  1. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    You did notice those 120+ rounds a minute guns on the patrol boats, right? They would clear a way out fairly quickly.
  2. Things that make you go WTF

    Yes, they are used. The book in question had been out of print for a while. The one $95 is "like new", i.e. book collector grade. The others are "reader" grade. While I tend to accumulate, I'm a reader, not a collector.

    It's not technically mlooney's list, it's my evil twin /me's list. /me makes an entry to the list about other peoples entries on the list. Draws a line below some of the names and puts a pentagram near them.
  4. Things that make you go WTF

    I went looking around on Amazon for yet more books about machines that blow up carp. I found this The Panzer Legions: A Guide to the German Army Tank Divisions of World War II and Their Commanders Kindle version price - $90.25 Cheapest Paperback price - $2.95 Cheapest Hardback price - $11.32 Most expensive dead tree version $95.00 Have they lost their ever loving mind? An ebook that is only $5 cheaper than a book collector grade hard back?
  5. What Are You Ingesting?

    Hazelnut coffee with hazelnut cream with cream and sugar.
  6. What Are You Watching?

    Not watching them right now, as such, but effective about 3 hours ago I have all the Mythbusters ever done and series 1-21 of Top Gear.
  7. Things You Find Amusing

    Were-hares that know kick boxing and were honey badgers that don't give a fork. Please to note that Clover, the were-honey badger, in panel one, got stabbed with poison that seems to effect were creatures, while still in human form. Her response? Pause, light a cigarette, change to hybrid form, then rip the manikin/golems head off.

    Assuming both are you are right, and the pretzel place in Woodland Hills mall is average, 1/4 as much salt is still to damn much most of the time.
  9. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    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
  14. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    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.
  17. What Are You Ingesting?

    Oh sorry about that.
  18. What Are You Ingesting?

    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.
  20. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    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
  21. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    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.
  22. Things That Are Just Annoying

    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.
  23. Story Monday November 21, 2016

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

    That's Jinx, and of course he has his taser-bullwhip...
