I still have some of those NH highway tokens! Those were the days.

I know exactly where this happened; I’ve gone walking & trail running through Seward Park many times. It’s one of the most beautiful spots in Seattle, an extremely small yet ecologically rich fragment of old-growth forest that was somehow saved from the axe back in the early days of the city.

SimTower was one of the BEST early “Sim” series games. It’s a pity it’s a convoluted process to even get it working in a modern OS. We need a compatible port of the old SimTower; the gameplay is still plenty good enough to stand against contemporary management games.

One of my favorite actors by far. He was amazing in Clear and Present Danger, even with the dumb studio-mandated ending they were forced to shoehorn into the movie. And don’t forget his insanely weird performance in Straight to Hell, bloody makeout session and all.

Enjoy. Straight to Hell is one of my all-time favorites. Changed my life back in the late ‘80s when some older punk friends sat me down in front of it.

Well, shit. Now we need “Weirdest Thing” articles about the other classic Alex Cox films...

“Geez... why’re you so tense, GUY?”

Yep, been there, I grew up square under the pattern for a base with a large resident population of F-111s. Damn things would just about shake glass out of a window frame.

There is indeed some truth to your statement.

The weird field of view out of that windshield would likely make it unnecessarily difficult to do any sort of tricky maneuvering. With the assumption that this vehicle is intended to be employed in and around barricades, broken terrain and other hazards, you really have to wonder what the hell the designers were…

The machine gun on top of the turret looks to me like it’s an NSV. Soviet-designed replacement for the venerable DsHK machine gun. Fires 12.7mm, definitely a nightmare for those on the receiving end.

While that may seem like a simple fix to you, there are enormous differences in fuel consumption, required maintenance and operating procedures between AFVs with diesel engines (the T-64) and those powered by turbines (the M-1).

Get bent.

Part of a fine tradition of covert, coalition-building SF operations going back through the Green Beret and CIA campaigns in Afghanistan, SOG during the Vietnam War and the Jedburghs & OSS in World War II.

This is just the tip of the spear of the huge (and growing) covert anti-ISIS operation involving damn-near every sort of SF organization and shadowy unit in the US military. Bet your ass these folks are equipped with their choice of optics and accessories.

I will say, a nice Sativa can really help concentration in some situations. I think part of the problem here (besides the obvious sketchy situation of DUI) is of common perception of marijuana as making everyone dopey and ridiculous, like Jim Breuer in Half Baked or something.

Hah, it ain’t often you hear bullshit for a GOOD cause. We all know why they changed the name from ISIS, it doesn’t matter if the devs don’t want to come out and say it.

They’re all US Navy hull designations for various classes of ships.

Peter Berg made damn sure that movie was just plain awful instead of (possibly?) gloriously cheesy.
