NYC and those pesky helicopters

I can't remember... what's that humorous definition of helicopters?

Something like... "A loose assortment of parts all flying together."

I was also told they're fairly difficult to fly... Something like trying to balance a ball on a moving stick.

10,000 parts moving in unison until you loose one or one fails! I was told that about 40 years ago.

Dallas school shooter

According to Wiki, the ethnic breakdown of the school is: 56% African American, 40% Hispanic, 2% White, and 2% others, including Asian and Multiracial.

My question is, will there be a GoFundMe set up for the defense so the shooter's family can buy a new $150K Caddilac Escalade or does that just apply if the victims were the 2%?

All I know is if the shooter was white and the victims black, it would be IMMEDIATELY labeled as a hate crime and we would know EVERYTHING about the shooter including the names of his pets.

Forrest Gump would have dragged the hose across the car and had water on the fire two minutes sooner.


Glassbreaker Knife Syndrome: A condition that lasts for about 2 weeks to 6 months and affects 100% of guys, especially the younger guys, who had just bought and is EDC'ing their first tactical assisted opening combat folding knife with glassbreaker tip on the pommel. Symptoms: An uncontrollable instinct to take a quick glance at the backseat of every parked car looking for trapped unattended infants or pets inside. Prognosis: The condition actually saves an untold number of lives every year, especially around Walmarts and bars... :ROFLMAO:

Seen it more than once. They try to quiet the inevitable rattling of said archaic unit.

You still use the old Ritchie gauges? Maybe just for R22?
I still have a bunch including some still boxed, but run my very old Testo digital set on the rare occasion of dealing with R22. Salt air kills systems faster here at the beach.
I have a set of imperials but I started using the Ritchie a couple years ago. I have a set for 410 and another for 22. Where I hang them in my truck they get trashed so I can't bring myself to buying a set of digital gauges and have them not work when I need them. Maybe if I go to an extended cab truck where I can hang them in the cab I will but hanging them in a utility bed box they take a beating. I have a couple replacement gauges in the glove box that I can screw back in if I need to.

So there was a coup attempt in 2016... bet they tried again in 2020...

That was one of many separate scandals. CIA has an airbase in Mena, which was used to retrofit turbo twin-prop aircraft so the pilots could drop baggage from the while in-flight. You can’t do that in the US according to FAA rules.

The aircraft fly out of Mena with weapons and supplies, then come back with cocaine. They didn’t land at Mena with the cocaine, but would drop the duffels with cocaine at remote locations for pre-planned pick-up.

Kevin Ives and Don Henry were just 2 kids who had seen suspicious deliveries like this at night, and thought they could go snatch one of the duffels and make off with the contents. The CIA DZ party was always in-position, so they seized the kids, beat them and bludgeoned them to death with rifles, then staged the bodies on the railroad tracks to look like an accident.

Clinton had an Egyptian State Medical Examiner who rubber-stamped all the suspicious deaths in the State at the time as “natural causes”, so everyone knew they were going to get away with it.
That’s a wild fucking story
