  1. I've tried to watch this film...it just doesn't do it for me. Lord of War, was just amazing. Not sure how @M2left off Con Air, or Gone in 60 seconds.
  2. I got it, Tylenol took care of it.
  3. I've had CC's that were toxic as shit, and still didn't pull this line. Then had great CC's otherwise, and said this. I don't get it. Wow. I had my first one in 2002, took hours at Travis hospital. Second one was in Omaha, and about would have been about this fast except they found the cause of pain was bone growth into the sciatic nerve from previous surgery site. I've got the worst mutant power. Well...fuck. Carl's Jr is so good though.
  4. I have a high pain tolerance. I've had 2 back surgeries (thanks AF!) because of herniated discs (also thanks AF!). Unlike you I could not do pushups without debilitating pain...but I could do sit-ups/run. Pain is different for everyone...but 10/10 pain is not what you described. 10/10 pain is standing up from bed after sleeping, immediately falling to the ground and crawling while hyperventilating to where you keep your narcotics/opiates, choking some down (while possible dry heaving) and waiting for the numbness to set in. All you can think about is the pain, and breathing. Or, if you try to see if the pain is all in your head (as the docs suggested) and skip your 2nd of 3 daily doses of narcotics on your way to your Master's Class (thanks AF) and everyone's asking you what's wrong as your limp get worse and worse, you're flush and sweating for no reason. So you take 3x 300mg percocets (hope those kidneys last) and walk to your car where you take off your blouse to scream into it until they kick in. I'm not trying to "one up brah" but I read your comment and I don't get it. When I had 10/10 pain I was an asshole to the docs until I got what I needed to survive. I've had friends, officers, who failed PT test literally because of broken backs, fucked ankles/shoulders they tried to push through. We don't get flight docs, comm/cyber dudes are with the unwashed masses at the MDG. I would encourage you to work with any subordinates and bros to NOT push through the pain. As a little bit older dude...I didn't judge people based on their PT test failures. In a Sq leadership position I saw too many fuck-fuck games with PT tests to make a blanket statement like that. We are in a very selective environment with young and healthy people for the vast majority of our careers, and it blinds us to what hurt/injured people actually deal with and the majority of our citizenry deal with on the medical side. Legit, dealing with the pain those 2 instances was the only time suicide even entered my thoughts in 21 years service. Now as @HossHarrispoints out, I'm sure those experiences weighed in on my 100% disability (thanks VA)...but I'd much rather have a spine and feet, ankles, knees and hips well enough so I could run/walk fast without being out of commission an hour after finishing. My back led to the rest of my lower body literally wasting away.

    Nice Upgrade

    Seems like a seamless upgrade. Good job!
  6. I do, did you have a question about it?
  7. Because it's not. You did what any good citizen would do, and most would do. Do you use the credit card applications you get in the mail with other people's names? Do you have any evidence to send to team-Trump that this is the downfall of our election? Ya'll want a perfect, and 100% secure process...we're humans, and democracy is dirty. There will always be issues.
  8. This is a fantastic point. If he stays on message (which if you check his twitter...he will) the left will have that to point to for distraction for however long it lasts. His lackeys will also cause this to happen. The fracturing of the Conservatives will continue to weaken the voting base. It's not that weak now (re: House seats gained, kept Senate), but at some point there will probably be candidates Donny doesn't like..what happens then? These folks are clamoring for either Trump to run again in 2024, or his kids to. That's an automatic no from me and a lot of my friends. We all need to get involved in local government. Go to you city council meetings, volunteer at polling places, help with the elections. Most of the "fraud" is based on ignorance of the process. Saw the news that the "Dominion server crashed again!?!?!? maor fraud!" Nah, servers crash all the time. Hell all of Google was down a couple days ago. Being an educated citizen isn't just knowing the facts on here, it's getting involved in what impacts you locally.
  9. and proving my point. Thanks!
  10. Awesome. I didn't know she had that history with her Dad. She did Wonder Woman, which I thought was great mostly due to great character writing and heart. If there's anything a new Star Wars movie/show needs it's heart...I'm sure she can bring it. Very excited.
  11. If you don't mind sharing, how much house did you get for that price?
  12. Yea, the President can stop saying it was stolen and express confidence in the system with caveats for the non-election impacting amount of fraud that takes place. Otherwise, nope. Trumpists will continue to claim for all time that it was a robbery otherwise. Same as when you get a toxic leader anywhere, it sucks until they're actually gone, but if they've convinced the minions to be toxic...it last for a long-long time.
  13. Alright ladies and Gentlemen, we got a big one today. So, first is news that the Tres was hacked (and probably a ton more agencies) - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/russian-government-spies-are-behind-a-broad-hacking-campaign-that-has-breached-us-agencies-and-a-top-cyber-firm/ar-BB1bToak This is on the heels of the FireEye hack, and now it looks like Solar Winds (a network monitoring/management tool) was hacked leading to the access into the Fed. This is inline with the supply chain attack, similar to NotPetya a few years ago. So, you'll notice that the hack was discovered this weekend and agencies are already burning whatever tools there were that allowed allegedly Russia to get in. CISA, the "new" DHS agency that Chris Krebs was running before the orange dummy fired him, has come a long way and is doing a good job so far. This would have taken them weeks just a couple years ago. Now they've sped that up to hours after compromise report, with intel to check for. Pretty cool! In case you were wondering what Russia has to say about it - "The Russian Embassy in Washington on Sunday called the reports of Russian hacking “baseless.” In a statement on Facebook it said, “attacks in the information space contradict” Russian foreign policy and national interests. “Russia does not conduct offensive operations” in the cyber domain." Thoughts moving forward. I think this will be seen as another escalation in norms (like the OPM hack). I expect Trump's admin to do nothing as they continue pouting. I think that Biden is going to have a very interesting line to walk, but we will not see what comes out of it for about 2 years. With USCC stepping up their game, there could be legitimate cyber consequences (hit some type of clearly military infrastructure) and the usual financial sanctions/diplomats kicked out. Previous to Biden's admin, cyber responses to these actions have not been made public (usually) even though they are effective.

    Didn't he just get a new contract?
  15. Including the current Prez before he was elected. I wonder if he was able to find the real birth certificate once he was sworn in?
  16. maybe the report will include the servers in Germany and the green berets that died there trying to get it. WTF happened to my party. States rights...when convenient. Law and order...when convenient. Proud Boys running around like Brown Shirts. Don't give whataboutism about Antifa...there's police for dealing with them. Constitution...nah, keep screaming 4-more-years.
  17. Sorry bro, nothing to add. For everyone else: NAMI - Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.
  18. Dude, feel free to spam the thread. I don't think anyone here is gonna go - "Fuck pics of bad ass aircraft."
  19. Concur on most of this, and the stuff I don't I would probably consider a matter of degrees of difference. Here's where I don't agree. "The media" hasn't gone after Barron, or the other kids who aren't in a political office. As a Dad who's literally looking down the future of a son who's not on a right path no matter what I do, I also don't think we hold the Father for the crimes of the son, even if the name was invoked for dirty dealings. My son's said shit to me that I thought sounded ok...found out after it wasn't. I wouldn't do that for Don Jr, an I won't do it for Hunter. I think that the appointment of Trumps kids to political office was reprehensible and should be outlawed by the Legislature in the next session. But again, when the kids are appointed to political positions...fair game.
  20. Have you watched this "footage?" What's the FBI going to go for...taxes, or CP?
  21. Need a U-2, and RC-135. Bump as you add stuff.
  22. Wait, I thought it was child porn, and Chinese hookers.
  23. So, assuming that the Supreme Court overrides in only those listed states in the argument, and not the other states that Trump won that had the same type of "election changes." What happens next? Majority of people did not vote for Trump either in the popular vote, or in the places where they are contesting. There has still be zero evidence of fraud to claw back a Trump win anywhere. He's engaged in attempting to get legislatures to go against the will of the people that voted. Do you think the run-off in Georgia would go R if that were to happen? I have extreme doubts. Are we looking at a general strike and protests? Are we back at riots? Would the Congress even convene? You couldn't ever get me to attend a protest for BLM, Abortion rights, gay rights, whatever. I could see myself attending one where millions were disenfranchised through no fault of their own.
  24. Again, you get things wrong. It was denied, and Kelly is not in on the new complaint nor has he filed a brief in support of it. Check here.
  25. Had a buddy that did a gig there as SOS instructor. Loved it. However, you're basically forgotten from your AFSC. Depending on the O6's that are coming around some even viewed it as "ditching the career field." You're busy just instructing, while everyone else is "leading." If you're career...why would you ever do that. Lets look at the bios of a statistically significant sampling of O6's and 1-stars...how many have PME instructor as a Capt on there? That said, Maxwell in 2017 was actually really nice. Hard to believe. Article pushes out some interesting ideas. It would make SOS more like ALS, which it basically is now. To claim the instruction there gets down into doctrine, strategy, or anything of lasting value is a lie. Other service school are much longer, and we just don't instruct the same way.
