They even forced our refueling tankers from Ben Gurion International and capped us at 20 aircraft

Israel has plenty of other airfields. The extra tankers being at Ben Gurion take up ramp space and were going to cause 50k ticket refunds.

They're feeding us intel, like they always do.

No, it started in the 50s.

Mental institutions in the U.S. began closing in the mid-1950s and the process accelerated through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, driven by new antipsychotic drugs, civil rights litigation, and federal legislation like the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. The state hospital population dropped from roughly 560,000 in 1955 to under 40,000 today

I'm surprised, I've been up to Bridgeland a couple of times and didn't notice a desi invasion. At least Asian town E of 99 doesn't smell bad :lol:

cheap apartments quickly

They're not building cheap apartments in Fulshear/Western Katy. The absolute cheapest in 77441 is $1,300 for a one bedroom. Some of these apartments have 5BR, which I didn't know was a thing, for over $3k a month.

New builds are shoddily made crap.

Not necessarily. A lot of it comes down to the builder's foreman and how many houses they're running at the same time. The last new build I did, the foreman was going through ball cancer treatment, and had 2x as many houses as he should have. That resulted in me finding shite like a chimney vent that went up at 90 degrees, turned left, and then angled down for about two feet before going 90 degrees straight up. While I'm not a home inspector, physics seems to dictate that would have been a great way to suffocate everyone in my house overnight.

front desk staff issue.

Small town practice staff seem way too comfortable in their jobs, IME. Especially with DRs near retirement that act as absentee owners with an understudy.
Applied to GA Tech and LA Tech. GA Tech sent their acceptance letter to the country's post office overseas, instead of the FPO. I got the letter 3 months after I accepted to go to LA Tech, the day before I flew out.

After the Army, applied to SFA and LSU, got accepted to both, but I had inadvertently switched my residence from TX to LA somehow, so attended LSU.

This! I want two teams pissed to miss the final taking it out on each other. I can envision England thinking, we went defensive too fast, let's play our version of Klopp's heavy metal football, etc.

Not sure how long you're there, but consider a quick trip to Istanbul. A buddy is in Athens right now on a school trip and Istanbul is their next stop if they're not there already. You can get an eVisa on your phone while you're waiting to go groundside for cheap even after you arrive.

There are an absurd number of ferries in the Med if you want to explore beyond Athens.

Also, even if you don't book a tour, look at the list of tours available from Viator, it will lay out a lot of stuff to do.
I reposted you in the other thread that's super concerned about dual loyalties (Israel of course) without giving you credit.
