Cast a wide net mentality

Servicing a gun with a round in the chamber is negligent unless you’re in active combat.

There’s no context provided, but I can’t see any situation where you service a loaded firearm and point it at your thigh.

Costs money to rip and replace existing infrastructure. Counties and cities with less income can’t afford to make such drastic changes unless it’s a higher priority than the other 25 things that need funding

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t be in 3rd gear at 20mph in a modern turbocharged car.

For my car, 20mph is roughly 2500pm in 2nd and 1700rpm in 3rd. I don’t like to live below 2000rpm because I don’t get spooled up that low.

These calls aren’t necessarily rare, but they aren’t routine if that makes sense.

Avoiding miscommunications and de-escalating tensions is the entire point of these lines.

I remember reading a story about US military leadership contemplating striking a target in Syria a while back. Russians (mercenaries or regular armed forces) were suspected to be operating in the area, but their generals denied presence on this emergency line, so the US bombed away. Russians ended up among the dead, but their leadership denied sponsorship, so this wasn’t necessarily a “US targets and bombs Russians” event which could lead to general warfare.

Can’t imagine many news publications are offering competitive job offers.

Job hunting isn’t that great at the moment

The pay ranges from $20 an hour for junior employees to around $38 an hour for senior employees. Add in overtime and some people push $200k per year.

Nobody is really capped at $79k yearly

Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.

Quantity is a quality of its own. I’d say Ukraine is hanging on with advanced weaponry. It needs the mass to push Russian troop advances and repel their forces out of their country.

Anything else is keeping the status quo of roughly even wins and losses, which will never lead to victory in the next decade.

Curious - what does this comment chain look like? Is the parent comment something like “blocked,” or is it just blank?

$9 for a single load is criminal

How’s it inventory stacking up over there? In the US they’re sitting on a lot of cars

“Well grandma was a little racist at times”

I honestly don’t know if this would be like letting toddlers run a daycare or if it would be paradise.

It’s a little weird when a Civic Type R has the same markup as a Telluride or Sienna

That’s why I lift with my back. It’s so strong I don’t even need to feel my feet for several hours out of the day

Zero down may be the only way a family can afford to buy a home. In a time where older starter homes are north of 300k, we’re asking families to save 60k cash to get to 20% down. That’s about the median household income.

If you’re able to save 10% of your paycheck (after taxes), you’re going to spend about 10 years saving for today’s price. Which will likely be much lower than next years price.

Here’s the charge sheet. I think general orders in this context are service-wide instead of local orders.
