Me too. 1/700 scale waterline mainly Imperial Japanese Navy with a sprinkling of allied ships. Next up is the USS Montana, the next battleship class after the Iowas. Never actually built because of the emergence of aircraft carriers, so the whole class was canceled which included the New Hampshire, Ohio, Maine, and Louisiana.

Sort of like, that's all you ever eat. Ever. But, there's a soup Nazi, right? So I'll assume he's eating out at least once a week. And I see a loaf of wonder bread, so I'm assuming he's eating Raisin Bran sandwiches?

Anyway - I'm assuming Jerry lived in his apartment by himself, so... Did he really have 45 boxes of cereal? Is this normal? That just seems like a lot of cereal to eat before it's stale AF. Sort of like, that's all you ever eat. Ever. But, there's a soup Nazi, right? So I'll assume he's eating out at least once a week. And I see a loaf of wonder bread, so I'm assuming he's eating Raisin Bran sandwiches?

There's a nature show guy, Coyote Pete, that let himself get stung by a number of things including a murder hornet. It wasn't the worst sting. He said there have only been a few possible sightings here and they will most probably be quickly irradicated.
He's actually a pretty entertaining guy, most of his videos aren't about getting bit or stung, he just shows animals in their native habitat a lot like Steve Irwin. Get kids interested in animals, that sort of thing.

One tom fell in love with our car and trotted back and forth from the side to the hood gobbling and preening himself. Kept us there for about 5-10 minutes.
Another time, was walking my dog who as a catahoula felt that all things were game to her. Anyway, a turkey saw us and took off flying. Zoomed over our heads at about ten feet altitude on its way to a tall pine. Felt like a B52 going over our heads. Dog was NOT eager to go after turkeys in the field anymore after that.

I read that the British in WWII brought in Lloyds of London industrial insurance actuaries to tell their Special Operations Executive how to sabotage industrial plants in occupied Europe.

The backlash underscored both Democrats' struggles with pandemic politics.

Seriously. The Communists running Canada right now, while cowards, are completely amoral and lacking any conscience or civic responsibility.
While they are hiding in their panic rooms, they are calling in airstrikes to wipe out whole neighborhoods.
There are no brakes on this out-of-control truck the Communists are operating. This will probably end and Canada will forever be lost as another nation that once knew Western Civilization, but is now just a prison state like China.

Reuben,
Read up sometime about the short awful reign of Bela Kun in Hungary post WWI. Malaysia in the 60's is another example as is the Year of Living Dangerously. Authoritarian regimes often fall because the people in key do not, by and large, believe in the bilge that the leaders and others put out. They are in it for the paycheck and not exciting lives. Often, in key periods, they simply sit on their ass and do nothing to bring attention to themselves and that cripples the regime.

He needs to check if the point of the clip ejector is too long. Burrs in the magazine can be another issue, and interference between the bullet guide and follower arm could be squeezing the opening for the clip.

Peter Robinson (Hoover Inst.) has done a couple interviews and mentioned one in particular. I don't remember who now. But it was a scholar who went to the archives when they opened up, and he said his biggest surprise was that they were true believers. They really did believe that shit. Robinson brings it up whenever the cold war comes up, so should not be too hard to find.

The Department of Defense's National Defense University (NDU), the premier education institution for military and defense civilian leaders, is planning to host a lecture on how Western countries should adopt socialism in response to the challenge from China - Martini Farmer
People never learn. Or rather, they have to keep learning from scratch every generation or two. Take socialism, for example. Mostly discredited with the fall and breakup of the Soviet Union, and now, apparently, roaring back among the imbecilariat in government and academe. An endless reinventing of the square wheel.

Hatcher's Notebook is available as a free pdf download. But, Hatcher's Book of the Garand is not. Two separate books though.
Jim Thompson's Essential Book on the Garand dated 2019 is also pretty decent. Disagree on some specifics but they are grounded in his informed opinions. Ended up with M1 in 30-06 and had to learn to care and feed it.

Whig is right, but incomplete.
They really believe that everything they see is corrupt, but that if it were only done right. (If comrade Stalin only knew!)
This, I have argued, is akin to Gell-mann syndrome. They see the corruption, but think that things they do not see are not corrupt.

The endless bringing up of communism of the USSR and perhaps of China is one of hard men killing their opposition through a violent revolution that took several years in one case and decades in another. They did that in each country because the existing leaders were feckless, corrupt, cruel and incompetent themselves. Those elites were replaced by and large by the few educated individuals at the top as the only ones that could manage such things.
What we are seeing here is Gramscism which is a different approach.

Jim Thompson is of the shooting tribe rather than strictly the collecting type so this book is not Bruce Canfield's which focuses on collecting variations.
Thompson's book is a compilation and summary of his previous two volume set on the Garand and he writes colorfully so he will not put you to sleep like some but there is some disorganization there probably due to editing decisions.

It's the one that worked in the West, where people were not benighted peasants. Gramsci and Mussolini both understood that the West would need something different than Leninism. Obviously they disagreed rather strongly on the form the Revolution should take, just agreeing that the vanguard tactics couldn't work.
The West German Communists adopted it, and taught it to the Americans, who turned it into an art and a science.
The only comfort I derive from that is that it's a bitch-made, dickless version of Marxism for soft Western pussies, and may make it easier to dispense with when the time comes.

I still have the damn batteries on my desk, and I have to convert it to NiMh (from Li ion). I hate this shit.

It can be harder if you cannot id your hardware for compatible drivers. I have built my own desktops longer than I have used Linux. Made things easier on the initial install and I generally get years out of them.

I thought Arch was supposed to be the super-terse install with just the very basics, making you install all productivity tools get way into driver installation version nightmares

For years, I wished I had an Amiga as their approach to video, sound, etc. was far in advance to Windoze or Mac at the time.
Ironically, many ATMS ran on OS/2 until recently as it was one of the more bomb proof closed end solutions and was obscure enough that only a few people understood its potential vulnerabilities. Security by Obscurity. I initially learned OS's using Vulcan on a Harris Mini Computer system. Vulcan was frigging awful and buggy but did have a good Fortran compiler.

When you are done with the install you get a command line system. From there if you want a GUI you install it (probably X11) plus a window manager, you want a web browser you install it, office suite you install it, and so on. It is as much or as little as you want. Just recently they released again a guided installer but I've not tried it. I just follow the manual. You must do a lot of reading and research before you start to know what you want to install (boot loaders, video drivers, sound, printers, etc).

It took be an entire day to get the damn thing functional to the point where I could actually do anything. "Oh, you want to type something? Need to d/l a driver for that. Mouse? Driver. Speakers? Driver." To this day I can still type "sudo" in a matter of microseconds.

Yes and no. Apple makes your choices for you and if you do not like it, tough. Best to also not buy only Apple made extensions and hardware and not any saying that it is 'compatible'.
So, yes, it does 'work' but you have to stay within the boundaries of hardware and software that Apple chooses or you get problems.

I remember that! I had already been promoted and moved on to a different job and my old job in the company called me to consult on how to unfuck the SCO terminals. Told them to install RedHat, and teh reverse engineer the SCO proprietary databse.

Yeah, that was a weird situation. A Linux company bought what was left of SCO from Novell, change their name to SCO, and then sued IBM for copying Unix into Linux.

Depends--Safari, for example, has had issues for years (here for example) with websites and Apple refused to open their system to competitors.
So, as here, the tech recommendation was don't use Apple to access AOS website.

Unfortunately, we no longer see the type of software qualification used for Apollo and later the Space Shuttle. Basically, Chris Kraft's mantra was don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Ironically, I was reading Hatcher's Book of the Garand about M1 rifle development and came across the same attitude.
