A few sheriff dept's up here got some MRAPS for a $1 when the fed gov't was giving them away. They can't be cheap to maintain yet all these police forces have the blinders on. LOOK SHINY FREE STUFF!!111!1!

Yep. The machines are near free. Maintenance is astronomical, if they even have a place that can do it (contract out to places that service 18-wheelers, dump trucks, construction heavy equipment, etc.)

They trot them out for SWAT stuff here because we have the money and resources. There's small departments that get one and it sits in the lot and rots.

Oh shit, I forgot LOCAL police departments up here got MRAPS. Departments for cities less than 30,000 people. WHAT THE FUCK. Our state has the State Police Tactical Squad who respond to most of these incidents anyway. Portland and Bangor have SWAT teams, fine they are decent sized cities (for Maine that is). But that is ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR PROPER PROTECTION.

Can someone explain how drummers can be obese? I read that many metal drummers have peak heart rates up to 190bpm while playing. Doesn't that burn some calories playing an hour long set 5 days week, not including practice sessions? I don't get it.

Heehee.


I think it has to do with the core mass being permanently planted and just the light extremities moving really quick, like how a beetle works.

Not a beatle, a beetle.
