A couple of years, I'd reckon.

I took my family to the Cheerwine fest in Salisbury last year. It was a lot of fun, and I tried some very "interesting" food and drink items.

Generally, no.

Stick some poor bastards in the hull and make it clear that failure is not an option. If you trust reporting on crews that get caught, they range from blackmailed fisherman to actual employees of whatever cartel is running the shipment.

These narco-subs themselves range from speedboats converted into semi-submersible boats to actual mini-subs designed and built for task.

The best case scenario for the crew in an emergency or after being found is scuttling the boat, hopping off, and having the coast guard pick them up. If there is no evidence, the Navy or CG didn't know about the shipment beforehand, and everyone keeps their mouths shut, the crew are just shipwrecked sailors in the eyes of the law. That doesn't mean they can't get charged with other things, but they can avoid drug trafficking charges.

Sub is also a stretch. They are just boats that sit very low in the water. They can't actually fully submerge.

Bah, Any boat can fully submerge if you try hard enough. It's getting the boat floating again that's the tricky part.

A bit of an odd request but I figured this thread might be my best chance to find what I am looking for.

I am wiring a short story and I want to reference a specific old tv that I used to have when I was a kid in the 80s and need some details or reference pictures.

It was a 12-16inch color tv that I am 90% sure was Zenith brand. If it wasn't Zenith, I am sure that it was a brand that doesn't exist any more and I am almost positive it was a US manufactured TV. It was a "portable" TV, more of a luggable. It had a handle built in to the housing. It was housed in a white plastic and it had separate knobs for VHF and UHF on the front. It had fine tuning knobs set inside of the channel knobs It didn't have a coax input, just the 75ohm screw terminals.

Anyone know what this TV was or know of one that was similar?

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Went to a local thrift/salvage store recently, and there were some neat stuff in their electronics area (didn't buy anything because I realized I REALLY need to clean/organize/throw out if need be a lot of stuff I have already to avoid a slide into hoarder territory..)

One of these power stations that sat under the 15" CRT monitor of every family computer in the 90s:


What appeared to be a Disney version of Hit Clips:


There were literally DOZENS of these. Bizarre.

At least they used regular SD cards and it SEEMS like it would work as a generic MP3 player?

And then this fellow. The CADILLAC of VCRs...I imagine:

Does that little but on the right flip down for some more buttons? You bet your rear end it does!

Are there even MOREW buttons and dials hidden under a cover on top? BOY, you don't even KNOW!

It even still has that little white thingy to turn those dials!

But, sadly, as you can see by the sticker, it seems to be broken.

Just the fact that the cover over those buttons is not just there, but apparently in perfect shape, is a wonder of nature.
