Yesterday... @Anthohcl1 asked if the Ironchad had a VLS (Vertical Launch system) for missiles , yes it looks like it does and I think I know which missles! They are on Display at Defense con in the main hall, they are the HT-117 Size 5 Talon Weapon Systems Missles.

I hate to break it to people my age, but in 30 years your adult kids are going to look at your Funko Pops, Labubus, action figures, and Warhammer 40K collections the same way we look at boomer ceramic angel collections.
That shit is going straight to the thrift store when you die.
Green leaves don't always mean a healthy tree. Woodpeckers found grubs in this limb over my house, meaning it’s already dying. A lot of people miss life's early warnings. I’m dealing with it now before it deals with me.
@Killabarbiexo I understand your pain unfortunately, I just lost my mother a little over a month ago to pancreatic cancer, hardest part about this is we keep finding little notes to help us thru this process from her for example she was backing up her phone to a USB and we found it in the couch
Raised mechanic, went to school for automotive, grown into HVAC, brought back into mechanics. Receives ac problem on a vehicle, finds problem, Veteran tech of 30 years asks what's wrong. I explain using ac terminologies. Veteran glosses over and goes and i quote "vroom"
