The Unqualified Expert

Don't see a monkey.

'90s ALNG had some organizational memory of the civil rights protests, I was trained more there for protests than in the RA.
In the RA I was trained to with mattock(pickaxe) handles.
In the NG was trained annually to hold them off with batons while snatching specific protest leaders from the crowd.

Good morning, Pam Bondi ☕️💅🏽

So... no lint collection today?

Expected future fit vs Actual future fit

I've thought one of these with a filter and a beefier motor would be a fun exosuit for when the pandemic ramps up again, but it turns out to be this decade's version of...

A year or more late, if true.

Wait...

The founder of ANTIFA told me their girlfriend lived in Canada?!?

Sage, maybe. And a bit of potpourri.

Few years back a candidate sued because he was let go as a cop because his IQ was too high.

Turns out their research showed that cops with higher IQ are a retention problem... they quit, find other jobs and the department didn't want to make the investment.

Not to be outdone, the secretary of housing and urban development will dress up like an apartment building.

Okay, that's funny.

May Dolly Parton, patron Saint of children literacy, female power ballads and your gift to all who behold her, stay safe, and stay with us for as long as she may wish until she finds peace in the hereafter

That’s…that’s what the Constitution says they should do: protect and defend the people of the United States of America.

I'm finding DoD 5100.76-M requires this for storage under certain conditions or under local policy. May be the previous versions required this for transportation or that it was a state policy.

The bolts were marked with the rack numbers in what looks like white-out.

So far as I know, all the units in the Dixie Division ( really an infantry Brigade) did that.

This was the 90s Alabama National Guard, in the era of 15-year E4s and four deuce.

Which is about as relevant to you as the Korean War was to me.

Apropos of nothing, we had an E6 who had been in Korea right after the war, and an E5 who'd been one of those legendary theiving Vietnam supply sgt

As someone who has guarded a payroll (folding green money and travelers checks) without ammo... I'm going to guess these guys never get ammo or it stays locked in the NCOICs vehicle.

In the guard there was supposedly a law that prohibited us transporting the bolts and the weapons in the same vehicle.

The bolts had a locking box and the rifles went on your arms room style rack.

At least once the weapons showed up in the field to discover that they had "forgotten" the bolts.

The same thing is true of the unorganized militia of the United States...

... which excludes people like the vice president and the Postmaster General weirdly enough.

Fortunately we're not susceptible to spontaneous call-ups.

I feel like some enterprising PAC NCO has suddenly discovered what to do with the guys they had no idea what to do with and couldn't Xerox the waivers fast enough.

Doesn't seem to me they'd be inclined to bring them home.

Somebody forward this picture to SEC(G)WAR

Takes a lot to make me feel (relatively) svelte.

I want a world where AI startup GPUs are on the market like Mosin-Nagants in 2010 and it's basically impossible to not find someone trying to sell you one

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Please, pretty please, Portland Frog needs a movie.

Or the '80s tanker in germany look.

The litmus test will be if they cancel or retarget star trek.

The human equivalent of AI generated content:

Raise a filmmaker on The Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare, and She Wolves of the SS and this is what comes out the other end.

The problem here was not so much the idea of flying a car well known for it's love of explosions, but the implementation of throwing the whole thing together with sheet metal screws and not, IDK, fasteners rated for the job.

Who weirdly like to carve swastika... other than that.

I think I got about 20 min in before loosing interest.
