A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog"
If the A-10 makes its way to other branches, you know the Coast Guard will make good use of them. There are a lot of "fishing boats" to take care of.

I love that so far the most constant 'WTF?' from foreign visitors coming here for World Cup is free refills. It's just one after the other going 'We can haz much soda?' It's honestly hilarious. 'Yes, you can haz much soda.'

@KEdge23 @mattforliberty I think burning homes and vandalizing the streets is the exact correct response. Next, every politician and career bureaucrat who has contributed to the filthy foreigners problem in the UK should be led to either exile or to a wood and rope structure that rhymes with hallows.

@mattforliberty Burning peoples homes down and vandalising the streets isn’t right. It’s against the law. I call out violence from all sides. You obviously think it’s acceptable to go around breaking the law.

This is shocking. Nobody should be defending this thuggery. All of the events in Belfast are sickening.

@MikeyDiMercurio "(he vanished on his own, not because I disappeared him...)" Totally convincing. I believe every single word. Obviously, one would outsource that sort of thing.

I keep track of how many people whose lives I've saved during my time on Earth. I'm up to 13 now. Here's the roster - 7 sailors of AS-28 (see below) MySonThePilot, who I threatened with death for his being mean to his younger sister Ex 1.0 (evil beyond description) Ex 2.0 (makes Ex 1.0 seem angelic) Frizzy blonde chick who sued me for paternity Ex 1.0's father, to whom I issued a death threat (he sexually abused Ex 1.0 and then dumbass Ex 1.0 was bringing our daughter to stay at his house, alone with him) Neglected Middle Chile's ex-BF who broke her hand in a door jamb and was abusive (I issued him a death threat leading to him vanishing) (he vanished on his own, not because I disappeared him...)

HOW I SAVED 7 SAILORS BY HUMILIATING PUTIN AND GETTING HIM TO MAN UP (Note - bold/italicized passages have been added to grok's summary by the author) What Happened On August 4, 2005, during a training exercise in Beryozovaya Bay (Pacific Ocean, off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, ~70 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky), the Russian deep-submergence rescue vehicle AS-28 (a ~13.5m, 55-ton Priz-class submersible) got its propeller entangled in underwater cables from a hydrophone array (part of a coastal monitoring system) and fishing nets. The sub sank to the seafloor at ~190 meters (620 ft) depth — too deep for the crew to escape by swimming. It carried 7 people: 6 Russian Navy personnel (including commander Lt. Vyacheslav Milashevsky, age 25) + 1 representative from the manufacturer. The crew issued a mayday; oxygen and conditions became critical after ~3 days in darkness and cold. Rescue Operation Russian initial efforts (grappling hooks, attempts to drag it) failed and worsened the entanglement. Author Michael DiMercurio appeared three times on FOX NEWS, interviewed about the rescue, while initially, Russia refused Western rescue operations. DiMercurio publicly humiliated Vladimir Putin by stating categorically that it was his fault the 28 sailors of the sunken Kursk died, as a result of his egregious and criminal failure to allow Western underwater rescue teams to help, dooming the sailors. DiMercurio went on to tell Putin, on live national television, "to man up and accept Western rescue experts to save those sailors.") As a direct result of DiMercurio's call for Putin's manliness, Russia eventually appealed for international help from the UK, US, Japan, and others. On August 7, 2005, a British Scorpio 45 remotely operated vehicle (ROV), airlifted by the Royal Navy, cut the entangling cables. The AS-28 then ascended under its own buoyancy. All 7 crew members were rescued alive and unharmed. This was a rare successful international submarine rescue collaboration and contrasted with the 2000 Kursk disaster. Aftermath The incident led to investigations into negligence in planning and operations. The AS-28 was later upgraded and remained in service (transferred to the Black Sea Fleet later). It highlighted vulnerabilities in Russia's underwater assets and rescue capabilities at the time. The seven rescued sailors owe their lives to one bestselling author, Michael DiMercurio.

@WassonWatch I like it, but it's still a 30mm GAU-8; the rounds are a mix of HE, incendiary, AP, and there's a secondary mag with 100 0.5kT fusion rounds. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTT SLAM SLAM SLAM {mushroom clouds}

The year is 2756. Humans are not just interplanetary, but interstellar. Space Marines on some far-off rock are trying to capture an objective. Suddenly lasers slice through their position. They're pinned down. They call for CAS. An A-10 screams over the horizon with the latest plasma gattling gun equipped, and obliterates the threat. The Hog continues to reign.

Realistically, how long do you think the A-10 will remain in service?

@cynical11b Having a queue is fine, right? Always nice to have non-critical fun projects hanging out. I have some of those myself, but they're mostly vintage computers.

Gun stuff 42, to hypocrite, or not to hypocrite.... I don't actually track what I have in my shop all the time. Compete working firearms I'm a complete martinet about, but projects carry a looser standard. Example: I thought there were two Winchester 1873 receivers floating around. Turns out, this little gem was purchased by yester-me who wrapped it in an oil soaked rag and promptly forgot about it for a decade or so. It surfaced today, as I was digging for a something else. Manufactured in 1888, all the stampings legible and appear correct to period. Bore is fair to good in .44-40. it will spin a bullet. What you see is all there is, but the dovetails are intact, it could be revived. So the question is,should this be the next project after Project JW (Working name, Project JS)? From this condition, it is about $1000 to functional, more to pretty. I'm honestly at a crossroads on this one. I don't own a 73, but I also never been in love with them like the 92's and 94's. In modern terms, they are clunky, barrel heavy and fussy. They are also one (ONE) of the guns that won the West. What to do....?

Note that once again, the design is a Crescent Moon, symbol of Islam, to prove that Islam is triumphant. (See also the original Flight 93 memorial and an attempted memorial at Ground Zero.)

I think it's incredible how Europeans are reacting to 'Real America' that they don't see on the news or in movies. But they're also discovering other things: Brit: 'It's 32 Celsius today! When should this heatwave end?' (American converts Haven't-Been-To-The-Moon units into Freedom Units.) Southerner: 'November. Hopefully. There's a reason we have air conditioning, mate.'

@Supersonic_Red And they are discovering Southern heat too.

My face when I posted about a nuclear reactor incident that was TOTALLY NOT MY FAULT, and a younger nuclear expert reveals that the incident was required training for his whole class. I feel kinda famous right now.

@jackprandelli What in tardation is this crap? It's a BLOCKADE, which part of that is unclear? In a blockade, every non-compliant hull IS a target. It's easy to not get shot: comply with US Navy instructions. If you don't, the deaths of your crew are on YOU. FFS DBAR

3 Indian sailors are dead after a US strike disabled the tanker MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM says it was carrying Iranian crude and ignored orders. (21 crew were rescued). India has summoned the US chargé d'affaires. This incident will outlast the news cycle. It's the 2nd Indian-crewed, Palau-flagged tanker hit by US forces in a single week (MT Marivex was first; all crew survived). Blockade enforcement is no longer an abstraction between Washington and Tehran. It's now killing 3rd-country seafarers. The world's tanker fleet runs on flags of convenience and Indian, Filipino and Chinese crews. A blockade that treats every non-compliant hull as a target puts those crews at risk. For shipping, this adds a layer on top of Hormuz war-risk premia now extend into the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, crews may refuse Gulf routings, and insurers reprice everything Iran-adjacent. The blockade's cost is no longer just barrels. It's manpower and coverage. video source: current report

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us. It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously. The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it. If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.
