Oh man. My first IED was very strange. We were driving on what we called route kill zone, and there was some traffic. And then we came to an overpass and seemingly everyone else took the off ramp. Came out the other side and just blammo. I saw the vehicle in front of me get pushed a lane over and then disappear into smoke and dust. I locked up the brakes so I wouldn't smash into them.
Turned out there was a sniper down the road and a can full of guys with RPGs on the bridge behind us. But we had no casualties or significant vehicle damage, so they apparently dipped. We hightailed it to a rally point that was literally 500 meters from where the attack happened. Front vehicle thought we were the ones that got hit.
I was scared when I was a 19 year old doing a patrol through Sadr City in 2003, while manning the .50 cal and having dozens of kids suddenly show up and throwing rocks at me. Did I waste them even though I would have been justified because it wasn't uncommon that patrols would go through markets and peopled start throwing produce and mix a grenade in?
No. Because I was well trained and realized that life is precious. And I was dealing with those rocks a lot longer than 1.6 seconds.
We order dominos kinda regularly. Check their coupons next time. I can tell you that I'll get a large 5 topping, stuffed cheesy bread and wings for that price or cheaper. And I'm your friendly neighbor to the west, not in a major or midsized area.
Pickle juice. Also, pickles.
Sauerkraut
I work outside doing physical labor, I maintain a giant jar of pickles at work and home. There is no better relief when I am feeling crampy after a hot hot day than a giant swig from the pickle jar.
You can recharge your new iPhone in the microwave.
Isn't it the most recent major color?
It's possible. I did a lot of drinking.
I was 18. I didn't really care about what companies were headquartered in which countries.
Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I've seen.
But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.
I keep a jar of pickle juice at work so I can keep cramp free on hot days. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Maybe they are in 6th grade?
Looks like a seventh grader with divorcing parents drew it.
I like clicking on ads for wish and aliexpress when I see something I have no idea what it is.
Man, if I find something I could describe as a "space trunk" you'd better believe I am not going anywhere near it, let alone using my mower to pull it out.
As a landscape professional, I can assure you that we will very often blow things into centralized areas to make it easier to bag/can up and haul off.
You are already getting the pan hot enough to sear, just leave it there a little while longer and it's cooked!
Heavy metal puked like 6 times, drank some water and cooled down some. Felt better about 5 minutes later, so I went out and finished my yard and did my neighbor's.
Feeling 100% fine now. Sometimes you just have to get the evil out.
It was a really early CD-Rom game, probably 1993ish. You started off in the stone ages using sticks and rocks, fighting off bad guys and solving puzzles, and you'd move through time using the weapons of that era. I don't think I would classify it as an educational game because outside of the weapons and settings, I don't remember much of it having any information.
I'm pretty sure it was the first video game I ever beat.
Edit: it was not a real time strategy game. It was third person perspective.
