What carriers does he think they have spare? Britain only has the one, maybe two. France has one, italy has two. Anyone else in Europe managed to get one in the last few years?

5 carrier groups isn’t really enough for force projection. That’s why we have 13 super carriers and 18-20 diesel carriers, we just call them Helo ships.

Oh, I guess Russia also has .5 - .75 carriers, but as it’s only left port once, I wouldn’t be counting on any help there either.

We’re all gonna be free the 14th of Septober!

Seriously. Anytime anyone even tries to, “thank me for my service,” I stop them cold. I tell them the truth. “I didn’t join to serve. I joined up for the same reason that 90% of us joined up. It was the least shitty option of a few terrible options, and paid for my college.”

Not for much longer.

Lead poisoning

I literally got chewed out by a 74 year old boomer the other day, because he was claiming how smart he was to buy a triplex back in the late 1960s rather than a “big single home,” like all his friends. He now has a passive income of around $8,200 per month, and got completely incensed when I congratulated him on his luck. He didn’t want to hear about the multiple people I know that are his age, tried the same exact plan, and are destitute because they didn’t get lucky.

Fuck the boomer assholes that made this shit global, and perpetuate their “horse and sparrow economics,” delusions to today, 150 years after that shit was proven wrong.

Is that what they’re called? It took me almost a year to realize they weren’t baby hummingbirds, because we have a plethora of both species around here.

I chose anger in the general direction of a parrot, because they ate one of the moths in front of me at one point, before I realized they were moths.

That’s from a year ago, and the fictional couple that he constantly refers to as, “The Baileys” make an appearance.

Now do Hakeem Jeffries.

Historically, when vision tests actually mattered, I could see that. These days most commercial flights could be piloted by practically blind people, outside of “jamming accidents” caused by the military, since the planes can see and detect everything better than any human, and we finally have the final approach lasers installed at every US airport.

These days it should probably be female dominated, just because statistically speaking women are being hired more frequently than men across the entirety of the job market.

Title should read: Land that gets voting rights in the US.

That should be on the flag of The Earth, if not humanity in general. We live on one of the only, if not the only, planets in the entire visible universe that lucked out and got the perfect sized moon and host star to have even close to total eclipses, much less total eclipses.

Mars eclipses are just pathetic.

Hook and Vintage Story. I think I just killed the Lost Boys with Eldridge Horrors beyond comprehension, accidentally.

Very. The quick search I did indicated that 70.7% to potentially 97% of pilots are men.

Yes. Absolutely.

And yet it is possible and feasible in every other country, including ones like The Netherlands that followed us down our idiotic path, until the early 2000’s, and ripped out the roads and gave the cities back to all forms of transportation.

It isn’t possible because no one is willing to do it, other than some of the coastal cities on the west Coast, where it is slow, but works damn well.

Apparently when I was 3, the song, “If you’re gonna play in Texas,” by Alabama, came out.

I heard, “If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a parallelogram.”

I don’t see much of an issue since we already have 8 lane interstates connecting the vast majority of the cities in this country. The HSR could even connect with the light rail using existing bypasses. We have already emminent domained more space than we need, both inside and outside of the cities.

Easy? No. Easier than continuing to support a broken system of highways that hasn’t been revisited in policy since at least the 1970’s? Yes.

The double track I was referring to is the light rail that one would use in urban areas. HSR has no need to expand all the way into most city centers.

Vote by mail if it is an option. Those machines are rigged, Trump and Musk both admitted this before the last election. Mail in voting is infinitely harder to fuck with as there is a human, being watched by other humans, doing the count check.

As newthrowaway reminded me, hand drop off your mail in ballot.

Rip out the extra lanes of the damn roads and highways that induced demand, and we got all the space we need without destroying much in the way of existing buildings. A double track is only about as wide as one lane of our surface stroads.
