One kid sniffed lighter gas and jacked off during 9th grade chemistry class. He passed out and fell off his chair and hit his head to the floor with his dick still clutched in his hand.

The teacher was so terrified that she couldn't do anything but stutter and shake violently. Me and a couple of my friends dragged the idiot outside to get fresh air while waiting for the ambulance.

The sniffer came back to school the next day like nothing had ever happened. This incident was never again discussed in any way by the teachers or other faculty members.

There were lots of totally crazy shit happening on a weekly basis. The early 90's were pretty wild where I grew up.

I remain baffled by this. But since I can barely differentiate red and green in optimal lighting conditions, it does not come as a surprise.

I set X-Wing Alliance up for my 13 year old son some time ago. He absolutely loved it.

"You had games likes this back in the dark ages?!"

Wow. That was far better than most of the official sequels.

True.

I think I've reached the age where finding out I've been wrong about something isn't all that bad. Accept and examine the presented facts and you just learn something new. And there's no shame in that.

This is worse than terrible. Now Trump gets to play martyr and it rallies up his base, even the ones who were in doubt after his conviction.

And as the chaos ensues, Putin is laughing at his throne.

Yep, after comparing both images more closely I am now certain that I was wrong. The structural dissimilarities are simply too great, even for a heavily modified model.

This is a good reminder for me to keep my facts straight before I start claiming truths online, based on just memories from quarter a century ago ;)

Thank you for kindly showing me my mistake!

I did my service in the late 90's and a gun just like on the picture above was on display at the gun exhibit at the RUK main hall. It was of course heavily modified according to the wishes of the buyer, but built upon the basic RK-95 frame.

Here's a link that somewhat matches my memories:

EDIT:

It is completely possible I am wrong. There are bound to be a large number of gilded AK-variants in the arab courts, everyone probably wanted their own after the first one got them. The picture does match my memory, but it was a long time ago...

That is a gilded SAKO RK-95.

I saw one on display in the late 90's, they were a special batch ordered by the Royal Guard of the Arab Emirates or Quatar, if memory serves correctly. The image does not give away how mindblowingly cool it was in real world.

EDIT:

I was mistaken. It is not RK-95 but some other AK variant, as OP clearly points out in the comments.

We X's were born into the analog world and grew up as the digital age started to emerge. We have the luxury of knowing both.

Orpon ja EK:n haluttomuus/kyvyttömyys pitää Purran laumaa kurissa on sysännyt tämän maan hyvin vaaralliselle tielle.

Valtiovarainministeri julkaisee saksikuvia hymy huulillaan kun sosiaaliturvasta leikataan rankasti.

Oikeusministeri kertoi Oulun viimeisten puukotusten jälkeen tahtovansa antaa poliisille valtuudet tarkastaa kenen tahansa laukut ja taskut milloin vain "varmuuden varalta".

Elinkeinoministeri on mitä ilmeisimmin hyvin nuorista naisista/tytöistä kiinnostunut saalistaja, joka jatkaa surutta ja ylpeänä hyökkäyksiään hänen toimintaansa kommentoinutta mediaa kohtaan. Hallituspuolueet antoivat kuitenkin (lähes) täyden tukensa tälle pikku veijarille eduskunnan luottamusäänestyksessä. Ministeri Ilkka Kanerva erosi aikanaan omatoimisesti, kun jäi kiinni läheteltyään tekstiviestejä stripparille ja yriteltyään peitellä asiaa valehtelemalla. Nykymenon valossa ei voi kuin ihailla Kanervan selkärankaa.

Kansanedustaja Mäkelä ulisee mediassa siitä, että oikeustieteen emeritusprofessori kehtaa nostaa haastattelussa esille syvän huolensa perustuslakivaliokunnan politisoitumisesta ja oikeusvaltioperiaatteen murenemisesta.

Jos joku olisi 10 vuotta sitten väittänyt, että mikään edellämainituista olisi ollut hyväksyttävää tai edes siedettävää toimintaa kansanedustajalta tai ministeriltä, hänet olisi naurettu ulos keskustelusta samantien.

Mutta tällä mennään, kun kansa ei vaan tiedä.

According to Wikipedia, one S-500 system has a ~ $2.5 billion price tag and it still is unable to protect itself ;)

Destroying one with nearly any ordnance available will give you the best bang for a buck one can possibly get. The murderous thieves may find it very hard to replace these with the sanctions up, which is nice.
