That would be the larger of the concussive waves shown above?

I greatly agree. Too many egos have to strut like banty roosters proving their potency.
Just up for the day. Past noon and I don’t see any indication of a Wikileaks dump. He’s always been very truthful. Maybe it will happen later. Hope and pray so. Saw a thread on one site about some anons or black hats or someone taking his servers down and ‘securing’ them. I suspect he has backups upon backups upon backups. Time will tell.
PTL & PASS THE AMMO . . . AND THE MEMES . . . AND THE RIDES TO THE POLLS . . . Broader early voting starts here tomorrow. Was aghast at a church group Thursday night at how UTTERLY IGNORANT about realities currently the whole rest of the group was. And how dismissive they were equally to all sides. Am planning a major education effort—could be tricky, though. Sigh.
Would work for me with some boundaries on such. Don’t want to become as bad as them!
FWIW - firing a full broadside does NOT move the ship sideways as is commonly thought. The mass of the ship and the surface are of the sides are too great for that. The ships have a gross tonnage of 54,890 tonnes (long tons). The broadside is only about 18 tonnes.

I imagine the p does rock on it’s long axis, tho.
Kinda like the time I was duck hunting and shot while leaning on the back gunwhale. Kept my shotgun dry, tho.
So Bagster, does that mean that if I invited you to a concert that I really really really want to go to...
And I'd help with getting you to the cold cold prairie...
And I don't think I should go alone...
And it would be strictly platonic....
Cos you really make me laugh and you're smart...
And it's a really really great group, I know you'd love it...
Oh, and of course I'd pay for your hotel, really...
Would you really really consider it?
p?
ship...howdat hoppen?
The youngest chess grandmaster yet was 12 years 7 months so he’s still got a little time left to break the record.
I dunno, the one with Elizabeth Warren in a chief’s headdress that says “IT’S OK TO BE WHITE” was the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.
Great pic!
I had forgotten about Ward Churchill, no longer a professor.
Do you fly it in or does it do that all by itself?
Dunno. Seems like a tool to try and post just to a group. Like a ping list. If you view replys it’s a separate list of posts.
Memes ok?
As you approach the bow, the vertical motion can be in excess of 45 feet. Imagine trying to walk while yo-yoing four stories every 90 seconds in addition to any roll.
The higher you are on the ship the greater the perceived effect of roll. At the height of the Fire control director that can be a lateral motion of 80-90 feet per roll.

I should have PM’d you. But PM whacks HTML.
What was being attempted to be posted was your facebook page.
You had to go to the actual picture (double click the picture shown on the facebook page), then use the url address for that.
Great photo, BTW
