The A-Bomb helped out with that. I understand what you're saying I don't recall a lot of detail (other than the A-Bomb) about what lead to their victory. But there are few things that I think about which allow me to somewhat see how things could work in this "what if" world. What if the Americans failed at Midway. That Battle could have gone either way. A few random events helped out with the Americans winning. That and some skill. The Japanese were fighting in the blind working on old information to begin with. Had they known exactly where the US Carriers were that battle may have gone differently. Or what if the Germans won the Battle of the Bulge. Or rolled out their Jet Fighters sooner. Or didn't invade Russia. More resources could've been committed to fighting the Allies. What if the Germans didn't by the fact that Patton was coming from Africa? During the Battle of the Bulge when Patton was "rescuing" the 101st. He left behind a unit that wreaked havoc on the Germans. The Germans sent an elite armored unit to go fight the remnant instead of sending them to fight the bulk of Patton's forces. Had that unit remained committed the Allies would've suffered greatly. I could very well be wrong. But the little I know. There was skill, preparedness, and people who knew how to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves.

Four hours ago, coming home from Church. I saw 3 blackhawks flying very low over my neighborhood. Two were up close another out in the lead. I thought this weird because I typically do not see military aircraft flying on the weekend. Now we have flights of C-130s flying Monday-Friday at various times of day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night) you can set your watch to them. I live near (30 minutes) away from LRAFB. Interestingly enough too (this happened a couple of weeks ago) I saw a medivac blackhawk orbit an area approximately 200 yards away from house as well. For 30-50 seconds they flew in a tight circle and then headed off to the north. The women in my town aren't that freaking hot. The aircraft altitudes (in case you're wondering) for both sightings, was less than 500 feet. It's probably no big deal, but it's not everyday I see something like that in my area. I was lucky to see a lot of aircraft fly over my house. When I was younger I thought a flight of cobras (4) was going to blow our house up. I just finished watching an hour long documentary of them, and saw all the stuff they were blowing up. Every time you saw one it's shooting something. So figured they were coming for me! lol. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. Another time I heard a loud roar and when I ran outside to see what it was two F-14s flew right over our house. I remember seeing a very long line of Huey's flying over too. It seemed like it never stopped. (that was a year or two prior to the F-14s) Chinooks woke up from a nap once, shook everything in house too. Sorry for rambling. The blackhawks for some reason have me wondering. There aren't any airshows going on as far as I can tell either. So it normal for military aircraft to fly on the weekend? (Peace-ish time?)

Reporter: Mr. President what is your response to the Kim Jong Un? President: We're not going to take it. No! We ain't goin' to take it. We're not going to take it anymore! I'll see myself out.

For some reason I'm wanting Conan O'Brien to be in this ...

Well this is worse I still say that little boy has a big head. This even worse than that. He probably executes people for doing the dance but then in his own house you hear nothing but the bass of that thumping throughout the place. As he's working ways of trolling President Trump with rocket test.

Yeah when I hear (or read) Armada I envision hundreds of vessels moving toward a target....but that's just me.

And a basket of fries.

What the hell did I miss? ... My news is talking about trying to kill death row inmates in a rapid manner. Something with some kind of drug not being humane enough. Mental stress on officers from killing so many so fast. Edit: Just read it. Steve Stephans. You know. That whole incident doesn't make any freaking sense at all. It's like ... why? Doing a crime is dumb anyway (for the most part). Usually you try to ... avoid anything that will tie directly to you. Filming yourself while doing it ... that's worse than when a rapper snitches on himself in his rap album.

So I just found this video ... well take a look. I wouldn't do it. Because something tells me it just wouldn't end well.... in the long run. It is hilarious because the senior officers are probably thinking "Enjoy it while you can little cadet."

I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. Apologies. I really thought you were a high ranking officer. Apologies.

Welcome back!

Hey it's me with my Dunce cap on. So be warned. I have a question about modding SF2... Can the SF2 series have scripts edited? Like I said. I'm wearing my dunce cap, but at the same, if it can be done. Then I'll reach out to a programmer I know and we'll see what he can do. Thank you for reading my silly question.

I'm trying to get my yard looking nice this year. I mean landscaping the flower bed, getting the weeds out. So far so good. Where this a little bastard tunneling all over the place. Little punk has mounds of dirt all in the yard big, deep holes. I covered the holes back up, flattened tunnels, etc. He opened them up and re dug them. Okay fair enough. So I put moth balls down the holes and then covered them back up. He dug new tunnels and opened even more vents. So I'm going to get some spectercide and dust my lawn with that stuff. Let it kill the grubs. Then I'm going to take what is left and pour it down his holes to prevent wasps and yellow jackets from moving in. Going to add more moth balls just in case a copper head wants to move into there as well. That's my battle plan so far. If you have any suggestions or corrections let me know. I am also considering a way to execute what I like to call the "Caddyshack Method" For the bright side of things. I saw a painted bunting fly over my house. I'm hoping it will visit my feeders again this year.

Well I shut mole activity down in one sector of my yard. I'm gong to see what the activity is else where.

I was wondering what you'd think about it. ... Just wondering again: are you a Colonel? General? I just remember a long time you mentioned how some sergeants better be at parade rest when talking to you.

Yes this. Sure thing. I'll answer both questions. I was wondering if scripts can be accessed so the engine can be "tricked" to do things it wouldn't normally do. Or do things it wouldn't normally do but within the confines of the engine. My hopes is that doing so can open opportunities for non-fighter aircraft missions. Such as support roles with the C-130. Or carpet bombing runs with a B-52. I noticed how an older flight sim worked with the player aircraft...the AI mimicked your actions. If you opened your bomb doors the other planes would open their bomb doors. When you dropped your bombs, the other planes dropped their bombs too. Or for a support role, when you want to deploy troops to a combat zone. So when you're flying a C-130 and open the bomb doors (the cargo door) the AI will follow suit, and when you deploy your paratroopers (bombs) the game will deploy theirs as well. So the engine sees bomb doors being opened and weapons being deployed, but what we see is a D-Day style air drop. I'm also wondering if scripting can allow for certain functions like launching missions from an FOB to work (if you're using helicopters) do short range troop transport/deployment. Support Missions (again C-130 ... I live near the world's largest C-130 base so I have a soft for them). If scripting can be done then you can drop supplies into an area, or transport VIPs, troops, and equipment to another friendly base. And it count as a successful mission. So for example (with scripting and fooling the engine). It uses the structure of a recon mission. Reach this waypoint, mission complete. With some scripting. That waypoint can be a friendly base, you arrive you, park in a designated area for so many seconds/minutes, objective is complete and you can either end your mission there at the friendly base or fly back home. You can have rescue missions. Fly to an area land at the target point. Wait a few seconds/minutes, passenger collected fly back home... mission complete. So that's what I'm wondering. If the triggers or scripts can be edited then we can really open up some things with SF2. There are a lot of great mods out there which deal with support roles. But the game is designed for fighter planes. Not cargo, or transport, or AWACS. If scripts and triggers can be edited then maybe there can be some more fun to be had.

Oh an update on my situation. I decided to go with the MacArthur method and starve the enemy. I covered my yard with grub killing granules. Expecting rain to come down, pound the stuff into the dirt and kill the moles food source.

I don't understand. Why sink a ship with such great history? Why not make it a museum like the Battleship Missouri?

Last night they decided to roll out some beeg freaking upgrade ... (I have no choice as my system with stank Windows 10.) M$ in deed. The sorry bastards.

I've just finished my third watch of Hidden Figures a movie that, in a nutshell is like Apollo 13+Tuskegee Airmen+ A League of Their Own. The story focuses on the challenges the Space Program in early 60s faced during the Space Race. It also shed light on three black women whom made significant contributions to the success of the program. It's not a political statement in my opinion but a well written, edge of the seat, movie that I've watched every night for the last 3 nights start to finish. I really love this movie. And I'm wondering what your thoughts are about it.

Well here's my Caddyshack option. I'm talking to the owner of the company. He's saying there may a talliwacker version of this. Take cafe of ISIS you know.... just kidding. Seriously this dude is awesome. By the way this product is made in America. In the heart of Idaho.

Out of curiosity. What is a pork test? Is that like seeing how well you fry up the bacon? (just fried a half a pack of center cut myself this morning) Or is that going to a gas station and ordering biscuits with sausage gravy and then having them but some bacon on top of that? (that some good stuff too) Or is that recording neurological activity of one's brain at the sight of bacon? Or would that be watching how a rack of fall-off-the-bone ribs is devoured and how much BBQ sauce is all over the place? (sweet potato pie with that please ... two slices) Or is that seeing how patient you are while standing behind the person, who is a first time customer, that is trying to figure out what to order, from your cousin, T-Bone? (if you want a pulled pork sandwich you go to him. It takes an act of God and then some to get him to fire the grill up.)

You know that right now Jehovah's Witness are facing a ban in Russia? The Russian Ministry of Justice is labeling them an extremist faction and demanding they be liquidated. It has even been reported it would be a crime for a Jehovah's Witness to even pray in Russia. The Witnesses have launched worldwide campaign and congregations from all over the world were asked to send letters to the officials (prior to the hearing) in their own language. That must've been interesting to see.. millions of letters written in different languages respectfully protesting their spiritual brother's and sister's right to freedom of religion. The court is recess until this Wednesday. I mean I know you were being funny. But I thought you might find that interesting. :slow applause: ... am I the only one clapping? Seriously. Nicely said. Very nicely said. All of it. But what I underlined needs to be a quote of the day or something.

As most of you know I got interested in helping out a local charity. They're coming out with a program and I remade one of their videos for them. They seemed to like it but I'm wondering what I could have done differently. I'm using the free version of Lightworks as I'm too broke to buy the full version .. for now. What did I do right/wrong what needs work .. what doesn't etc. Thank you in advance for your time and review.

Good job!
