the engineers sitting around a table designing a $300,000 supercar the question of "What would happen if a ******* in a minivan on the other...

Agreed. Not only were the lies incredulous, but just the diplomatic **** ups left and right. And the tragic irony that one of the main reasons we even got sucked into that was because France basically said "Let us have Vietnam back and restore our former empire or we'll have no choice but to...

I don't know if there are fellow documentary nerds like myself here, but on Netflix now is the Ken Burns documentary on The Vietnam War. As with all things Ken Burns, it's very thorough and long. 10 episodes. Each episode 90 to 120 mins long. It looks at all things around the war: the history...

Found this thread and it cracked me up. Animals who look like they're posing for band photos....

If this weapon does what it claims(I'm highly skeptical) then this is the start of a new era of ground warfare. As the U.S. prepares for war in space, China’s bringing the space war home. Its ZKZM-500 laser assault rifle is reportedly capable of hitting a target from a kilometer away...

My sincerest condolences Bill. Sometimes I feel we aren't worthy of dogs. They're one of the few animals on this planet who love their owners more than they love themselves. When I went through my divorce back in 2007, my chocolate lab kept me sane. No amount psychiatric therapy is as effective...

This is why I want to live up in the mountains with no neighbours near me. I've had a few run ins with mine. Including breaking the jaw and hand of one and spending a few days in jail. Caught the neighbors 22 year old son shooting a pellet gun at my dog while he was in my backyard and lost my...

That guy in the Spanish Civil War photo stood out to me as well. Most of these pictures I posted were because something about them made me ask other questions or want to know more about the moment. But yea the first thing I thought of with that pic was the guy with the pistol in this scene in...
