I was reading about Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky recently. Haha, the only good commie is a dead commie, even if he was murdered by another commie.

Even Beria ended up on his knees, blubbering like a little bitch in the basement of the Lubyanka. But they never seem to learn, do they?

Lmfao shut the fuck up about communism

STFU Commie filth.

Move to China faggit.

We need the Brazilian perspective.
- Brazilian Model 1908 Mauser Rifle in 7x57mm Mauser (Mfg by Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken, Berlin [DWM])
The Mauser Modelo 1908 long rifle became the standard infantry rifle for the Brazilian Army in 1908. The rifles were produced by DWM, then owned by the Ludwig Loewe Company. DWM, in turn contracted some rifles out to Mauser Oberndorf, which was also owned by Loewe at the time. The maker of any particular rifle can be determined by looking at the address – if Berlin, it is made by DWM. If Oberndorf, it is made by Mauser. The DWM made rifles are more commonly encountered. The contract ran from 1908 until the outbreak of war in 1914. The rifles are essentially the same as the German Gew98 with the most obvious exception being the tang style sight employed in lieu of the Lange-Vernier sight used on the Gew98. The receiver and bolt were left in the white, as was the bayonet lug. The remainder of the rifle was either chemically blued or heat blued. The stocks were made of walnut and retain the pre-1905 Gew98 style stock washer as opposed to the bolt takedown disk then in use on the German issue rifles. https://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=265-Brazilian-Model-1908-Mauser-Rifle-(Mfg-by-DWM)

Nice crest.

The guns from that are all have nice crests. I had a griend whose grandpa had a revolver from that time period (or it was a 1930s one, can't remember) with the same crest. Glorious.

An interesting Brazilian plane is the Embraer A-29A (aka EMB 314) Super Tucano, an inexpensive turboprop counter-insurgency and light attack aircraft that's also used as a trainer.

Another interesting turboprop light attack plane is the Piper PA-48 Enforcer close air support aircraft built by Piper in the 1970s. It is a development of the World War II-era North American P-51 Mustang fighter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-48_Enforcer

If you hate crowds so much and want to be a hunter-gatherer, you can do that now. Go live in some remote location, like the wilderness in Montana, the deserts in Arizona, the plains in Wyoming, or live among other aboriginal hunter-gatherers in Australia or Africa. Be prepared for a harsh and short life, though. Scrounging around for food, water and shelter is exhausting, I have heard.

AVERAGE WORLDWIDE HUMAN life expectancy reached 66 years in the first quinquennium of the twenty-first century, with extremes at the country level ranging from 39 years in Zambia to 82 years in Japan (United Nations 2007). Average life expectancy has increased linearly at almost three months per year over the past 160 years. Among traditional hunter-gatherers, the average life expectancy at birth varies from 21 to 37 years. https://condensedscience.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/life-expectancy-in-hunter-gatherers-and-other-groups/

It's only as dead as you make it.

Slow, yes. Dead, no.

BUT THEN WHO WAS WAIFU

reported for anime

Lol I don't even remember typing that.

I've seen things, things you would not believe... but mostly on a screen.

  Y'know how some military vets are triggered by fireworks? Well it's pressure cookers for me.

I was at a site with a gas turbine in the basement with the exhaust feeding a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). They also have a couple of other boilers and a steam turbine hooked up to a generator. The turbine was shut down when I arrived so I do my inspection while the operator is off messing with something over by the steam turbine. I complete my visual inspection and the operator says he's ready to start the gas turbine. Cool, I can check for leaks and get some running data.

The usual procedure is to start the gas turbine and just run it at idle for a little while to let the HRSG heat up. The HRSG is a boiler that uses the turbine exhaust as the heat source. Sometimes they will also have a "duct burner" which is like an afterburner on a jet, but its job is to make more heat (and steam) not thrust.

The operator starts it up, idles for a while, looking good, then commands the turbine to load up. Once you start putting on load the turbine, that's when the exhaust temperature and volume really starts. After a few minutes the steam pressure is starting to rise, and rise, and rise. The operator was off messing with the steam turbine and taking boilers offline, ok cool he's running the show.

I'm in the control room looking over some stuff on my computer when I hear "POP HIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS" coming from the plant. After a couple of seconds the building fire alarm goes off telling everyone to evacuate. I look out of the control room window expecting to see a burnt and scalded man appearing from a cloud of steam, but there was no visible steam and the operator was fine.

> pressure cooker venting sound, loud as fuck

The operator hauls ass back to the control room and tells me he wants to shut down the turbine. I initiate a normal stop from the control computer then go out to the turbine and hit the e-stop. For the next 20 minutes the fire alarm is going off, people are calling the control room phone asking what the fuck, and the operator going in every direction. The facility fire and safety people show up, wearing no protective gear at all, and look around a bit. Supervisors and managers start to appear.

After the steam whistling stopped, I went over to the steam turbine to find the offending pressure relief valve puking water everywhere. I figured this was a good of a time as any to get the oil sample from the gas turbine, so that's what I did, then packed my shit and left.

We got the fucking vehicles out. A regional tow service does off road work. I have since traded in that dodge for a Nissan Frontier 4wd.

How many people could that have killed?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Yo FPoP is that really you? Everyone I know thought you got Arab spring'd.>>112906

Yeap and no, if I could haul ass to participate in a protest I'd probably participate in getting my life together.

Very rarely have reindeer, I'm in a bit of a wrong part of the country for those guys.

The samic minority up north are fond of their reindeers, and the closest most norwegian will get to routinely have reindeer is these red cans of reindeer meatballs with gravy, with a strange sami caricature on it. serve them with some instant mash and you're good.

What we do have however, is a metric fuck load of moose and grouse, that's the game staple around central/south central norway.

far as lutefisk goes, I'll eat literally anything, but not lutefisk.

I do believe the AR10 was dutch-portugese, with a three position lower. One of two known to exist in Norway, and the only one to actually be in working order.

>>112870
Those OG AR-10s are pretty fucking neat. Very light for a battle rifle of that era.

I laugh every time the gunsmith in my shop spazzes out about how shitty the AR is. I think rifle is fine, but he tries out all the old cliches, shits where it eats, etc.

Who will be the next tripfag to return? Hmm...

Glad to see you're still kicking my dude.

>>112856
I still post, just not very frequently.

The fishing in Kentucky is absurd. While I miss having access to an easy 2000+meter range, I will trade that for an easy walk to a pond that yields frypan sized blugill/sunfish.


Besides. I have fucking deer and turkey walking through my yard here in Paducah.
