Likewise. Simply sitting next to this buddy of mine at high school football games has been amazingly educational. The dude can see penalties literally before they happen.

I second that

To the idiots who love doing the instant replay lawyer bullshit: A: Second guessing the physical decisions that highly trained athletes make in the matter of nanoseconds makes you nothing more than a completely worthless critic. "That guy made a decision to hit the most valuable player on the other team and then clearly didn't change his decision because he didn't make a split second decision to change his tackle posture when that important player changed his posture at the last microsecond." Get a life you sunken chest spinless incel personification of virginity. Instead, put the beer down, and go compliment the ref who had to make that call with no access to replay before doing so, fully knowing he'd be second guess for the rest of his career. I know that ref, and he's a good man. He's an athlete and a man of intense integrity. In comparison, you are nothing greater than a raging fart snorkeler. If you haven't been in the arena, shut up and go do 20 pushups...if you can. //rant switch off seriously, I'm friends with a professional Ref who has to make these calls. The number of completely un-informed and un-engaged dudes that make idol threats to him is thoroughly UNSAT. If the ref called it a personal foul, I believe it. Those guys have seen some shit and know what they're doing. The guys on either side of a "that was a bad/good call" debate universally don't know a damn thing. Step out of the peanut gallery and onto the field, or STFU.

I want one

Wait...you're not calling dibs?

The 10 mm socket was never found...

Copy. I'll be buying a pistol that will turn into a rifle for tyranny at close to medium ranges. Right now my pipedream is the Sig MCX Rattle Canebrake, which would require a proper stock, which is now apparently a pistol brace. The suppressor is a whole other story...but I'm patient.

Can someone translate the above ruling into plain English? I want to buy a rifle with shorter than 16" barrel and put a collapsible stock (pistol brace) on it. I've been putting that off because I didn't want to go through the registration BS. Can I do that now with no extra paperwork?

I have no doubt someone, somewhere in the test world is/has already started and/or completed the testing of an SDB with a rocket boost. Imagine the amount of highly accurate hate a B-52 or B-1 could deliver from over the horizon...

@M2 2024! With @nsplayr as the VP.

FIFY. Having worked in NATO...NATO cannot and never will be able to defend NATO.

Apparently they're called superprompts, and the new hotness is software design is building programs that create superprompts. Humans designing software designed to help humans communicate with a computer that will communicate with humans. What happens when you ask GPT to create a superprompt for GPT?

Like i said, agree to disagree. My wife and I are heavily involved in the local public middle and high schools. No woke. No pronouns. No gender ideology. No book banning. No LGBTQ shaming. Top tier academics. Top tier extra-curriculars. Tight integration with the local community, churchs, and public service volunteer organizations. I'm fully aware how unique it is, but it does exist. Bearing in mind that I assume a normal low level of all that stuff that has always, and will always be at the fringes of every society. Just because one kid claims to be LGBTQ doesn't mean it's a main stream in the school. I knew gay guys and girls in my high school growing up. It's normal and not the center of mass. The more people I meet from around the country, the more I'm realizing that the doom-and-gloom-nay-sayers on all sides of every aisle are usually the ones with low real awareness outside of their own community, and form their opinions of what's "happening in America" based on CNN, Fox, OAN, MSNBC or some other outlet that thrives on fear mongering. Reality: There are many local communities in America that are perfectly healthy and not saturated with either wokeism or anti-wokeism. They aren't in major cities. You don't hear about them because they don't make noise. Just because you don't hear about them doesn't mean they don't exist.

That fine print you can't read: "Please know that none of the content in the attached document was produced or validated by UPS. UPS is not, in any way, advising or encouraging any retired employee to contact PSA about this opportunity - nor are we suggesting that you take a new job. UPS has no knowledge of the actual terms and conditions of employment at PSA. Any employment decision between you and PSA must be determined solely by you and PSA." This is targeting the UPS dudes that just took early retirement. Not sure how it'd work for a junior dude who quits UPS to jump ship. My gut says:

Agree to disagree. We're fine here in my corner of the country.

The parallels between this administration and that of Carter are truly uncanny. The biggest difference is that we have no Reagan waiting in the wings to heal all the pain this administration has put us into.

I'm not good enough to be in the army, but smashing the large explosive rocket like that seems unsmart. Where's our local arty dude?

Well then. Seems like this is all going swimmingly. Good thing we have strong, savvy, and decisive leadership in the US. Over-under on real actions in the Taiwan straits before the next US election?

FIFY

Before reading the rest of this thread, I was going to guess he was in charge of the pilot retention team...

And the FAA's new face for HIMS? They'll probably rebrand it as HERS somehow for good ol' Patty...
