16. That ain’t shit. Wife’s seen worse down at HUP in Philly. Pretty sure 11 or 12 was the youngest.

My dad was coroner for a couple years in the podunk county we lived in and I remember him talking about a call where including the dead baby, there were 5 generations of females in the house - and not a centenarian among 'em. You can fill in the blanks.

Who would ever expose themselves on an open rock face and shoot at a target straight down from them? And, have to pull themselves or be pulled up to get to cover?

That’s not “Ranger as fuck!” That’s stupid as fuck.

That was an experiment at a high angle course taught by Jacob Bynum of Rifles Only (pictured there). I was behind the camera. It was to illustrate the interesting effects of mechanical offset and lack of gravity effects on projectiles when fired straight down with a 100 yard zero at distances further than 100 yards. Plus, it was fun.

The rigging itself was not too hard, but I was worried I would drop my camera. We had a lot of very photo worthy moments that class.

That's some cool stuff right there! We used to call the 'face down' rappelling "Going Australian." The Trick was to dismount without planting your face in the sand!

Cheers and thanks for the explanation!

Did a bit of that Australian rappelling when I climbed. Just because standard is boring.
 

All tourists want old carpets- antiques

Not sure what is happening in the picture

Bleach and water is frequently mopped on and removed to age carpets

I imagine the sun is cheaper than bleach

New carpet might be $40-$60 in the bazar

An old carpet - 100+ years old might be $500

Cheating tourists is probably an occupation older than street walking

Workers lay carpets out to dry on Aug. 10 in Dosemealti, Turkey.
Handmade carpets, flat woven kilims and embroidered rugs from all over Turkey are sent to Dosemalti to be laid out in the sun to soften the colors and give them an antique look.
