  1. Yeah! You know lou is in charge!
  2. The last viscous mass murder that occurred in Levittown that I am aware of involved two homes, both within 5 minute walk from my house in Levittown. An Amber type alert went out to cell phones saying stay home lock the doors. Cops and sirens were all over the place. That was March of this year. My office had me provide assistance to the Middletown PD one time, back before I retired. Can't remember what that was about though.
  3. Watch it budd! I never point at the microwave. It's rude! 🤪
  4. French might work in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam with the older people. From my days in the Army during the Vietnam war and intercepting communications between the governments or militaries, they used French as the lingua franca between them.
  5. Years ago, I used to get strange looks from Thais in Bangkok when I spoke my limited Thai with them. Later in the U.S. of A. a Thai woman told me that it was because I was speaking Bangkok Thai with an Issan accent. Sort of confirmed by another Thai asking me where I learned Thai, also because she said I spoke it with an Issan accent. Speaking of accents. I used to work in a government call center. One day I worked a call from a young lady that was a political refugee from Vietnam. Her English had both a Vietnamese and southern drawl accent. It is the first time I can recall hearing two different accents at the same time.
  6. Do you operate sideband, morse, data? I have a Novice license from the U.S. of A. but I'm not active. When I was on active duty with Army I worked HFDF locating transmitters. I was trained to use radio morse for comms. Had almost 10 years with National Guard and Reserve with about 8 years in signal platoons ..
  7. I used to watch it on )American) Public Broadcasting System (PBS) on TV. One time it was just once a week, another time it was at 8 PM every night. I think it was a weekly TV series show in Great Britain and being a SciFi fan I liked it, it having British humor. The characters were supposedly on a space ship traveling (forever it seemed) through space, if I recall correctly. If you like science fiction then you might like it.
  8. And now, I am curious about what you are going to do with 100 meters of 1.5 mm wire. Oh! Antenna! I am guessing a loop antenna of some sort. For AM radio??
  9. People too can develop pavlovian responses. I know someone else knows this. Just thought I would throw this out.
  10. What Army were you in? I enlisted in the U.S. of A. Army in July 1969. My advanced training was at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. My pay after deductions was about $70.00. I learned that I could hitchhike into Boston Friday afternoon and work for 16 hours on the weekend and earned about $120.00 a month. The good old days! 🤪
  11. I don't look suspicious! Old! Ugly! Beyond help! But not suspicious!
  12. A family of Nigerians that live a few houses away from mine in South East Pennsylvania. Nice family, his kids play with my grandkids. Has a job and earns his money. His kids goes to the same Catholic school as my grandkids. I can't say the same about the Nigerians that made an international telephone call to my house phone one time, trying to scam me out of something. Don't know what. They just kept repeating, you owe us ............ (unintelligible word).
  13. I agree with riclag. I receive up to 15 emails a day from the democrat marxist party (got on their mailing list when obama was president). Everything the woman in the video says is almost word for word in those emails from the democrat marxist party!
  14. Police said they raided the bridge club after its anti-corruption centre received a tip-off. The members had broken a 1935 law, the Playing Cards Act, which prohibits individuals from possessing more than 120 playing cards, Pattaya One said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35491852#:~:text=It is illegal for individuals to possess more,Australian citizens%2C were arrested during the anti-gambling raid.
  15. Not far from New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, where I own a house, homes over 60 years old are selling for almost $400,000.00. Have it remodeled or rebuilt and it sells for between $500,000.00 and $600,000.00. I'm wondering when the bubble will pop and leave people with a mortgage of $500,000.00 for a house that has a new market value of $250,000.00!
  16. I read someplace that there are pictures going around showing Trumps ear without a bullet wound. Those pictures are alleged to be from 2 years ago. Perhaps these are the pictures I read about.
  17. I will disagree with you on the bullet "does not keep making noise until it hits something". The 5.56 travels at a supersonic speed for several hundred yards, I forget how far. The shock wave (what ever you wish to call it) the supersonic bullet creates will make a cracking sound when it passes an object along its path. I have personally heard multiple cracks as a 5.56mm round passed multiple trees in a forest. I have also heard the supersonic crack of 5.56mm rounds as they passed by me when I was shot at in Vietnam then heard the sound of the rifle being fired afterwards!! This also applies to 7.62mm rounds that also travel at supersonic speed. Having pulled targets during competition, being protected by earthen berms, and about 8 to 10 feet below targets, I have heard the supersonic crack as rounds pass over out to 600 yards from the muzzle of the rifles that fired them.
  18. How could they get lost with that bright light shining into the woods? Never mind .. I will leave quietly!
  19. He was looking for a visa stamp in my passport. Like the visa stamps Ethiopians need.
  20. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 48 seconds  
  21. I was asked that question at the gate, in Addis Ababa, enroute to Thailand on Ethiopian Airlines, from the U.S. of A. Do you have a visa for Thailand. I started to say no, then the other gate keeper said, Americans don't need visa.
  22. That would make the extreme right, so far right, that they would be on the left! 😆
  23. Apparently so did some AI software, claiming that the attempted assassination of Trump was fictional and not real, comparing it to kamala harris's campaign for president, saying her campaign was real.
