Depends on how big the target was. The British had the mad minute drill that sounds similar:

>The exercise formally known as "Practice number 22, Rapid Fire, The Musketry Regulations, Part I, 1909", required the rifleman to fire 15 rounds at a "Second Class Figure" target at 300 yd (270 m). The practice was described as; "Lying. Rifle to be loaded and 4 rounds in the magazine before the target appears. Loading to be from the pouch or bandolier by 5 rounds afterwards. One minute allowed".

I thought it also included usage of the word "[[cunt]]", which is generally considered to be at or near the strongest end of the swearing spectrum, but after trying to verify that, I was probably thinking of The Exorcist!

They are still building new sanctified druidic circles in England. There is one near my house.

I was 10 when my mom took my older sister and I to see Poltergeist. My mom was pretty strict about what we watched and I’m sure she saw the PG rating and thought it’d be alright. Yeah I told her I wanted to leave, probably after the clown.

Yes, but that's just typical political theater. If they really believed what they said, they wouldn't still be investing in wind and solar in West Texas. But they are.

They damn well killed that steak

>Oceans make a huge difference in temperatures.

The North Slope of Alaska is generally warmer and more mild than the Alaskan Interior, despite being hundreds of miles farther north. Because of how moderating the ocean is. I was there in winter, and even with the Arctic Ocean frozen over, the geothermal heat is still strong enough to moderate temperatures.

Throw in wind chill, and I could believe Chicago being colder than Antarctica at times. Alaska is similar. I've been there dead of winter and while it will be subzero, there is zero wind and thus all you really need is a heavy sweater and you're fine. Conversely, I've been in the Sierra Nevada when it's around 20 F, but the wind chill is miserable and you need tons of layers to overcome it.

The pop-culture Kennedy accent

Alaska is technically both the westernmost and easternmost state, as some of the Aleutian islands would cross the Int'l Date Line. However the line was adjusted to account for this, so it's not practically true.

Lmao I grew up near there and never knew this

I guess people just assume Canada = the north. Technically true but 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the US border, and south of the 50th parallel.

Druids temple brilliant place for a rave!

Then Satan made them panic.

iirc ice age is a period with ice covered poles

They're like mini government tracker balls on a mocap suit to follow your EVERY ^MOOVVEEEE!!!

Dang this is just a whole rabbit hole isn't it?

He won my heart ❤️

Poltergeist 2. He is also on the cover of Among the Living by Anthrax.

Relativising Nazis to own the commies - never change Reddit

And lost each time

It is highly likely the lab was the source.

And he was the boss of the lab.

Whether it was him personally being careless, or some fault in the procedures of the lab he oversaw doesn't really matter.

There are bed bugs so why not clothing lice.

The original uncut version of Gremlins, when it hit the UK was a 15.

In the UK, the classification was:

U - Universal. Anyone can watch.

PG - Parental Guidance. Maybe some adult themes, situations or language.

15 & 18 - pretty self explanatory.

The 12 rating wasn’t introduced until 1989 and 12a (a bridge between PG and 12) in 2002.

In other words, growing up in the 80’s was wild. There’s a tonne of films I remember watching as a kid that I wouldn’t dream of showing to my daughter yet.

For sure! Want to hear the crazy part? We used to use a product made from chrysanthemum, which is a flower, to kill insects. Massive industry, made in Japan. That industry collapsed with WWII and never recovered, partly because DDT was so cheap.

That kind of sucks, as the flower was obviously natural.
