Canada understands how to free trade routes

TWZ skipped the difference in steel between shells US M107 is made with easier to heattreat/forge/machine 104X series steel (various # for X in there have been used) US M795 is made with HF-1 steel which is more difficult to do those process to, picture is clipped from a 1981 report

That’s F1 great Stirling Moss after winning the 1955 Mille Miglia, if you want a fun weird backward tech he won partly because his navigator used recently adopted by them roller instructions

There’s an extremely great much problematic about Lutyens New Delhi, but there’s also much about the contemporaneous US government that lusted after it?

It sort of does though?

Anyone with a skullbones tat is dubious these days, but it’s the skew of the skull that makes it unmistakably SS. The 17th Lancers (charge of the light brigade) cap badge was bones & skull, so were the Black Brunswickers (Painting is thought to be someone leaving to defeat Napoleon at Waterloo)

Eddy liked Gauloises

So, where did CONCACAF have their headquarters before Chuck Blazer resigned in disgrace with the Sepp Blatter scandal? US sports are corruption, hustling and scams and that goes way back. Understanding is fundamental. Bill here was a hustler, that’s an ashtray in his wooden leg

The dam is recent construction might have been designed in?

It’s amazing how all the designers had similar ideas but only the M100 Lotus Elan executed it with a slice of competence?

Too much spruce wasn’t a big US problem, they made stumps.

Paris of the Plains was a dream (1917 conception for a future Minneapolis)

It’s a weird retro Americanism by people who have no desire to ever return to that place, picture is 1912

Yes, and, no? The factory and the home are about 1/2 mile apart, and evolved at around the same time, the factory was sandcasting large blocks of metal into the 90s

I’m average US height and have travelled to places where buildings were designed for people well below that I can totally understand the irritation (I have to duck at every door?), but big lifted trucks are ridiculous you can accommodate people in different ways.

I think the difference is Morgan bailed out the US, the current oligarchs look for US bailouts. And Morgan personally funded this

I don’t respect the gilded age barons, a great many were a-holes I hate the press that won’t acknowledge the modern spite fences (that’s two of the big four fine it)

Kea - the worlds only Alpine parrot Had one unscrew the antenna on the rental car and damage the weather rubber strips for no reason but they were bored. One description of an incident (not mine) was they helpfully cut the climbing rope in 1m lengths. Smart, stubborn, loveable bastards

And ‘94

Not my pic but Pierre in ‘79

The SVP doesn’t dog whistle - actual ad of theirs

If it had a dial yeah, fine vehicles such as the Buick Century had the whatever this thing was

If it were legit from his trail work days it‘d probably be a Pulaski (which can be confused for an axe, and needs sharpening, but is an even weirder thing to sharpen in a DC apartment)

Barrelspacks are awesome, have one like this:
