Wait, are you fashioning a working mini-parrot gun?

No relation, and I never did Commissions defense, but he must be a handsome rooster!

That and The Castle were absolute shocks re: Bana.

Chopper itself was a wild ride, and “did himself a mischief” has retained a prominent place in my verbal arsenal.

I didn’t see Chopper until I lived in Australia.

There was a “call me daddy” joke right there, but just typing it made me cringe and I am a coward.

Anyway, great album.

Easy to say, harder to do.

Being a national security lawyer is not super marketable unless you work for the nation or folks selling them stuff.

Also, small ball, but the time to fiddle with your magazines is not after the “pursuit” has started, hoss.

These fat, untrained losers aren’t the einsatzgrupen, but a fun historical echo: one of the reasons behind shifting to mechanized killing for the Shoah (versus mass shootings early on) was that the workforce was consistently reported to be staggeringly drunk to cope.

What are folks looking to pivot supposed to do?

Fed hiring is… off the table. 30% of jobs are illusory, & heaps of those that are not seem to be defense VC/vaporware.

Neither flannel nor forearm, but say more about this.

2/4 rotors so far. I had to drill them out/resort to “can’t be seized if it’s liquid.”

Also the engineer who set the torque specs on this little sumbitch can jump into the Baltic in February.

Honolulu’s rail project (not a true monorail) has many of these features (above ground, electric) and is… not wildly successful so far.

Mayor Rick Blangiardi says the city must overcome "almost two decades of negativity and cynicism."

Fair, tho Akbar at least seems to be somewhat mentally ill.

The fact he was much less effective balanced against the fact he did that shit in a war zone on the eve of combat ops…

Hassan for the military folks.

Too soft for the RSTAFF, let alone a batt.

As someone who dug line on the “Jesus Saves” fire (billboard near the highway turnoff) a long time ago, glad to hear there’s standardization now.

That’s fascinating, I hadn’t thought of this outside narrow professional lanes (military ops, wildfires).

Also reckon cartography runs up against this, given the old timey habit of naming stuff “[slur] Mountain” and such.
