There’s some verses in the Bible that tell you to be wary of those that come dressed clean and godly, that pray in public, and make a spectacle of their worship.
I forget exactly the words but it is basically that yeah, they’re filthy and ungodly inside.
I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they’re cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn’t have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We’d have people bucking rivets and I’d walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.
My site manager didn’t like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn’t wear them. I said, “Motherfucker, they’re finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No.”
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.
The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I’ve noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.
Now, I’ve read that horses were native to the Asian continent and migrated elsewhere, eventually to the Americas. However, I was at the San Diego Natural History museum and they had a display that claims the opposite, that horses are native to then migrated out of the Americas.
*37 seconds of Wikipedia browsing did teach me that native horses went extinct in North America about 8,000 years ago, then were later reintroduced.
A turn out of 83%?! Impressive.
Appreciate the correction. All the conjugations are hardest thing for my brain to remember.
As I’m someone slowly and difficultly learning Spanish, for the soul purpose of visiting because, yo quiero comé muchos tacos de cabeza y bebe unas micheladas, I appreciate you. I’ll bet I missed a dozen accents.
I’ve been called an “elder millennial” before and I thought that was funny. But just “elder”… bitch, fuck you!
You’re telling me the purpose built air superiority fighter can out fight the multi-role strike-fighter? That’s wild and who’d of thunk!
Except only one of those systems depends on the exploitation of the working class, ya know, your breeding live stock. Only one of those system destroys a work life balance. Only one leaves the population with little free time and shrinking resources with which to have and raise a kid. Japan is past, and the US is passing, the tipping point. Society may deem it necessary but the potential parents recognize it as untenable.
What happens when the orphan crushing machine has no orphans?
Ah, so not the scent-memories that were triggered in me then. Different Nintendo scents, makes sense.
suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.
Fuck. I know this smell. You just triggered NES and Super Nintendo memories in me. Never played Switch but I’m assuming they’re about the same.
I agree that violence is violence, however, the legal repercussions are very often not the same, the public repercussions are often not the same.
I’m sure all those old European royal families are going, “Yeah, yeah, it’s those tiny middle of nowhere American towns where the inbreeding happens. Not here. Never here.”
Being powered by three turbines the E chugs cash, but you do have a max of 15,000 available horsepower.
The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.
Should ever become rich, like fuck you money rich, I’m buying a PBY Catalina and turning it into an RV of sorts - not an original idea. There was a company out of Australia that was modernizing them. Not as roomy as a big bomber, but has a ruggedness and the go anywhere capabilites unique to flying boats. And I fucking love the look of the wings over the fuselage.
Take your fake pearl clutching to the shareholders meeting. Are you upset because Luigi didn’t do it for profit?
Eye for an eye: bad. Eye for a dollar: righteous.
When does the killing make the world not sad for you? One death is apparently upsetting. A hundred dead then? Thousands? Or is the number of lives less important than if it’s done for profit?
Later seasons of Clone Wars is quite good, same with Rebels. They fleshed out and/or introduced some of the best characters in the universe - with some of the best story arcs.
The Andor trilogy (including Rogue One) is phenomenal. Even if you don’t like Star Wars.
The Madalorian starts out strong but degrades over time.
The Bad Batch also not bad.
But most of it has absolutely been quantity over quality. I mean, Episode 8 was so bad I still haven’t seen Episode 9; haven’t even bothered to pirate it.
