    FYI, Autoanything is having a sale on Bilstein shocks. Lowest prices I've seen in a while.

    Oh well. If it was over the weekend I didn't even see those pages, lol.

    Would certainly explain the lack of spin on the bullet. :notsure:

    I just figured there would be a reference point and the software would 'unspin' it. If it is a hoax, that's a bummer but I bet we're not too far from it being a reality. Electronics are getting more and more advanced these days. I'd be mostly impressed with getting a camera to take the blast from firing and the extreme acceleration down the tube.

    Here is another one for you.

    On the Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett.

    It is about rescue of a couple of Americans that get taken prisoner during the start of the Iranian Revolution in 1978.
    One of the star players in getting these two out was Ross Perot. Some of you people may remember him from his presidential run in 1992.

    My Father was a teen, but served on a DE in the Atlantic until the shooting stopped. His ship was on the way to Okinawa, when one of the engines failed 2 days out of Pearl. That's where he sat out the rest of the war.
    OTOH, his brother (my uncle) was a combat engineer attached to Patton's Third Army. Went from Western France all the way to the Pilsen region of Cz.

    Another old friend of mine was 1st wave Omaha Beach. Never told anyone till the 50th anniversary. Then he opened up.

    I think it has to be. There's no way for instant communication between your phone and the target that's hundreds of yards away that can fit in a bullet. Plus it would have to be a slow motion camera, which are usually much larger than their counterparts. The bullet spin would be substantial as well! Plus, is there really a market for this? A spotter scope is more than enough to dial in a rifle IMO.

    As much as I want this, I think it has to be an April Fools joke.

    If you can find a version of this with halfway decent sub-titles, it's worth the trouble.
    Film is very dark...and deep.

    Netflix has it, but not for streaming. I just realized my phone switched Unsere to Unsure. My phone's keyboard seems to dislike certain words.

    Amazon must be watching me. I mention WWII here, and now Amazon wants me to watch "The Man In The High Castle".

    Don't feel bad, it's constantly trying to get me to watch it. I have it added to my queue, but haven't gotten around to actually watching any episodes.

    I try to sneak in some newer things between the older things I've been watching. Having kids running around limits my time to watch anything besides cartoons most of the time.

    My ex wanted me to wait to watch something till she could watch it with me. So I'd end up waiting all week to watch something, and she would fall asleep 10 minutes into it. I was usually watching a new series on my own by the 3rd episode haha

    Girlfriend and I are most of the way through the Marvel Extended Universe. She hadn't seen any of it so we started at the beginning together. We are just about at Dr Strange.
