Hope you feel better soon!

Appearance of empathy is more important than actual empathy in our society.

And a huge tree stump. The boy looks about 10.

I'd guess the batteries have degraded due to lack of use. The lights usually have a min battery voltage threshold before they'll light.

We feed the song birds which in turn feed the raptors. Circle of life and all that. As for the pigeon, stop feeding for a week or two and it'll move on. The song birds will return.

I'd say the impact would definitely be non-zero if pregnancy tests were only 50% accurate. Imagine the uproar if tens of thousands of people thought they were pregnant, began to prepare, went through all the prenatal stuff only to find out months later they weren't. And the converse, tens of thousands thought they weren't pregnant but were. High risk pregnancies and deaths due to complications would definitley climb.

There's a reason we call it the far east.

I have a couple "tactical" guns socks from Midway USA for my AR's. They work in that they help prevent idiot marks, but would not say they slide in/out easily. It takes some doing to get them over the optic and pistol grip.

Yeah... most of my rifles don't get shot often, time and range access being the biggest issues.

Cool pocket watch. A guy I work with used to do repair/restoration work on stuff like that.

One of my great uncle's was in the signal corps and did some of that around Europe.

Tubs don't stay full of water for years. That said, I have a 50 gallon aquarium on a crawlspace and I braced the floor underneath in a similar manner.

I may or may not have participated in similar antics inside a warehouse back in the day....

Wow, that's a lot of ribs and bacon.

For those days when you think your job sucks.

I've got a container of dried cayennes from last year and several jars of pickled jalapeños from a few years ago. Cayennes or habeneros are all I can deal with heat wise. I don't mess with ghost peppers or any of that other foolishness. I'll give that a look, thanks.

This is awesome. I wish we had space for something like this. We had a mediocre year. Tomatoes did great right up until the birds found them. Ended up freezing a few bags but not enough to bother with canning. We also made a couple batches of salsa. We planted pumpkins and more green beans but I don't expect much yield. I've got quite a pile of cayenne peppers sitting around. I think I'm gonna try making hot sauce with them, never done that before. I'm gonna try something new and plant a cover crop for the winter. I'm curious to see if that improves production next year.

Is it not close enough that you could heat and adjust the kydex for the proper fit?

That's really interesting. I know very little about how this stuff works, but these statements are telling... In a vernacular more familiar to me, the gain is set much too high for this testing. They didn't set these at 11, they set it at 13.

Flight hours are flight hours. If they take a 10 minute break from practicing refueling and doing touch-and-go's to fly over a stadium, so what? They're also practicing mission planning, coordinating with ATC and ground communications, and a whole host of other operational activities.

Only if you park under the nest.

Yep, if you get in the middle of a dog fight, you will get bit. Friend at work had his beagle get into it with a shepherd at a dog park. He got the dogs separated but got chomped on his lower leg by the shepherd. Its owner bugged out in the following confusion so he had to get rabies shots since they couldn't verify the dog had been vaccinated. $8000.

Yes, desperately in need of several high QB recruits. I feel for the guy, but when he's bad, he's really bad.
