I have had two artificial lenses put in (cataracts ruined my eyes). I did have dry-eye syndrome, and it continues, but the new eyeballs are simply spectacular. (BTW, I paid all of my costs, and it was worth it)

It occurs to me that catching a big mess of crappie would solve a lot of life problems for me. It's been a looong time since I got into a limit.

Around here, I can't keep a trap. Gets stolen every time, no matter where I put them. Apparently I am not good at hiding them.

Toops. Related but sorta something - https://theaviationist.com/2017/02/19/u-s-air-force-deploys-wc-135-nuclear-sniffer-aircraft-to-uk-after-spike-of-radioactive-iodine-levels-detected-in-Europe/
This is interesting - and evidence of how an incident can be difficult to pinpoint quickly.
Probably *not* a nuke test, as CTBTO would be screaming bloody murder. (unless it was a colossal dud)

Ok, here is something many here can comment on.
I'm relatively young and wasn't even alive yet when Chernobyl happened. Now, it was a different time and the internet was barely existent, but was there as much "OMG THE SKY IS FALLING" over Chernobyl as there seems to be for Fukushima?
There seems to be a lot of hysteria right now in certain corners, I'm merely trying to form my own opinion on whether the hysteria is warranted.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNo. I worked in a health physics instrument calibration lab at the time, and it was of great interest to us. It was in the media for a while, and *closely* followed by HPs for most of a decade, but not anything like current situation. (It took a week or more for the plume to arrive in Europe, and several more weeks to "blow up", then media died down in a year or so.)

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHeh. OK then. Nevermind. The "individual" you encountered would be astounded by Astana, and downright petrified by the rest of the Russian legacies. As for NWO... Astana is too damned cold to be HQ.

I personally feel like Astana has something to do with the deterioration of our ecosystem.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAstana does not hold a candle to the Mayak complex. Not even orders of magnitude close.

Not sure what is changed, but now all working on the Note 10.1, so thanks David!

I don't have a Note, but I use my Galaxy S5 phone on TGO a lot. I don't have those issues on it. Have you updated your operating system to the latest? I'm running Marshmallow Android 6.0.1. I don't know if that will affect it or not though.
I do have the Tapatalk issue on my iPad though. My Safari browser logs me out everytime I leave TGO for more than about 5mins, and I have to log back in eventhough I check remember me or whatever. Actually, it's done that since before the upgrade I just never mentioned it. However, Tapatalk wanting me to join everytime I log in is new for me.
Thanks,
The Note 10.1 is up to date, but running the original OS version of Android (4.1.2). It has zero glitches, so I have not thought about upgrading the OS (and probably would just get a new tablet someday).

I have a Samsung Note 8. I'll check TGO from there and see what's up.
Thanks. Low priority of course. I use it for bedtime reading, so it's not the end of the world.

OK, I am slow to bring this up, maybe even just slow...
But since all the <shudder> "changes" in the last month, my Android tablet ( - aging Samsung Note 10.1 using the standard OEM browser) no longer cooperates.
1. it seems to *really* want me to install Tapatalk (I have resisted for years, preferring the regular innerdwebz browzer)
2. It shows all the forum listings, but will not open any threads (nor will it open "unread")
Any tips out there to get me going sans installing Tapatalk for TGO? It otherwise browses other's site content just fine - looks just like the "big" computer.
Thanks, B.

I whacked mine on the table top, and it is fine now.

My team and I were coming back from San Carlos Bariloche, Argentina, and were in the airport lounge in Buenos Aires.
We noticed a *lot* of activity by security, and the local public address system calling out every few moments. After about a half-hour (Our Spanish was poor), I realized that the PA was naming a very poor rendition of my *partner's* name!
My partner shyly raised his hand, and motioned to a security guard. He was escorted off by 3-4 very annoyed guards.
The problem - A *large* equipment case 36"x24"x24", that they could not x-ray (too much attenuation). The cause? Chocolate bars. The case was full of chocolate. Bariloche is the chocolate capital of South America, and... apparently, chocolate bars remind x-ray technicians of you got it... explosives. A half-pound lighter (for their troubles), the case went on to baggage check-in, and our team member was returned to us - slightly embarrassed, but relieved.

What type holsters are you using?

Admittedly, It does not bother me that my venerable P3AT languishes sans TLC, unlike the rest of my collection. This one is definitely a tool, but seems to hold up well.

I leave my EDC in the holster, since I got it some 10+ years ago. At 5 years, I had a bit of sweat induced surface rust in a few worn areas. I cleaned it up, polished & buffed with Johnston's Paste Wax (yellow-can floor wax) and no problems since.

Must be overloaded. No matter where I click on the globe, I get "station unresponsive" and it sounds like I'm tuning thru the lower end of the 40m band on my Swan 350
heh. THAT brings back memories. I had a Hallicrafters S38 when I was a kid.

The Ruger Super Red Hawk is good. Only 7.5" bbl, but I killed DRT at 80+ yds with mine. Mine is this - https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/70252/Ruger+5501+Super+Redhawk+KSRH-7+6RD+44MAG+7.5"
Dad has one in .454 Casull that also works well.

Not much info in that story. I wonder how old there are; they could have released that. But they must believe they set them intentionally with those charges.
14 people dead and no telling how many going through painful burn recovery. Terrible.
I listened to the press conference, and that was asked. The officials cited law, and declined to answer.

I was going to make a wisecrack about not running your boat in the parking lot... until I realized "oh bleep. He *actually* hit a car". Once a buddy and I hit a ~18" dia deadhead at over 60 MPH. It sheared the lower unit clean off the motor.
