Война во Вьетнаме стала одним из ключевых событий второй половины XX столетия и глубокой раной для американского общества. Убедиться в этом несложно: достаточно посмотреть на то, какое количество фильмов снято по ту сторону Атлантики об этой войне. При этом не каждый знает, что среди прочего война во Вьетнаме отметилась еще и одной из крупнейших воздушных столкновений со времен Второй мировой войны.

Зима не за горами, а значит, пора проверить окна на наличие щелей и сквозняков, ведь даже самое хорошее отопление не сможет качественно прогреть квартиру, если по ней будет «гулять» ветер. Novate.ru рассказывает, почему дует из окон, и предлагает варианты решения проблемы.

Наверняка каждый хотя бы раз слышал о том, что нельзя просто так взять и начать буксировку автомобиля с автоматической коробкой передач. Что же такого особенного в этом типе трансмиссии, что он не способен справляться с такой, казалось бы, тривиальной процедурой? Как несложно догадаться, причины носят чисто технический характер. Однако, как в таком случае быть и на все ли виды автоматических коробок передач распространяются те самые ограничения?

В Ла-Гуардиа аэропорте в Нью-Йорке утром в понедельник путешественники стали свидетелями неожиданного происшествия: с потолка упал енот, что повлекло за собой настоящую суету

Рим полон удивительных мест, и вы могли бы простить себя за то, что так и не покинули пределы города

Young, trim and cute Setting all reason on mute Forever twenty-one I thought she was the one. Yet lost in trauma Oh Mama! Slipped away Through my fingers one day.  Day she was lost My friend crucified on cancer’s cross Wheeled out on gurney entire Consigned to death and fire.  The keening widow Grief bubbling […]

The post The One That Got Away  appeared first on Waiter Rant.

Every tear wiped away, But not in Isreal Not in Gaza. Where’s your Messiah now?  Ukraine’s sunflowers weep, Unable to follow the sun Attrited by Third Rome’s janissaries, Iconostases rubbled By eyes in the sky weeping ruin.  Iron beasts, slain Litter desert, forest,  By isotopic arrows despoiled, Cancerous, ravenous, patient.  Empty hearths.   Children’s questions.  Abba?

The post Jerusalem Can Wait  appeared first on Waiter Rant.

Things you have to do  To your body stay true. Diet, exercise, apothecary Doctors, tests, insurance mandatory.  Youth ground away  A little more each day But forget counsel’s irredentist I still have to go to the dentist.  Ever since battles malignant Naked, poked – most indignant Chattering angst free floats  Whenever I spy a lab […]

The post Fighting Decay  appeared first on Waiter Rant.

Billowing menace, acrid scents  Old growth, saplings charring together  While out of sight, fawns distressed race And the owl’s perch succumbs.  Golden hordes breaching firebreaks  Rapine alight windswept, rapacious, desiccation stoked   Consuming canopies, no quarter given While rooted tributaries blazing course underfoot.  Slight deluges, drawn from placid lakes Lofted by fraught metaled battalions Plunge pityingly […]

The post Wildfires Of No Consequence  appeared first on Waiter Rant.

Well, after 15 years of using this new fangled "Twitter" thing for microblogging, that's enough of that. Back to normal ranting. (For the record, this is not a rant about twitter, it's about me and the internet over the last thirty... years... oh geeze, it's been that long?) When Twitter was just a new thing, i kinda liked the idea of using it for quick micro blogging (since i was such a slacker about writing rants) so i added two new twitter acc...

Ok, if you look at comic above [1604] you might notice that it has changed from what i posted back in July (you might need to refresh your browser (ctrl-F5 or ctrl-R) to see it). Why? Because i goofed up. [TL;dr: small retcon for this comic: have to transition into earlier in the next scene so Mugi and Yaku can talk *before* Miho wakes up. Now I can insert the three pages in progress of Mugi and Yaku talking about what happened last chapter.] In...

One thing ive found myself doing lately now that im sorta 'well fuck that twitter shit' is i am rambling on a LOT more when i type stuff. This can be viewed as a good or bad thing. Maybe for me it's not a bad thing. It's a bit like working in a 4 panel comic format. You can do a lot with a four panel setup, almost the first entire chapter of MT is all 4 panel. It has its own kinda pacing, setup, delivery, variables, etc. But there are things i can...

(note: this was actually a twitter thread that i wrote this morning... rather than copy paste and chunk this thing out to the other services... duh, post it as a rant and link it :) I've been hesitant to post anything like this, so i'll keep it vague. Lets face it, the last YEAR has been awful. About a year ago, Sarah started to feel sick and it wasn't long before we knew her cancer was back. It was a hard year, but she beat it and we got thru it....

I did as I said I would:  I watched “Supernatural,” and don’t regret it for a moment.  I then tuned in to watch the last half hour of Biden:  he seemed natural, relaxed, and sane. Then, in order to write this column, I sat down and watched the Trump town hall on Youtube.    I am producing this commentary

It may not be rain on your wedding day, but these cakes are still a little too ironic.

[grabbing microphone]

HIT IT!

 

It's like loving journalism

... but not kerning!

It's a "good job"

that needs some learning.

It's the winner's cake

that SHOULD be burning!

And who would have thought? It figures!

It's calling someone "dumb"

When you can't spell the word

It's trying to show you care

While giving a beautiful turd

Heh.

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Thanks to Tracey, Julie, Dorothy S., Tony W., & Stacey, who really DO think.

 *****

Hang on, you know what ELSE has delicious irony? A fully armed and operational battle station with an exposed exhaust port.
