🚨BREAKING🚨 Lamda Lamda Lamda and Omega Mu have backed out of the #FreeDumb250 concert series.

Developed from the Lockheed T-33 family, the Lockheed T-1A SeaStar was designed specifically for aircraft carrier training operations with strengthened landing gear, naval avionics, and arrestor gear. Entering service in 1957, the SeaStar served briefly with the US Navy before being replaced by the North American T-2 Buckeye, with retired aircraft later stored at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. bit.ly/4dXwNRw

@ClaudesBBQ Yeah, have similar racks - 24 hours before is what I like, then wipe off any excess. My wife dislikes “too salty” so 24 or even longer lets it set. Then Sous Vide or Smoke with sear at the end. That looks like some some good eating

Salt and into the fridge

@sluts_guts Every time someone mentions sausage I ask if they have seen this…was a teenager (13) when first saw and this remains a classic

Now Watching: Motel Hell (1980)

This was made over 250 years before Achilles slew Hector. Over 1000 years before the publication of Plato’s Republic. Literally an unthinkable level of craftsmanship for the time.

World is aflame. Up to everyone to stand up not only for what is right, but to work to ensure wrong is defeated. We do not have to live like this - not Americans, not Irish, not English…but that is a choice

Makes me want do a bug build. Wife would kill me as still have a 280 build to finish…but would be cool

A Crusader getting hooked for launch. ​While everyone remembers the F-8 as the "Last of the Gunfighters," the jet spent a massive amount of time hauling mud in Vietnam. Notice the loadout? Those aren't AAMs, but unguided Zuni rockets mounted on the side. ​In all, the F-8 could carry 5,000 lbs of ordnance. Marine pilots absolutely loved it for CAS because it could get low and fast, and they loved using its four 20mm cannons for precision strafing when things got messy in the elephant grass.

Incredible bravery from every part of the fleet. The Japanese thought they had encountered cruisers, and the ferocious attack leading to the Japanese calling for withdrawal saved the beaches. Sadly, rescue of the survivors didn’t even start for 2 days and there is no credible source as to “why?”. Most likely, IMHO command just lost track of the need to rescue in the chaos. After Samar sadly the first Kamikaze attacks occured sinking the St. Lo

A tiny American destroyer charged first into the path of the Yamato, the largest battleship ever built. Her five inch shells could not seriously hurt battleship armor. She charged anyway, leading the way into an entire enemy fleet. What her crew did saved thousands of American lives. This is the story of the USS Johnston..🧵1/6

The Italian Savoia-Marchetti S.66, designed and built in 1931 by Savoia-Marchetti as an enlarged S.55 with three Fiat engines. It served Ala Littoria on Mediterranean routes before military use with the Regia Aeronautica until 1943. 👀

At Harvard, Theodore Roosevelt wrote his senior thesis on the War of 1812 It was so good that a publisher bought it before he graduated He was only 22 The book is still considered the definitive work on that conflict It is also considered Franklin Roosevelt's favorite book by some historians

I today years old …this is getting added to my toolkit

No lies 🥴

Universal healthcare is a race to the bottom, and a horrible idea. What is needed is correction to the current claims, insurance and charges/“coding” to remove what is frankly organized crime - enabled by the government regulatory / Obamacare. More complex that that but works as a highlight reel

I’m trying to prove a point so be honest Do you support or oppose the implementation of a universal healthcare system in the United States where the government ensures all citizens have access to essential medical care regardless of income?

@mercoglianos @cpgrabow @DOTMARAD Sal, keeping everyone honest. You would have made a great consigliere

Perhaps this has more to do with California closing 17% of its total refinery capacity over the last year than the Strait of Hormuz. And perhaps, the companies should have planned for this and invested in new tankers to meet this expected demand? Phillips 66 plant on Wilmington produced 139,000 barrels per day. Valero's Benecia plant produced 145,000 barrels per day. About 10% of refined oil produces jet fuel. So, California has been losing 13,900 barrels of jet fuel from Wilmington since Oct 2024 and 14,500 barrels of jet fuel from Valencia since this April. That adds up to over 7M bbls from Wilmington and 435k bbls from Valencia. This seems to be a lot more than what has been imported. Can you direct me to your posts about the impact of these closures on the citizens of Califonria for having to import jet fuel into the state? eia.gov/todayinenergy/…

New @DOTMARAD Jones Act waiver data is out. More jet fuel has now been moved by water from the Gulf Coast to the West Coast in 73 days (917,000 barrels) than the combined total from 2004-2025 (817,000 barrels).

On Palm Sunday morning April 18 1943, 18 American P-38 Lightning fighters took off from Guadalcanal at dawn. 16 of them would continue on a 1,000 mile round trip mission across open ocean. Their target was a single Mitsubishi G4M Betty bomber. Inside that bomber was the Japanese admiral who had planned the attack on Pearl Harbor. American codebreakers had handed his flight itinerary to the Navy 4 days earlier. This is the story of Operation Vengeance..🧵1/6

If it wasn’t true, everyone would think this is a work of Hollywood writers. While Yamamoto is deserving of respect, he was also the key architect of the Japanese offensive and his loss was a singular blow to Japan. They were not deep with leaders that had his strategic and tactical sense, a byproduct of their military system. Amazing that the wreck can still be found and visited, I do hope protected from looting. pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/g4m/2…
