Just a phone camera. A little older. I keep the lens clean and take about a 1000 pictures and pick out the best few

On the other side of the spike wall in an inner moat. I presume the inner spikes help trap people and creates a kill zone. Also arranging spikes in an X pattern is simple to produce.

No, but it was a good suggestion. I had a whole cache of photos to sort through, and just happened to get to the armor before I saw the comment.

Focused.

I went to Pamela’s Diner and it was super underwhelming.

It was a little bit underwhelming. It was clear the lion’s share of money went the the U.S. Civil War displays, which were decent. From there onward the displays decreased in quality and size. It was obvious this was an overgrown Civil War museum that was trying to cover all eras. The display cards in Civil War exhibits were often lengthy and thorough, but by the modern era there was maybe a single sentence for most items.

The supposed modern displays were showing stuff from 2005 at the latest, and there were small mistakes or mistake-by-implication in the display cards.

I actually laughed when I noticed it in person.

I tried to go to the Andy Warhol museum as well todau, but there was some sort of sportball event happening which just devastated the parking situation.

The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

The entire experience was alright, though a bit underwhelming. The strength in the displays was their US Civil War content, which was understandably focused on highlighting Pennsylvania’s contributions.

After the Civil War, everything between then and modern conflicts all had much more compact displays comparatively. I’m currently sorting through photos. The lighting in the museum created a lot of reflections that made taking good photos a challenge.

This isn’t a link to an article.

I think when it first released in 2002 they would have taught two inches above the wound. High and tight for all purposes came later as the default trained procedure.

Oh, final thing: I am pretty sure this was the first online PC FPS that modelled that M203 projectiles must travel a certain distance before the explosive charge will detonate, so taking out someone with an M203 round to the face, non explosively, became a way to humiliate people, as you either had to be pretty skilled to do it , or your opponent had to have very poor situational awareness.

Oh wow, it is maybe a first. I remember doing that in Modern Warfare 2 quite a bit, but didn’t realize how much this game pre-dates it.

Thinkin’ 'bout them beans.

And?

There was a House hearing, and the USSS director resigned.

There were no good answers provided in the hearing. Complacency and sloppiness of procedure seem to be the baseline answer, but pinpointing names of who exactly on the ground failed is difficult for the public.

Something I have encountered with protective situations, and which I haven’t seen addressed anywhere regarding Trump is why the sightline to the buildings weren’t simply blocked.

It is impossible to secure every single location, but if there is a cluster of buildings, you park a semi-truck and trailer in the line of sight (or put up a green fence, or whatever) and then you have the much easier job of securing your blocking.

But I guess that’s a really in the weeds.
