One of my favorite parts of this is in the body camera footage of her being arrested (which is definitely worth a watch) she not only is resisting arrest, kicks one of the arresting officers, is ordering the cops around as if she is still in charge, and finally when she is being put in the back of a squad car says to the officer through tears:

“You’re assisting Merrick Garland” sniffle

Even while being arrested she’s peddling her conspiracy bullshit

I found a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. That’s the one featured in an excellent video from Technology Connections. I can afford the $6 for toast that’s “Automatic Beyond Belief!”

Who are you and how did you get in here?

It’s been on my to do list but getting to the county tax records has been a schlep

I think they’re like pilot’s wings but are what the guys who operated the defensive machine guns in a b-17 or b-29 were issued

I have an actual answer. I bought a metal detector and naturally I set to work in the backyard to see if I could find anything cool. Well I don’t know if you think rusty nails and bottle caps are cool but I sure found a lot of those. I did find a lot of good time to practice though.

Fast forward a few months, I had branched out to local parks and such and hadn’t revisited the backyard. We were having some landscaping done which included digging up some tree stumps. For a lark I ran the detector over one of the holes a stump had come out of and I got a hit. Not just a hit but a hit that registered the same as a pre-1964 quarter. Silver.

After a little digging I pulled up a pair of vintage ww2 aerial gunnery wings! (Note: these aren’t the ones I found but they are very similar)

Not sure how I had missed them or what they were doing there but best I can figure is that since the house dated to the late 1950’s some kid grabbed his dads wings from the war and managed to lose them in the backyard and was never able to find them. Sad for dad but cool for me I guess

Right now I’m a fish person due to a lack of space, free time, and energy. Have had both cats and dogs and have loved them to pieces but I’m happy to play puppy and kitty uncle for a while

Calling me a metalworker would be an insult to real metalworkers everywhere. That said, depending on the size of the piece of steel, it’s probably not worth your time to fill in then grind flat when local big box hardware stores sell common sizes of “welding steel” for relatively cheap and as the other poster wrote, McMaster-Carr has just about any size piece of angle you can think of.

I mostly read ebooks but I do buy physical copies of books I want to have on the shelf in the weird hope that maybe my kids or niblings might stumble upon in the future and spark an interest. Luckily I have a really good used bookstore near me that I can buy them for fairly cheaply so I consider it a cheap long term investment that will hopefully pay dividends

I just want more live action Boimler and Mariner
