Yea, they live in Florida and love them some Ron Desantis.
So from my limited sample of Cubans, I'm fine with some of them getting some important positions.

re: Video showing what it is like to be on the receiving end of Civil War artillery fire

I'm no military historian but I believe there was a long standing belief that giving up territory, any territory, was unspeakable. Allowing an army to advance unopposed across a field would be a non-starter. As long as you're willing to exchange the bodies for the territory, marching a big mass of people across the field generally worked.
They would flank with cavalry and things like that when it was an option to do it.
It's not as simple as it initially seems. If you don't engage them, they just keep going and keep claiming ground until you stop them. You lose ground, you lose resources, you eventually get bottled up on the high ground and maybe blockaded in and starved out.
It does just seem so silly to contemplate though. Marching across an open field into artillery fire till you got close enough for it to turn into artillery and rifle fire until it hopefully became rifle fire and bayonets because that meant you finally got close enough to maybe end it. frick that.

insane, the amount of nuts it took to march toward that, seeing your buddys head or leg explode and to keep going?
Imagining WWI gives me the willies much worse. Weapons with higher cyclic rates than we use today, pre-set to fire on an open field, where you have to cross to get to the other guy's trench...
It's utterly insane to me that armies advanced rank and file into gunfire at any point in history. Basically the same tactics the romans used, except with guns, and up into world war 1 machine guns and very effective artillery.
Europe is in the state it is today because of how many men it lost in WW1.

Just put the joists on top of the header and toe nail them in, that way the nails aren't doing anything except keeping the joist from falling off and all the weight is directly on the header.

This is a good way to describe this state. Most people like being from here - we have a unique culture and that is increasingly rare in this country.
The state Fn sucks though. The fishing is excellent and everything else is awful.

1986 aint coming back. Yea, I know you used to shoot a limit of mallards whenever you wanted to in the middle of the day because that's what you wanted for supper. Thanks, keep rubbing it in.
ETA: And if massive effort isn't applied, it'll continue to get worse. Keep this trend up and we're just a generation or two away from successful duck hunting being a rich man's game exclusively.

re: Cover for Concealed Carry?
Posted by DownshiftAndFloorIt on 1/4/26 at 7:58 pm to RetiredSaintsLsuFan
As long as you can wear a good belt and untucked shirt you'll be fine. Vedder light tuck behind the hip if you're fat or appendix carry if youre not fat. If you have to tuck your shirt in then you need to have somewhat loose fitting clothes but otherwise, again, no concern.
If you cant wear a good belt, its gonna be a problem no matter what. Working out for example, is damned difficult to carry while doing.
If you havent noticed yet, the belt is what makes or breaks it for both comfort and concealment.
Belt. Belt. Belt.

Nope, that's what the DPF and high pressure common rail fuel system does.
For on-highway vehicles selective catalytic reduction makes the most sense out of everything. You get drastic NOx reduction just for skeeting urea over a catalyst bed. No more shitload of EGR. No more horrible timing maps. No more dumb shite.
Like I said earlier, yall are hating on the wrong shite. DEF injection as a form of NOx reduction is excellent. Its all the other ceap that sucks
