I never stumble across things like this… an inert naval training mine:
Gotta love the brainless speculation by the reporter “it might be used for drugs.”

Some of these made me laugh harder and weirder than I have in a while…
And this one. For some inexplicable reason… this one:
Turns out these aren’t just commercials. Someone actually built a complete Omega Mart in Las Vegas. The amount of effort that went into this is fairly astounding:

I never stumble across things like this… a BQM-167A target drone, seemingly mostly intact, though missing a few important bits here and there. Doubtless some damage from the salt water, especially in the small underslung turbojet.

Huh. Note the tone.
Capitol Suspect Struggled Before Attack, but Motive Remains Unclear
Poor little ragamuffin, he had him some hard times. I do wonder if the same authors cut the Atlanta massage parlor shooter the same slack. Or the Charlotteville car-attack guy.
Yeah, if you have a rough time, you may be due some sympathy. Seems maybe this guy might’ve had a bit of schizophrenia based on his paranoia. But the moment you murder someone, or join up with the likes of the NOIsies… sympathy deleted.

Hey, here’s a thought. If you want to drive around in a vehicle that’s not powered by fossil fuels, get something like the “Sentinel DG8 Steam Wagon,” a 1930’s British truck powered by a steam engine. They were originally fueled with coal, but this being the more advanced and progressive 21st century, we could power them with wood. Range was only 30 miles, at which time it would need to load up with water; rather than being a downside, think of this as a positive. It would contribute to making long distance travel slow and inconvenient, thus leading to people learning to just stay put. Rather than traveling freely like citizens, the proles will soon learn their place… and stay there.

OK, granted, I didn’t really have a favorite preacher *before,* but this guy…
He demonstrates the proper method of dealing with officious bullies and government Karens: raise your voice, be more belligerent than they are, intimidate *them* but without becoming actually threatening or physical. Don’t give an inch. Don’t give them the opportunity to speak. Shout them down. Now people need to start doing this whenever the likes of AOC or Beto O’Rourke open their yaps. Since he’s in Canada, I guess he won’t be screaming much at Biden.
I suspect he and I would have theological differences. But I gotta respect his ability to drive away government officials who want to interfere with his right to practice his religion, pandemic or no. If the Worst People In America get their way and ban standard capacity magazines and incredibly common firearms, I have hopes that when government stooges and toadies go knocking on doors to intimidate citizens into enfeebling themselves, this is the response they’ll get.

That’s just *painful* to watch.

The Trident I and Trident II were fundamentally different missiles, despite the name.
Somewhere around here I have a technical paper on turning the Trident II into a satellite launcher. Been meaning to work that into an issue of US Launch Vehicle Projects one of these years.
