The forgotten M-LOK war... x.com/the4t7/status/…

@DocStrangelove2 It might have been the USMC M60s that I used were just shot out, but I never had any of them run worth a damn compared to the M240 and M249s.

It's time to choose once again. M60 or 240B? (I lean towards M60)

@swedishsteel Saabs were just too good to last. The 900 turbo was an engineering work of art and the 99 turbo was sublime. The industry demanded they conform or die. Saab chose death.

One day they just stopped making Saabs.

After becoming the first people to walk on the Moon, many Apollo astronauts reportedly battled serious depression. Being the first people to walk on the Moon, their place in history was permanently secured. No matter what they accomplished afterward, nothing would top that and everything else seemed unimportant by comparison.

Either these dudes faked the moon landing, or they saw some unexplainable sht while they were up there..

@MdrnWarrior7 I remember the engineers frantically building the all metal frames to support the M60s for the softtops. Depicted on this drawing (which was started in the same Kuwaiti oil fields just after the ceasefire).

@Bellagiotime One of the most disappointing things about the Tesla Model S and Model X Plaids is a distinct lack of actual plaid in the interior.

@DonnaPence5 @Jason_R_Burt I had to stop reading for a bit after Peleliu. Needed to reflect a bit before moving on to the Okinawa chapters.

@richmfitz @Jason_R_Burt Great book

@rpmculture Vector W8, nice.

Culture Gems is back on twitter 🏎️💨❤️‍🔥

Japan still practices hōjutsu, a traditional martial art focused on 16th-century firearms, with demonstrations at festivals.

@kangminlee So does that mean if I steal Kentanji Brown Jackson's purse, I am now a member of the Supreme Court?

How is this not an April Fool’s joke We are ruled by retards

@TopGear_JAPAN The Bond car was a convertible (only two ever made). Personally I like the lines of the hardtop better. silodrome.com/toyota-2000gt-…

「2.1億円の価値を持つ、トヨタの最高到達点」 1960年代、世界を驚愕させたムーンショット『トヨタ 2000GT』。 ヤマハのピアノ職人が磨き上げたウッドダッシュボード、ボンドカーとして銀幕を飾った美貌、そしてLFAへと受け継がれた直6の咆哮。 「ポルシェ 911を凌ぎ、ジャガー Eタイプより美しい」と英国メディアが絶賛した、日本車の誇り。 そのステアリングを握り、60年前のエンジニアたちが込めた“魂”に触れる。 ↓

@DangInterceptor Nicely Done Interceptor. 👍

せっかくアメリカ人と知り合えるチャンスが到来したのに肉と銃ばかり。いやそれも楽しんでるがw クリーブランド351やマッドマックスが好きな人と友達になりたい。

@CynicalPublius @Locutus84904647 Serenity was a good watch.

@Locutus84904647 Firefly and its companion movie Serenity.

アメリカへ 日本に来たアメリカのスペースオペラはスタートレック、スターウォーズ、バトルスターギャラクティカ、スターゲイト、バビロン5があるけど、他にどんなものがありますか？ 書き切れていない作品もあるかも。

@bluelivesmtr If you put three anvils in a room with a group of Marines and come back an hour later, one of the anvils will be broken and another will be missing.

Can ANYONE explain this to us? We've now learned that a Marine, just 23, is accused of stealing a missile system and selling it in Arizona. How the heck does a young Marine not just get access to a weapon like that - but then be able to flip it on the black market?!?! REPOST this everywhere! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@zundamotisuki Yes!

私は前まで左翼は日本の恥だと思っていました イーロンのお陰で少しの間違えに気がつけました 左翼は『世界』の恥だ！！！！！

@chineseguypulpo After reading the post below I now realize this was a Japanese joke directed at all the youth drivers with the glowing license plates.

@chineseguypulpo When I was stationed on Okinawa in 88, I bought a car (an old RX7) over there and asked about those glowing plates for it. I was told that they were for drivers under driving probation and it was so the police could identify easier. Never did confirm if that was true or not.

Dawg they got glowing license plates over there, we are getting car aura mogged

Awesome.

@ShamashAran Depends where you are in the US. 10 minutes down the road from me in Texas is a big flower barn that has no one working there. Just an honor box at the door for you to pay for anything you take.

You should see what is required to keep a vending machine safe in America, this is why we don't ahve more of them, because we are too lenient on criminals who ruin everything.

Not forgetting this one also... x.com/the4t7/status/…
