Walk around video of my 1951 Ford purchased new by my WW2 vet grandfather. He and I did the first part of the restoration together, the best of times.

@TheLaurenChen @PoliticalStacy There are still plenty of honesty people in the world!

[GE @8flat]

@LoufactsIGB Are you honestly this retarded? It's not bullying to ask someone 15 times to leave their team's tent.

[GE @8flat]

@Bellamy_Saluter @mtracey Lol so the only way to settle this is find a poll

[GE @8flat]

@FenixAmmoHR Even more to your point, and I hope this comes up in the trial, people have stated that at that specific event and previous events they had incidents of theft under unattended tents. Further explaining the victim's behavior towards the thug.

unreal....

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

@Bellamy_Saluter @mtracey Fascinating behavior, do you think all laws you disagree with are just completely opposed by the majority of people? And the ones you do agree with are generally proponents of it?

[GE @8flat]

@Bellamy_Saluter @mtracey Impressive mental gymnastics. Carry on.

@GeraldG42 @lrocket @MollySOShea @elonmusk I don't know if it's stupid necessarily... but may look better on paper than in practice. Hard to swap failed GPUs in space lol

@Careerflex True. My 16yo boy is entering that phase, lifts everyday, hopefully old man strength prevails haha

In Playa del Rey, my home for a decade and a half, a boomer guy says to me, “I’m so glad Playa is shifting from a tiny Republican beach enclave to people who have some sense.” Of course, he assumed I’m a Dem cause, gosh golly, she’s a brown girl. I smiled and said, “Do you like the extra needles on the beach or is it the poop?”

The shock in the eyes of a man whose father came to San Diego to work on planes in WWII, only to become an insufferable ding dong… 🤪

Praying for the city of angels and @spencerpratt 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@tuuu28283 Cool building!

[GE @8flat]

@GravityPimp Love orange, built this big block for my 56 chevy

[GE @8flat]

@lrocket @MollySOShea @elonmusk Love it from a cooling perspective, and getting DCs off our already taxed grid....but for a tiny 10mW data center you'd need a solar array 50,000sq meter in size w/30% efficient pnls. Plus a boatload of batteries for eclipse. Feasible?

[GE @8flat]

@TheBrancaShow @nmlinguaphile I'd like to report a murder hahaha

This banger is worth a follow

[Andrew Zywiec, M.D. @AndrewZywiecMD]

There are people who will yell at you for saying the word retard. Because it is harmful to mentally retarded people. It hurts feelings.

Those same people will look you dead in the eye and tell you killing a baby in the womb because they are mentally retarded is compassionate.

That's absolutely retarded.

[GE @8flat]

@kylegersper So were there no reasons/justificstions i.e. the city treating him extremely unfairly as he alleged? Truly curious.

[GE @8flat]

@Bellamy_Saluter @mtracey Lol you're doing great kid, cling to that 16% that haven't come around yet:
