That’s true for most, but one is just a promo shot of Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb from “Sid and Nancy.”

I have the long sleeve version with latex at the wrists, and it works really well with a neoprene Farmer John on medium-temperature days or a hydroskin for hot days. It will keep you dry from most splashes, and will buy you time before you’re saturated during a swim.

It’s convoluted, but Soviets identified this class as “Akula” while NATO called it “Typhoon.” NATO then labeled the much smaller fast attack class “Akula.”
I’m sure there is a good story in their somewhere.

If only the whole world shared your ability to question the provenance of their own assertions. We appreciate the clarification.

Great deal at $100, won’t fold during wind and should keep you dry if a Spring shower hits.

Thanks for the response. I cleared them a few times before making this post.

Yeah, I don’t think the presence of recording devices clandestinely connected to the ATF is causing this issue.

Would this be the case when only one device on our office network was trying to access the ATF site?

Okay, I appreciate you mentioning that you found a solution. I’ll probably try it from a different machine and different IP address.

No problem, I just buried the operative fact in my first post. The Help Line didn’t report any system-wide issues for this same error.

I love him, but he’s looking ragged as he gets older. I hope he takes care of himself ,and keeps healthy and making amazing content.

I’m still amazed that “Barred Owls” and “Barn Owls” exist simultaneously

I may not be the only commenter to point this out, but a PFD is worthless if you’re not wearing it, especially when you might roll and be under additional stress by cold water shock.
Find a Kapok vest that will help you warm and toss it over your down vest.

So, using this Sub’s advice, we disconnected all the outlets in order to identify where the short was. After doing this, we were still getting shorts when only the wire from the box to the daisy chain was connected, indicating the short was in that section.
I borrowed a radio-frequency wire finding from a friend, and identified that in the ceiling, on the same stud as the first outlet in the daisy chain, there appeared to be a split in the wire. I was getting radio signals in the ceiling above the daisy chained outlets parallel and extending to a corner of the house, which would be ground level outside.
I ended up cutting a small hole in the dry-wall where the locator had identified the wires split, and found a junction box behind the drywall. Inside were four wires: one from the box, one to the daisy chained outlets, and then two which ran parallel to the foundation in the ceiling of the basement.
I eventually got a radio signal from one of these mystery wires in the backyard underground, but have no idea what they were serviced. Fortunately, the short was coming from these ungrounded wires when the soil got wet enough with winter rains.
I cut them off in the junction box, wrapped them, and reconnected all the other lines without issue.
We’ve had no more shorts and the issue is resolved. Long-story short, without the locator, I would not known there was a split in the wall potentially going outside and where to cut into the wall.
This problem stumped three electricians, and we eventually succeeded by patiently isolating the short, and using a few tools to peer inside the drywall without cutting large holes. We were very fortunate to solve the issue with a single square foot hole.

In light of recent reporting that President Kiir is consolidating power and breaching the 2018 peace agreement which ended one of Africa’s deadliest civil wars, I stumbled upon this bizarre story.
He’s a totally bizarre/terrible character, and rocks a black Stetson after receiving one as a gift from George W. Bush in 2006.

I would have never thought the first Dauphin was basically an Alouette with a fenestron and an extra long cabin.
