It was such a strong precedent that they codified it!

The world would be a better place if more people left their phones in the car and kept score.

Write thank you notes.

I just read Nancy David Kho’s “The Thank-You Project” and I am a better person for taking on her challenge. Giving gratitude and validation to your benefactors is an incredibly powerful gift for both parties.

Definitely! And do load bearing exercises with good technique to avoid the knee pain in the first place (as well as a whole bunch of other issues caused by decreases in muscle mass and bone density as we age).

If it makes you feel better, the pricing was a mistake and it’s back up to $120.

There are zero cadets in that background (or even midshipmen, if you want to be pedantic)

Fun fact: the Taliban tried to unconditionally surrender in December 2001 at Kandahar, but the U.S. refused because the Taliban wouldn’t agree to turn over Bin Laden - they couldn’t, he had already left for Pakistan - and because Cheney realized continued war was too profitable.

Can you please untag me from this at this point? Thanks.

If I were a Democratic-voting member of the same wardroom as this ensign or JG, I would be seriously questioning my “ship-shipmate-self” priorities right now.

And that’s why for as long as we’ve had an officer corps we had a rule demanding explicit nonpartisanship.

You hear lots of stories of non-infantry Marines taking up rifles and becoming expedient light infantry through Corps history, as in “every Marine a rifleman”. You don’t really hear about infantry jumping into tanks or spontaneously manning artillery batteries.

Artillery as a form of warfare, versus Artillery Branch as a career choice? Because I knew a whole lot of disgruntled 13A in Afghanistan.

Imagine sending an airborne division after this guy

Do they not remember how much of a rock star Luigi looked when they gave him the SWAT team perp walk? The 18-35 woman demo was fanning themselves and asking for smelling salts as I recall.

Oh, I’m sure some FIS has exploitable dirt on all of them already. But never interrupt your enemy while he is in the process of blundering.

HUH?!?

Thank you for sharing this. I intuitively felt that the deluge of texts was a scam — to the point where I stopped donating altogether, changed my phone number, and deleted the email I had used with Act Blue — but I had no idea how bad it was.

Heard a therapist say “People who need therapy don’t come to us, their victims do” and I can’t stop thinking about it.

The nice thing about employee-owned businesses is that “small business” and “entrepreneurship” are already positively coded in the American conversation. The only part that’s unfamiliar is the profit going to employees instead of stockholders … and nearly every American is or was an employee.

Ah you’re right. I didn’t see that was a retention device and not a derailleur in the front until I zoomed in.

The cross chaining in that glamor shot is *chef’s kiss*. Look at that poor short cage rear derailleur!

Cyber security *IS* warfighting, you idiot. Even the infantry goes into combat carrying network-connected laptops nowadays

All the academic CS conferences are going this direction and I can’t help but wonder who is enjoying this enough to make it the entire program?

I read a lot of AI slop as a PC reviewer, and it’s not enjoyable at all, let alone enjoyable enough to make 5 sessions of it in a three day conference.

To me that’s what’s so insidious about Kavanaugh’s opinions: they seem so reasonable and moderate as long as you don’t observe any of the real world ramifications of said opinion.

You say brutalized, I say “questioning … [that] is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States … and maybe with some brutality as a treat”

“Illegal” modulo a SCOTUS shadow docket ruling

It is how it works though, just like how all the impoundment happened in the 18 blue states yesterday.
