  1. Titanic tourist mini-sub missing

    Looks like the found debris. Likely means instant catastrophic implosion. At least family/friends will have some closure.
  2. Titanic tourist mini-sub missing

    So it's possible this will never be found in our lifetime.
  3. Titanic tourist mini-sub missing

    Is there any kind of ballast on that sub? :oops:
  4. Titanic tourist mini-sub missing

    Reported banging sounds? Let's hope there's a miracle!
  5. The battleship USS Texas gets repaired in a floating drydock in Galveston

    That's shipfitter work. That trade is what made the patches for those old battle wagons. It's highly skilled work as they have to make exact patterns of the geometrical shapes. Some of that starts out as wood, similar to your paper patterns. Nice work learning the MIG & fixing your car part...
  6. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    One of the criticisms by the Brits of US troops fighting in Africa in WWII, was that the US forces hadn't learned to hate the Germans. Of course, that got turned around. With the UAF/ZSU now going on the offensive, seems the Russians just gave fresh Ukrainian troops incentive (blowing up the...

    The Russians occupied the dam. Much easier to just place lots of TNT. They've had months to do this.
  8. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    A strategic move by Putin. They were worried the Ukrainians were going to cross the Dnipro in an attempt to invade the Crimea. Also, pretty certain the Russians were occupying the dam and not Ukraine. That took a lot of explosives, so it was not some quick strike SOF operation. This also...

    Things are heating up! Next 6 months are going to be interesting.
  10. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    Check this out....it's their PM standing up to extremism in Germany. Scholz is speaking direct truth about Putin's war. This is a dramatic turn around from Feb '22. Putin has made a lot of enemies in the past 16 months.
  11. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    The question is how much of this is this Russia trying to create a distraction?
  12. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    Ukrainian backed forces continue attacks inside Russia on border towns. This appears to be assymetrical warfare designed to stretch RU forces and force them to relocate away from the various front lines. And it is a huge embarrassment to putin who now can't even protect his own borders.
  13. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    The "special military operation" comes home to Russia's elite. Let them see what it's like to hear air raid sirens and experience fear. I hope this continues.

  15. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    A lot has changed in Germany in the past 15 months. They have now become one of the largest contributors of support to Ukraine, after initially dragging their feet. They are the ones who supplied the Patriot missile units. Russia has had a lot of influence on Germany and there is a lot of...
  16. Hiking deaths...kind of a vent thread. :(

    The hot sun in the desert is a different animal, especially if your head is getting the desert sun.
  17. Hiking deaths...kind of a vent thread. :(

    That's a fun tram ride. Crazy to be 65 & windy & it be 95+ over in SLC. Yea, you have to know how much water to bring.
  18. Hiking deaths...kind of a vent thread. :(

    The wind helps. I can ride when it's 90 & breezy....with a wife beater & shorts, it's comfortable with low humitidy.
  19. What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

    You can bet there are plenty of foreign nationals who think the US is full of corruption. The sword cuts both ways. :oops: One of the griefs of war is that it is full of imperfection decisions that leaders have to make. The lesser of 2 evils will never be a good decision for anyone to make...
  20. Hiking deaths...kind of a vent thread. :(

    Ok, so I live in the Phoenix area and do lots of hiking. The heat is a major issue once the weather gets hot. In the winter, temps are not an issue unless you're hiking in higher elevations (possible cold). Every year, people die hiking due to heat. The Grand Canyon as well. Just this...
