Dude, when were you home last? Because I have some bad news about your bedroom. And your car.

Nothing major, they just installed new air conditioning.

I was driving to ON TASSAJARA when this happened. ಠ_ಠ

My reserve unit used to train at Camp Parks on the same range they fired the cannon from. I was kinda surprised to hear that they were firing off FUCKING CANNONS there, since it isn't exactly in a remote area.

I think this is a prime example of how we should rely more on safe-fail plans rather than fail-safe plans. Fail-safe plans meaning that risk mitigation is achieved by reducing the likelihood of failure, whereas safe-fail risk mitigation is achieved by reducing the adverse effects of a failure.

The cannonball hit at 'A'. I live at 'B'.

I think an itemized list of your valuables would help illustrate the situation much better.

Does anyone know on this map where it was shot from ?

Here is a better representation.

[–]SaltyChristian 2 points3 points ago

Shit that is a strong cannonball. Goes through a cinderblock wall, bounces almost half a mile, bounces once again, goes through a door, through a floor and out a wall (maybe even more walls inside the house), continues going for about .1 miles until it bounces on a roof and hits a car. Wow.

And here I always thought the bomb disposal range was out in the middle of nowhere

[–]untamedshrew 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here's what I wonder... Why the heck is the range lined up to shoot things towards the subdivision???

[–]Kuonji 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Look west from 'A' until you get to Camp Parks. Somewhere in there.

[–]thefreq 2 points3 points ago

I lived in San Ramon during HS, but I would always take Tassajara to get to BART. When I first heard this story, I could visualize all of this and it freaked me out. /csb

Dublin CA?? WFT

This is surprising? I live near a Rome and an Athens, and both are decent sized communities.

EDIT: And a Dublin, an Alexandria, a Cleveland, a Washington. People really aren't creative, are they.

What's worse is half of the counties around here are crap like Bacon. Cook. Coffee.

Yes, I'm commenting way behind the times here, but it's always nice to see a fellow Georgian!

No worries! Come visit /r/atlanta if you're near the area! There's more of us Georgia redditors than you may think :)

That show is probably doomed now. They are going to nerf it to the point where they won't be able to make a baking soda volcano.

Well, maybe if their houses weren't made of chicken wire... that would be myth plausible.

[–]TopAce6 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That wire mesh is layed on top of the outside wall, its used to hold stucco/stoe or plaster on the walls.
