A fitting testement of what could have been had the engineer and gearheads been left alone. Sadly this is only one example of many where the tail( accountants and marketing people) is wagging the dog.

I consider myself lucky to have actually seen The US Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon in action, other highlights from that trip was visiting both The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and The Vietnams Vetrans Memorial

Pretty country, not what I picture when I think of Utah

So came across a recipe for coca-cola bread which made me thing a fellow cola aficionado @Matt.Cross of I ended up trying out the recipe with great success. While the dough was rising I ended up making homemade nuttella which not having the oils and perservitives results (IMHO) a smoother, cleaner taste and more of a chocolate vs sugery taste. While it doesn't affect the flavor I do need to work on my braiding technique

I once visited DC end of July, beging of August.It's not so much the heat I had issue with but the humidity... how does one feel drier in the shower as opposed to stepping out of the shower?

@Rsquared will appreciate this...

For trebuchets you need a grizzly bear in a blue portapotty

Airborne beavers are real, complete with attitude

Looks like a great camp kitchen knife, granted it looks like a Tanto knife had a little to much whiskey and hooked up with the cleaver in the pantry

Had a buddy that liked things well done( his definition) I'd have take my steak of the grill and letting it rest which was the point at where he'd be flipping the steak over to make sure both sides were cooked 'properly' 🤮

Bet the cousin will show a bit more sense at the next BBQ...

Thanks for sharing, great pictures

Glad to hear things are headed in the right direction. Here's to a speedy recovery and back shooting.

Not bad at all even at the non sale price

Still looking for the hard drive, Tuesday an Wednesday were late night with a back up generator failure Tue. and pump failure Wed, On the plus side, thinking I had unpacked and put away all the firearms... I found 3 more rifles

Not ignoring you, just need to unpack and hook up the desk top cause thats where I've got the memes and pictures. Tomorow night I'll post

Probably one of the best know examples of this was the Ford Pinto. Of course with no internet it took a while for non industry types and the media to see a pattern. Once Ford saw the problem there was a look at cost to fix vs coast to deal with court cases/payouts... guess which one they chose? The other thing driving their decision was Ford promised to deliver a car that was under 2000lbs and inder $2000. Sig Sauer( Swiss company,German company and US company) are all seperate entities owned by the same holding company. While they do work closely together for legal,tax and other reasons they are on paper three seperate companies. People are placed by L&O Holdings for the sole purpose of making money for the partners and share holders. The brand only has value to the holding company based on sales. If the Sig Sauer brand fails the holding company will buy another name, use that and simply transfer all the plants,tooling etc to the new name. Back in 2019 executives where given suspended sentances and the company paid huge fines( not the executives) for illegally selling pistols to the Columbian government. Basically the pistols were produced by the German group which couldn't get and end user certificate for the sale to Columbia. So the pistols were sent to the US group that then forward them to Columbia. They only got caught 'cause someone blew the whiste on them. Holding companies like this are the corparate equivelent of clearcutting a forest with no concern to replanting. Which is why they will never admit fault on their part. For them it's better to let it burn to the ground and have another part of the holding company buy the assests for pennies on the dollar.

Or the other one where your working on something out in the plant, say 3 phase 600v. Then some office person come out to complain that the microwave in the lunchroom isn't working so it must be something you did
