Sadly there have been people who lived to be 99 or 100 while having remarkably unhealthy lifestyles.

Range - Trump was over 300 yards away from the shooter.

He was around 150 yards. Not 300.

But if he had a proper target rifle in a better long range caliber and a telescopic sight he would have had a much better chance of succeeding.

At that distance and wind conditions a chest shot would have been better. But he aimed for the head.

Shit, mentioning the T1 really made me have a minor flashback. Yeah. Back in the 90s computer processing power varied dramatically between users. Like when I got a 386 around 1990 it had a whooping 40mb of space and 1mb of RAM. It was a lot for the time. We never had to run anything directly off disks. But just 3 years later when Doom came out (and I remember the launch of Doom) i was surprised that we couldn't have it because it needed 4mbs of RAM. Also our computer wasn't fast enough anymore so when we DID finally get it years later we needed to use the smaller screen option to get it to run fast enough otherwise it was too choppy to play.

Someone playing Quake, a game that only came out a few years later, with that kind of machine you're talking about would dominate. Not because of skill, but simply that his comp has the speed that can allow him to act and react much faster than his opponents.

It would be like if you took a modern formula one race car from 2025 to a formula one race in 1925. A medicore driver would win, but not for skill.

The 80s sucked. Pop culture makes it look cooler than it was. Imagine going back time thinking it'll be cool only to end up impoverished and having to deal with a crime rate massively higher than today.

Jesus fucking Christ. America during ww2 would have lost badly if this type of shit was going on back then. From day 1 all countries on the allied side mass employed women in roles previously held exclusively by men.

Look up the WASPs and the WAVES during ww2. Not to mention the sheer amount of women working in manufacturing and transport and other stuff. Rosey the riveter was real. Marlin Monroe, one of the sexiest women of all time was one such gal during the war.

And don't get me started on munitions plants. Women were employed in manufacturing high explosives from day 1 (there are photographs from the 1890s showing women mixing nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth to make dynamite, and the manufacture of blasting caps, the stuff using the most sensitive explosives, was the sole domain of women for a long time). WW2 Orientation films from Canada show this.

That woman EARNED her position. She is not DEI. But Pete Hegseth IS DEI.

Dieselpunk all the way!

Vyle Shitsinhouse.

He died of acute lead poisoning. He was born in a leaded house with leaded gasoline on the farm. The bullets didn't do anything.

And right after that, he was with me playing video games and chilling. We played some classic games that he was too young to enjoy first game. He enjoyed it. I then made him a nice spaghetti lunch.

They have nukes. Also the nuclear doctrine of Russia is more lax than other countries. Attacking Russia by conventional means is grounds for them to use them.

The only word in my head to describe this is 'idiot'.

I remember looking at a documentary about America in the early colonial days in the 17th century. Apparently it took a while for racism to truly become a thing, and the absolute first black people to come in were also indentured servants. After racism started becoming codified at one point they reenslaved some blacks who were freed or never slaves to begin with.

What we are seeing is the precedent that was set back then being reused. Pulling absolute random people and just selling them into slavery.

It also makes sense that most of the people have no criminal records. People who are violent criminals, or have a violent criminal history, are often difficult to control. By getting people who have no criminal history and treating them like murderers and drug smugglers, makes it easy to dehumanize them and demonize them but also still easy to control.

Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.

I am aware. I am just saying it's appearance is something else.

To quote General George Patton, "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow."

BTW, there is a riddle I want to say to illustrate how important that is... tell me? What is always coming but never truly arrives?

I was an Angry Video Game Nerd fan back when he started in 2006. Early youtube, with its 500 character limit and 5 minute limited videos was a different place all together. Fun silly videos and quick 'angry' retro gaming reviews.

Most people back then didn't have any production values. They were just people talking into a cheap Webcam or cheap camera and uploading it. What they lacked in production value they made up in authenticity and sincerity. They weren't working an algorithm, they were truly speaking from the heart.

Avgas is the last hold out for that, yes. But piston powered airplanes are becoming rarer and rarer.

I am aware. I am an elder millennial and I remember gas pumps in the 90s with leaded and unleaded gasoline. I also remember the PSAs against it.

Yes. How fucking embarrassing would it be for the first artist to set the standard of the t-rex as this intimidating best only for into look like a phat chicken...

And feathers... and feathered wings on its tiny arms...
