NW Florida, very conservative. Saw one in Taco Bell a month ago. Before that it had been a couple of years.

These are pricey, but you will be happy. Got these 4-years ago and they’re strong, soft, no holes.

Not a “known” serial killer, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this guy killed more than the one woman he ate and raped (her corpse):

Buddy of mine picked up old washers and dryers for free or close enough. Fixed and flipped 'em on eBay marketplace. Made several hundred a week.

The genius is that those appliances are easy to work on and usually have compatible parts. I went over to get a part from him and there were only 2 that fit all American washers.

I used to pick up vacuum cleaners on my paper route. Got stoned at night and cleaned them, maybe added a new belt and bag, perfect. Sold for $20 a pop. (This was in the 90s).

Another friend used to go out with her husband early on trash days and pick up free stuff by the road. Had a garage sale every Saturday, 6-7 hours tops, made $300-$400. “We take our neighbor’s trash and sell it back to them!”

Footfall nails this. Aliens show up and drop rocks on us from orbit. The reason we prevail is the only plot I’ve read that makes sense.

Yes, we’re that dumb. The China Syndrome, a movie about on out-of-control reactor meltdown, hit theaters 12-days (March 16, 1979) before the Three Mile Island incident (March 28, 1979). The US quit building reactors because of a Hollywood movie.

Started Grimm’s tales today. First story: A lady in waiting screws the princess out of her husband and takes her place. Once the king figures it out he asks the fraud how she would punish a person who did such a thing.

“Throw her in a box with a buncha nails pointing inwards and drag her happy ass behind two white horses until she’s fucking dead.”

(I’m paraphrasing.)

King: 10-4. I know you’re the fraud. Have fun with your recommended sentence.

See the Turtle! Ain’t he keen!

We used to say that peeling your beer label was a sign of sexual frustration. Hmmmm…

Solid explanation. I’d only add that I see the word in fiction used to describe Europeans and Americans as expats if they’ve been overseas for years and not even working. Seems to be people who eventually mean to return home.

Can we get The Black Sun while we’re at it?

It’s called “growing up”.

Colin was a zombie movie told from the point of view of the guy turning into a zombie. Made headlines at the time because the guys that created it only spent 220£. I believe it was only shown at a film festive, but crappy copies are to be found online.

I remember liking it at the time, and it has a great ending! Not sure how it would hold up, but I finally found a watchable copy.

Got this one. Only one on the market I know of.

Same bolt came in my Han Solo pistol.

It’s worked surprisingly well in the past, but I just put a heavy (H3) weight in to reduce recoil, probably won’t cycle .22LR any longer. And BTW, that heavy weight is a dream! My wife’s friend brought his stock AR to our camp and I was shocked how much harder it kicked.

Yep, that’s mostly what I meant. It’s a meaningless adjective but since the source is a Christian outfit, they had to shoe horn it in.

faith-based film

Hell does that even mean?! And of course they have to point out that he’s an actor and a Christian.

The whole article doesn’t amount to a paragraph and lemmy acting like it’s Xtian propaganda.

It’s damned hard for a shotgun to end up useless. I restore old shotguns, have one from most decades starting in the 1890s. No matter how beat they were when they showed up, they worked just fine.

It’s about a military chaplain. That’s it. Look at the source. The headline is pure spin.

I have an easily swapable bolt that let’s my AR-15 shoot .22LR. Pretty nifty, though not quite as accurate since the bullet is .003 thinner.
