orange juche posted:Oh I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the US who have these as well. Military equipment that has quietly gone missing from national guard stockpiles over the years most likely. During the 70's and 80's number of weapons disappeared and ended up in PIRA hands. Including some M60s, some M16s, some M14s, and six M82s. For a long time the QE2 was the ship of choice for Irish arms smuggling.

BIG HEADLINE posted:The Irish weren't nearly as well or ubiquitously armed as the US is. Sure, they had ~specialty~ items like plastique and RPGs, but nowhere near the guns and numbers. Pretty sure you could ratchet your numbers up by at least an order of magnitude. And cordless drill technology is much improved.

Hello, and thank you for bringing up terrible infrastructure. As someone living about 100 miles down stream from the Hanford Nuclear Production Site that is currently full of rusting plutonium in containers that are also rusting, please let me take a moment of your time to share my feelings with you. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

https://twitter.com/thejtlewis/status/1289996904802054150 Who the gently caress is this guy and why is he using a bunch of kids (including his brother) getting offed at Sandy Hook as his coattail ride to being in good graces with Donnie? This reminds me of the families of the Colgan crash who put all their faith in Chuck Schumer and banged the drum for changes in the airline industry which really had no effect on anything, but sounded good. pantslesswithwolves posted:And that smarmy little poo poo who got into a smirking standoff with an indigenous vet at the Mall last year. In an ideal world, his presence would be a fundraiser with tickets sold to win a chance to slap that smirk off his face. Do you get a discount for buying tickets to this in bulk? Asking for a friend.

BigDave posted:Ok that's kinda funny Apparently it had a lot of Irish crew. The Irish Mob would acquire the guns, and they'd be loaded on in NYC. Then unloaded in Southampton and smuggled to Belfast. During the 80's the FBI broke up the QE2 route and they switched to fishing trawlers.

CainFortea posted:Hello, and thank you for bringing up terrible infrastructure. I read how it was relatively late war when Hanford was built to produce plutonium but as so many workers had been drafted or were earning bank elsewhere they got those willing to work in the middle of nowhere. I’m sure some were ok, but local authorities would find bodies in dumpsters and tavern windows were designed to make it easy to toss tear gas inside. Also on the plus side: no meat rationing.

Greens might not make the ballot in Wisconsin: https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/1295884214609510401?s=19 What's amazing is that the reason is over signature paperwork being turned in with multiple addresses for the Green's VP candidate, which was apparently due to moving apartments - but instead of replying to the election commission and providing a date for the change of address, the Greens just... didn't respond. truly a competent political organization

Shim I have a very important post for you A box just turned up on my door:  I stared at it for a while trying to think who in NZ has my address, knows what I call him, and what it might be. I came up short, so I opened it.  You have got to be loving kidding. This box has been sitting somewhere in the USA for eight months and made its way back here? At roughly the same time as two NZ post workers tested positive for covid?   So at least it didn't get lost!! The jerky was looking surprisingly good for 8 months old, but i threw it out regardless. Get me your details - I guess the ones you gave me were no good - and ill do more jerky and send it to you.
