Do we get to watch the ensuing hilarity when the sharp edge of that Weber flare peels that tire like an orange?

I think the culling of my "friends" list would be worth it. Does that make me a bad person?

My wife was a barista and got me hooked on those. Now that I don't get it for free anymore, not so much. I know she doesn't miss it.
Edit, unrelated pic.

All Artillery comes with a muzzle cover, IF there's any water it just gets pushed out.
That's a 120mm M-256. Our investigation revealed that the fuses (they get screwed into the nose just prior to firing) fuses were assembled incorrectly causing premature firing. That manufacturer is now out of business. Further investigation showed some were shipped "armed". Imagine the poor UPS guy carrying around a box full of fuses and hits one too many bumps with the truck!
What happened to the personnel operating those cannons?

It's a shame that I can only+1 once. This made my day.

The 120 blew shrapnel around, most hitting a nearby building in the mountainous desert of a middle eastern Country; three were injured with the towed Howitzer, none serious.
I've got a video of an M-777 being lifted in Australia and the front cable breaks from the helicopter. All the weight goes to the rear cable, you hear the engine rev up and then the pilot releases the load. It dropped about 200 feet and buried itself in the ground about 5 ft. It came back to the shop and surprisingly the bore was straight within .00025 over its 200 inch length.
