Greetings and Salutations!
<Le Sigh>
It’s all so tiresome
Now the mole I’ve heard isn’t on old boy’s noggin anymore… it’s not visible in that pic. Hard call to a point…
However
The fake and gheyness of this timeline sucks.
And then Silver and Gold dropping precipitously
Which is why I’m just staying ‘locked in’ cos I’m sure the volatility will remain. The market got hammered across the board, with only one of my stonks making any headway.
That was a mining stonk BTW
Everything else got hammered. I’m down about $30+/-
Not a biggie.
There’s also a lot of talk out there saying that 48-72 hours Iran is going to get nuked by the Izzies. I got nothing on that, but I just thought I’d mention it. FAR too many mentions IMO which generally means the “Hivemind” knows something… Personally I’m ambivalent. As long as McDill doesn’t take a live round I’m a happy MF’er. And IF something like that should happen? Well HOPEFULLY they’re a wee off target and drops closer to me than away. I’m in the ‘not immediately smoked’ circle if say the Ivans or Joe Chink drop a BIG ONE on SOCOM/CENTCOM. Rather it hit RTF on top of meself and go out in a flash.
Strange Times/Strange Days.
DeadDad used to joke about it back in the 80s. In Hampton we were well within the “GIANT SMOKING CRATER ZONES” of both Pease Air Force base, and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Said that Ivan’s missile tech (back then) was so bad we might see a SS-21 land in the backyard right before it goes Kaboom!
I still laugh at the imagery
Speaking of which
WiscoDave sent this to our email group this AM.
Sapper and I lost our shit.
Like howling w/laughter.
My God… my sides till hurt and I’m giggling at the image of just a pair of legs left of sumdood who the rest of is a fine, pink mist ALLLLL over the room in which he was standing.
And it appears to be a real thing link HERE
Sweet Jeebus… a suppressed 8 Gauge Shotty
That right there is some Mad Max Levels of Retarded Firepower.
Last time I saw something like that was a fren in High School who had his great-grandads “Flock Gun”also called a “Punt Gun”:
Something stupid like a 4 gauge? boat mounted artillery piece…
They used to use them to take out like up to 50+ birds at once, hence the “Flock Gun” name. Some measurements say that it could fire up to one POUND of shot. To make the comparison, a standard shotty birdshot round usually uses about 1.5oz of shot.
My fren blew the front end off the ancient rowboat he had his mount to when he “max elevated” it and fired it… the wood just shattered all to bits and the boat sunk in the marsh.
We recovered the cannon but man that was some nasty dirty muddy work… the boat? Not so much… I think it’s still in the marsh if it hasn’t rotted completely away…
So lots of weirdness out there
And it’s getting fucking cold here again man…
WTF Over?
And breathing when I’m walking the doggos?
Hurts like Hell man.
I got an appointment w/the toofus doc… going to get the evaluation THEN decide on a course of action. I might be taking some of y’all up on offers to get me into Mex-hee-co if that’s the best route financially.
I can catch a Frontiers overnight layover for about $250, with the hotel at the airport being $90. Like I said, I have to see what I’m dealing with. If a yank and pull is cheapest, then fuck it… already got like 3 chompers pulled… maybe get something down the road in Mexico? We’ll see.
So More Later
Big Country
The banksters need silver below $80 by March in order to cover and close their short contracts. Otherwise they will go under. Hopefully we can ruin it for them.
If the cold air is making your teeth hurt on dogwalks then cover your mouth with a paper mask or a baklava or something.
For teeth pain, my dentist recommended taking 3 Tylenol and 3 Advil together.
After my molar was pulled (which even with local anesthesia hurt like a Mofo), I gave that a shot and it helped ALOT.
Have the dentist give you an assessment and then a quote. Pulling them should NOT be more than $400/tooth. If you need some shekels then let us know and many of us will help out.
Tooth pain like that is the 3rd worst pain that I’ve ever felt. Second was passing a kidney stone and first was shattering my lower leg ala Joe Thiesman playing football.
long time lurker here, clove oil is your friend. dip a q-tip in some clove oil and rub it on the tooth and the gum. do that twice a day and within a day or two the pain and infection is gone. when there is no dentist (shtf) everyone should have clove oil as a prep. at your age, just get em pulled out (unless its those pretty ones in the front). im down to 16 teeth left and i get along just fine 🙂
Clove oil works well. Numb that fucker right up. Any drugstore should carry it.
Punt guns indeed. Looks like you got that photo from the same Wiki article I’m reading. I recall reading about hunting in the California Central Valley flyway. They would silently glide in their punt (boat) within range of a flock of birds sitting on the water. They would fire a pistol shot to spook the birds off the water, and immediately fire the punt gun. I think the record kill for a single shot was 500+ birds.
University dental schools sometimes run clinics at reduced or zero cost, if there is one in your area. Otherwise, a contingency plan for the Mexico option might be worth thinking about. I stared at the two pics for a while. Soldier has a gap between front teeth that does not appear on the other guy. Also ears some look…a little…different. Not the best photos to compare for those features. I’d probably put some reliance on Grok, but in my interactions, I have noted some errors in its conclusions. Read that Turkey rolled up some ostensibly Iranian guys surveilling the Incirlik airbase. We keep some “stuff” there. MacDill would be hard, IMO. It’s 10 degrees F where I am, but I sympathize…
