Beyond Good and Evil Otters Cafe

Diving the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm in Egypt
@tobias_friedrich_photography

This will definitely take at least second place at the science fair. Though I think it will be beaten out by Becky Fleckman's exhibit, "Magnets Are Our Friends."

Seal catches a ride.

Dude is the pride of his local Dune wargaming club.

Insane high-dive.

Putting out a forest fire.

Rambunctious.

I got all your vegetables.

Monkey agrees -- these river otters are rotten!

@BillKristol
Straightforward from here:
1. Kate surfaces, files for divorce, denounces Royal Family.
2. Forms new political party committed to a republican Britain. "The Crown is over."
3. Anti-monarchy Labourites and normal Tories join.
4. Prime Minister Kate Middleton.
5. Goodbye monarchy.

68 Greetings! A very nice café thread today. Thank you, Ace. We've returned from a trip to the hinterlands of Northern California. I got acclimated to all the new features on my new car. I've decided that they all work as advertised. Adaptive, intelligent, cruise control. Satellite radio. Individual settings for climate control. Brake assist, so you don't roll backwards on an incline. Plenty of room for all of us plus luggage.
Road trip will ensue in the following months.

I can pretty much buy any production vehicle I want, I would rather drive a 25 year old beat up pickup truck than a Porsche EV.

The problem with a rich guy buying the Porsche is that there really is no cache to buying it and thus not really worthwhile to own.

EV are essentially disposable vehicles and a Porsche EV is no less disposable

TBF Rumours isn't a concept album. It isn't meant to have a cohesive statement. I still love that album, even as an obsessed headbanger.

The yak dung fire is inside your yak fur-felt yurt, wherein you are curled up with 3 of your favorite Mannix ladies, under a yak fur blanket, supping on yak bourguignon and yak milk curds, sipping a lovely vintage of fermented yak milk, whilst a soothing saxophone tune plays softly in the background.

Go romantic, or go home!

There was a story, way back when, maybe true and maybe not, Carson had some female celeb on as a guest, I forget who, and the gal brought a cat with her.

So Carson asked if he can pet her kitty. She says sure, and he says "then move the damn cat out of the way!"

It's been a number of years since I visited the Air Force Museum, and "Memphis Belle" wasn't on display then. What, in your opinion, did they do wrong, or fail to do, in restoring her? I don't know anything about the restoration, so I don't have an opinion.

Do you think "Swoose" should be restored to how she left the factory, or as she was at the end of the war, or something else?

Posted by: Anna Puma at March 19, 2024 08:59 PM (hPKqP)

That mini-series has no discernible story-line IMHO. Character development? What character development? CGI of aircraft in flames or exploding is amped-up; over the top, IMHO. (But what action and war movie CGI isn't these days?) If I hadn't previously read about the 100th Bomb Group's missions and flight personnel in 1943-4, I doubt I would have understood at all what the producers were trying to depict, other than occasional brutal combat at 25,000 feet.

223 Re: "The Memphis Belle"

For one thing photos of her at the unveiling show her as glossy as a show car. So much for the matte finish.

Because the AFM decided to mount her in flight, they skimped on some interior items. The ammo boxes for the waist .50s have been built incorrectly and made of metal. The applique armor plates around each waist position are painted black when period photos show them to be a lighter color possibly interior green.

As for "The Swoose," restored as she was when stationed at Howard AB since that was where she spent most of her life.
