    Funny Pix & Video Thread

    Interestingly, I was in the LCBO yesterday and Busch Lite and Miller Draft were still on the shelves; I guess the bane doesn't apply if its brewed under license here in Canada.

    Gene Hackman 1930 - 2025

    Possibly. I would have thought that they would staff that would come in to cook meals, maintenance, cut grass, etc, but apparently. Horrible way for Hackman to go. Sad.

    Gene Hackman 1930 - 2025

    The latest from Raw Story. Apparently, the wife passed away from a rare Hantavirus infection and Hackman suffering from Alzheimer's a week later. https://www.rawstory.com/gene-hackman-2671288959/?utm_source=superhead#comments_section_start

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Lord Love a Duck!! Some of the models are museum pieces! One piece (Beretta 1918/30) was first produced in 1918, over a hundred years ago. A couple other firearms are of WW II vintage. I guess not really surprising as they've banned everything else.

    Replacing the Subs

    Understood. But we named three ships of the Halifax class after cities (Regina, Calgary and Winnipeg) that are all landlocked. So, what not naming a sub after a land battle?

    Replacing the Subs

    Or Kapyong? It also has a Canadian and South Korean connection. Edit: To add context.

    Replacing the Subs

    Noah has an interesting email out that speculates that a decision on the CPSP may be coming quicker than we think. Apparently a new amendment (see attached) to the original RFI came out yesterday stating that has Canada completed its review and has cancelled any one-on-one meetings that were...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    Further to my last: The IDF website has a webpage that looks the events that happened on Oct 07 2023 and it appears that they will look at each individual location in Israel that was attacked by Hamas. So far they only have details on one location which is indicated in Green on the IDF map...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    The IDF has finally released its report into what happened on Oct 07. I haven't been able to find the actual report but the Times of Israel has a summary: https://www.timesofisrael.com/before-oct-7-idf-probe-shows-hamas-duped-israel-into-thinking-it-did-not-pose-a-major-threat/

    Another good indicator is to check which Congressional District the weapons will be built in.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    According to the information Noah posted the requirement for the 155mm SP guns is that it can reach speeds up to 80kph. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, precludes a tracked system. Here is link to all the documentation (from Noah's Newsletter) on the RFI...
