Ed's farts have to be taught, not bought. Subscribe to Ed Bassmaster on YT and watch him do Tequila at the nail salon. Jack and Ed joined forces and made a "parent teacher conference" prank which is one of the greatest pranks of all time. They lay it down so smooth it's impossible not to believe it.

In an entirely unprovoked attack, a terrorist vessel destroys a colonial outpost on the far side of the galaxy full of peace-loving Federation settlers. As the video begins, Kirk confronted Spock and is taken aback by Spock's refusal to condemn the atrocity!

"I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment."

It's true, they're not all the same.

Shields up, Americans. The unconstitutional parallel universe world is now sending visitors.
All the popular voters, and songbirds on the Nooz, sitting around arguing about mindless half blind partisan nonsense while the most precious pieces of the country are stolen from under their (our) conceited noses.

Who am I kidding? It'll be too late by then. We need it now but it doesn't resonate.

This warrior-turned-poet gives the best primer on the Vietnam war one can get in 15 minutes. William Ehrhardt USMC, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines. This dark and powerful testimony might be difficult to watch so viewer discretion is advised. And that little bonus clip at the end...how about the power of girlfriends? Especially the Avatars we construct in our minds. and even more so doing it just to stay sane. That part really gut punched me in the end, as dark as the war stuff was. Equal parts awe and empathy.

Nobody will condemn those in power for failing to prevent it as they will be the ones being relied upon to wage it.
Col. MacGregor gets carried away at times but I agree with his view on this one. Americans, maybe those in other countries as well, have been drilled with what is an unrealistic view of what World War 3 is going to look like. Instead of some sudden Armageddon, the slow road to war will eventually "cross the Rubicon" and the ensuing violence will be as conventional as any other war. At first.

Francesca Albanese swats down another mindless smokescreen question mining for doubt over Israel and/or desperately rationalizing the support of the unsupportable.

USS New Jersey, the 2nd most battle-ready battleship still afloat in the world today, heads to its final destination before entering dry-dock for a major restoration. No it's not moving under its own power. If times got tough and the US ever had to recommission battleships, most plausibly for cheap shore bombardment in the Asian Pacific, Wisconsin and New Jersey would be the first two ships to get tapped. I hope their killing days are behind them.

My stomach was in my chest and my heart was in my throat when I first saw this. Honorable mention to the UK for actually voting for this resolution. Thank you.

My pappy said "son you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that rocket powered Lincoln." The most impossible car stunt ever attempted. Even after the whole charade is over, they point out how the car fell 90mph short of its intended speed of 270mph, and oh yeah the wind was blowing, as the reasons for this result. I suppose the guy who put those wings on the car was the same guy who talked to the media.
The forces on the car were already breaking the car apart on the ramp. The modifications would have to be so great it wouldn't even be a Lincoln road car anymore. If the car had all its speed, and the chutes didn't deploy, and it had a tailwind, and he had his lucky bracelet, it'd be a matter of throwing the chassis ahead just a little bit further across the river than it actually went.

A member of the "Fighter Mafia", Pierre Sprey worked in the development of some of the USAF's top aircraft like F-15, F-16 and A-10. He became somewhat famous in later years for his criticisms of the military bureaucracy in what he referred to as the Pentagon's "self-licking ice cream cone." Sprey died in 2021 but his legacy lives on, and where we are now with the F-35 in 2023-24, the true subsidized prices are probably a lot closer to what he predicted than the official headline.
It'd be a worthy project I'd like to start to make a new D or E model out of the C which is imo a decent plane/platform given features like larger wings and reinforced undercarriage. That said, the worst thing about all this isn't the cost overruns, it's the policy. It's what we do with the damn things. It's a paradoxical love-hate relationship I have with planes. I remind myself it's not the planes' fault, e.g. the Japanese jets are innocent enough.
Like every other issue, if someone is being attacked in today's world, they must be right.

The first true pyramid of Egypt and arguably the most perfect of the Egyptian pyramids, the chambers inside the Red Pyramid have incredible acoustical resonance. That descending passage is a lot longer than he said... it's really about 200 ft long. It'd be mindblowing to go down that passage all by myself, to even reach the bottom. Alone in the dark, I might crawl back up before I went 30m, not gonna lie. I'd complain about the flashlight. yeah that's what I'd do.

It looks like the 3rd chamber is off limits to visitors other than to stick your head in and look. I would love to put some penetrating radar at the far end of that 3rd chamber to see if there are any hollow cavities there. If the pattern holds there will be another chamber parallel to the 3rd, and continuing the pattern the 5th chamber will be up and to the right of the 4th. Creating an internal upwards corkscrew. To my untrained eye looking at the far end of the 3rd chamber in this video, it looks like there's something there. Some color differences if nothing else. I'm perhaps looking at repairs and maintenance/upkeep.. but still, I'd love to be the Indiana Jones figure that combs it over. Allegedly the Great Pyramid has mysterious cavities in it that are still undiscovered so it makes me more interested in this, the Red Pyramid which is probably the most beloved Pyramid of all for the ancient Egyptians.

If I am allowed to speculate wildly I do wonder if there is a 4th and 5th chamber, the 5th perhaps the smallest of them all but also the most important. The first two chambers have 11 "baffles" and the 3rd chamber has 14 baffles, not 13.

From the perspectives of two famous villains: King Joffrey Baratheon and Charles Manson. I don't support either of these characters. Their examples were chosen because they make it easier to see the difference. I admit these two situations of one without the other are very uncommon. Authority and power are highly correlated in reality. As well, the fictional King Joffrey had power aplenty, he just didn't have any in this particular moment.

A lightning left hook and a gunpowder right hand. His opponents risked death in the ring. Tommy "the Duke" Morrison was a distant relative of actor John Wayne, hence "the Duke." His personal life was riddled with controversy that remains mysterious to this day, now many years after his death. His womanizing and reckless lifestyle was believed to have taken its toll on his professional career and health after he was diagnosed with HIV+ and was convinced to go public, which may have been an obligation professionally since boxing can be an intimate business. Later in his life he tested negative, calling into question the accuracy of his initial diagnosis. If I wasn't careful I might speculate his wife had something to do with it given she wanted him to get married, settle down and have children. If she loves him, and he keeps cheating on her...that could drive a good woman crazy. Pure speculation though, I should avoid that.

It's kinda funny how everything was going great and suddenly a colonist started disrespecting the King for absolutely no reason. Taxes I guess. This 'Schoolhouse Rock' cartoon aired on US broadcast TV during kids' shows/cartoons in the 1970s and '80s.
