Probably best, or he’d likely have lost his head. There’s another, similar vid of a homebrew garage chopper, he ran it up and the tail vibration was excessive and came apart, killing him. Really sad, anybody who works with helicopters knows what’s next in these kinds of videos.

I have a Ruger P95 with no safety. However when de-cocked it has a double-action trigger pull so a lot safer than the Glock.

Got a 1938 Walther ppk in .32 caliber. The decocking scares the bejesus out of me. Bought a modern version in .22LR for Smash to use for range practice. Nice weapon, but the walther decocking is skeery AF. Almost like trusting a tri-color junker cage with a smashed up front end's turn signal, when on a motorcycle.

1. First/second/third cousin is how many generations back you have to go to find a common ancestor with someone of your own generation.
2. Once/twice removed for younger generations is how many generations decended they are from your cousins.
3. Cousins are reciprocal. If you're in a younger generation and someone's first cousin twice removed (i.e., the grandchild of their first cousin), then they are also *your* first cousin twice removed.

One thing I am amused by, it is originally in German, and the version I have is dubbed. I turned the subtitles on and the two differ significantly in the words they choose.
And sometimes one is better then the other but...consistently they still express the same thoughts.
German is about the closest language to English, so it is interesting at just how much freedom you have to express a thought differently even in a sister langauge.

No. Shit. Dad was a Methodist country preacher. One of his church members was a retired Louisianan state trooper, and former General Paton body guard. Every photo of Patton, this dude was off side with a .45 Thompson. (And for Besreker) a Harley MP Scout bike. I met him in '93 when Dad drug me to breakfast one time when home from gw1. He gaveDad the handgun for repairing his grandkid's quad. No. Shit. That's how it got transferred in ow ership.

Love the almost made it off the ground helicopter. I was waiting for some decapitation action.

The baby projection from all orifices. Our first night home with #1 son my mother was told we had this and to go to bed. She heard my husband yell from the diningroom/temporary nursery:"He's peed in his ear! What do I do now!"
Baby boys I can at least predict from their warning device. Baby girls I cannot and both grandgirlies have peed on their changing table. This one now and then harfs, too, but she's really cute and smart and smiles a lot when not doing all of that. She discovered my husband's unshaved cheek a week ago and perfers it to clean shaven.

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and is crucial for maintaining iron levels.
Ferritin levels are often assessed through blood tests to determine iron storage; low levels indicate iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia.

High ferritin levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation, as ferritin can be mobilized during acute inflammatory reactions.

A ferritin test can provide insights into various health conditions, making it an important diagnostic tool.

Sometimes in genealogy you come across a "Mth cousin Nth removed", you review their life story, and you wished that you could pick a much larger value for N.

High ferritin levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation, as ferritin can be mobilized during acute inflammatory reactions.
If you are a post menopausal woman and your ferritin level is extremely high, immediately get a genetic test for hemochromatosis. Your body has begun accumulating iron as you no longer menstruate, and that is bad news.

I hate snakes. Once when the boys were small they went on a little tour of a botanical garden with others and thought we'd be thrilled. It is the only time in my life I hyperventilated.
A thick jungle with little puddles next to the creek. Visions of snakes and gators.
I was making such loud wheezing sounds that when we popped out at the end a man was taking water samples from a bridge and stared at us.
We came to a narrow portion of the creek that I could easily jump but I stepped right in it running instead as I was looney tunes at that point.
My husband said he did not recognize me. A lesson learned or leared that day to never take me again into a jungle.

Seems that central Europe remains a very good place not to be, consistent with much modern history.
Saw a Trump post praising Orban. And just a few days ago, in a post on another topic, Trump mocked Zelensky as "P.T. Barnum". Wild. Love it. Decades of consuming (and producing) the tedious, vapid hackneyed shit that passes for official pronouncements and commentary make Trump's Queens bare-knuckle style a hilarious relief.

No, Pappaw got friendly with a nurse when he was wounded in France. As far as we can tell he had no idea. Her mom would not tell her any more than that he was a GI.
She carried Pappaw's picture in her wallet til the day she died though. Never married.
She found my uncle and Dad who are both into geneology and had done the 23 and me. Said they were a close match and she was looking for her father. Said she had a picture she found in her Mom's wallet when she passed away of who she assumed was her father. It was Pappaw staring out (one of those photo booth kind of things.) Eerie.

The thing about the DNA test in genealogy is that its results are out there for all and sundry to see (as it were), and you potentially could be peppered with requests to talk / meet with folks who may mean well, but will take up a lot of your time.
By records' based, I meant their paper trail -- censuses, states' records of births, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, deaths and burials, and so forth. I am over one half Norwegian and believe me, those folks recorded everything. Then they moved into or through Minnesota one hundred years or more ago, and those folks recorded everything.

We recently connected with an entire missing branch of our family from that genealogy thing. My grandmother's brother and his line. Nobody really ever talking about him. He was 15 years older, and fought in WWI, and we're still piecing it together how he drifted off. I have 3 new 2nd cousins that I never knew about, and they didn't know about us. One of my second cousins that I only met a few times was trying to find out if there was any family left in italy since she's going there this year. I could have told had she asked, which is a big no since they have all been here for a few generations, but she did track down a missing part of the family in the process.

I want all snakes dead. We had a 5' black snake who lived in the hedge in front of our house along the walk every summer. I had to check the mail going out the garage. My husband claimed they ate rats but this one did not get the memo as we had a rat in our attic once.
He/she once got in the garage with me and I was very brave and screamed (do they have ears?) and threw a broom at it and it left. If it got in the house we'd have to move or burn it down.
One of my BF in FL, who is acting weird since Trump 2024 as a Dim does not kill anything. She once "saved" a coral snake to show the neighbor children and called the zoo or someone. I would have sent my husband out to kill it instead.

The parking lot was full, we crept around looking for a car backing out, found one out near the rear outer limit. Inside was a total jam, everybody old and gray like us, the checkout area packed. Carts piled high. We ended up behind a couple, no cart, carrying a bag of dried prunes.
Who would put up with that for a bag of prunes. But that was not all. Passing the cart pack parked at the eating tables on way out, there sat a cart, one box in it, a box of womens' Depends. Torture for Depends, torture for prunes. OR NOT? It's the way we entertain ourselves.

So, started watching the new Guy Richie Sherlock Holmes series... and suddenly realized I LIKED the story... but... also hated it....
Are you referring to the two movies he did that starred Robert Downy, Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson? They both were entertaining in their own right, although the second one ("Game of Shadows") had far more foitprints from Doyle's stories in it than had the first.
I enjoyed the interplay between the two lead characters. They needed not be Holmes snd Watson, as you said. An original story free of Doyle in all respects would have served equally well.

Under those circumstances, if I attempt to click on the "Comments" link nothing happens when that link is at the same level as, or below the floating check box. I simply cannot raise the comments' view for that thread.
However, if I scroll the screen so that the "Comments" link is decidedly above the level of the floating check box, I can bring forth the comnents view for that thread.

She once hired a French guy to trace one branch and he and a friend came to the USA and stopped by the farm for dinner. My father was worried he was a serial killer (where I get it from), but it was ok. She'd met him in Normandy.
She found out my father's grandfather was a bigamist who had another family in LA. My great-grandmother threw all his clothes and stuff out into the front yard when she found a love letter from a woman in his jacket. They never divorced as it was 1913 and people then thought she was a widow.
Imagine the surprise of the family in LA when mother told the mother that they were perhaps not legally married after he died and had a daughter.
Until then my father and aunt thought their grandmother was widowed (she was dead by then before all this came out). Otherwise my family is fairly normal and not inbred.

She's a nurse and I met her at the med center. She somehow put the snake in a garbage can.
We are total opposites as she'd rather die than wear make up and I won't leave the house without mascara unless the house is on fire. We have gotten along well since the hanging chads and she found out I voted Bush. This seems different.
They have no children and are well traveled and cultured and all that stuff. I like them but she has some weird ideas like this. Maybe she's now Buddist or something. Do they kill coral snakes?
They are in FL and have been very quiet since the election. We last saw them when our son got married in June 2024. Dunno.
I refuse to be ghosted so I will bug her when I am there again. If nothing else to irritate her. We don't talk politics, so maybe her friend, the wife of a former UNESCO Brit diplomat told her not to talk to me.Her husband is a weird dude and wears socks with sandals on the beach.

Thd missus was all wild about doing ger family tree for about a decade or so.
First she found out that her father's father was not the person in whose home he was raised (and her father suspected this already and pretty much knew who was his father -- "Your grandmother was wild when she was young").
Then she found out, and briefly saw actual evidence for (a baptismal record), that her mother's mother was not the woman in whose home she was raised, but actually was the woman who was the oldest daughter in that household.
She pretty much dropped her pursuit of her family's history at that point.

Socks and sandals means creep, because my best friend's sister's boyfriend's EU diplomat brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a Ukrainian kid who's going with this Iranian girl who saw him pass out at the Money Bar in West Palm last night. I think it's seriously creepy

I would’ve done that. I don’t mess with the poison ones, but when I find an ordinary snake I usually try to catch it and look at it, then let it go. Snakes are cool, never bothered me.
And I would never kill a coral snake, they’re incredibly beautiful, little works of art! I’d relocate it if I found one too close to people.

Nah. He's just a weird Brit. I mean he could be creepy but I've only met him a few times. Smallish guy I could crush easily. Birdlike and shy.

One of my 2nd great grandmothers unknowingly married a bigamist (he was supposed to have divorced his first wife) after her first husband died.
She only found out about her second husband's perfidy after he passed away and she applied for his Civil War veteran's benefits. Then, in tge investigation to establish that she indeed was owed that pension, it came out that her marriage to him was not valid because he was a bigamist.
Then it came letter that announced denial of the benefit for her and thd reason why arrived at the home of the sister with whom she was staying. That very day she was discovered on her bed, dead, in her bedroom.
I am convinced that the news of her having hitched her wagon to a bigamist and that she would be bereft of support that she had expected to have was what killed her.

That’s really about it. I get most news from a few sources I’ve carefully cultivated on X, and even these I only believe because I’ve watched them for months and they’ve got a good track record for being right about things.
But there’s also an incredible amount of pure crap on that platform. An entire contingent believes Iran has sunk the US fleet and is winning the war.

JJ, Jr was a loud, lying, moralistic and preening scumbag and racial grifter, the likes of which we had never seen.
Then along came Barky, who topped him in practically every disgusting aspect ('cept having affairs or kiddos by other women), and who took active steps to poison race relations in this country.

Barry has sealed himself in the well, not to permanently re-emerge until Islam's final battle with the rest of the world.
OK, OK, he's probably not actually the 12th Imam.

Aussie housecleaning: Last time I had that job, there were two black snakes in the walls of a bathroom we were taking down. They were only about five feet long each, though, and not as girthy. Later had to evict them from under the floor of a tent. They just didn't want to leave.

Nothing could make me watch that funeral. Well, unless it was viking style, but instead of a boat he was stuffed in a garbage can, and instead of flaming arrows it was flaming bags of dog launched by trebuchet, and also floated in NY harbor and not some scenic shore somewhere. I would watch that.

And half- and step-cousins, but it's harder to draw divorces and remarriages on a family tree.
Double cousins happen when a pair of siblings marries another pair of siblings. One of my grandmother's sisters was married to one of my grandfather's brothers, so my father has double-first-cousins. (And I have double-first-cousins-once-removed.) Double cousins, because my Dad's mom's sister's kid, and his dad's brother's kid, are the same kid.

Or if they just drop it....
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran) on June 6, 1989, after his death on June 3.
As the body was being transported in an open wooden coffin, the coffin was dropped or overturned multiple times.
The body fell out onto the ground, partially exposing it (feet and parts of the body visible as the shroud was torn).
Revolutionary Guards fired warning shots in the air, used hoses to disperse people, and struggled to retrieve the body.

What it means-
Hungary gave citizenship to ethno-Hungarians from neighboring countries. The US did not want to include them in the Visa-free system to visit the US. Because....gypsies.
Now Hungary thinks that an EU citizenship or papers has nothing to do with being European. Which is correct, and the US government is trying to figure this out too.
BUT...about 2 million Hungarians now live in other EU countries and the UK.
