If it's stainless steel then it's a different, you can't just beat on that thing like an old drum.

If it's rusting that badly, changes are it got too hot and hosed up the chromium in the steel. It does something with carbon and basically you permanently lose the rust inhibitor quality of it and can never get it back.

Well, actually that does make it easy because it's kind of hosed so do whatever you want to it.

Any kind of "derusting" of stainless steel I've ever done has been very, very mild from contact with other metals, and you can find a chemical compound to suit your needs. If it's pitted deep though, just get at it with whatever you got.

Unrelated to grillchat:

For you Android folks, if you currently have Cyanogenmod on your phone, you probably already heard that it's been discontinued. LineageOS picks up right where the CM devs left off and is essentially the same operating system. For the immediate future, they are also providing a way to migrate from CM to Lineage without having to wipe your phone. Unlike a lot of other "dirty" installs, this actually works, so get it while they're still putting out the migration-only builds.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

12 years May 31st.

I sometimes miss the chill times and shenanigans from the last 6 months after I wrecked my knee and medical eligibility saved me from being a noble for the next 12 years.

The poo poo you'd get away with because you gave no fucks, everyone knew you have no fucks, and you were untouchable because the battalion/garrison commander liked you and was cool with you giving no fucks. :unsmith:


On my very last day, my car was basically rolling 6 inches deeper due to all the misappropriated gear I was hauling out or had gifted from other companies. I was supposed to have turned in everything including my last set of fatigues, but went around post saying my goodbyes in full (adequately deficient) uniform. On the way to the gate, the battalion commander was waiting for me outside the front of his building.

:mil101: "Last day huh, Funlop?"
:downs: "Sir."
:mil101: "Ready for reality, huh?"
:downs: "Jawohl, Herr Oberstleutnant."
:mil101: *leans over, eyeballs my rear seats stacked to the roof with gear*: "Properly turned everything in and signed out?"
:downs: "Of course, Herr Oberstleutnant."
:mil101: "Excellent!"

oh yeah so Passengers?

It's not awful, which would've been interesting. No the problem with that movie (well one of a lot) is that it's not a sci-fi story at all, and what Passengers is is loving boring. Nothing interesting is ever looked at deeply beyond the peril of being awake on an ark ship knowing full well you're going to die on it. And even that is glossed over.

The movie shows some brief spark when Jennifer Lawrence is told straight up after a whole scene of "Don't tell her!" about the truth. There's a few scenes of maybe maybe maybe toying with the idea that yes what Chris Pratt did was horrifying and loving creepy but then that is all quickly handwaved away.

Don't watch this expecting anything but a boring rear end movie that takes zero chances to thrill or entertain. Moms will love it.

I know we all like to poo poo on the military because honestly it sucked and was retarded.....but the poo poo deployments I had, the guys I deployed with were the best people I've ever met and I miss them more than I can even describe. Combat makes you close, and losing friends just makes it grow even more. I got to see three of my close friends last summer for one buddy's wedding. I can't even describe to you how loving happy I was to see them again. I feel that way about practically my entire company that I deployed with. With the exception of my old platoon sergeant. He no joke deserves to loving die. He should have loving died. But....that's what I miss, the guys that I'm closer to than anyone else. I kind of miss some parts of the military in general, but I know my time has passed and there's too much bullshit to outweigh the few good things. It's the memories and the people that I miss, not the army. It's a big part of my depression , anxiety, anger and PTSD. All I want to do is hang out with my war buddies and drink some beer and shoot some guns and bullshit together and tell war stories and then when we're pretty hammered and open up we can let out all that pain and sadness to each other, because we trust each other more than anyone. That poo poo builds up inside, and I don't feel like anyone but them really understands what it feels like.

It sounds really loving hokey but time makes it better. I was a complete loving wreck of a person emotionally for two+ years after I got out, and didn't really "recover" to the point of being a mostly functional person until the last few years. I'm glad that I worked with vets at the school for four and a half years, because essentially that was my emotional decompression chamber that kinda equalized things over time.

It's really bad. It's on facebook, but still. These dudes were losing limbs next to each other 8 years ago and now they're cutting off all contact and calling each other traitors.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
Honestly it kind of sucks being a combat arms guy in a BDE that will likely never deploy, or at least not while I'm here. I get it that it's dumb to feel that way and that I could die or come back maimed or psychologically hosed up but still.

Out of my 5 OCS buddies that I went through BOLC and ARC with, I'm the only one that isn't either currently deployed or getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan.

But at least living out here in Washington is pretty sweet

I don't miss the Army and I don't miss the infantry as much as I miss my first platoon at Campbell.

There were like 20 of us that all came up in the army together that all got to the unit out of basic training within a few months of each other right before we deployed.

After deployment everyone started ETS/PCSing or getting chaptered for drugs and that killed morale pretty quick for a lot of people.

I thoroughly enjoyed being a team leader until the stupid army bullshit started catching up to me. Like how watching out for my dudes was a sure fire way to get myself in trouble in some situations.
