    Nellis has both. There are several of each type of fighter there permanently with the Weapons School. Additionally, between Red Flag and various other exercises, there's almost always other contingents passing through in varying numbers.

    I'm not sure if the dual engines provide a slight bit of noise canceling against each other, but I always felt the F-16 was louder. As far as the high-pitch whine from the intakes; nothing will ever beat the T-37.

    When you said just one hit and 5 min later you're smoking out the neighborhood.

    That looks like a goddamn volcanic eruption. It must be nice to live in a place where you can give the impression you set the entire neighbourhood on fire and nobody gives a fuck.

    My 30th bday is in a few days, and I got an early present:

    Sawstop contractor table saw

    I know sawstops have their issues (namely people who make it the safety break fire when it isn't supposed to), but I learned on a SS and it's what I'm used to. If I ever get to the point where my skills are greater than the capabilities are greater than that table saw, I'll be a very happy man.

    Very nice! I was looking at them when I was updating my last saw, but just couldn't justify the expense. I am seriously looking at grabbing their "over the blade" dust extraction system for my current saw though, as it works very well.

    Enjoy!

    And let's face it, if anyone needed a sawstop around here, it's you.

    My problem with sawstop is they are trying to force/lobby a saw blade stopping technology into law. But they are sueing people who try and make similar technology. Bosch Reaxx had a better version of the technology but sawstop sued them and the court sided with sawstop now bosch cant import that saw. They are basically a patent troll.

    They're beautiful, effective, expensive saws. I would have never bought one myself, but I'll happily take one as a gift. And the technology works (I haven't read enough about their patent trolling stuff). I've spoken to a few people who can personally attest to it.

    OK... this is kind of... no, make that REALLY funny.

    You know this thing called the Internet, it has created a bunch of really fucking annoying people who claim to know way more than they do.

    Some people get somewhat pissed off over it, and that has spawned a ton of funny (because they're true) memes/cartoons:

    [​IMG]

    Well, yesterday on Reddit someone posted a pic of a chair with some wire attached to it and claimed it was a torture electric chair, due to car batteries hanging about in the area.

    One guy got REALLY REALLY pissed off at the lack of education, so they called out the poster, and provided evidence.

    One of the funniest things I've ever seen on the internet.

    https://np.reddit.com/r/WTF/comment...tric_chair_while_exploring/e1fcy3r/?context=3

    Yes, you saw that right... the dude connected bench power leads to his nutsack and took a picture of it and posted it online to prove that you can't just torture people with a car battery like you see in the movies.

    And he even provided some solid science with his smackdown: "Consequently, wet scrotum appears to measure roughly 690Ω, and consumes 276mW in this demonstration."

    I would imagine that the results would have been different had he broken the skin.

    Why? It’s still only 13.8 volts.

    Normal skin resistance = 100,000 ohms.
    Wet or broken skin has a resistance of about 1,000 ohms.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_injury


    Ohm's law = V = I/R

    13.8 = I / 1000

    therefore I (current) = 0.0138 amps

    That's going to do fuck all.

    Maybe I'm warped, but sometimes the wording of a story can make a horrible accident funny:

    Katie Malone was on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, celebrating her birthday when she went parasailing. But the parachute line broke and she was in the air for 45 minutes before she crashed into an airport

    All a car battery is going to do to you is fuck all, I’ve worked with 12 volt shit my whole adult life and it will not hurt you unless your actively fucking with HEI distributor systems and or hybrid systems.

    Getting bit by an HEI system sucks, but even then it won’t kill you.

    Now a hybrid system will kill you if you aren’t careful but again that cancels out a “12v” system.

    Side note. Day drunk at the beach is the tits.
