Not your typical "Have it your way, the customer is always right, have a nice day" kind of marketing bullshit. Either the owner/operator is a serious sociopath, or this is reverse/perverse marketing of the finest kind, designed to appeal to a particular (SigForumesque) customer. Simple, straightforward, no bullshit taken or given. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Do we really believe someone has a business like that selling one item—grilled cheese sandwiches—and for $1.00? If it is true, then I would wish him all the good fortune possible. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Raw cost of goods: under $.30/ea. Gross margin: +70%. If there's a market with sufficient volume, I'd do that all day long.

On the building behind the lower trailer there's a partial sign that I assume says "trailers." These trailers both appear brand spanking new, so they're probably just an advertisement for a business that sells trailers, or specifically, food trailers. Maybe? ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I had a friend that used to take his family to some of the bigger music festivals and pay for the whole thing by spending whatever time they weren’t seeing the acts they really wanted to see by making and selling dollar grilled cheese sandwiches. As Artie notes, the profit margin can be insane, and if you set up in a good location, like, say at a music festival with all kinds of inebriated folk milling about, you can make good money. Nobody cares that it’s the cheapest white bread and American cheese you could find. They got a grilled cheese sandwich for a buck. They leave happy and feeling like they got the best deal ever and you doubled your money at worst. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

That’s a APDS round for a tank’s main gun. It is a spike that discards the blue sabot when it leaves the barrel...at extreme speed. It will kill anything it hits and is designed to kill other armored tanks.... "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

So how does it make a grid square disappear? | |||

Yes. Almost as precise and selective as a sniper's bullet, and not intended or suitable for area damage. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans …. Together we have resisted the trap of appeasement, cynicism, and isolation that gives temptation to tyrants.” — George H. W. Bush | |||

It doesn't. It's a kinetic energy projectile that punches through armor without explosives. The most famous would be the depleted uranium rounds from our Abrams tanks that punched through T-55 and T-72 tanks in Desert Storm.

A better photo would have been of a high explosive round. Sabot rounds like that kill via kinetic energy. I don't think they even explode. It's a cool concept but I know too much to really enjoy it. A better photo still would have been 155mm rounds for a Paladin self propelled artillery gun. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

It’s Tom hardy from his show, Taboo....takes place during the reign of the East India Company, he returns from Africa when his dad dies, and he is bequeathed the family business. Great outfits, great historical firearms and the like He plays a really good bad guy... He was in Peaky Blinders as Alfie Solomon’s. Also played Bane in one of the Batman movies.
