    It's originally posted somewhere on http://imgur.com/ . I found it sub-posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/ which is where I just found this photo of an Osprey with the propeller tips lit up by hitting grains of sand,


    [​IMG]


    which led to the photo of the Chinook which is labeled "Same **** different chopper Sand around the Chinook rotors."

    Random picture I took 3 hours ago a stone throw away from my apartment.
    Its amassing the friendliness and smiles they all have while doing their work.
    Picture shows how they make their simple barges and the tons of ousters harvested each day.

    I just brought a motor bike and tested several battery ones first and thought this one I took a random picture of below was cool and cost $1200 USD or if asked for discount much less.
    I end up buying a quality petrol 125cc scooter that came with helmet, burglar alarm and two locks for the wheels that cost in total $450 USD.
    Its comfortable to ride, speeds at 100 km no worries.

    And also no problem to move the whole family including the pets on it, and to provide for all business transportation needs . . . . :rolleyes:

    P.S.

    The second picture is actually moving four adults plus four children, so I guess that's two families, which proves there's even room for friends, there's more via the link . . . :eek:

    It turned out this is a boat related random picture, it's the shipyard worker August Landmesser . . .

    The above picture was taken on 13 June 1936 during a large gathering of workers at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg for the launching of the navy training ship Horst Wessel, which became the USCGC Eagle after the war, the below launch picture was taken on the same day and place as the above picture.

    It is a fine example of German workmanship and U.S. Coast Guard maintenance. It was a pleasure for me to visit.

    Conformist are people that eat animal flesh with absolutely no regard, conscience or feelings to living earthlings.
    I cannot understand why this is so as the man in the shipping dockyards can not understand why they kill humans with absolutely no regard, conscience or feelings to living earthlings.

    I like myself just fine and had very nice pork sausages for dinner tonight.

    Did August Landmesser just not understand the National Socialists (I think he did)? The rest of the world understood too... and put a stop to them.
    Or, are you just labeling human carnivores as Nazis? (Kind of extreme) Diversity is the key, extremism and extremists are the problem. "All things in moderation".

    Berke Breathed, the guy behind Bloom County, was decades ahead of his time:

    At his very best, Berk Breathed was an equal opportunity offender.
    An very even handed about it.

    His early work was remarkable.
    It degenerated when he decided or was told to be more PC.
    I've missed his original work for about 30 years.

    A security guard at hotel restaurant took a random picture for me this afternoon with the brand new 125cc scooter I brought the other day for $450 USD from a bike dealer shop that came with burglar alarm, two padlocks for wheels, and a helmet.
    All the dealers say no need to worry about registration or no worries not to have a bike license which is true as I noticed 50% of the city's bikes are not registered and the fishing village I live, 90% motor bikes on the road are not registered.
    95% do not ware bike helmets like they are meant to by law.
    An example of going through a red light fine is 200 RMB = $33 USD, but rarely a fine is given.
    How ever I will register mine just in case as it does not cost much and ware a bike helmet just in case I crash.
    The rules and regulations in China are very very relaxed and the police are far and few apart who worry about real crime, not like NZ or AU police that are practically on ever corner in their expensive tax paid vehicles on high wages booking as many people that cannot afford fines as they can "Police state"
