Actually Von Braun developed his own liquid fueled rocked system independent of Goddard! He was accused of stealing his idea but the papers and research Goddard had published by that point did not contain enough info on his own personal designs to be copied. He did greatly inluence early american rocket development though.

So these gas masks (small box respirator or SBR) are absolutely awful to wear. First off, they don’t form a seal around the wearer’s face with the actual mask. That’s just heavy or treated canvas to reduce gas getting to your eyes. You breathe in filtered air through a snorkel mouthpiece directly connected to the filter via that hose, and exhale through a little check valve flap underneath. Oh and for your nose there’s a clip that pinches it shut so you only breathe through your mouth. Vision is terrible through the eye pieces and you’re supposed to be able to don the mask in seconds when there’s a gas alarm. Then they expect you to fight in a trench with a big long rifle with a bayonet at the end! (Source, I own a historical reproduction SBR)

None of the current lineup of The Ventures is original, kinda far from it at this point. And Pretenders only has Chrissie Hynde remaining at this point

And that bag cost tens of thousands of dollars to design!

Hey Stinkoman! Everyone says that you’re the guy, but I wanna be the guy too!

But when I’m at the club with my friends and I pull out the Pickett model N600-ES speed rule to calculate the tip, all the eyes are on me

But a pocket calculator doesn’t get you nearly enough street cred these days

Moves C index to 2 on the D scale Moves indicating line to 2 on the C scale Reads 4 on the D scale

Good thing 2+2 and 2*2 yield the same answer. Would have to bust out the addiator otherwise

Thanks Dr. Bees!

Can I introduce you to Blackwings? They write so well and the eraser is a little bigger. Is it a lot if hype? Yeah probably, but its also just a good pencil. It’s like the Rolls Royce of wood pencils
