This would be very bad for the Philippines. The lechon price will skyrocket. Many farmers livelihood will be in danger. - Today

We had a similar event here in the Robinson's Mall, Dumaguete a few weeks ago. Very, very little skill or techniques to be seen, just smashing at each other with a baton. My personal background is Jujitsu (Traditional Japanese) and I saw many openings for throws or take-downs but sadly the competitors although very enthusiastic simply didn't have the skill's required to do so.

Personal experience with Boeing's reduction in staff engineers. 48" cast iron fixture mounting cubes - tolerances of +/- .0005" over the 48" span for all dimensions = $$$$$$$ Never did find out what they were for. Made 4 good ones (60% failure rate - sold rejects as standard) We made them in a room held at 70F x 70% humidity, even cutting fluid kept at 70F, certified tested, and shipped under same conditions. I was there for the unloading / installation / acceptance runs. Accepted - no problems and promise of future orders. Several months later Wichita claimed out of tolerance and they were. As soon as I walked into the work area knew the problem. Asked to speak to the project engineer I'd worked with - no longer on staff - let go after initial trial run made in early spring. Was now summer - production to begin - over 80F inside bay, close to 100 outside during the day?. Usually this would not have been a problem. They were almost .002" out of tolerance of .0005" - due to thermostat being set at 80. Boeing claimed we hadn't warned them sufficiently regarding the thermal coefficient of expansion - showed them correspondence and warnings to original staff engineer. Point being, there was only 1 engineer handling this portion of the project, he had all the working knowledge when downsized with no replacement, which wasn't passed on , just the mountains of paperwork, when decision to save money and reset thermostat was made. Could have been avoided - yes - but as Forest said "sh!t happens"

OK. Just curious. -
The .410 is kinda silly IMO. I have seen students miss a human size target from 7 yards with a full length 12 gauge shotgun. A .410 pistol could easily be worse. I was surprised to see the stopping power of the normal self defense handguns (not mouse guns) listed as being close to equal. https://www.range365.com/history-us-army-sidearms/ Stories like the one above suggest to me that a 45 cal has more stopping power than a 38 cal pistol in a real world situation. The Colt model 1892 was then re-chambered for 45 cal. When the Model 1911 45 cal came out it then became the standard US Army sidearm for decades. This has always been my personal choice as a self defense weapon. Just my opinion.

So, like I said, better for duals to use the foreign pp entering on a BB visa and then no TT problem. I guess if you're dual RP-US then you could use the RP passport and avoid most of the TT by going through the pain and suffering of obtaining a TT waiver for p200 but I think that can only be done in Manila so it would probably cost you more than the p1620 TT anyway.

Even if this passed in congress, in the provinces, it would still not apply to foreigners. Here, foreigner driver + accident = cha-ching -

Unfortunately, the odds of anything that makes sense getting passed by congress are probably pretty slim.

Just thought I would drop by and say hi (finally remembered my login )· 4 replies
Just a quick update and to report that rumors of my demise have been grossly exagerated.
While I will never be back to 100%, I am doing quite nicely, or better than expected
There are several things I am not able to do and one is to fly for more than about 4 hours due to cabin pressure, and that really pisses me of as the Philippines has been close to me for nearly 50 years.
The other is I can no longer play the piano, which was my means of relaxation and stress relieving.
I strongly believe that being active, in good health and reasonably fit has enabled me to get back this far.
BTW, I am 82 in a few months and going better than many younger than me.
Cheers and Keep safe guys
Ken
