You kids and your hos. LOL

Here's true motivation.


When Fin Doherty was 6 years old, his brother was killed in action in Afghanistan as a British paratrooper.

Young Fin decided he wanted to become a paratrooper and carry on his brother's career.

Yesterday, Fin graduated from paratrooper training and was awarded the coveted beret. But it wasn't just any beret. It's the beret his brother wore, and it was given to him by a Sergeant Major who had been in combat with his brother 11 years ago.

I went from C-rations then way later on the the MREs. BTW, the c-rations that I ate when I got out the first time in 1979 were stamped with 1944/45 on the boxes!

I didn't get sick from eating any of them. On the other hand, I could look at an MRE now and puke my guts out.

Did they ever stop issuing these? I still have mine!

...so there I was, shot down behind enemy lines armed only with a P-38 and a bad attitude....
 
Hell, a local Policeman here left his duty gun in a shitter in the court house yrs ago, found by a stranger, he went on to be elected Sheriff of the county.

Turns out being a dipshit doesn’t preclude you from getting other dipshits to vote for you. Hell, I’d say there’s evidence that it’s an advantage.

I have been to Finland over 10 times in my life...had a great time, every time.

Refuse to go back though. There is No way I don't have kids running around over there.

Bench
 

Did that once...

...when I was about 12. First thought through my head? “I hope I don’t get caught.”, mostly because I’d be embarrassed. You make a mistake like that at his age, you may as well give up on learning new things and just pay people smarter than you to handle stuff.
 
First launch from Cape Canaveral, 1950

^^This is what Elon Musk’s test rocket looked like before it blew over in the wind at Boca Chica Beach near Brownsville TX.

This is after. They tipped it back upright, removed the damaged top and folded it over. Taped it with duct tape, and continue to use it for lift-off and landing practice and fuel testing. Science. By the way, that is actually how close you can drive to the rocket launch pad. I mean it is RIGHT there, by the road. We ask if there is any planned launch before we go fishing on the beach, Then if that changes, the Deputy comes roaring down the beach and gives everyone one hour to leave. Sucks. Also the wind blows the exhaust toward SPI Resort area.
 
We are about at the limit of my high school German that was too long ago,but... Not yet and hopefully they won't . That has nothing to do with whether "Our" German scientists were luckier then their comrades who ended up in The Soviet Union.

I´m sure they were.

But talking about Germany, there were lucky times in the 80s and 90s and still going up to the millenium, but afterwards things went south and Germany is now about to become a pretty nice ****hole.
 
Milkshake Justice Warrior ...



I've pondered a system that would naturally balance things a bit more without intervening too much on what nature has in store. Hear me out.

A system similar to the credit bureau Beacon score. Any act of undesired public asshattery, felony, justice warrior, libtard bullshit - gains you these "points". Points can only diminish with time (1 point per year). 1 point equals 1 minute.

You might ask what these points "do" exactly. Well, they are Trauma Points (TP's).

If you require medical assistance from Paramedics or an ER, they must wait until the balance reaches zero before providing aid. They are not allowed to touch you until this balance is zeroed. For example, if you have a balance of 10 points, you just wrecked your Vespa scooter and have multiple compound fractures that have penetrated the skin plus a gaping head wound... They spend 10 minutes starting at you after they arrive in order to zero out your TP balance.

It's almost 2020 - why are we not doing this!?

Some of the people I treated with EMS would be accumulating another point as we treated them.
