I'm not ignoring you in particular; I muted that thread.

My best guess is the want to conduct seizures of Iranian ships. That’s one of the missions a MEU is tasked with and that’s about the right size for it.

It could also be that they want to conduct seizures of Iranian tankers. That’s one of the missions the marines conduct.

The US withdrew its troops from Vietnam in 1973 and Saigon fell two years later. It’s highly unlikely that Cramer would have been drafted and sent to Vietnam if he didn’t graduate from high school until 1973.

Real mindfuck to contemplate what the money from the heroin trade was being used for and where than dope actually ended up. I mean I know where some of it ended up.

Thinking back to the war in afghanistan and how the USMC was tasked with guarding the heroin crop so the taliban wouldn't steal it.

Easy to infer that the plane pictured was refuelling the one that crashed and they made more contact than intended and well....

This is the other plane involved in the crash, the one that made an emergency landing and you can see nearly half of its vert stabilizer is gone. The plane that didn't make it is a kc135 that's capable of being restocked w/ fuel in-flight--a receiver tanker.

Many years ago, long before the AI thing, I was dating a woman who said to me "scared money doesn't make money" or some such horseshit. That was the moment I knew it was over between us. I think about that more often than I should and picture her married to one of these morons.

You really shouldn't listen to Cramer's financial advice but he happens to be correct here. Buying high and selling low is a not the way.

America bombs a school, kills 150 school children and yet somehow, in Trump's world, Iran is the terrorist.

two times a year or so I fuck up and use "your" when I mean "you're" in a text message and it ruins my whole week.

don't think iran is going to be the last country not to send a team or delegation. just set aside the risk from the trump admin for a second and consider the risk to the teams of retaliation against america for this stupid war.

Nintendo actually just filed a lawsuit against the admin to have IEEPA tariffs refunded.

Sharon is right, we are cooked, but this is also florida. Even by american standards the florida electorate is, uh, eclectic.

If never fails that your cylinder is one type and your hoses are another and your bulkheads and valves are still different. Sometimes you have German DIN and British Pipe Parallel and American National Pipe Thread in one system.

Nothing ever makes me feel dumber than trying to decipher all the various fittings and threads and sealing methods for hydraulics. There's got to be 20 different standards each with 6 different sizes and none of them tend to match the actual measured sizes.
