That's exactly what he described! That big curved blade!

He was very fond of those dudes. Vicious in battle but very disciplined and overall good guys.

There were a few OTHER groups he fought with who he was not a fan of. In Italy, he was issued a Thompson and given orders that if he came across any allied troops trying to rape, to just mow them all down.

War is fucked up.

My grandpa mentioned when he was on the front, they had to tie thier boots a very specific way.

He recalled one night, he could feel someone running thier fingers over his boot laces. I guess they were really good at sneaking around at night, and if they weren't sure if they'd found friends or foes, they would check the boots. If they were tied like Germans, they had some kinda throat slitting knife.

You probably didn't expect that comment to make me feel so old.

There are some places where they are not ethical.

There are some places where they are.

They're both actually saying the same thing. I don't understand how two people saying the same thing could possibly be invalidating each other.

I thought it required energy to process wood into charcoal?

Two local people shared different local experiences and I'm not sure why you think either is more valid than the other.

I had a hernia at risk of strangulation. I was in the ER and, basically, the plan was to chill it and have a doctor try and just jam it back in.

Buddy was like "I'm going to wail on you pretty hard, you want fentanyl?". I was like "You're the doctor".

Anyhow, when that shit hit my veins I very loudly blurted "AAHHH, NNOOWW I GET IT".

The staff was like "what?" And I kinda fumbled out a "Never understood why people fuck with something so deadly, until now"

Anyhow, totally opened my eyes to why street drugs are such a problem for the homeless. They have tons of problems... but you get those drugs and within moments... all your problems just evaporate. Completely understand how wildly alluring that proposition would be.

Your right to privacy ends where your actions that impact the public begins.

Allowing elected officials (allowing, not even MAKING) to sign NDAs with private companies provides cover to do shitty things and get influenced by lobbiests.

 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
