Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Now I want to get one, along with a mini cannon.

 

What could go wrong? It's harmless fun!

What does that say about how dangerous something is when China - home of lead painted children's toys - declares something as unsafe.

 

Hey, we've survived cheap fleamarket blowguns with metal darts for a couple decades...
Enough to puncture soda cans.

Not to mention Lawn Darts, the object was to get the big dart as close to the person as you could.

 

its also really fun to take the plastic backing off and just shoot those at each other haha. they still pack a wallop!

 

Matter of fact no she didn't she just pointed out this below.....

United States Code, Title 13 (Census), Chapter 7 (Offenses and Penalties), SubChapter II, if you're over 18 and refuse to answer all or part of the Census, you can be fined up to $100. If you give false answers, you're subject to a fine of up to $500. If you offer suggestions or information with the "intent to cause inaccurate enumeration of population," you are subject to a fine of up to $1,000, up to a year in prison, or both. Here's the official verbiage:

• 221. Refusal or neglect to answer questions; false answers
• (a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100.
• (b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.
• (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body. Sec. 222. Giving suggestions or information with intent to cause inaccurate enumeration of population Whoever, either directly or indirectly, offers or renders to any officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof engaged in making an enumeration of population under subchapter II, IV, or V of chapter 5 of this title, any suggestion, advice, information or assistance of any kind, with the intent or purpose of causing an inaccurate enumeration of population to be made, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Whats really interesting is they now are cloning local numbers so you think its a local call....

 

All this reminded me of the classic Tom Mabe "How to Deal with a Telemarketer"...

The rack on the chick in the white shorts looks good

 

Guess he ignored the towing capacity sticker...

 

No tie downs either.

 

Odds are he's only going from the field to the barn. When I worked for a farmer tossing hay in high school we used to load the old pickups that hauled the wagons considerably higher than that, without any tie downs, because we weren't going on public roads. If you weave the bales correctly you can get 7 or 8 layers deep before you need to worry about them coming loose.

 

I usually tell them that I am running the Red Star distro (the official OS of North Korea) with the Hazakuzi kernel (total made up BS) which makes my machine appear as a Windows PC.

That usually nets a few seconds of silence or "uhhhh" followed by a dial tone.

 

I forget what comedian said it, but to paraphrase it's rape with an underage girl is involved. If it's a teenage boy it's called 'getting lucky'.

 

The bullet traveled 3,450 meters—over two miles—and took less than 10 seconds to reach its target: a fighter for the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Iraq.

Those are the details of the world record-breaking shot fired by a Canadian sniper, who has eclipsed the previous longest-confirmed kill by almost 1,000 meters.

A member of Canada’s Joint Task Force 2—part of the U.S.-led coalition that is taking the fight to ISIS in Iraq—made the kill during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq, sources told The Globe and Mail. The identity of the sniper and his observer was kept anonymous for operational security reasons.

The sniper used a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle—the standard long-range sniper of the Canadian military—and fired the shot from a high-rise building in an undisclosed location. Firing from such a distance, the shooter would have had to account for wind; the round dropping as it was fired from a higher location; and even the curvature of the earth.

“The shot in question actually disrupted a Daesh [ISIS] attack on Iraqi sources,” a military source told The Globe and Mail . “Instead of dropping a bomb that could potentially kill civilians in the area, it is a very precise application of force and because it was so far away, the bad guys didn’t have a clue what was happening.”


Canada has been involved in the war against ISIS since 2014. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government ordered the withdrawal of six Canadian fighter jets, which had been attacking ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria, in late 2015. But the Trudeau government has expanded the number of Canadian special forces involved in training missions with Kurdish Peshmerga forces, which will grow from 69 to 207.

In response, ISIS has called for attacks in Canada, and several fighters claiming allegiance to the group have gone on shooting sprees in the country. In October 2014, Martin Couture-Rouleau—who was known as Ahmad the Converted—drove a car into two Canadian soldiers near a Quebec mall, killing one. The attacker had had his passport revoked months earlier after showing sympathies for ISIS and expressing a desire to travel to Iraq.

Two days after the attack, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian-Libyan, shot and killed a Canadian soldier at the National War Memorial before breaking into the parliament buildings, where he was shot dead. Canada's then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that the attacker had been motivated by Canada’s participation in the war against ISIS.

The world record sniper shot means that three of the top five longest confirmed kills were carried out by Canadian snipers. The top five are:

1. Canadian sniper in Iraq (2017): 3,450 meters.
   
   
2. British sniper Craig Harrison in Afghanistan (2009): 2,475 meters
   
   
3. Canadian sniper Rob Furlong in Afghanistan (2002): 2,430 meters
   
   
4. Canadian sniper Arron Perry in Afghanistan (2002): 2,310 meters
   
   
5. U.S. sniper Brian Kemer in Iraq (2004): 2,300 meters
   

 

So the warehouse that I work in is in the same industrial park as a local energy company (heating oil, propane, pellets, etc). They've got two 30,000 gallon propane tanks in their yard, along with underground storage tanks of unknown capacity for K1 and #2 heating fuel. There's 'No Smoking' signs plastered all over the place in their yard, and right now there's two guys burning off old oil from a retired residential tank in what's basically a chimnea with an oil pump. It's shooting flames about 12-15 feet in the air and you can feel the heat from the road that's about 30 feet away.
