Ah, dude, in 1940 25% of the "German" tank force was ex-Czech tanks, Pz-38(t), which had 25mm of armor. The first "up armored" PZ-III was the Ausf H, which had 30+30mm on the hull only. The rest of the tank, rear include was 30mm. The Ausf J had 30 all around on the turret and 50 on the hull. The H came out in late 40, the J in March of 41. The Germans didn't armor crazy until about 3 months after they started running into T-34 in numbers. Source:Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War II (Peter Chamberlain), pages 64-66 inclusive.

The last time we heard it, there was good evidence the Elliot was getting a new spell, maybe not a girly one.

Modern KE rounds, APDS (or APFDDS or APFSDUDS) are great big hunking chunks of steel|titanium|depleted uranium with no explosive filler. Called shells.

That might be true. This also might be true.

Well, she wanted Rhoda and Grace to have clean hands here

Shells, any thing over 15 mm is a shell, not a bullet. All of you are missing a major point. Modern patrol boats carry missiles that have a minimum range that is greater than ANY arrow range. The patrol boats will sit at the horizon and blow the formation to little bitty bits, then close in to about 2 nautical miles and blow the carp out of any thing still floating. Some exact details, from the 2014 World Wide Equipment Guide, Vol 3, page 1-13 (This is one of the most common FAC in proliferation today.) HOUJIAN Fast Attack Craft Weapons: Armed with 5 C-801/YJ-1 anti-ship missiles that are known as the Strike Eagle (successor to the Styx). After it is launched, the Strike Eagle reaches an altitude of 50 meters and then descends in its approach to the target at an altitude of 20-30 meters. The terminal approach phase (when the radar seeker has acquired the target) is at an altitude of 5-7 meters. The Square Tie search radar is associated with the Strike Eagle missile: C-801/YJ-1 Weight: 1,796 pounds Speed: Mach 0.9 Range: 23 nautical miles (4.5 nautical miles is the minimum range) 37-mm/63 Type 76A: Rate of fire: 180 rounds/minute Range: 4.6 nautical miles 30 mm/65 Type 69: Rate of fire: 500 rounds/minute Range: 2.7 nautical miles Just a point of information, up until about 1943 a 37mm gun was thought of as tank or anti-tank gun. Even firing solid shot, which these aren't, they would shred a wooden target.

Susan be sarcastic? That is unpossible!

She said she didn't, which I took to mean not from her chest. I think she got a new spell. Or she has her call things from her chest spell on hair trigger now.

Oh sorry about that.

3 zucchini squash made with Greek seasoning and herb butter, plus a glass of milk on the side. As to why I'm eating that at 1:30 in the morning, I woke up and that sounded good.

I'm not so sure about that, I suspect that varies with the mall in question. As to plot, I suspect today's strip is a set up for actual hijinks of Friday.

I get SSDI, which at it's full value is the amount you would get if you waited until you were to retire at 66 -

The way that section 8 works it would cost me more to be on it than off it. It is one third of your income, which would make my $400 apt a $500 apt. -
Not sure what it was. I went back to sleep right after I wrote that and woke up about noon, and feel like I should go back to bed, which I may or may not do.

Wednesday, when we get Susan's reply is going to be weird.

Waking up in the wee hours of the morning with almost all the symptoms of a hangover when you didn't drink the night before. I strongly suspect migraine Prodromal stage so I am taking my standard mix of early migraine medications to hopefully stop it. If nothing else they will work on standard headaches and I'm drinking several glasses of water on the chance it's dehydration caused by some source I can't think of right now. Regardless very freaking annoying.

You mean, of course, a version of 'Dew...

Jinks have been spotted at the mall! Please take action as needed.

Good News! (™ James May) I got my medicare card today! Bad New! (™ J. Michael Looney) It isn't valid until 03/01/2017 (That's March 1st for those people that might think that means 3rd of January) -
Just for the record F72 is the clinical/billing code way of saying Severe intellectual disabilities Applicable To IQ 20-25 to 35-40 Severe mental subnormality Cut and pasted from here It's not "mental illness" it's the clinical version of the r word.

Consider the joke with the punch line of "hand egg" done for this year...
-
Is "They fit a 318.2 diagnosis" or "They code as F72" off limits as well?

Doing the first `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` on a Ubuntu virtual machine. Damn that takes a while.
