Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! https://bigcountryexpat.substack.com/p/a-minor-change-on-the-subject?sd=pf The New Substack is up. It’s still ‘open to all’ but I’ma thinking about making some ‘subscription only’ to raise the shekels. What say you? Let Me Know
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! So, took a bit of time off as I’ve been reeeee-laxing. Spending time at the neighbor’s pool, (even tho they moved on Friday) But until -I- get word we can’t go, me Gretchen and Sapper have been chillin’ and unwinding over there daily for the long weekend.
The substack this week is going to be a relatively in-depth (pardon the pun) on Landmines. Figured since they came into play so damned much in stopping butt-cold the Krainian Klownshow Kounteroffensive…
…and because of the potential for upcoming ‘Spicy Times’ I’m going over only US Based systems like the above pictured “Volcano” AT/AP mine dispersion system.
So that’s where we’re at.
Only interesting thing that’s come about is that the Muj-Monkeys in Gay Paree got ahold of some fucking Accuracy International sniper rifles…
FFS Is it just me or does it not appear that the Biden Anustration keeps arming alllllll sorts of miscreants with some really niiiiice taxpayer funded fucking goodies?
First it was the Come Mister Taliban, Tally Me Banana Clip getting heeled up with, well every fucking thing in the US Arsenal. THEN it was the south of the Border Burrito Goblins running around with AT-4, Javs and -other- anti-armor weapons.
NOW? The Muj-Monkeys on the East Bank are running around with Accuracy International $4000 ARW sniper rigs in .338 Lapua Magnum bought and paid for by our tax fucking dollars.
What
The
FUCK???
Tell you the fuck what, next year? At tax season (if we even have one) we-the-fucking-peepo should be able to make this request i.e.: I’m requesting my refund be either paid in DotMil Hardware, or if it’s not that much, then in fucking ammo.
Seems only fair Aye? So, watch for the Substack, and as a warning, I might make it a ‘paid-for’ as I could use the Shekels.
Greetings Me Droogs n Droogettes! Looks like Paris is completely fucked. Microdick Maricon and his 30 something plus older-than-him handler…er “wife” haven’t called out the DotMil in any way shape or form.
Seems a nogger of some Muslim affiliation was stopped while driving and did the usual ‘resisting arrest’ and got himself capped for it.
Game on!
So… from what I’m seeing and hearing on various other channels is that it’s spreading. Namely to Brussels:
Now, far from it to be said, well, fuck it, times like this is when you don’t bother with ‘arrests’. You declare martial law, declare a curfew. Tell ’em they got til 18:00 to get the fuck off the streets or else. Then, deploy the Infantry, and belt feds. You gun down –everyone– on the street after 18:00.
The next day, during ‘carcass identification’ any and all family members of a rioter who’s stiff was found in the street, forfeits any and all property, bank accounts, and gets deported back to whatever third world shithole they come from after mandatory sterilization. Every. member. of. the. family. No exceptions.
Trust me… that’ll square shit away beaucoup quick.
They’d learn to be polite nigras or they get kil’t and the fam sterilized, impoverished and send back to wherever they come from.
My extreme reaction to this is they’re destroying a lot of utterly irreplaceable white cultural artifacts. The library in Marseilles has been burned, with some of the rarest-of-the-rare medieval manuscripts, now lost forever because the importation of a bunch of sub-50 IQ’d fucking niggers who can’t stop eating one another, who have no worth in any meaningful way, and are, by and large a disease inflicted on Europe by folks who, from what I can tell are a parasitical group they damned selves.
Of course said group is allllllll up in arms about one of their monuments being defaced:
No mention of the precious cultural heritage that’s been destroyed… nope… all must bow and scrape before the holohoax memorial.
Sheesh.
So… coming to a town near the American Southwest? ‘Cept those folks will rather institute La Raza and Aztec Chest Carving as seen by some of the more severe practitioners and members of MS-13… hard to say, but between the rumbling about the Nuke Plant that the Russians are supposedly pulling out of?
Word is July 5th is “Meltdown Day”
Everyone is soooooooooo sure that the Russians are going to take out the nuke plant… problem is why would they? It’ll only pollute their own fucking turf. It’d make no sense and no, I do NOT want to hear how Putin is losing the war… save that shit for someone NOT wired into the intel services. Right now it’s about a stalemate, primarily because Russia doesn’t want to go much further. Their entire mission was to eradicate the Krainian Military, and I’d call that about 80% done, 100% if you mean the DotMil they started with in Feb of 2022… that one’s been toast 3 times over now.
They’re down to kidnapping folks off the street, and the ‘elites’ in Keee-ev are now getting draft callups, where as before it was to ‘peasant class’ farm workers… and they’re damned near out of them…
Russia wants to get the remaining 25% of the Crimean/Dombass A.O.s that they had to stop going after last summer… once they can do that, create a ‘cordon sanitaire’ and reset the borders, THEN it’ll be almost over.
Of course the little Jew Klown Kocaine addict is thinking getting some 40 year old air frames are going to make a difference.
Part of the ‘rest of the worlds’ belief in the overwhelming air superiority of the F-16 is that the Israelis used then to great effect against the Jordanians, the Egyptians and the Iraqis that have gone up against it, in Russian airframes. Problem is, that it’s the pilots who were dogshit…
This’s also been proven with that one Krainian Kat… who the fuck was it? Some Ukrainian “Top Gun” pilot who went to Mississippi and got into the U.S. military’s Aviation Leadership Program.
The program is for the best-of-the-best foreign pilots, and get instruction on the US way of doing things.
Fat lot of good it did this dude. He got his ass waxed on his first mission home.
Thing is, without the proper training there ain’t no way in fuck is the equipment worth a shit.
In the case of this ‘vaulted counter offensive’ a.k.a. ‘the Krainian Wet Fart’ they literally did a combined arms offensive utilizing combined arms that wasn’t fucking combined. NO Artillery prep. NO immediate call-for-fires. NO CAS (Close Air Support, like helo gunships). Hell, from what I heard NO Air support, period fucking DOT. NO Engineering support. NO Air Defense Artillery to stop those KA-52s, which, from the sound of it, are some serious bad jujuj whirlybirds.
Add on the RUMINT that in all the pre-buildup simulations, that NATO set the game to ‘easy’ and maaaaan talk about a crusterfluck.
So, here on the sidelines, poppin’ some corn, and waiting for the fun to really kick off. More Later Big Country
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! So, Sapper’s boy and gran made it out of here today. Amazingly so as the airports nationally seem to be seriously jacked up with hundreds of flights cancelled and whatnot. Hopefully we get the call around ten tonight that they landed safely.
Seems the traffic in addition to the weather (good ole Florida summer downpour as we type) was completely made up of morons and rage inducing shmucks from the North East.
Faaaaar too many New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut…all the usual suspects and hell I’ve even been seeing on the rare occasion I leave the house, Ontario of all places.
So I’m -again- wiped out. Been sleeping a lot lately. Getting caught up on a lot of lost ZZZs from the stress of moving back here, losing the battle (but not the war) for the Gran#2 and just general stress overall. Shit’ll kill ya dead if yer not careful.
On the front lines, seems that the ‘strike’ on the ‘hotel’ or should I say barracks? in the Krain? that happened over the weekend? Seems someone there was spotted sporting what appears to be a 3rd Batt Ranger Emblem on their forarm:
The guy with the tat were rendering first aid to someone who apparently got fucked up in the missile strike. Lots of the vidyas from there that were filmed had the majority of voices being in English or, as some of the more astute listeners said, South African or Aussie accents… either way sounds like whatever it was that got hit was the right place (as far as Ivan was concerned) to hit if it was in fact chockablock full of Mercs and/or troops.
Which then brings me to the news that Germany has decided to deploy to Lithuania 4000 troops. Now, considering the size, condition and overall shitty level that the Krauts have kept their armed forces in, I’m not overly worried. What I -do- worry about is that at some point someone, somewhere, at some time is going to be on either the wrong side of the border and someone gets shot or some false flag happens… too many people mixed into too small an area with too many diverse commands and controllers to keep track… Lithuania is about the size of what? Rhode Island and now is hosting a shit-ton of Polish DotMil, their own minor DotMil, the French, the US and now the Krauts?
You know, for diversities sake, they should insist on a bunch of Pakistani and Congolese troops from the UN, just for funnsies. Hell, how about some Samoan troops? I actually saw the Samoan Marines doing their pre-combat/deployment Ha’kaa in the parking lot back in Kuwait in 2007… scary bunch of Giant Brown Bruddas der Mon. BIG fuckers… made the M-4 look like pop-guns.
But yeah, too many DotMils on a postage stamp, clustered in and around will eventually lead to communications fuck ups. Never mind who’s in charge of what aspect of what mission(s). In fact, why in the ever living 5th Ring of Hell are we doing in Lithuania? In fact, at this point, it’s all so tiresome ‘cos THEY know its a bullshit for-profit grift (for them), We know its a bullshit for-profit grift (for them) and the Media know its a bullshit for-profit grift (for them).
The more the same and since there IS no voating our way out of it, and we seem to be in an almost pre-world war one Massive Armament and DotMil buildup, all we can do is brace for the inevitable impact.
Hell, they took the ball-gag out of old Gaggy Joe I saw… let me tell you, ain’t no CPAP machine that has a mask that makes lines like that on a dude’s face… someone left the gimp-mask on him riiiight up until they had to let him off his leash to perform, and even then, he fucked it up.
OrangeManBad tripped on the stairs once and the media was ready to trash his ass using the 25th Amendment, and now we have a drooling fucking pope-meeting pant-shitter child molester who doesn’t know shit from his brains, and “Everything is cool!”
No wonder we’re circling the drain. More later Big Country
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Admin note first: Seems the Fireteam list had dropped a few folks including Aesop. Now, I unnastand he’s a favorite punching bag around here, but hey, deep down, dude is cool w/me… actually donated $300 bones to the Save Addy fund back when we first started out and somewhere in that blackened lump of what used to be a Marine Heart, he even broadcast the fundraiser for a while. Looking over settings (and I’m still learning this damned dashboard) the amount of folks I could put in the Widget was like 10? or 12? All the others got waxed at one point or I did something stupid (more than likely).
So, today’s question: How the Hell do we get off this track we’re stuck in? I know the way the current illegitimate regime is leaning:
Treason is a big fucking deal. And from any and all reports,
…even the small amount of shit that’s come out, even to a fucking Normie, it’s “treason most foul”. I mean what do you call it when you take millions, if not billions in payment for doing ‘dirty deeds’ in favor of your enemies and furthering their countries agenda?
Sure, the act of treason is shown as “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
I dunno about you, but taking in millions of dollars from the ChiCom Joe Chinks is giving ‘aid and comfort’ to a ‘hostile foreign power’ in my opinion. Never mind the whole Krainian Klown show.
And the thing of it is, is the “Kompramat” At this point our Pretender to the Glorious and Harmonious P&PBUH (Plus 10%) Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den is completely and utterly compromised
I mean FFS that Krainian guy who paid off the Biden Klan thru Hunter-the-Bagman? he recorded all his interactions just as a good criminal should and would. He then spilled the beans and even gave the recordings to folks in the FBI… which in itself is nothing more than a fucking true Praetorian Guard, right out of Roman Times… fucking regime protection at it’s finest. They’ve known about this since the get-go.
ALL of them lack any sort of legitimacy at this point NOT ONE Branch of the FedGov, hell even the DotMil is to be not to be nor respected. Root and Branch baby, that’s the only way this’s going to get back on track. Problem is that the FedGov itself has become the single largest ‘welfare employment scheme’ in history. Read somewhere that fully 22% of our population, in one form or another, works for the DotGov.
Be it the illiterate Shaniqua or Deon’quaillivious at the DMV or Hubert Throckmartin Suckadick the Third working in the State Department, almost everyone is part of the system. And because of it, it’s never going to willingly reform, never mind go away
And the FBI, just like in Hoovers day, has the dirt on everyone.
Which brings us to the Krain. That little loudmouthed homosexual Kocaine Addicted “Komedian” we installed? Fucking Krainfeld? Any bets he’s got alllllllll the dirt on the Biden Crime Enterprise? I’m fucking sure of it, hence why we keep lurching like some retarded Frankenstein Monster, folding like a fucking lawn chair and giving him billions and billions of our tax dollars.
Telling you right now, like yesterday, this’s all bullshit, and the worst part is that literally we can see that ALL the major players in here belong to a certain tribe. Every. Single. Time.
And yet -I- get called an anti-Semite for noticing that all the major players here are Jewish. I mean Heaven forfend that I notice things. That ALL the shot-callers and string pullers are part of a tribe that for whatever reason always seem to be in the middle of whatever international shitstorm is going on.
Nuland Kagan Blinken Krainfeld hell, it’s even come out that Prigohzin is part of the tribe as well
But that’s just on the surface. Maybe I’m wrong, but it does get one to wondering. Like I said, I practically get crucified for asking “why does it always seem like a certain group tends to be over-represented in these sort of dustups?” Meh.
Thing that has me genuinely worried is that they’re going to have to do –something- radical in the next few. The ‘burnout’ factor is hitting hard. Despite the proclamations of the Regime Mouthpiece, the retarded lezbo-muppet Karine Jean-Pierre that “Americans feel better about their personal finances, that is important. When you think about wages are going up, when you think about the really good paying, millions of good-paying jobs, union jobs that his policies are going to create, all the things are really incredibly important.” I want to know what that fucktard is smoking, or, even better, the morons who sent that mouth-breather out there to say such stupidity.
She, of course got absolutely torched for such dumbassery.
So… fact of the matter is, despite the blatant coverups by the Ministries of Lies and Propaganda, we know that the current illegitimate Regime in Office right now is guilt of allllll sorts of grift, criminality, if not outright treason for profit. We also know things aren’t “getting better” nor “improving” and that even Joe Sixpack is getting weary. The Krainian Konflict is looking more and more shady by the day, and that there appears to be no off ramp, leastways not with the current Cabal of Criminals in charge.
Considering just how things seem to be coming to a point, in that it’s obvious that the Krain is finished on the battlefield, the question remains as to “what’s next”?
My own thought is that –something– “wicked this way comes” Vlad is on a precipice himself. IF Priggy’s move was not a maskirovka to move his troops into a better position, well, Putin letting him ‘off the hook’ shows some weakness. Doesn’t help he’s painted into a corner right now. Lots of people on ALL sides are getting tired of that diminutive little Krainian fag and his tacticool look, going around and berating everyone worldwide. I mean who the fuck does he think he is?
I mean seriously The only reason we’re in the Krain right now is to protect the Biden Crime Syndicate. Outside of the military industrial complex making MAD profit, “We The People” get nothing out of assisting the most corrupt Despotic Regime in Eurotrashland to “defend itself”
The -only- plus I can say we have is we haven’t (yet) committed boots on the ground.
LET Europe Burn. LET the Krain Burn Hell… Europe is filled with nothing but North Apefricans and Muj at this point. Let THEM defend against the supposed “Massive Russian-Orc Onslaught” with spears and shit.
And yeah, do you like those two graphics?? I made ’em. The lil logo for the NAACP took a long time to do as it was from a graphic of I think some soap from the 30s… Burrhead soap or some such… seemed appropo to me… Feel free to re-utilize them as wanted/needed. You can add/subtract the rating in paint by either blacking out or cloning/pasting over. Anyways
Do I think that the Biden Crime Syndicate would burn the world down, rather than allow themselves to be exposed?
You’re absolutely G*ddamned right they would. To them, it’s their world/oyster/ball And if they can’t have it no one else will And that’s the most terrifying aspect of it all. ONE False Flag ONE False Move Or worse even, ONE MORE exposed dirty lil secret, and maaaaan It’ll come a day that the name “Biden” will become an obscenity which will be uttered as a curse, throughout future history Once ‘they’ decide it’s time to “Burn it all down” WE have no say in it, what with our self appointed Executioners safe in their bunkers, deep underground, who in turn have a belief that after it’s over, that they’ll come out, and ‘take charge again’. Got a hunch it’ll NOT play out the way they think it will More Later Big Country
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Monday and the ‘usual’ around here, ‘cept the house is trashed LOL. A 4 year old and 5 year old can cause a LOT of messes/chaos/insanity. To the point yesterday? I was at the keyboard all ready to do a BCE poast as I had already done the substack, and I passed the hell out.
Like literally Sawing logs in my chair. I was wiped out, and that as they say was that. No alcohol either as the VA has me on a new med that I can’t take with any booze at all so I’m on the wagon whether I like it or not. Not too big a deal but hey, I figure the $$$ savings will do me good.
Now, for all the bluster all around, Aesop went off on a rampage about how Putin is done (in simplest terms). Truthfully I don’t care to a point. He’s taken me off his bloggroll for whatever reason but hey, his house, his rules. My house? I keep a bunch of folks up there who don’t reciprocate. Basic politeness and all that. My issue with wanting to keep Putin where he is right now has a LOT to do with why I want to see Slo-Joe stay in place.
The alternatives are far far worse IMO.
Here, we got The Whore of Califrutopia, Kameltoe. Giggling, vacuous, stupid, inept, and bumbling, and these are her good points. No way in fuck do I want to see her running the show, not that Slo is… I think we have more of a Edith Wilsononian thing going on here with the Babysitter Jill trying to run the show with the various factions behind the scenes doing their own thing, regardless of what the law and constitution say, hence why Hunter is getting off scot-fucking-free.
On the other side of the Atlantic? The possible front runners are listed below:
We got the current Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman and former Premier/former President Dmitry Medvedev.
This guy? Hardliner for Mother Russia. This guy has been making some seriously over-the-top threats against everyone who’s been behind the Korruptokrat Krainian Kockaine Klown Kar show… as in “Nuke ’em all, for God will know his own.”
The other guys seem to be Putin “Yes-Men” but that doesn’t mean they’d follow the same script. Thing of it is, the real word slipping out of Russia is “Why haven’t we crushed these fucking pissants yet?” One of them is the former head of the FSB (the new KGB, same as the old KGB or FBI) is Nikolai Patrushev.
This guy again, is a mad-dog hardline (by OUR standards) however, he’s two years older than Putin (71), and a lot of observers think he’d be ‘transitional’ because waiting in the wings…
…is his son Nikolai Patrushev
44 years old, former FBS agent, got his tickets punched in all the ‘right places’ so to speak, and is currently the agriculture minister, appointed in 2018. He also ran the state-owned Russian Agriculture Bank. If anything, he’s a bit of a wild card, but is a ‘princeling’ so to speak, coming up in Dad’s footsteps, and if it’s like Father, Like Son, then yeah, NOT someone I want in charge.
Besides all the foaming at the mouth that “Putin wants to take control of Europe” and “He wants to re-establish the old Soviet Union!!!” and whatnot? Bunch of bullshit. Vlad had a good thing going on (up until this whole shitshow). He was at the top of his game, master of all he surveyed. Richer than any of us could even try to imagine, wielding mad-power if he wanted, the only thing he wants is for OUR fucktards to leave him and his fucking country alone.
BUT ‘the same old suspects’ (every. single. time.) couldn’t wouldn’t and haven’t left the fuck alone. Problem is, they seem to think they can control the whole scenario, without the innate understanding that this time? This ain’t a third world bought-and-paid for dictator. This’s a nuclear armed country they keep harassing and man, it will not end well for these sub-basement double digit midget IQ ‘elites’ and their cheerleaders WHEN, not IF they decide “enough is enough” and then?
Well, at least I got to bake a cake with my Gran. More Later Big Country
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! So Putin’s pet-attack dog Prihgozin is in ‘open mutiny’ against the MOD. Truthfully I have no idea on how this plays out… as the meme I made this a.m. and threw up on Gab said:
No shit Aye? The only concern I really have is that in almost every single dystopian Apocalypsefestivus novel I’ve ever read… like almost every instance, the discussion of pre-war conditions mentions “Russian Civil War” as one of the causes of the inevitable Nookular War.
Me? My take?
Me and Big K made a cake. She did all the pouring in of the ingredients. Then I ‘helped’ her with the mixing (so’s it didn’t go alllll over the kitchen)
Frosting it’ll come later.
So hope everyone else is having a mellow Saturday I’m not letting the world interfere with some good times More Later Big Country
Looks like this weekend is going to be a “Bug Hunt…”
“Big K” found the Weyland-Yutani M41A Pulse Rifle (with under-barrel 30mm grenade launcher) on my Rifle Rack so I guess I have to teach her proper weapons handling…
<Le Sigh>
They grow up so fast these days. Seriously though, she’s here for the weekend and man, her first Nerf Gun. Of course that’s the one I got after raffling off the first… Nerf is -still- selling them, and man, sometimes you just have to go full retard. As you can see I did a full on paint job, to include wear marks.
I didn’t go all the way and dremel off the name(s) or Makers Marks, but it’s sort of inconsequential. It still looks cool AF IMO. Who doesn’t want an ‘Aliens’ Blaster? Hell I found out there’s a company that makes and even better version of it… you’ll pay out the 4th point of contact for it, but it’s a mostly metal mock up Airsoft… with the basis of it being a M1A1 Thompson submachine gun with a bunch of ‘bling’ thrown on it.
Adam Savage from “Mythbusters” did a really good show on reviewing it… the Nerf One that is.
So Gran#1 has been running around now, ambushing Gigi and the Cat… Bob is not amused, and I have to keep the dog from trying to chew on the darts…
Now as to the latest newsie-news. It’s becopme apparent that the whole “Lets ‘bury the lede’ on the latest Biden Crime Family story being released by inflating and hyping that sub thingy over the Titanic to the moon!”
Sure worked well I have to say… The DotNav knew that thing had imploded as soon as it happened, and told the rescue boats and well, from what was initially reported, well everyone that the thing (Das Boot that is) had blown in… In fact got a hunch the whole “…8-10 hours’ before a full rescue was attempted…” was to have “The Big Guy” or more’n likely his handlers and bureaucratic Praetorians call up whomever was running the show out there and gave them their marching orders: “…make it look good, and drag that shit out, and we’ll give you whatever cover you need later.”
These days I have no doubt that something like that happened. So if the poasting is lite Y’all know what’s up Got a Nookular Redhead Girl I’ma going to be chasing after More Later Big Country
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Whelp, over on Gab, couple of folks were pulling for the crew of the “Uboat Imploded” and were going off on how “… the banging noises were indicative that we need to rescue them!”
To which my reply was “That’s more’n likely the pieces-parts settling on the hull of the Titanic”
Guess we know who called that one Aye? Seriously though, God Rest ’em. And may the families of the “crew” sue the everloving fuck out of what’s left of the Company. Seems OceanGate, well this’s an Extract From the Daily Mail:
“…Legal filings state: ‘Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to the experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (‘PVHO’) standards. (bold and HUUUGE letters mine):
‘OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.
‘The paying passengers would not be aware, and would not be informed, of this experimental design, the lack of non-destructive testing of the hull, or that hazardous flammable materials were being used within the submersible.”
Wow So, since any and all waivers signed by the dead folks are now pretty much trash, as it seems that OceanGate knew their shit was faulty, so IMO (I ain’t a lawyer) but any waiver signed under that constitutes fraud and would thereby null and void that shit.
Legit… the CEO didn’t want to pay the extra shekels to make sure the sub was up to code so to speak. I -am so NOT- going there. Tell you what tho, When OceanGate said they offer the full titanic experience, they really weren’t kidding.
Anywhat… I got a piece of gear that I ordered on Alibaba about a month +/- ago. I was online in Tennessee and an article came up showing some RF guys running and gunning… think it was Patrick Lancaster… he’s a ‘Murican who married a Uke, and I guess she’s a Rus-Krainian. He’s been vidyaing alllllll over the Krain since the real beginning of the conflict. His latest is here:
So I saw at one point in one of his videos a Russian with what looked like a chest mounted computer/drone controller. I was intrigued ‘cos I -am- a bit of a “geardo”… I always like to look and try and keep up with the ‘stuff’… It’s not always about tacti-cool shit though. I researched and found out that the Company (in the Untied Staatz) is called “Juggernaught Case”. If you want to go check ’em, feel free. Google that, as I’m not linking it.
FWIW, the shit –is– cool AF but Holy Hells! Sticker shock mode activated! Like $200-300 to get a set-up and very limited models (i.e. the type of Cell Phone that’ll fit into it. Because I’m poor, I went looking for alternatives.
And found one on AliExpress:
OK… 7 Inches Long, 5 Inches Wide, and about 2 Inches Deep. Waterproof supposedly Total Cost w/Shipping was $25.
Wait time from Mainland Chy-Nah was for real, about a month it seems. Seems like a LOT longer BUT that’s the nature of things these days. We’ve gotten so used to ordering shit, and getting it within a day or two, we forget that old-skool shipping used to take quite a spell.
Came in today.
Granted, it’s got that “Chineseum Feel” to it… not exceptionally fragile but just…. I dunno… cheap mass produced maybe? I wasn’t expecting much for the price, but hey…
As I preach all the time, A $400 “Palmetto Poors” will kill you fucking dead same as a $2200 Daniel Defense. I rolled in Iraq AND Affy running a LOT of Condor Gear… stuff that was considered barely adequate for paintball by the guys shucking out MASSIVE prices for name-brand Crye Precision.
Guess what? MY shit is still good. Even after having it get the shit beat on and out of it. To continue.
First thing I did was a check on the “waterproofing” Popped it open, and set it full of kleenex. Figured tissue’d be a good ‘test’. I then filled the kitchen sink, and sank it into it. Put a pot on top to make sure it didn’t float up as it was rather buoyant. (Unlike the OceanGate sub)
First thing I noticed was no air bubbles. So I gave it a rest for a wee bit. Now, granted, this wasn’t active shit. Just a dry run. For all I know, storming the beaches and sheee-it’ll crack it wide the fuck open. BUT
After ten minutes I pulled it, and wiped down the exterior pretty thoroughly, as I didn’t want contaminates (water drops) getting the Kleenex wet and producing a false positive.
Sumbitch was dry as a bone. (This’s my surprised face, for real.) Huh. Next thing is to show off the outfitting. It’s got one primary ‘lock’ on the door. The hinge seems pretty resilient, and the rubber gasket is there and apparently fully functional.
So the interior:
Now, the Velcro that came with it was not glued down. It’s self adhesive. And my OCD is off the charts ‘cos I slightly fucked up laying down some of the Velcro. (Right pic, down towards the bottom)… not going to affect operation, but still… bit of a tooth grinder there so to speak.
Now, the case itself, besides being watertight, has a Molle-Mount on the back:
It unsnaps and mounts on the Molle. It looks like this when fully opened:
Once you have it mounted thusly:
You can slap your smartphone into it:
Now, yeah, a bit on the large-ish side. BUT hey, lots of room for other ‘fiddly-bits’ and whatnot. Thing off it is, IF you use a no-longer-in-service cellie like me, well this’s going to be the drone remote case. The remote can mount in the top part, and when I dismount it from my gear, it’s a nice neat package.
Now, granted, it ain’t no $200 Pricey Juggernaut Case.
This’s purely for low end-economics and useful. I’m –not– expecting anyone to go all in and think this’s going to survive long term. However, in the short term?
Considering the number of people who rely purely on their cell phone, who don’t have a compass, who don’t know how to use a compass, never mind a map, this gives to a slightly more resilient case than that ‘basic plastic skin’ that most folks run. It sure as hell ain’t the Otterbox, but for my purposes and uses, I got no issue using it.
And to close out for the night, a collection of the dank-er memes from the sub disaster I’ve found:
Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes! Gretchen’s Birfday today. 49 years young (again). Been a good day. Still buried at People’s Glorious Tractor Factory but, it pays the bills to a point and I actually -do- enjoy this job. I’ve had to, like so many others, suffer in a gig that you purely hate that this’s like a breath of fresh air.
So, we’re not really -doing- anything for the Birfday. I mean we are but not. I ponied up for her and Gran#1 and her BFF to go to “Tea” on Saturday. Like an honest-to-Gawd veddy veddy British Tea party where they get all gussied up and hats and gloves and sundresses… finger sammiches and tea in a seriously fancy-shmancy tea room.
Her being uber-girlie-girl and pretty Tradcon/Based for a chick, she’s really fired up to get dressy-dressed and out for an elaborate affair.
Why not? Gran#1 is all fired up too from what I’ve heard. Gretch got her a lil princess tiara, and gloves and all the fittins.
So that’ll leave me and Sapper and HIS fam here at the house, and we got plans to hit the fishing hole in the back yard to teach Atlas (Sapper’s gran) to go fishing. He’s only 5, so weapons are out for another year or so… may as well get him intro’d to fishing. There’s one HUGE bass in there that over the years has been caught NUMEROUS times… like I’d say (as of two days ago when one of the teens in the hood caught it) it’s about 8-9 pounds… big ole honker of a fish… Sucker’s been there forever and considering the number of times it’s been caught and released, I’m surprised it’s still alive. Tough SOB for a fish I suppose.
Now, Another meme about the 12 year old kid that they’re oh-so-desperate to destroy:
I think on this one the “Outraged ADL” and everyone WAY overplayed their hand. The mockery has been relentless. Another one:
And then this one:
Like I said Relentless And another Fren on gab pointed this lil Gem out:
“A Jew gives your 12- year-old a pornographic book – it’s education.” “Your 12-year-old gives a drawing of Hitler to a Jew teacher – it’s a criminal offense“
Uh… yeah. I didn’t save or -want- to save the picture as it had that at the top of the poast, and the pic? >Shudder< It was a screencap of a page out of that book… “Gender Queer” I utterly refuse to poast it or a link IF you want to puke, google it. This’s a book that they say is for elementary school students
Tell you what, burning books is a tragedy Burning this book? Needs to be done, PERIOD FUCKING DOT.
It is, by anyone who has a brain and/or moral code can tell it’s nothing but grooming material. SPARE me the ‘holier than thou’ shit about “You should never ban a book!!!” All these politicos and media fuckwits who say that on one hand, and yet mysteriously are quiescent about the fucking Bribery, the Laptop and well, anything and everything that shines a truth-light on #/theirguysevil.
And THAT right there. This shit is evil. You cannot, under ANY circumstances, change my mind. No fucking way in hell should any child under the age of 16 ever see or be educated thusly with such dastardly and malignant bullshit.
Bad enough that the ‘net is the “Wild Wild West” vis-a-vis pron and the like… Fucking selective outrage anyone? And they’ve even been stating that opposition to such a horrific grooming thing is Anti-Semitic?????
HOW IN THE HELL IS OPPOSING PEDOPHILIA, GROOMING SMALL CHILDREN, AND OPPOSING BLATANT PUBLIC HOMOEROTIC DISPLAYS BEING ANTISEMITIC?
As Tony Stark said
“I’ll take ‘things that make us look really really REALLY bad’ for $500 Alex”
As so often stated before… “…and then one day, another Hitler was elected, and no one understood why?”
All these fucking retards and fuckwits, living in their ‘safe space’ bubbles… thinking that ‘OrangeManBad’ was and/or the modern equivalent of MoustacheManBad… Hehe. These people, the fuckwits are, without a doubt the most ludicrous theoretical hoomons to have ever walked the Erf. Besides having zero experience in a fist fight (never having been punched in the fucking face) they’re also utterly ignorant of history.
They talk of OrangeManBad being the worst thing evvar Fuckers need to read up on Timur or Tamarlane as he’s better known.
17 Million. With swords… Hand to hand baby. Timur is the guy best remembered for essentially killing every. single. person. in the Central Asian Area of Operations… the guy who LITERALLY made pyramids of skulls. This in a time that an extremely rough estimate of the world population was about 390 Million.
He, using very rough maff kil’t 4.39%of the entire world population. Now THAT Guy? THAT’s a bad-ass who you utterly do not want to fuck with. These fuckwits have NO IDEA if there’s someone out there, seething, who’s along the lines of a Timur or Chingiss. If there is, they’re completely hosed man. Everyone is kvetching so hard over a fucking drawing So bad, Oy Vey that he, the teacher quit his job and got a restraining order out on the kid. Man, nice to see all that resiliency there huh? Can’t find his picture ( ANOTHER case of ‘I should have saved it rt-rt’) but yeah, it’s about as soy-soaked as you can imagine. Reality is, he’s won the new “oppression lottery”… Just watch… lawsuits and warfare inbound in 3…2…1… And that’s what it’s alllllll about in the end… Destroy a 12 year old kid, and profit from it. Fucking despicable.
Now, to finish up, I found ever moar LOLable memes on this… Like I said, the hilarity and ridiculing will go on and on and on until they get a fucking clue
And that right there Maaaan lots of sick n twisted folks… Gotta love the creativity of it.
