'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
On the upside, I now know the difference between casting and forging!
Also, the industry-recommended amount of closet space for a man and for a woman, the three classes of bridges and two types of architectural structures, and that the same guy founded both Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's!
Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's!
I met his mom on a plane once. She was very proud.
Thanks for the info, Susan! My sister looks at me weird when I confess to watching "The History of the Gun" show on the Military Channel/History International, but info like that is why I find the evolution of weapons just fascinating. The way that technology is tied into tactics is something that is never discussed in history classes at the K-12 level, and probably should be. Otherwise, you end up thinking (like I did) that the British line, the Civil War bayonet charge, and the trench warfare of WWI were just stupid, but viewed in combination with what they had on hand, they either make sense or explain why the death rates were so high.

I recently read The Guns of August. Fascinating book. I learned the French were unable to stop the German advance until they adopted trenches for defense.

You mean the latter isn't officially the work of the Devil?
In goat news...
Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
And yes, the 757 is now flying
Yeah, I saw that before.
I keep picturing Mal kicking the goats into the 757's engines....

And ita would be on the other side of the engine, waiting for pre-cut goat that she could curry.
Do you freeze up in front of them and NOT LET ME OUT? Because if you do, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get revenge for that earworm because I'll have to kill you.
Since I didn't freeze up at the Giant Revolving Door of Death at the Hyatt, then I think I've justified my continued survival. Really, though, I think that door was trying to do us a favor by keeping us out.
Since it's a drafting class, I'd just go with, 'if you're going to draft it, you'd better understand it." And also, being able to see how these processes/machines/diagrams are drafted gives you great examples of How to Draft.
