@filterofth74624 @MbarkCherguia They went through various ones over the years. I was young enough to not care about model numbers or anything, just recognized that they had this type of truck and it said "Datsun" on it. The pic was a random google find on the search "Datsun small truck."

Does anyone remember a car called Datsun before it was renamed Nissan?

@MerriamWebster I've always liked this: Read and lead rhyme, but read and lead do not. Read and lead also rhyme, but read and lead do not either.

The "Kentucky Ballistics" YT channel shows off a lot of guns and occasionally does things like shooting vehicles trying to disable them (and failing until a lucky hit damages something critical), shooting through doors the H-wood shows as providing perfect cover, shooting armored trucks and showing which things penetrate even if not "armor piercing" rounds (but also showing how much better AP round actually do) and more. He's even got a punt gun (massive shotgun). Very educational and fun!

When I was a kid I wanted to shoot my dad’s 12ga shotgun. I had seen some action movies and in those they always used buckshot (double aught) for maximum damage so I wanted to try that. We had an old wooden door and I wanted to blast a giant hole in it and turn it into toothpicks so dad stood it up against a post and let me shoot it. 9 little holes, that was it. I was disappointed. I say this because I think the vast majority of people have a Hollywood idea of how guns work and most of them never get beyond that.

@landofthe80s I own the blu-ray and watch it every so often. I also own the soundtrack and listen to it every few months. So good!

I read a lot. I called my firends and we all met up at the park. Or they'd come over and we'd play some sort of modified baseball in the front yard (modified so we wouldn't break windows). Or we'd just go ride our bikes around. Play with our action figures. Play board games. Eventually we got Atari, or ColecoVision or Intellivision, or even Apple 2 computers and we started playing video games at home instead of at the arcade. Once we could drive we'd head down into the city and hang around there too. We went to dances, sports events, would go wade in the creek, catch frogs in Lake Louise, swing at the school playground. Explore the town and find out where all the streets actually went. There was always *something* to do, if we wanted.

I've met one of the members of this band. One of my friends married him, so we all got together for dinner when I was on a business trip in SoCal a few years ago. He's also written children's books so he signed a copy for my daughter. He also co-created that Yo Gabba Gabba kids show and does a lot of illustration work - the current version of "Ranger Rick" is by him.

You've never seen anything by Twice, I take it? They are serotonin in music form. The ability of nearly every song they sing to make anyone listening just smile and not be sure why is their commonly cited superpower. I am hardly ever unhappy when my daughter shows me their latest release. Not every song, but a surprisingly high amount of them, especially their older work. An example: youtube.com/watch?v=rRzxEi…

I used to like to watch streamers platy Civilization games to learn some tips, tricks, and synergies I hadn't thought of, but I noticed real quick that they all exclusively played on "Deity" level and this were incredibly constrained in how they had to play so as to be able to gain a victory over all the advantages that the "computer opponents" had over the player. It was incredibly boring to watch as a result. Until I quit the Civ series, I continued to play the lower diffculty levels so I could actually play around with it, actuallyl build a world wonder instead of having to conquer it, etc. Way more fun for me.

EASY MODE IN GAMES IS FOR TOURISTS, CUCKS, GAY AND FEMALE okay, but it's also for: - people with full time jobs, three kids and zero free time - people with arthritis who used to speedrun ghosts n goblins in the 80s - people who just want to enjoy the story without a migraine - and people with a 200 game backlog who would like to finish at least one before they die call us tourists, we'll just keep doing what makes us happy
Leonel G@Leonel_Gun

@bonniepetitex No, people that play in baby mode are tourists, cucks, gay or female. They are not real gamers they will come with a lot of excuses but the games of old didn't come with difficulty selection for weak "gamers".

I lost my IG account some years back after I set it to private and deleted all of my pics off of it. No idea why, their email just said that I violated the rules and sent a link to the entire list of rules, never specifiying which rule I was violating. I was able to appeal and did so, even sending them a selfie holding a post-it I'd written a number they'd sent to me on, but still got banned. Oddly enough, they didn't touch my FB account, despite the accounts being linked. The only difference I saw in my life is that if someone sent me an IG link that I'd get a popup asking me to sign in before it would show me whatever the link was to, but since I was banned, well.... I haven't clicked on IG links since finding that out, and I've honestly not noticed any difference in my life by not having IG available to me. My FB I really just use to chat with a couple of former co-workers, who I can also reach via other messaging services, so if I lost that it wouldn't really affect me either.

Meta suspended my FB account because an Instagram account I haven't touched in over 12 months apparently doesn't follow some rule. I'm told to log in to that account to appeal, but I can't; it's no longer there. I don't have access to Meta Accounts until I appeal from the account I don't have access to because it's deleted. This is a gift.

So.. the other day I mentioned learning of a "Super Typhoon" in the Pacific that was going to hit american territory, and metioned that I thought it would probably be ignored. Today I went looking to see if I could find any news reports about the aftermath, and all I could find was this 1 local paper from Guam reporting on it, and it's focus was more on how *the entire power grid going down* affected 1,800 tourists rather than the ~170,000 residents of the island. Kinda sad, IMO. pacificislandtimes.com/post/sinlaku-d…

@mitchellvii I always looks up my route beforehand to make sure that nothing like this "pleasant surprise" ever happens. I never just get in the car and then type in the address. Ever.

NIGHTMARE GPS STORY: So I'm driving to meet my sister at her nursing home where she is convalescing in the mountains of West Virginia. I'm following my GPS and it tells me to turn down this gravel road. I figure ok, this is probably only a hundred feet or so. No, it was 30 miles of gravel, potholes coal dust and dodging massive coal trucks passing the opposite direction. Damn you GPS! My brand new car driving through HELL for 30 miles. I haven't tried to wash the car yet so I'm hoping there are no big scratches. What a nightmare! Has a GPS ever led you astray?

@CynicalPublius These 3 men are "just Reservists" and were "in a safe area" in Kuwait but they were attacked, watched 6 of their friends die, and now have Purple Hearts which awarded this past Sunday. I think they most definitely qualify as veterans.

I get slightly mad at veterans who feel it is unfair that they call themselves veterans because they never served in a combat zone. I always tell them: "You raised your right hand. You were ready to die for your country. You're a veteran." This is particularly true for Cold War vets who stared down the Soviets. There should be an official Cold War Service Medal.
Happy Captain@EODHappyCaptain

Social media proves that No one gatekeeps being a veteran, like a veteran It seems online there is always a reason you’re not part of the club. You don’t have the right award. You didn’t see combat. You saw the wrong type of combat For what it’s worth, I’m proud of all of you.
