Serious Video Of the Day

I know this is expensive, and has a non-standard O/S, and all that.  But, it's a fully US supply chain, actual hard off switches for camera and mic (that actually switch them off).

 

I run their computer hardware at home, nothing but.  But this phone is seriously secure.

Seriously though, I have one of these for my phone.  I just need to use it more.

Hell yeah - those will work with your "tap" credit cards, too.

Damn, I'm going to look into that.  That is sweet.

The PureOS is a nice O/S, but limited from many standard phone apps.  If you're into that sort of thing.

Brother...   You know how many phone apps I already use?  With my flipper?   

ZERO.   I might be down with this system - and I can get everyone off my a$s about "He needs a smaaaat-phone..."

Hate promoting SIG these days, but that's one badass advert, right there.

I know I get fuqd with about my flip-phone, old-skool shiit.  I have a reason.  Many of you close to me know that exact reason. Targetting "smart" phones started to be a part of my job, in the former life, right towards the end of that life.  The tech is crazy.  The mere fact that I could turn your cell phone against you, in Oct 2000, is just crazy.  I couldn't even turn the equipment ON - INSIDE the borders of the Continental United States. I had to find a deployment to another country, devise a training plan - just to power this shiit up, and run it. By the time 9/11 came around, there were full deployments of this stuff, the full training complete in every Group - we were ahead of it, then.  The tech, then, was so powerful, just mind-boggling.  More systems came out, different capabilities, different goals and objectives.  Where I was, then, was a proving ground of "does it work"...  And it did...  

DRT.

Back in that day, I had the first one that came out.  DRT-001.  Still have signed Hand Receipt copies of that thing.  

Check this vid out, pay attention, towards the end.  Pay close attention...

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

[Rsquared]

That area looks awesome. I love shots that are out in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

Not a funny video so it goes here.  It shows the respect that President Trump has for military.

that is pretty cool that coin is not a easy one to get....

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

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.

Indeed it was, brother.  Destroyer.  I've been looking at a 20th Anniversary 1989 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo. LONG TIME.  That was the Full-On GNX engine.  Last time it was ever offered, ever.  It's for sale here locally, for several years now, but it's a Salvage Title.  Nobody will touch it.  $15k. Unreal...  

I'll take it!  I need to go look at it, talk to the owner, and find out why it's a Salvage Title.  It's s steal.
