[quote]Watch out for drugs though[/quote] There were plenty of drugs at St. Paul's when I was there, though I will say they went to heroic lengths to try and do something about it. We had a literal narc show up on campus my junior year, some baby-faced deputy sheriff from Washington Parish or Liv...

[quote] not sure you can find one comparable in Mandeville[/quote] The closest thing is probably north of Florida and 2-3 blocks west of I-59, but even that may have been built up now....

[quote]The movie made out like they showed up at a bar one day and asked him to fly the Bell to break the sound barrier the next day.[/quote] And the F-104 thing was portrayed as a joyride. It makes for a good movie, and I'm sure Yeager pushed to get the flights he wanted, but "joyrides" are just...

A simulator won't help you much with the actual stick-and-rudder flying, but it might help you a little with the written exam. My recollection of that test is that there were a lot of questions about VOR navigation, and also a lot of questions about the sort of upside-down wedding cake airspace zone...

[quote][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Lockheed_XF-104_%28modified%29.jpg[/img][/quote] The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe was probably the first big work of non-fiction I read as a child. I remember seeing a cardboard cutout display of the cover at Waldenbooks, with all the Me...

[quote]Did oweo steal your password?[/quote] His friend Mr. Tony stole it for him. His other friend Mr. Al said that password-stealing is a federal crime. Oweo is torn between these two points of view and may need to start a thread about it....

[quote]Hubby is in wholesale parts. When we bought our Subaru back in May, they didn’t come off the price at all. The salesman admitted that they get a salary and not a commission. [/quote] Subaru does a better job of setting a meaningful MSRP than just about everyone else. ...

Definitely "loose lips sink ships." Keep your mouth shut. The other side of the coin, though, is that maybe it's good to remember that just about every one of us will say something that comes across as really stupid from time to time. Sometimes you have to keep a cool head and give people a pass ...

[quote]I am convinced these types of letters and editorials are works of fiction for people pushing an ideal in their mind. [/quote] I've wondered if they come from smarter kids trapped at liberal colleges who are just trolling. I know there was a group of Ivy League students who used to write ou...

When it comes to insanity, Slate.com is what Golden Corral is to food. My favorite is this chickadee on the prowl for... Gay Chad? https://slate.com/human-interest/2020/01/straight-woman-dating-on-grindr.html...

[quote]Is it a boondoggle? I'm asking those in the know or is it worth what we spent on it? (F35) You hear strong opinions both ways on it. [/quote] Not sure if I'm "in the know," but I have worked for several defense contractors. My strong hunch is that the F-35 is indeed a boondoggle. I say...

[quote]Sounds good to me, the planet is overpopulated as it is. What’s wrong with promoting one child?[/quote] Yeah, it's getting pretty crazy. The last time I drove from San Antonio to Las Cruces I must have seen five, six other cars. ...

[quote]she[/quote] Probably a late night with Chad and Tyrone....

[quote]Have you seen any of the YouTube videos that show the modern recruits marching at graduation? Unbelievable cluster frick! Truly unreal![/quote] Hey, those guys are working 18-hour days preparing for threats like the incel, Pepe the Frog, and practitioners of Santeria. National defense isn'...

[quote]Her alleged role in the production is to clean, dry, reshape and sort condoms under unhygienic conditions before making them look fresh again and packaging them up for new customers, media reported.[/quote] Subtle "I recycle" brag....

Man, I hope my manager at Terry Cheramie Offshore never figures out my post history. I mean, if he knew his Deputy Comptroller for Machine Tools Payables was posting half of this shit, I'd be out on my ass- especially since I'm at the Morgan City office!...

[quote]There are a lot of swole AF Joes walking around right now in tailored uniform shirts[/quote] I was thinking that very few people wear the actual government-issued stuff after basic training. They might not be wearing tailored uniforms, but they're at least wearing commercially-produced uni...

[quote]You realize it was her actions after being confronted for not wearing a mask that resulted in the tazing, right?[/quote] That argument doesn't ring true for me anymore, and I'm not alone in that. Everything that happens as a result of a person's interaction with the police has to be analyz...
