  • Paul Harrell (RIP) for guns. His presentation style was a masterclass on how to convey information in a unbiased manner. Anyone who teaches anything to anyone should take notes.

    He was entertaining without trying to be entertaining. If that makes sense? The man was demonstrating and testing hypotheses without giving two shits about likes and subscribes. Loved his dry humor, sometimes caught me off guard. “Wait! Did he really just say that?!”










  • Friend of mine had to divorce her husband when he came home from Iraq. Violent as hell in his sleep, doesn’t remember a thing. And then there were all the other PTSD things.

    Seems a jihadi ambushed him with a machete. Next thing he remembered was his superior officer, and a few other dudes, pulling him off the mutilated corpse. Took some doing to identify the remains, as in, not sure of the nationality, or gender.

    I’ve had “PTSD light”, no use telling the stories involving robbers and bears, but I shudder to think what the real thing is like.

    What do you do? Fuck I know. It does fade over the years. Many, many years.
