    Which Commercials Pi$$ You Off?

    And a few years later here comes the law firm commercials to sue all the above drug manufacturers for injuries for all the snake oil you've ingested.

    Used to hang out in Oldtown a lot in the day. Drinking age was 19 ;)

    Sniper fire in North Idaho on Firefighters

    You're right. If I ever did make the move I'd stay on the ID side.

    Sniper fire in North Idaho on Firefighters

    They predicted a Twin Cities merger a long time ago, also. If you have been to Liberty Lake in the last 10-15 years the place is an urbanized mess. For lake living I'd go to Sacheen, Diamond (although that was getting built up too, or I might consider a place on the shores of the Pend Orielle...

    You'd think Kathy Griffin learned the first time... but no.

    She's right. She was on the D List. She should be on a No Fly List.

    Californians have been coming up there since the late 60s including Pend Oreille county WA.

    The Covenant Sword and Arm as far as I know active in the 80s and 90s.

    Sniper fire in North Idaho on Firefighters

    Just south of Hayden Lake which at one point was home to an Aryan Nations compound. Don't know if any are still active. Hopefully they'll find the perps whoever they are.

    Texas Bans Red-Flag Laws

    Good; now maybe the legislature can tackle our freedom of association rights and revoke the silly Silver Alert Law. This is when a senior who has a mental health finding on record with DPS that he/she may cause harm to themselves or others if they go missing from the family (usually in a...

    Dark Energy: Off-Grid Power, Field-Ready Design

    1. EMP was known before nuclear test shots. The Starfish Prime test was in 1962 (I think) and was a high atmospheric shot of 1.4 MT over Johnson Atoll. Some lights went out in Hawaii and radio comms were disrupted IIRC. They knew there would be EMP just not as much as was produced. What...

    Marine sentenced to 7 years

    I've been TDY to Okinawa several times. The Japanese have been trying to get rid of at least some of our forces for years. I was talking to a USAF investigator at length one time, and this particular case is mild compared to others on the island; same thing in Korea, too.

    Why you shouldn't share military secrets with Congress.

    I mentioned a while back that I knew a few people who were involved with the Son Tay raid and maintained a newspaper reporter took a picture of the mock up camp in the states and published it, which tipped off the NVA to move the prisoners.

    BREAKING: President Trump says Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire" in the coming hours.

    IMO this has regional implications for the good. I think Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza strip, and the Houthis in Yemen have just lost their sponsor. At least that should be the case in any permanent cease fire deal and I don't think Trump would ignore that aspect. Praying for a...

    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    You're correct. Most radiation injuries are due to exposure to gamma radiation (nonparticulate, that is pure energy photons as are X-Rays). It is highly penetrating and exposure is cumulative. That is, if you receive a low dose say of 5 centi- Grays (old units rad) this year and next year you...

    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    No problem. Further info on plutonium and uranium is that they are alpha emitters which is a helium nucleus. Very low penetrating; a piece of paper stops these particles. No harm except if one internalizes the material. This is what happened to Alexander Litvinenko, a Russian defector in...

    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    Not to downplay this scenario, but plutonium and uranium make lousy dirty bombs and acquiring these elements is highly complex. There are more suitable substances in our hospitals, industrial sites, etc. which are easier to obtain and use.

    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    That reminds me. Who shipped around 87 tons of uranium to Iran in Dec 2007 to Jan 2008? Umm, could it have been Putin? It was for ostensibly the Bushehr power reactor which never manged to recoup the investment to generate power. The Russian VVER 1000 was shoehorned into a West German...
