Ah hell, I’ll jump in. So as some folks here and on Oppositelock know, I’m Trans.

Total side note, the only thing of interest in Ocala (unless you have a crippling meth habit) is the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. They’ve probably got at least 200 or so cars on display, or at least they did when I was last there almost a decade ago.

I find all survival horror games are much more enjoyable with production music going, such as “Shopping Street”.

It’s unfortunate that the Russians have put themselves into an adversarial role. It’s unnecessary and unproductive. But given this reality, they have every reason to fear a conventional war with the U.S./NATO. The odds would be heavily against the Russians. This is why they feel the need to resort to extreme…

Salaries aside, pilots have a vested interest in getting the plane down safely.

Anyway about 15 years ago I was out with a buddy wheeling the local mountains which was a popular area, and the trail we were on completely eroded as I drove over…

That run was not going to end well from the start. The beautiful green flames early in the run are burning copper head gaskets. Shortly after that, a cylinder on the left looses fire and you see raw nitromethane coming out. The loss of exhaust thrust makes the car head towards the wall. Terry corrects and brings the…

Kaboom.

The fine, but finite, balance between internal and external combustion.

In the above photograph, we clearly see the Unit Identification code of SR-71A 64-17963* painted in “blood red,” with the unique tail stripe of the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron, 9th Reconnaisance Wing, Beal AFB, California.
