Show shall go on

Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

Hasbro said Thursday that it was dropping the Mr. from the Mr. Potato Head brand name and logo "to promote gender equality and inclusion.

Wow 2500 people, my city has 6 different zip codes in it. Miss a day or 2 on this thread it's hard to catch up. Rearranging the shop is always a long process. Some of us in here have been flagged and flogged for our posts and also threatened to be banished. Ordered a new jointer tired of my old one.

Pottz- similar to a jointer and planer combo-

No offense taken.
In south Georgia on the Univ. golf course attire is anything, denim, cargo sorts, tee shirts, whatever. The best dressed on our course is the Univ. women s golf team. Better golfers also than most also.

I have never been flagged as far as I know, am I doing something wrong?

In this New Age of computerized everything, it is no longer necessary in strategic terms to dominate the Sea-Lanes with Naval Power. This can now be done from Space - and this is what The Space Force was created to do! Sending people to Mars, or mining space rocks is all secondary to this One strategic objective of Global Dominance. Sending people to Mars is the sales pitch. Global Dominance is the Objective.

Anoter excellent post. I hope that this is read by others…

Thanks DW! Supporting what I have stated, notice the comet symbol in the Space Force logo, how it circles the Globe - that right there tells you all you need to know concerning what the Space Force is about. That comet is NOT headed to the far away star or the groups of stars. What I think is rather funny, is that the logo Ship looks just like the ships in the old Asteroids video game.

Carrier Groups are not entirely redundant yet, as the Empire may from time to time need these in use as forward airbases. But the latest generation of surface-to-ship missiles which both the Chinese and Russians now have in their arsenals prohibit any close encounters; Carriers will be simply target practice; and I am sure the US Navy has been well aware of this deterrent for some time. Perhaps you all have noticed the mad dash to get sattelites up in orbit by all the major players of the global chess match.

Now some Science:
The latest spacecrafts that have been recently launched like Deep Space 1, use ion propulsion with xenon as the fuel. In the initial stage, the craft also use solar panel arrays that will be jettisoned eventually. These craft have to carry 100-200 pounds of xenon fuel to get them where they want them to go. Once that fuel is used up, the craft will be useless. Now, there is currently a team working on sourcing funding for a new type of Zero-Energy engine that uses a magnetic field as propulsion. What makes this engine unique is that it is shaped like a cone with a magnet at the narrow end of the cone, so there is a net gain of energy generated in the magnetic field, and due to the conical shape this extra sum-gain energy is directed in one direction. The prototype for this engine is complete and tested, so their science is proved to work. This new type of engine weighs almost nothing compared to all others that have come before, and needs no fuel. Using our latest ion propulsion systems it would take 6 years to get to Jupiter. With this new type of zero-fuel engine, it would take it about 3 weeks to get up to speed, then another four - to - eight weeks to get to Jupiter, according to their estimates. This craft/engine, theoretically, can approach the speed of light, and all they would need to do to brake it, would be to reverse its course.

This is a very basic, and crude description of this new type of propulsion system. If they can make it work, it will completely revolutionize Space travel, where the Craft are concerned. What hasnt been answered yet, is what happens to humans when they are travelling this fast through Space. It is also possible that this type of engine can be used here on Earth.

Brian If we can catch and hold one of those Bigfoots with bright glowing eyes spotted in Alaska we could hold him hostage so the rescue ship gets close enough to capture it. We could reverse engineer the propulsion system to zip from plant to plant or galaxy to galaxy in a few days.

Forget the golf- Gimme Pizza

- Desert_Woodworker

Have not tried it. Wife and daughter both gluten intolerant. They tend to buy gluten free crusts and then make their own. Quite a few Pizza places now have a gluten free crust on the menu. First gluten free pizza we had the girls loved it I thought cardboard might have been better.

Been collecting tools that I don't need for many years. 82 years old and most of it with a shop of some type. Find some tools in the shop occasionally that I can not remember where it came from,, what it does, or how it works.

usually a steel ruler and a 0.5 mechanical pencil, Dove tails a marking knife.

wildwoodbybrianjohns · Mar 2, 2021

Layout? Layout? We dont need no stanking layout. No, seriously, 220, 221, whatever it takes.

I dont do dovetails - yet - but when I need to find absolute dead center I use this puppy. Sweet bit o kit. So well made and solid you can literally hammer nails with it.
