Hopefully it would’ve just been “[full name], an [occupation] from [city, state]”, but I suppose we never know

If it was meant in a “lay off me” or “get off my back” way, I think “stop busting my balls” would be an accurate translation

Could that be translated more colloquially to “stop busting my balls”?

A reasonable skeptic is actually a smart one.

Yeah maybe. But neither you nor the Brainworm driving the RFK Jr. skinsuit are reasonable skeptical. The Brainworm has decided that vaccines are bad, and is attempting to cherry pick much more data to try to back up his claims. And you are trying to say that behavior is valid and part of the scientific process, which it absolutely the fuck is not.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but because these are state charges, a future president couldn’t, say, pardon him and let him out whenever, right?

Similarly, Helldivers is also a prequel to WH40K

A screw, bolt, nut, etc. that could feasibly have come from the car itself

I think part of the land purchase was CAH pledging to do everything they can to slow down eminent domain claims.

Was at a brewery last night where the “bathroom” was a row of sinks, and then a row of doors labeled “sit” or “stand”. The commode cubicles were full length walls and doors, totally private, and this just makes so much more sense to me

Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat

Even if someone has used it only once, even if they just tried it, they are ineligible for military service.

Well that’s just false. You’ll get denied if you pop hot on a drug test at MEPS, but they don’t tend to care if you’ve smoked in the past, except as a barometer for if you’ll smoke in the future. And, like almost everything else in the DoD, there’s a waiver form you can fill out for it too

A “benefit” of using RAF helos is it the flight hours. Pilots typically need a certain number of flight hours every month to maintain their certs, so they’ll likely be flying anyways. Having them fly senior ministers around instead of other training flights technically is free, as the flights were going to happen anyways.

As much as I detest SpaceX and the literal child in charge of the company, their craft at least has a track record of safely bringing astronauts to and from the ISS. Boeing doesn’t even have that.

DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it’s a good time playing through it!

There’s a not-insignificant chance it was the only non-painted exhibit in the entire museum. Everything else I saw was a painting…

On a side note, highly recommend the National Portrait Gallery if you’re ever in DC.

Last time I went to the National Portrait Gallery in DC, the Hall of Presidents directly abutted the Civil Rights area.

Trumps presidential portrait (a photo, not a painting, as distinguished by the medium being listed as “inkjet printer” on the plaque) was on one side of a freestanding wall on the center of the room, and maybe 30ft away was a very large portrait of John Lewis.

The impression given was that Trump was losing a staring contest with John Lewis, which felt very apt.

So it’s not actually to the Norwegian government. The trust account for the Palestinian Authority is just located in Norway. That makes a lot more sense.

Depends on the roadkill, honestly. Deer as roadkill, especially if you’re the one who hit it (or saw it hit) isn’t too bad, because it’s already an animal normally eaten, and is reasonably fresh.

Now a raccoon that’s been on the side of the road for god knows how long…that’s a different story.

Sounds 100% on Bell then. Because I guarantee the procurement contract was written to specify exactly what mil standards the material used is required to meet, and that the prime is responsible for verifying compliance

DoD work (both civilian and active duty) tends to bind people together a lot more than other industries, in no small part due to the factors you mentioned, but also because a) the additional barriers of national security/clearance work make it only really possible to vent about work to coworkers/friends from work, b) the work can often be unique enough that only coworkers have shared experiences to bond over and empathize with, and c) the civilian side of the DoD tends to attract career folks a lot more than it does transitory people. I think a disproportionate amount (when compared to private industry) of civilians who hire into the DoD stay in federal service for their whole careers. And people sticking around their whole careers tend to invest more in personal and professional relationships in the workplace, because networking is how you get opportunities, and you never know who you might owe a favor some day (or who might owe you one).
