Another example of keeping your guns and not trusting the gov't Athens Tn. O hey, how about when we told the Amercian Indians, give us your guns we will take care of you. Yea how did that work out for them.
Those PTO's are no joke. Back in the 60's my grandma got caught in one and it messed up her back. She was in the hospital for 6 months. She made a full recovery and went on to have 7 more kids lol. 14 total. She's still alive at 93, and always walked with a slight limp afterward. Despite a big farming family, that's been the only major injury anyone has suffered.
Too bad his partisanship and name-calling. Do hope he's in a process of waking up and making himself and his thinking more independent from his "teams".
Manufacturers aren't all choosing planned obselesencez they just use cheaper materials over time due to consumer price sensitivity and inflation. Sales dramatically drop when prices go up, so companies find all the ways they can to keep it the same, this means the "same thing" gets a little bit enshittified.
The light bulbs were always replaceable, and the "long life bulbs" output less light, and use more power per unit of light, you could say this is, but the power companies gave them out for free, and the slightly shorter life bulbs _were_ better because of color rendering index and power efficiency. This also reduced some coal emissions over time.
The biggest disappointment in my life. I generally like controversial theories, while being also interested in religions, ancient history, psychedelics and languages. I was sure this is a perfect book to fit all of that interests. And if you keep your mind open (what I surely did) you can see that about 20% of the book content is indeed interesting. Unfortunately the remaining 80% is an absolutely delusional, schizophrenic bullcrap. The author will give you the most unconvincing etymology of a word (usually showing that some ancient greek word actually come from Sumer and means penis or vagina) and give you absolutely no real argument for that. You are just supposed to believe because idk 2 letters are matching (the whole word will be not similar at all). I read almost half of the book and I don't know if I will finish that but it feels like a total waste of time.
I've read everything I can lay my hands on regards the 2nzef Takrouna. Minqar Qaim. Tebaga gap. The capture of Takrouna was a deed for the ages. Breakout at Minqar Qaim, 28 punched the hole in the line for the kiwis to escape. It may have been curtains for everyone otherwise. Tebaga gap. The men from Ngati porou once holding it, renamed it hikurangi. Their sacred mountain. That was a declaration of intent. God bless you all
I was first introduced to "Johnny Got His Gun" in the form of the movie, on VHS tape. From there I found out it was a book and read it and loved the book. A few months ago I found out it was turned into a play and the play itself can be found on RU-vid. I've seen the play to see how it compares to the movie and it's pretty good for a play.
I was 14 when i watched these 3 movies. I cant stop crying then and want to buy Australian Kelpie. But they are very expensive. Now i have a german sheperd
Potential Spoilers Below: Just finished this movie and I didn't like it either. I'd seen Cold Fish awhile back which I remembered liking which was also based on a true story. It's not like the acting or special effects are bad and I don't know about the true story, but it does the trope I hate where almost everyone (all of the main characters definitely were) is a scumbag and as a result you don't really care about what's happening or fell scared. I felt sort of checked out near the end.
Well my father fought with the 20th Battalion, a South Island Pakeha Battalion. The 20th Battalion was the most highly decorated battalion in the British Empire with 3 VC’s and it suffered 397 KIA. The Māori Battalion did a great job indeed and yes were more ferocious and ruthless than their Pakeha cousins. The Māori Battalion attacked a German Field Hospital in the desert and death to the German wounded medics and doctors, Rommel was extremely angry about this action as were Kippenberger and Freyberg. Anyway the Pakeha were the people who served in the 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th…………….All Pakeha Battalions! And then we get the 28th Battalion. Here’s to the Pakeha battalions along with the great Māori Battalion! Now, every ANZAC day etc according to the media and its DEI policy we only hear about the 28th Battalion….1 Battalion out of 10……and that leaves out all the logistics mob!
My friend., firstly. The breakout at minqar Qaim saw the hospital incident. Our men have their own version. That a wounded man retrieved a firearm and wounded a kiwi. That's that. If not for their actions that night, the entire division may have been captured. I believe that was the operation that saw Charles Upham wounded and captured. I may be wrong. He lifted the morale of the 20th. No doubt. Why compare medals, when we all know it was very hard for Maori to gain acknowledgement. Manahi deserved a VC for the capture of Takrouna. Horrocks said it was the 'most magnificent feat of arms he witnessed in war" Charles Upham was well known for, when visited by dignitaries from UK he would take them to the RSA at Ngati porou. He acknowledged these men sir, why can't you
Excellent review and and even better explanation of a lot of what went on that was not covered by the movice. For instance, I had never heard about Dora Bloch. Thanks. BTW, love the edit, too.
I read the Sign and the Seal and thought it was a lot of pseudo this and that with a lot of fiction to make his ideas work but the dude is a fascinating and interesting writer. Just started Fingerprints just to enjoy this talented writer again and to touch base with my more gullible, younger self who used to want to believe in all that interesting BS like ley lines linked to stone/crop circles, UFOs and fantastical ancients who so far don't exist in the record. Thanks for the interesting video
What it doesn’t say here, his able bodied men fought a rear guard action back to allied lines with his German POWs, while being pursued by a reorganised enemy.
