100% Wear Them.

Airborne All The Way!

My Golden Doodle is stealth smart. You'd think he wasn't very intelligent.

We boarded him at camp bowwow for a few days. When we picked him up, there was a raw spot on his nose.

Apparently he figured out how to open their doors and one evening let all the dogs out of their rooms. I'd have never thought he'd be able to do that.

Think about all the stolen bikes recovered. If you walk away from a $4k bike, you surely didn't pay for it.

So you are telling me that the same people that can't tell you what the weather will be next week might have made an error on what the weather would be like in 20 years?



Everyone that wasn't a lemming knew that was just a load of garbage. Now, the 'scientists' finally admit it.

They are selling "clicks". Anything that gets you to click on an article makes them money.

If you can't seem to mature past high school drama, you are manipulated by this tactic.

All of these data centers are going to go this way for power. They aren’t going to rely on conventional utility companies.

They have the money and influence to make these a reality.

The F-35 and especially the F-22 are the most advanced and lethal in the world, but you don't want either one engaging individual buildings, groups of people, small boats and ships, shore guns, hardened chokepoints, drones, or small vehicles at low altitude. They'd be practically useless at it.

Sometimes you need a sniper rifle and sometimes you need a club. They both have their uses but when you need a club, you REALLY need a club. The A-10 is that club.

This is going to drive development of smaller, self contained nuclear power stations. These huge corporations aren’t going to be held up by something like Entergy.

These folks are going to figure out how to roll these things out in short order.

Same...

If I had to guess, you are probably one of a long line of folks in your family that served. You believed it was the right thing to do and was proud to do it.

The United States like some other countries has a Warrior Caste This isn't talked about much but studies show that the same families, generation after generation join the military and serve. Someone from my family line has fought in every major conflict this country has participated in, including the Revolutionary War. I'd imagine you and others would tell a similar story about your family. These folks know what they are getting into and are eager to do it.

Other folks, go for the college education and hope they won't deploy. That said, even those folks generally perform very well when called on.

I think the guy described in the OP is kind of a douche.

My wife is a SAHM and she has a separate account I can't see. I deposit money in there and she buys groceries and whatever else she wants. She still has access to our joint account if needed.

I don't want her to have to ask my permission to buy something if she wants it.

No kidding. I call it my “super power”. I never realized how powerful a tool it was. I worked on a “thing” with some of the corporate legal folks in my company. A year or two later I ran into one of them and they told me “I have a confession to make.” She said “ I thought you were faking your accent.” I said “why would anyone ever fake an accent like this, people immediately think you are stupid.” She responded with “people immediately opened up to you like you were an old friend, it worked so well I thought it had to be an act.”


After that, I realized I could entice people into “educating” me about almost anything. Certain people always want to prove how smart they are. With a country accent, they just know you are likely stupid and are glad to do so.
