Modern chemistry can do amazing things.

My parents have an ADT system and we did too at our old house. I don't have one now because their monitoring fees got outrageous, defeating the system is super easy, and it's designed for detection, not prevention. There's no reason whatsoever for the interior alarm to be that loud. All it does is make you unable to hear anything for the following minute or two. In my experience, the "false alarm grace period" was much longer than 30 seconds. More like several minutes. We have a big dog who barks his fool head off at noises.... while running the other way. But I'd guess the sound of a big dog is more intimidating than an alarm to the typical burglar.

Pressure is the same in every direction. Doesn't matter where you make holes, it will leak at the same rate. Normal air pressure at sea level is 14.7psi. The air pressure at 65,000ft is about 0.8psi and the temp is about -65F. Flying a U2 "near it" likely meant within 10 miles. A collision between the U2 and balloon would yield a smoking hole in the ground. It flies at nearly 500mph and can't maneuver much at all at that altitude.

That would mean there are dozens of subs cruising around on the surface all over the world. The Kursk was 500 ft long and sank in 300 ft of water. The Persian Gulf is only 300 ft deep.

I got one of these for my wife... https://thewellarmedwoman.com/product/sabre-dual-capacitor-stun-gun-with-led-flashlight-in-purple-or-black/

We carry the Sabre gel. Never had to use it but I have sprayed my aged out tube in the back yard and they worked as expected.

Correct. The ballon was well above the service ceiling of our fighters. The F22 flew up to about 40k feet and let the missile climb the rest of the way to the balloon. I suspect part of the delay was waiting for the submarine with the recovery team to get in position.

You don't want either of those Shinkos for mud. I have the 241's on my bike and they're great everywhere except thick mud. They load up in the sticky mud and quickly become useless. I love splashing through the puddles but I stay out of the gooey stuff. You want a really aggressive MX style tire for mud. Big, widely spaced lugs that will clear easily. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/kenda-k-760-trakmaster-ii-tires https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/shinko-524-525-series-soft-intermediate-tires

I don't think they shot it, I think they buzzed it supersonic and let the shock waves take it down. A friend lives in Myrtle Beach and said he heard 2 sonic booms.

Museum of Appalachia is a really cool place. Go to Colonial Williamsburg and you can watch people make guns that way, it's fascinating. If I was financially independent, I'd go apprentice there.

I'll add.... basic household skills or what we called chores.... laundry, cooking, cleaning, ironing, caring for critters, trash disposal, simple organizing, .... all the things I can't get my teenager to do without threat of bodily harm.

Verbal communication skills. They need the confidence and vocabulary to adequately communicate clearly and with tact. The ability to listen, process what they heard, and respond appropriately. Whether asking or answering, with adult or another child. The value of hard work, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Both physical work of sports or building/fixing things, and mental work of school subjects. Work seems less like drudgery when they can see the goal/end game.

2 Valkyries.... with 12 carburetors between them. Friend of mine has one with about 100k, runs like a top.

Unfit to cook on how? Cracked?

It would be Interesting to know if gangs have begun to infiltrate the police. Taking over institutions from within seems to be the new way. All I know is there's a lot of people who need Jesus in their heart.

The real shame is that it takes a lawyer to understand and interpret them.

That's what I expected since you said they were inexpensive. In that case, a normal knife sharpener should work fine. The only problem is the coating on the blade will load up a stone or diamond really quickly so you need to be careful not to get into the coating. Else you spend more time cleaning the stones than sharpening the blade.

Are you sure they're ceramic? You can't sharpen ceramic knives with any normal sharpening system.

I agree, Just perhaps not enormous and outdated pressurized water reactor plants.

The best blasting cabinet you can get is someone else's. As mentioned, it takes a huge compressor to run one effectively, they're big, and really messy. That said, the media won't hurt your critters.

That looks better. Hard to tell how it really looks in a few pictures. A couple straps on either end would help too. And I agree with them on the tools... the tools you get to buy are the payback for DIY home projects.

It's against the law to possess raptor feathers without a permit. Hawks, owls, falcons, eagles, etc.

They get so focused on their prey that they don't see anything else. Target fixation at its finest.

I would definitely put something much longer under the HVAC duct to support it over a greater length. If there ls enough pressure to crush the dryer vent pipe, it'll do the same to the HVAC duct over time. Maybe a 24" strip of 1/2" plywood, something that will flex some. The fake return vent is a neat idea and it'll confuse the crap out of the next home inspector.
