One guy had training, experience, and SA, the other didn't. Besides, it's not like you have a port hole for the men to shoot out of like the Bradley, the 1972 version.

Allow myself to quote myself... Dogecoin - WSJ Article "A more than 12,000% rally this year in dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was set up as a joke and serves no purpose, sent its price to a record 69 cents per token this week." Time to trade the Camaros in for Vettes. Out

Dogecoin at 40 cents. At the time of this message, it was 3 cents. New Camaros for everyone!

The definition of right and left seemed skewed in that graphic.

So, there's an effort to remove a PPL from consideration for selection? Seems stupid. I didn't get a slot in college (selection rate went to shit), so I competed for a slot on AD. I knew a PPL was going to be huge, so I figured it out. If I can find a way to get for a PPL, anyone can. I just looked it up, but back in 95 a 2nd Lt made $1636.20 a month. BAH barely covered apt rent. I found a local flight school and paid for my PPL, $2250 at the time, by nearly maxing out a credit card. I paid what I could each month. I then bought a block of 50 hrs for $1250 (yes, $25/hr wet, a huge bargain these days, but in a Traumahawk) and got my hours up over a 100 (the next big PCSM milestone). Lastly, in my UPT class, we didn't do FSP as it was cancelled a few months before attending and the AF didn't fire up the paid for PPL program yet. A few folks that didn't have a PPL struggled. Some made it, some didn't. But maybe that's the problem here; people can't figure shit out anymore and need systems to change and make it easier for them. Compare two people for a slot. One is just existing, but doing good school. The other is busting their ass, working extra to pay for a PPL. It's not that hard of a call.

Like CH, I got mine at the VA and I've never used them for anything. Eligibility is receiving care or eligible to receive care. They had a car checkpoint just after the gate asking the symptoms questions. After that, they had a few folks directing traffic to the area doing the shots in the hospital. Got a clipboard and number (like the barber shop) and waited my turn. Our VA has been doing Moderna but they just got a shipment of Pfizer and that's what I got (and based on my own research, I preferred). They were giving 2nd doses of Moderna that morning as well. After the shot, I barely had a sore arm, but I massaged it a lot after the shot. And that was it. No temp, no aches, no chills, nothing. I suspect I got a shot of saline. And ditto on the VA staff, all friendly and such. As for scheduling, I get the VA e-mail newsletters and saw they are now doing all eligible vets. The state is at 1B. I called, someone answered right away, and was scheduled with what worked for me, 2 days out. I'm eligible to get a shot thru Cook County in IL via work for the last 4 weeks, but any attempt has been a shit show. Out

Last time I checked, plenty of people suck at driving too. Lane keeping, collision avoidance braking, pacing cruise control, etc. techs have prevented accidents. I know you don't need those since you're so defensive, but someday you might. Or if you have kids, you may want your kids to have those techs. I want them for my kids. And it's companies like Tesla and others that are pushing the industry faster than it wanted. Interesting theory, any Tesla crash is news while the thousands of crashes by other cars is meh. It like if a pilot does a go around, so what. AF-1 does a go around, oh my fucking shit what the hell is going on headlines all day. Out

I hope/believe Rep Kinzenger will make it through these times, and remembered for his courage to take on the party. The rest are spineless or complicit. I remember a class in school where we learned about mass hysteria and some examples in history. These times sound a lot like a mass hysteria event/s. Its a psychology problem I guess. That so many are influenced is quite amazing. And our foreign adversaries are probably grinning and chuckling, giddy with joy. Out

Show me in the leave AFI where it says leave is automatically approved when submitted. I know someone overseas and the quarantine/testing/zero leave actions make our military people almost prisoners. If "exposed" they quarantine you for 2 weeks in your room... can't leave at all. Which I hear is the runtime of watching every Simpsons episode. One finds the end of the internet pretty quick like that. If and when a mandatory vaccinate order comes, the order will be fully vetted by DoD/Executive level legal. And there is a waiver for anything, except physics. PS, the things people lose their shit over these days is epically amazing. Out

I had a few bucks in my 401K brokerage, so this early fall I bought a few shares each of Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, thinking if any of these hits a homerun on a vaccine, I might earn a few. Well, thanks to the short squeezers, Novavax is about to double. Beer covered for the next few months. Oh wait, its in the 401K, shit. I'll stock up when I'm 65 then.

That's a lot of "pistol" especially for an MSRP of $799.

Mostly nothing. The billionaires (Bs) won't like the scrutiny, so they'll fund their politicians to play dumb. The SEC won't change rules on shorting other than slapping Robinhood for halting trading for certain customers. Plus the lawsuit against them should help stop that practice. Reddit may delete the club if the SEC says "insider or collusion", but they'll find another place. In summary, the Bs shorting game will slow considerably, but won't go away. They've got a target on their foreheads and the Joes are not going to let up. Maybe next time the Bs will keep their yaps shut on their shorts. Why I do I keep thinking there was a dollar bet made sometime last year. Hey Citadel, bet you a buck you can't make Gamestop go bankrupt. To the everyday Joe investor, "Looking Good Billy Ray" Out

Anyone that thinks the elections were stolen, full of fraud, etc. has been gaslighted. Trump, his family, his apostles, his subjugates, and his followers, are all brainwashed. I used to be surprised by stuff, but not much these days. This one has me surprised again, that so many in our nation are convinced that the election was stolen. The actions of those fucktards yesterday has brought great shame upon our nation. Out

CS, Go to the VARS site and read up on all the adverse reactions to all the vaccines you've ever taken, to include the yearly flu one. Once your head spins from all the reported reactions, you might realize this one is no different. If you've survived all the others, you will likely be fine. GFC, the crybaby mentality of people these days... grow a pair. If Pelosi can push though it.... Out

Like PowerPoint? You're taking a weak sauce pass because of PowerPoint? Was it from scientists that understand biochemistry, how they manufacture mRNA, and how each vaccine mechanism works? As for duration, how long does you body keep antibody memory for tetanus? Or typhoid? Next, effectiveness in trials were in the 95% range, which puts it at the top of the vaccine list of effectiveness. So yes, in this instance, it is the silver bullet. All the other bullets are useless. My point here, do some of your own research. I did. For one, the mRNA approach is something that was talked about when I was in college and will be a true change in modern medicine. "RNA is required for protein synthesis, does not integrate into the genome, is transiently expressed, is metabolized and eliminated by the natural mechanisms of the body and is therefore considered safe." mRNA vaccines were already developed for Zika and rabies, but those diseases are mostly in check with other vaccines or low-rate infections, i.e., no urgency to market, so their trails were low priority. But they laid the foundation and technology to quickly develop the COVID vaccines. Anyone here that had the Anthrax vaccine can attest to some of the adverse effects. I will wager that the mRNA vaccine adverse effects will likely pale in comparison. PS, I my undegrad degree is biochem, so I have a curiosity about how they did it. Move over CRISPR, mRNA is whizzing by on the left.

Hi Jon and/or Amy, I did a refi this spring at 2.75%. Now I'm getting flooded with refi mail daily. Is 2.25% possible and can another refi be done so quickly after the one we did in early April? BTW, all those mail offers touted 2.25%, but the fine print said up to 2 points payable. Thanks

Guardians. Yep, they went Marvel for the membership name, you know, to go along with the Star Trek emblem. Pence names Space Force members The commander of Space Force better be referred to as Star Lord. And Groot must be on the patches. And there better be some sweet tunes playing during any space op. Edit. From the article, The Space Force motto is “Sempa Supra,” or “Always Above” and, according to Pence, President Trump is its “founder.” So, if you are on the moon, are you above Earth, or is Earth above the moon? Is there an "up" side to the galaxy? If creatures from two planets are looking up at each other, who's above? Also, I thought Congress made the Space Force, just like they made the Air Force. Out.

America makes the best beer in the world. You can find any style just about anywhere. Some of my current favorites. For those of you in the WI area, check out O'so Brewing. Stuff sold in stores state-wide, tasting rooms in Madison and at the brewery in Plover, and for the FIBS, Woodmans in Kenosha of I-94 is your place to stop/beer shop. O'so "Beer" is an OUTSTANDING lager. Don't let the generic can fool you (its actually a cheeky joke). The Convenient Distraction has been wonderful in these times. And when it's made, Lupulin Maximus is a great West Coast IIPA. Listen to the owner himself, Marc. BTW, they used to put a hop cone in the bottle, but the lawyers said it was a choking hazard. Who reads label warnings? For those in the Little Rock area, we have Lost Forty, recently awarded the Best Mid-sized US Brewery at the 2020 Great American Beer Festival. My Daily Drinker A very smooth, 9% well hidden, Porter. This stuff is addictive! Recently had this Essence Ale Rosemary IPA in PHX. I was intrigued by the mixture of two resinous plants, hops and rosemary. It was a treat to try, and the brewery is an all-woman venture. It would have gone great with Thanksgiving, but it was only on tap so I couldn't bring any home. Thread Resurrection Complete

Pilot 1st, Dr 2nd is my advice and its been done before. I've known two guys that went to med school after becoming a pilot. The first guy I met was an active duty, USAF Lt Col Flight Surgeon and I don't recall how he did med school or how long he stayed a pilot. The other was an active duty pilot, got out, went to med school, now doing Dr stuff. If you join a Guard or Reserve unit while doing the degree work, you can get a feel for the military stuff and build connections for a pilot slot. If you change your mind, back to the med path you go. If it works out, and probably after some seasoning (experience), perhaps start up the med path again, maybe stretch it out if you're not in a hurry. You'll likely have more flexibility to do part time to full time education while in the ANG/Reserve. And then there are the education benefits you can use to help pay for it. Happy hunting

Personal experience or just what some talking head said? 99% of SSD claims are denied on initial application. These days, just about anyone that gets SSD gets it after the claim is taken to court. Takes over a year to years. VA disability claims don't usually take a lawyer to get.

If all the animals on the equator were capable of flattery, then Thanksgiving and Halloween would fall on the same date. Is that worth it?

What are you trying to do, specifically? Lay it out. And if you're not assigned to a unit on that base in that airframe, it's probably a low chance of happening. Maybe Christmas time, when students are pushed on leave, perhaps the sim contractor has a program in place, and you have a buddy that signs up his family to take a sim ride, and you ask that buddy to take you too.

I think that BODN is a place where views are "confronted." Just look at this topic. I've never lived in a socialist state, so I don't know what that is like, nor have I visited a socialist paradise. I do live in a state that has fewer restrictions than others and lets me live the way I want. So that's pretty cool (except for the no beer sales on Sunday, that's just un-American!) 2. My military job was secure, except for the RIFs, non-continuations for not promoting, medical discharges, or taking a mortar while sleeping in Iraq. I think 26 years is mandatory retirement for Os unless you make general? Who goes to 40? Anyway, I could spend all afternoon trying to counter all you're echo chambered points, but I got garage work to do and beer to drink, paid for my that ridiculous retirement package, all while wondering what my next job will be as I get laid off soon.

Minneapolis - a crazy experiment, Wild West style. With no police, those that can afford it will hire private police, like gated communities and corporations. Lots will move away, tanking its local real estate and economy. Crime will go unchecked. Shootings will increase as folks defend themselves. Crime lords will come out and take over. Eventually, after the mayor learns his lesson, the Gov will have to send in the Guard. Companies located there will decide they must leave to survive. Here's top the top 50 employers of MN in the MSP area. If I were a CEO of Target, Best Buy, Ameriprise, Wells Fargo, hell, even the USPS (they should band together), they should tell the mayor if the police go, they go, and take tens of thousands of jobs with them. 1 Mayo Clinic Rochester 26,308 2 3M Co St Paul 12,000 4 Thomson Reuters Legal Sltns St Paul 6,700 5 Mayo Clinic Hosp St Mary's Rochester 5,167 6 Ameriprise Financial Inc Minneapolis 5,065 7 Andersen Corp Bayport 5,000 8 Best Buy Co Inc Minneapolis 5,000 9 Target Corp Minneapolis 5,000 10 Hennepin County Med Ctr Red Minneapolis 4,900 11 IBM Rochester 4,800 12 Park Nicollet Methodist Hosp St Louis Park 4,650 13 Abbott Northwestern Hospital Minneapolis 4,573 14 Carlson Inc Minnetonka 4,500 15 SMSC Gaming Enterprise Prior Lake 4,500 16 North Memorial Health Care Robbinsdale 4,300 17 Health Partners Minneapolis 4,000 18 Little Six Casino Prior Lake 4,000 19 M Health Fairview Clinic Minneapolis 4,000 20 US Post Office Minneapolis 4,000 24 SMSC Gaming Enterprise Prior Lake 3,750 25 Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Minneapolis 3,750 26 Children's Minnesota Minneapolis 3,710 27 Blue Cross & Blue Shield of MN St Paul 3,500 28 Boston Scientific Corp St Paul 3,500 29 Seagate Technology Bloomington 3,500 30 St Paul Board of Education St Paul 3,401 31 Mayo Clinic Hosp-Mthdst Campus Rochester 3,304 32 General Mills Inc Minneapolis 3,100 35 Fairview Health Svc Minneapolis 3,000 36 Medtronic Inc Minneapolis 3,000 37 Prudential Financial Minneapolis 3,000 38 Stanke Supply Co St Paul 3,000 39 Travlers Insurance St Paul 3,000 40 U.S. Bank Branch St Paul 3,000 41 Regions Hospital St Paul 2,918 42 Star Tribune Media Co LLC Minneapolis 2,814 43 M Health Fairview Univ-Mn Med Minneapolis 2,788 44 CHS Inc Inver Grove Hts 2,500 45 Marsden Bldg Maintenance LLC St Paul 2,500 46 Wells Fargo East Corporate Minneapolis 2,500 47 United Hospital St Paul 2,265 48 Human Services Dept St Paul 2,200

A. When you get a new one-sie (yep, just like a baby), store it until wintery times. It's newness will keep you cozier when its cold outside. Wash it enough to go thinned-threaded by the time it gets warm out. B. Any pen/pencil flap is removable with a sharp Infidel. Also, all that extra pocket velco in the 2-piecers is removable in the same manner. Sheesh, it's like teaching problem-solving 101 here. Out
