So, tonight, I'm on a...

HIGH

way

to 

the

DANEjuhZONE

Seeing Top Gun: Maverick with some friends; first time I've been to the movies, accompanied, since the Whole Thing Started (I did go once, alone, to see Dune). 

By the way: My callsign is "Ghost Rider".  So there.

Fun movie, action is good, even the plot lines are good. Aviation sequences mostly accurate.

My annual harassment training.

No how many times I take it, I never get it right.

I still get slapped......

Next time, try saying; "You, with all those curves... and me, with no brakes...".

Well, it looks like I may have sold my house.  Not as much as I'd hoped for - not by a long shot - but the market is starting to collapse.  

Now to find a place to live - my options are about $30K less than they were before.

"Anything that can't go on, won't go one", as the saying goes.  We've been in a massive asset-inflation bubble for a long time, in housing.

True.

I'm sort of a wreck at the moment. I feel like I'm at the top of the roller coaster knowing that there are only a few more clicks before the plunge into the unknown.

The unknown is very likely to be better than what you've gone through in the last decade.

What's the difference between the Clinton administration and the Biden administration?

When the Clinton administration ended, Hillary took china from the White House.
When the Biden administration started, Joe put China in the White House.

Interesting typo in an ad in the recent Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's flyer:

Also, how can it use 2 different calibers changing only the cylinder, not the barrel too?

I feel exactly this way, watching the Republic turn into a Banana Republic, watching everything being destroyed.

Given the current sexualization of everything, I guess the Banana Republic will replace Lady Liberty with Chick Eat A Banana as its symbol.

0.357 inch = 9.06mm.

Actual diameter of 9mm is 9.03mm. It's within tolerances to use both rounds.

It's so good to know that tolerance is not yet quite extinct...

Thanks. I had kind of figured, but wasn't sure. 

I'm sure it is more accurate than an actual 1873 revolver.

I did get to hold an actual 1890's Colt revolver.

Did you note the typo in the ad?

They were merely trying to suggest that this would be the perfect pistol for a dual in the sun...

If I'm not mistaken, the barrels for .357 and 9mm Parabellum are pretty much identical in diameter.

I've been writing a little arcade submarine game in Python. For a while, I was able to shoot rectangular ships; now it creates destroyers and freighters randomly. Has multiple waves of ships and can aim torpedoes.

Now add a limit to the number of torpedoes loaded, some spares, and a reload time. And a score for each ship sunk.
