I’ll plug one of my favorite books that uses nothing but cartoons to teach everyday grammar in Japanese.
It’s got lots of language you don’t learn from most textbooks.
Negotiations with Tekeshi’s mom?
About 60 years ago, VN era, I started saving cartoons from the Army times, Army oriented humor, I assembled a loose leaf binder of them. I’ll try to remember to bring it out for HH, the ex military guys, particularly army, may enjoy the nonsense we laughed at back in the old days.
How about PS Magazine?
I miss the old Connie and Bonnie. Siiigghhh.
At the time I was in a joint office and we didn’t get PS Mag.
Connie/Bonnie must have been after my time…
Oh yeah, now I remember Connie, I’d forgotten her name but not her other assets.
The green machine hasent changed much.
No it hasn’t! Looks the same.

The big green wenie, my bad.
Fun, travel, and adventure.
6 years at fort Campbell not as bad as being say stuck at Ft Jackson (the armpit of the U.S.) but pretty close.
Ft Jackson sucks, but not like the suck of Ft Polk. That place makes Ft Irwin seem wonderful.
Ahh! Only got to visit for one rotation. Record setting heat and safety stand downs, but not for us in the field.
I have a picture of our platoon filing by a sign that said “Snake Area – Keep Out”.
And then afterwards the fine wooden barracks for transient units.
Polk sucks.
Some jackass took a crap in our water buffalo.
Being at Polk and playing like we were in the field for two weeks was way better than garrison at Campbell.
I wanted to open everyone’s veins at Campbell.
Not bad and a fun outlet to pick up. anti- Did you use ai drawing, tell it what you want, then edit the pics by specifying what works and telling it what to get rid of/ downplay?
I don’t get 1 and 2, 3 is good , 4 I get but it’s a meh, if I’m being honest.
3 is the best. I don’t get 4 either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I reversed 4 into a joke, perhaps as intended. “This is a Wendy’s” is the joke that didn’t require a punchline, because Wendy’s sucks.
(I actually like Wendy’s, so YMMV. Spicy chicken and their chili. Was once ~once a week when at Walmart, fucking bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg for fucking $5?! Damn. And Carmel’s fancy so even fast food is good. *chefs kiss* )
3 is the best but I think I’ve seen the joke before.
Wendy’s is >> those other two. And yes, the spicy chicken.
Wendy’s went downhill after Dave died.
Before. Dave gave up control before he returned as a spokesman. Yellow Wendy’s was the best.
I didn’t realize, until I watched the French soçcer team on tv, that France is apparently a Sub-Sahara African nation.
The Scramble for Africa paid off, didn’t it.
More amusingly, a lot of the tiny countries field teams where no player lives there, plays there, or was even born there.
I’m not much of a fan of Harling but, give the man credit, he’s a beast in front of goal.
I have not been either entirely because of his club that I hate, but watching him tonight, he’s a goofy goon.
PS the Brooklyn neighborhood I lived in for 16 years was largely Norwegian before all of them moved to LI and NJ and were replaced by Arabs and Chinese.
So every year I would watch the Norwegian parade pass by my house to the bemusement of all the vibrant newcomers.
I hope they brought lefske and lutefisk for everyone.
The Algerian troops in France in 1940 fought harder than the native Frenchies.
There’s a lot of Algerians buried at Verdun as well.
Don’t forget their contributions to the French defense at Dien Bien Phu.
Another thing wrong with Comic 1, Bobby and the old man aren’t looking at the robot. The old man may be looking downward and to the right at the robots right foot , but Bobby is definitely looking up and at something in front of him and the Robot is directly to his right.
I think that’s referencing the robot that kicked the kid in China.

Pass.
Since my last PC bricked itself I make do with a Mac and a Switch that I recently obtained. Meets all of my gaming needs minus one or two games I miss but there are so many others on the back burner.
FWIW, gaming on Amazon Luna has been good.
I can run it on my tv or my iPad.
Lemme know when they get to $800. Otherwise, I’m not terribly interested.
Right now even the Steam Deck is touching $800. The RAMpocalypse is killing pricing.
I think once we start getting into four figures, just build your own PC that lets you do everything a PC does. I’m not some big gamer so hell if I know, but even when I did game on the PC my thing was modding it. Which you can’t really do on your own with this.
And think how pissed you’ll be if you buy a game at some point and that thing can’t play it at peak performance. Console games are designed for a standard console experience (and still often broken). How long until games are coming out that the hardware of this won’t be able to handle it?
I guess you sell this as some sort of thing for newbs into PC gaming, but that’s a hefty price tag for those kinds of people. If you aren’t already into PC games are you going to really be able to justify something like this? Because a P
It’ll become more palpable I suspect with the next Playstation, but for now I just think it’s so niche and it’s still competing against the latest consoles while the top end version is nearly 3x what they cost or more.
Part of it is the huge and growing demands of AAA over “lesser” games.
It used to be everyone could play any game out there. Now it’s a matter of chasing the latest specs that add little or nothing to the actual enjoyment of a game. I’m not going to play along with that nonsense.
I get that, but it’s also another point against it because in a few years games are going to surpass this thing as it currently goes. You can’t upgrade this like you would a PC to extent it’s life.
It’s possible that if it’s a success that games are designed with it in mind to prevent that, but then you’re also holding back the game development to some extent.
I could also just be ignorant and not know what the fuck I’m talking about. I am just an asshole on the internet.
The target audience seems to be “serious” gamers who don’t already own a PC. A tiny bunch it would seem to me but yeah, WTF do I know.
Catching the last half of ‘Some Like It Hot’ on TV. Marilyn Monroe is being very reasonable while trying to seduce a gay-but- don’t-say-that dude on ‘his’ boat.
“It’s like smoking without inhaling” he says after she kisses him deeply. (Oh, she may have turned him, at least for the night?) I’m positive George McFly didn’t see this flick before he met Marty. I believe it’s highly regarded and I can see why. Very out-there comedy for the day. (I’m just seeing it seems she was sexually extorting him and did a very good job of that, as well. And the other dude in drag was proposed by another wealthy gentleman.)
“Why would a guy marry another guy?!”
“Security!”
I get the sense this film wouldn’t be allowed today. All the drag and sexifying to turn gay folk NOT gay to financially dupe them?!
Oh, well, I NEVER!!
Uh, they weren’t gay.
I’m not talking about Lemmon and Curtis as the girls. After reading on wiki, see the dude on the boat really was impotent because of the death of his previous lover. Not gay, but that seems the obvious ‘hidden’ connotation. Especially with his effete qualities. Don’t know why *now* wiki-woke folx would further praise the film for that. Strange. I really don’t think that was Lemmon or Curtis NOT in drag. I didn’t see the first hour+ of the flick so I’m not sure.
Now this may be news to the masses, but Monroe had a really nice rack. Like a full handshake, all there, but not jumbo-tron.
Uwe Boll has a new movie out.
Citizen Vigilante.
I’m sure it will put a smile on my face.
Um Gottes willen.
Will he fix the cable?
Don’t be fatuous, Double E.
I brought home a dynamic tire balancer from Marketplace today. So now I’m back to doing all of my own tire service, lol.
Nice.
Last thing I got off of marketplace before my ban was a newer machine. Beats my old atlas (coasts 1010 copy). I dont ballence my trailer tires and can’t justify the space a ball ever takes up. But for the price anymore it’s not a bad idea to do your own. Save $500 or more buying from online and doing the work every set.
My friend and I picked up a touchless tire machine at a Harbor Freight parking lot sale. It has worked great for smaller trailer tires up to the 35s on my truck.
My newer one is a modern style Coated machine, stand up bead breaker and the arm, sadly not the version that has the power down arm. It won’t handle the front tires on my backhoe or skidsteer.
The backhoe has a built-in bead breaker.
Coates
The backhoe breaks beads. A can’t get the dang things back on though! Even with 16.5s they are stiff!
Yeah, I took the pneumatic tire on the 8k forklift to Les Schwab, lol.
I dread the day I have to take my loader in. One of the fronts has a bead leak. It loses about 10psi a month.
Going to be $$$$
My brain automatically translated all of those to Coates.
This reads like a pneumatic machine talking to his doctor about erectile difficulties and dysfunction.
Evan.
The rim clamp cylinder was bad when I bought it, pneumatic. Bought the parts to fix it (from Hawaii of all places) and now the bead breaker cylinder is bad. Always maintenance when you buy used stuff.
More expensive maintenance when you buy new.
And when you get a load on the loader (technically icky a forklift) the bead leak is slight but audible. But mostly they are round, plump, black and full of air.
Yes, a nice, tight rim clamp cylinder helps the big thing that goes up go up, stay straight, firm. Never lose pressure. Covered by insurance.
*Erector foreman sagely nods*
Evan, real men change the tire on the rim.
Threedoor, when you have spare time around Spokane area, I can show you what all the doodads on a Bridgeport do.
Maybe hiking halfway up an active volcano isn’t a good idea.

“Holy Fuck” indeed. At least they remembered to take some pictures of the lava rain.
Retards with money.

I’ve done some dumb stuff but only that which would have killed me by my own direct action or inaction.

Whoa…
Actual quote from The Guardian USA’s Facebook:
Access to power over other racial groups is their preferred political currency (on an article on how the white working class knows America’s system is failing, but doesn’t care).
Do you want to know more?
I think that’s enough.
My wife found this swinging pad.
Where it’s at it’s probably worth it if you could subdivide it.
Eat your heart out Pie.

Looks like 3-4 acre subdivision to the north.
Some developer is going to make a killing on this place.
I drove by there to get my balancer. Rathdrum prairie is so sad now. In ’89 they were complaining about smoke from burning the grass seed fields. Well, there are no grass field fires now.
“Incel content”. He wasent wrong about lady cops. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/livestory/montreal-shots-fired-officer-injured-emergency-alert-9.7244582
I hate how cops and the media call citizens civilians. Bitch. Every cop outside of the MPs are civilians.
Here we have a female cop smoking a citizen at point blank range with a double tap. Poor guy was running to her for help away from the gunman. https://funker530.com/video/at-least-3-dead-in-montreal-shooting-caught-on-video
Shut up citizen and accept your police betters.
If only the chick had a bolty instead of the cell phone.
Seem to be a lot of foreign born persons occupying judgeships nowadays. Im sure that is healthy.
Am I the only one who thinks foreign born persons should not hold positions of authority in a country?
BUT WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS!
Melting pot…lie…destruction of culture….shut up and accept it.
