Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton was a legendary Appalachian moonshiner from Maggie Valley, North Carolina, known for producing what many considered exceptional moonshine. His trademark overalls, fedora, and long beard made him a recognizable folk figure. Sutton openly shared his methods in books and videos, even as his work remained illegal.
In 2008, authorities arrested him and seized more than 1,700 gallons of moonshine. The following year, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Rather than serve the sentence, Sutton ended his life, a choice many viewed as a final assertion of independence. His death only deepened his legend, inspiring documentaries, books, and a whiskey brand bearing his name.

@SGTWipper1Each When I got out my job was mostly 6-10’s and 7-12’s and by the time it let up it had expired. Kick myself all the time for that.

@oldGabePowers @goodbreffis I prefer my hotdogs and hamburgers on white bread.

@goodbreffis Can't people run to the dollar store for a pack of buns? People act like they are proud to be so poor or lazy that they use white bread slices for a hotdog bun.

I’ve finally decided to read the entire bible. So far, I’ve read Genesis and Exodus. I’m obviously really interested in reading the Gospels and New Testament. I’m debating skipping ahead to the Gospels. What do you recommend I do: Read the bible from front to back or skip ahead and read the Gospels (or entire New Testament) and then go back to the Old Testament.

John Brown was a murderous terrorist who tried to inflict the white genocide in Haiti upon Virginians, who had the mildest form of slavery in the United States
The only thing to learn from John Brown is that these people can’t be reasoned with. They must be crushed, or they will do to us what they did to Haiti and what John Brown tried to do to Virginia

@wil_da_beast630 The primary sources would be battlefield reports, which were usually a compilation of report summaries from many different commanders, and which were summarized by secretaries, who also weren't there lol

I like Matt, but "Most of what you know about the Civil War came from people who weren't there is an all-time line.

I’d never thought to use primary sources for historical research. Very cool.

Note the exhaust from the diesel emergency generator. You do not enter a drydock running the reactor critical. Oh, no, sir, you do not. And all that exhaust makes for such a fine day of conning the boat, lemme tellya. (cough cough)
