So I have this friend..

That is thinking about moving to a new city with kids who does not want to move (4,7,9,11 yrs). Moving would only be based on that the parents think the grass is greener, and it probably is to some extent. The only reason not to make the move would be the uncertainty of how the kids would handle it. Contra: Pull the kids up from something secure and placing them in something uncertain. Further away from family (that does help with the kids today) Pro: Close to the ocean Less garden and house to take care of More time to just hang out (realistic or just imaginary?) Other Just assuming that the work situation will work out, as it probably would. Yes…

A curb came out of no where and I hit it. Please tell Mr. Jag not to be mad at me. My beautiful wheels of 15 years are now damaged because I cannot drive. We had a good run, wheels. Please, someone make curb sensors. That is all. Drowning my sorrows in a pumpkin spice latte and hoping I didn't mess up a tire. Because I don't know if anything is bent. Again, will you guys PLEASE tell Mr. Jag NOT to be mad at me. And for Mailbox, thanks Obama!

Rose got lucky today, me not so much

Rose was in our '02 GMC Yukon and hit the brake pedal only to have the brake line blow. Lucky for her she was still in the driveway. She was on her way into town but forgot something and went to stop halfway down the drive. Scared the shit out of her though. I on the other hand after looking to see what/where the problem is discovered all the brakelines are rusted pretty good so I get to replace them all. On top of that, my morning was spent figuring out a septic issue at the shop which required digging a ditch in some questionable smelling "mud".

So now I feel like I've either confused everyone or made more sense to the people who are getting to know me. Do a lot of people have different names on here than their PSN ID other than G? Most seem to have just a shortened version of their ID. I'm thinking I may have set a record for name change after joining.

no number on house!!!

No number, no package, very simple people. If you don't have a number don't expect the ups guy to know where you live to deliver your crap. People have houses worth 200k and cant spend $10.00 on numbers. God forbid your having a heart attack and someone calls 911. Are they suppose to ask your neighbor's if anyone is currently dying at your residence? Just a rant people... For those crew members that dont have numbers. Buy them and put them up!

I'm all up for donating to a cause and I donate 1000.00 every year to a charity or a good cause like the local library and little league. I would donate to fight MLS in a heartbeat! Im pretty sure I have done so already in the past and just dont remember. But wtf, this ice water challenge thing is just way out of hand by now. Victoria Beckham, Will Smith, Bill Gates, send water to Africa or send it to California so kids can play with their slip n slide during the drought! Total waste of water!

Game Swap
by JustHatched- 6 replies
- 1.2k views
I was thinking random shit about the PS4 and was wondering what to do with my PS3 games when the time comes. Figured most would go to the kids but even they do not play all theirs, so I figured trade in at Game Stop but they give chump change for games. It hit me that those interested could post up a list of games they would be willing to part with and perhaps we could swap games among the crew. Tricky part is getting them there as real names and addresses would be needed as well as shipping fees. I would be willing to pay to ship a game if someone was sending one to me as well, basically each sender pays the fee. If anyting it is a good idea, in practice maybe not.…

This Thursday I'm actually going away for a few days during one of my vacations. I was going to tell you all that you wont see me in the game. Then I realized I haven't been on much to begin with. My son getting his ps4 and selling his ps3, the other system is already heavily used by my two youngest boys. The only time I get to play is late at night, and unless I take an extra centrum silver. I usually ready to pass out at 10pm. (As Hatch said the last time I played late at night) "It's past tsarney's bed time" My kids use my account all day, and I have the messages turned off. So if it looks like I'm playing lego super heros and not returning your messag…

Talk about a find!
by JusTokenII- 5 replies

So I helped someone move out recently, and they gave me a little organizer that was used for small electronics. It still had hundreds of potentiometers and resistors in it. It also had a curious looking 64 pin integrated circuit with a large heatsink attached to it. I didn't think anything of it and put the organizer with the rest of my electronics goodies. Well today my curiosity got the best of me, so I went out and grabbed the IC with the heatsink on it and removed the heatsink to find a part number and manufacturer on the chip. TRW TDC1010J. 64 gold plated pins in a ceramic package. Did some research on it, turns out to be one of the chips used in original Doppler…

249Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Operation Mincemeat (2021) dir John Madden A WWII film focussing the efforts of British intelligence to trick Germany into thinking an upcoming major operation was going to happen somewhere else, so that they diverted defending forces away from the actual location. The basics are a true story. The characters are mainly the real people who were involved. It has a great ensemble cast. The main characters are two officers working for MI5, one from the navy and one from the air force, played by Colin Firth and Matthew McFadden, with Kelly MacDonald and Penelope Wilton playing their civilian assistants. It also features Johnny Flynn as the young Lt. Ian Fleming who narrates some scenes in a style that could well have been passages from his James Bond novels. You could, at a big stretch, almost class this as Bond film since it features characters referred to as M (head of MI5, Jason Issacs) and Q-branch (the gadget inventor, James Fleet). Simon Russel Beale also puts in a great performance as Winston Churchill. I have heard of Operation Mincemeat, knew the basics of it, that Ian Fleming was involved and what the outcome was. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the plan worked, as various characters in the film say that if it doesn't the allies won't win the war. The plan was to take the body of recently deceased man, a Welshman living rough in London called Glyndwr Michael, dress him in an officer's uniform, attach a brief case containing fake, but apparently top-secret documents, and then release it from a submarine such that it would wash up on a Spanish beach. Spain was neutral in WWII but under the regime of the Fascist, pro-n*zi, General Franco. So British intelligence knew that the contents of the brief case should find their way into the hands of German agents, before being returned to Britain, and thus the fake information would find it's way to Berlin. The operation they were planning for was the allied invasion of Italy, then Germany's ally. The fake information was one part of bigger plan to convince the Germans it was occupied Greece that was going to be invaded. The subsequent invasion of Italy is one of the lesser known parts of the war. Much is made, quite rightly, of the D-day landings, but that was not the first invasion of German controlled Europe, it was this invasion of Italy, nearly a year earlier. So it's nice to see a film about this aspect of the war, because there aren't very many of them. The film shows the meticulous level of detail the agents went to, creating a whole fake identity, Major William Martin, along with personal letters, a photo of a fiancé, etc. The plot does come across somewhat unbelievable at times and includes a completely unnecessary romantic sub-plot. Even if some of that is what actually happened, the way the films portrays this comes across as if the producers wanted to “s*x it up” and add these elements in because they thought the story of the planning and execution of the operation was not interesting enough. I was all set to give this a lower score than I did, but the last 30 mins or so redeemed it a little. What I found really interesting was, after the the plan had been put into action, the role British diplomats in Spain then had to play to make sure that the brief case of fake documents did indeed end up in German hands. Because after all the detailed and careful planning, it could have easily been undone by a Spanish official simply handing the brief case straight back to Britain, as was technically the correct thing for a neutral country to do, but not what they were supposed to do according to the pro-German Fascist regime in charge. There's almost none of the action you usually get in war films, until right at the end when we see an American infantry sergeant, a minor character introduced earlier, on board a landing craft, storming a Sicilian beach which was taken and held with relatively light causalities. All due to the success of Operation Mincemeat diverting German forces hundreds of miles away. 6 / 10- 2
