Thank you for the advice, unfortunately that did not fix the problem.

The few comments on that “article” are either poorly written or stuff like “just blow the doors off them at the next light”. Typical macho bullshit that they think impress people.

How freaking tall are you?

A very heavily curated Hot/All. I have a huge block list but I want to see new communities.

And immortal.

Being able to use TikTok on your phone doesn’t make you tach savvy. They don’t know anything about how it all works. It’s a false dichotomy.

The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

He is a little fucking nuts but the book is fun.

Ha! 😂

This line was very telling “Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News…”

Fox News is basically a Russian state propaganda arm.

I live in Pentagon City VA, I’m not surviving shit. ☺

The video from the flight deck was used during my damage control training when I was in the Navy. The DC rate was created after that disaster.

Fun fact, Navy ships didn’t even have a dedicated firefighting force until after the disaster on the USS Forrestal in 1962. A fire broke out on the flight deck and the attempts to put it out were like watching Keystone Cops. Nobody had a dedicated job or understood how to actually fight a Class D fire.

Such a slow burn movie, but I really enjoyed it.

Now NSF funds all branches of science excluding defense and most medical. Those are DOD and NIH for the most part.

If this type of basic science research interests you, in the US there is a federal agency dedicated to this pursuit; the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov)

95% of its annual budget goes out the door in the form of research grants to colleges, small businesses and individuals. Most of the research has no immediate application but has lead to some very exciting discoveries. The biggest in the recent past was that orange donut picture of a black hole that was everywhere.

The Cuecat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat

Came at a time when there weren’t barcodes everywhere and QR codes didn’t exist yet. Companies had to publish Cuecat specific barcodes, it was much easier to just type in the URL by the time you figured out you could use it at all.

In live in DC and I wish we had a well functioning taxi system here. The airport is about the only place you can reliably get one. If I want to get picked up at home there is no one number to call since every taxi is independent and the Curb app is worth shit. When I do get a cab from the airport the experience is on par with Lyft and usually cheaper.

The orders: “Don’t get caught”

Because they make his hands look huge.

The receiver attached to my TV let’s me do ½ volume numbers. It’s great to raise the volume to 45.5. 😈
