We did, while working in the gulf. Chopper blades sag while idling. Unless you wanna step out like Vic Morrow, I'd recommend it. Rule of thumb, if you walk up to a shut down helicopter and your head barely clears the end of the stopped blade, you still might want to crouch while boarding.

Digital currency is being paid a virtual coin for mining information. The coins have value, right up to the point the issuers move their interests. What happens then? Wipe your arse w/zeros & ones. Stimulus? That's where you steal trillions of dollars for special interests, that you personally have investment in, so you can cash out & laugh at the current & future taxpayers. Oh, and fake outrage @ anyone that questions your motives.

One of the best movies about Bastogne was Battleground, with Van Johnson, filmed in 1949. Glorified nothing about war, but showed normal men thrown into a horrific situation, and how they pulled together to survive.

Anyone who still pays attention to American media has mental disorders. Warm water rises, cool water descends, and no amount of hype can change facts from reality to fantasy. The smooth brains want you to believe the flavor of the day, but reality is a cruel taskmaster that won't be denied.

Mother's mag wheel polish is your new friend Pain. Never ending love affair once you start polishing.

Just got home after a week of fishing. Salami & pepperjack on wheat sandwiches, washed down w/Founders IPA. Chili, grilled chicken, cowboy beans & pork chops on the grill. Margaritas every night over a campfire. Last night was Quesadillas & sweet potato fries @ the local Elks lodge, topped with butter pecan ice creme & cherry pie. Fish fry with bluegills & crappies this weekend, probably make Spanish rice with chicken broth & tomatoes on the side. Had a great time, good to be out w/the crew & the fish were biting. Most of the (un)Holy experts don't know what a farm is, let alone where their food comes from. Doesn't stop them from lecturing. I just yawn, & carry on. I'm the one living this life, not you. I'm not responsible for you, and you certainly aren't responsible for me.

It's rather grim, the woke are so blinded by the gleaming chalice of righteousness they're carrying, they can't see the cliff they're marching toward. Not gonna have a happy ending, so says history.

We know the acute effects of the vaccine, sore arms & people experiencing covid sickness. The chronic effects are....gosh, we don't know anything about that, because it hasn't been out long at all. I think I'll remain a good little lab rat & remain in the control group. Y'all never know when you might want some data from people like us. In the mean time, I'll keep working & paying my taxes like a good little productive drone, we're getting scarce around these parts. Tracking? They don't need microchips in me, I have a fixed address they tax regularly & heavily. I can be found by anyone that has a grudge, even the Mormons knock on my door.

Sad part is, you can't even poke fun at any of it, because the righteous will smite thee. Humor is dis-allowed.

LOL Rob, humor is the best medicine. It's what keeps us sorta sane after the crashing waves of insanity. Doesn't take much to trigger the self-virtuous does it? It would be more funny if they weren't so predictable in their outrage. ****HERESY ALERT**** fachi is an egotistical quack, thriving off attention. Starve him, and he'll go away.

Your aren't going to convince the Cult of Covid anything, it's their religion, their deity, and fauci is their prophet. Their world begins & ends at their phone screen. 99.7% chance of survival isn't enough, they demand 100%, which is impossible to achieve. You're going to die of something, that is the only guarantee life offers. It's how you live that counts, and I never intended to live frightened. I'm with you Rob, let the imbeciles flip me off all they want, their disdain is a badge of pride.

Bolts boring? You've never lined up on someone at close range, missed, & had to jack another round in with them charging with a bayonet. That's not dull.

Leave the knife please Merlin, good to have one last ditch weapon. Such a relief to play rifles w/no rifle nades plopping nearby.

Running a wired Voltedge TX-40, bass is nice, but I recommend spending more money for comfort & fidelity.

Sheesh Window, some of us still WORK for a living & it's kinda nice to get an hour or two of extra sleep on the weekend, not to mention having an adult beverage the night before.

Saw them in action @ Knob Creek machine gun meet. Turned a junk car into metal fragments within seconds, and that was in 5.56 caliber. No mistaking that sound, more like a 4160volt transformer discharging than a gun. No wonder the navy boys call the sea whizz "The Beast".

So cool, you Aussies always got some extra goodies we never had. Ford cross flow heads for the inline sixes come to mind

Done, finished, tired of all the hysteria. Been working each day, everyday, throughout all of this. Been going out with friends for drinks & dinners since last year. Don't lecture me anymore, this crap will never be over, too many billionaires are profiting from it, and they don't care what it costs the peons.

Ding! For once Pete gets it correct. Follow the money, & you'll find a lot of evil creeps making a windfall off suffering. Several at work have taken their first shots, because they have to. Gotta show your papers to attend your children's sports events. The rest of us are taking a wait & watch attitude, because we have all survived this nonsense without fanfare. All, except Linda Haupt, she went to the hospital for covid symptoms, got sent to the nursing home under bounce back protocols & picked up a nasty c-diff infection followed by sepsis. RIP Linda, another victim of procedure, but her death certificate says covid.

Thanks Rob & Roxy, I didn't see Tokyo's post until I submitted this one. Didn't mean to duplicate a thread, sorry. I'll take all of your suggestions & just deal with it.

Howdy, anybody having problems w/cod4 stalling? I can barely get through a map without an .exe stopped working error. Seems worse after a map download, but usually dies during inventory fitting out. Love the MW2 mod, but it's a bear to get rolling, especially in the morning when I have limited time before work. Thanx! LCB

Oh yeah, another issue that magically repaired itself was my in game screen shot. So nice to have that back again.....?

Now, If I could get rid of the "Call of Duty did not shut down properly, would you like to start in safe mode?" message, I'd be a happy camper. It also likes to mis-place my desktop icon. ?

10-4 Loader, been working a lot of hours, & summer is a poor time to spend sorting computer issues. Was going to try a headphone & adapter for HDMI, but I didn't want something that was useless for COD2. Really couldn't figure out why my working microphone suddenly stopped in WAW. Nobody on the Radeon sites was much help. Just guessed by the way my device manager was behaving that sound was the issue, and the only thing I changed was the video card....that wanted to play sound. Back up & rolling, I'll stop in Saturday for TDM before I mow grass.

Howdy, after months of playing WAW without a working microphone & not being able to play COD2 at all, figured the problem out. My Radeon RX-570 wanted me to use HDMI sound, but Realtek is my default device. Uninstalled the drivers I had been using, uninstalled COD2, then installed the latest Realtek drivers. Had a working microphone in WAW, so I re-installed COD2 & it actually allowed the game to start, something Loader, Pain, & I couldn't get to happen. Patched, & back up & running. Finally get to shoot Lead, Sinbad, & BDS again. Joy!
