A homeless man risked his life to save several cats and dogs trapped at an Atlanta animal shelter after it caught fire, the facility's founder said. Keith Walker, 53, rushed into the W-Underdogs shelter on December 18 after a fire engulfed its kitchen. "I was nervous as hell, I'm not going to lie. I was really scared to go in there with all that smoke. But God put me there to save those animals," Walker told CNN. "If you love a dog, you can love anyone in the world. My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs." While ...

David Axe, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The Raptor excels at fighting from beyond visual range with its high speed and altitude, high-tech radar and long-range missiles. But in a slower, close tangle — what pilots call a “merge” — the heavier F-22 is at a disadvantage. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The F-22 rules the roost - but its pilots can make mistakes just like anyone, and the jet has been "shot down" in war games several times. Past evidence seems to confirm that a French fighter pilot once “killed” an American F-22 Raptor stealth fighter in mock...

Seemingly terrified that Americans’ festive habits might overtake their pandemic-inculcated learned helplessness for a few days and unwilling to “allow” people to celebrate in peace, Cohen spoke for the burgeo...

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons has just released his latest video, in which he examines the firearms used in the original Star Wars movie, released in 1977. They were based on real firearms, but embellished with add-on components and props to look more like science fiction weapons. I found the presence of an OEG (occluded eye gunsight) particularly interesting, because this was originally developed in South Africa (a few years after Star Wars came out). I used one of the first models to be produced there, and found it intriguing. Basically, one doesn't look through the ...
