I think it’s laughable that Senators are now decrying the Postmaster General...after confirming him unanimously 89-0.

But OP, again, if you don’t want to “spend time in a vault” and have to brief/debrief for a lot of time versus the time actually spent in flight and be held accountable for your performance please stay away from ACC/AFGSC.

Pretty soon we’ll be behind on the mineshaft gap.

7-day opting does force you to set a separation date, and from what I remember reading of the regs a few months ago you cannot PC with a separation date. You’d have to Palace Front at that established time. I’ll check tomorrow.

I believe it is used by Soviet bloc countries in the Indian Ocean to conduct special operations and anti-surface warfare. It has a wide range of capabilities, to include detecting and tracking carrier groups as well as employing the Exocet ASM.

That is a terrible list for not wanting to spend time in a vault.

NASCAR is dumb, but the “boring” that brick talks about is a legit critique because F1 has the potential for much more strategy implications if they a) forced the teams to use softer tires so that two stop was a more probable thing (like this weekend where you get an unlikely bold strategy to work), or b) had different rules with respect to the aerodynamics so the wake wasn’t so huge that it’s a nearly static sport because no one can get close enough to pass (or afford to research the car to compete). Even F1 has figured out they need changes because they’re too static during races and have one team who has won everything for like 8 years; that’s the whole force behind the rule changes. It’s sometimes brilliant right now, but it has the potential to be much better. Or you could get on the thread just to nay-say whatever brick says, which is as boring as NASCAR.

I cannot explain the why, but motorcycle racing has no draw for me despite the time I will take to watch F1.

Yep. I thought we had kinda gotten better about this in the last few years, and then I watched a person in our wing who is tactically dangerous and useless, who prioritizes qweep above flying at all junctures, and essentially needs as much flying oversight as a CGO that you give to senior officers get pushed for tons of awards and receive a top push line.

What economic indicator would you use, and how does the DJIA relate to the free market being a more sound judge of economics than the government since the DJIA is only 30 companies and not the entirety of the concept of the free economic market of capitalism?

How are they doing?

When I was looking down the list of candidates on the ballot in the spring on issue X their positions were all the same. Then again on issue Y. And Z, and so on. It was disappointing.

The VP candidate choice does have a lot riding on it in many people’s mind. Unfortunately, from my perspective, he’s started his consideration with the 17 assembly line robots that were in the primary. Hah, I can’t imagine what whackos rise from the woodwork for the next Republican candidate, but I think if I’m the Democrats, Tim Scott is what I’m maneuvering against.

And? I don’t care about the things the Dems can’t control, I care about the thing they do, which is their nominee. And they fielded 17 robots with exactly the same view on nearly everything (that are unlikely to appeal to anyone slightly right of center), a socialist hack who scares the moderate Democrats, and a guy who they can’t bring outside.

Democratic party center of mass is not median that appeals to people on the right. He also can’t complete a sentence.

Likely.

Mmm, maybe, but ^ this is what’s actually keeping Trump’s re-election alive. WTAF Democratic party? All they had to do was offer a median candidate that appeals to a broad base that is still mentally coherent.

It’s super easy to sit back in your home country and hack a website.

Time. While there are waivers for everything, things like TPS and WIC have TIS windows, and typically FAIP puts you behind the curve.

I sincerely hope if that’s the case, they roll up the assholes with the high powered lasers first.

Aw jeez man, really got me with that one.

Wait, your edit was for punctuation? Should try again for coherence.

Why did they censor the tail code. It's not like they're everywhere. Exactly. Did you not get the new SecAF OPSEC email at 4:30 on a Friday telling us worker bees with so many ties to the media to stop leaking info?

I am trying to figure out why a specific party at a specific time has stopped an attempt to potentially work towards improving the situation. I’m not too worried about Clinton or Reagan, they’re not legislating now.

So the common ground of moral fabric generally dictates the laws of the government. Right now one grievance is improper/inappropriate/downright bad policing at various levels (local/state/federal), which aren’t meeting the expectations of many people. I thought at first glance Tim Scott’s (R) policing reform proposal from a few weeks ago looked like a good start, but the (D) wouldn’t even let it be debated from what I understand. So that makes me skeptical that the (D) party takes reform seriously. Brawnie I think it was you who alluded earlier to something along the lines of a UCMJ for police to increase accountability. Since the organizations are so varied I’m not sure that’s practical, however it is currently very difficult to hold police accountable to a high standard against the laws that currently exist due to union arbitration agreements. Even when a policeman commits what would otherwise be a crime in some instances, due to the governmental agreement with the union the court is bound to the arbitration process instead of further legal action. Essentially sweeping things under the rug. I think reducing the power of these arbitration agreements in disciplinary actions when there is an allegation that amounts to a crime would be a step in the direction of holding people to a higher moral standard. As we in the military are subject to the UCMJ because we have been entrusted to do violence on behalf of the people against enemies in upholding the constitution, hold police truly accountable to existing laws since they are entrusted with using violence to protect and defend the people domestically. From where I sit, those with the biggest share to lose, if you will, are police unions in this push. Which party has police unions in its pocketbooks, and which party has recently not taken policing reform seriously via holding people accountable? (D). This is admittedly the conspiracy paragraph, but it’s plausible.
