Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

All this talk about strengthening the atrophy in the shipbuilding industrial followed by cancelation of major shipbuilding programs that are sustaining whatever dwindling number of shipyards the US has left.

This is a great article. While the PLA is extremely capable, the invasion of Taiwan would be the most difficult landing operation ever attempted. There has never been an amphibious landing in the face of CDCMs. For comparison, Taiwan has hundreds of missiles and the PLAN as eight LPDs.

Mar Awa III, patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, also born in Chicago, gave Pope Leo a Cubs jersey.

Our grid is ancient because we invented electricity.

Found that posted under the US team that won the Math olympics, and some dipshit moked them for having chinese heritage: "You don't get it. This is what we do: We take the best of yours, and make them citizens, and beat you. That is the power of the USA." Hope you guys come back some day.

He got so annoyed with the state of our LL's equipment inventory (dirty, broken, no logic to sizes issued), that he took over the manager position and rebuilt the storage room then cleaned, inventoried, and labeled hundreds of pieces of baseball gear by himself (plus me & my brother lol)

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
