@BDHerzinger I skipped or postponed the mandatory flu shot a few times, mainly for sports or other physically demanding activities . The shot makes me mildly sick.

In two decades of military service I've never met a person who had a moral issue with the flu vaccine.

Explain to me like I'm five why this team wasn't kicked out and the school permanently banned from participating in sports? Explain to me why they were allowed to stay, why the police weren't called, why they weren't shamed, punished and penalized? Why are the bad guys winning?

At a middle school basketball game in Southwest Virginia the opposing team showed up to their opponent’s Gym and waved Confederate flags while yelling racial slurs. The home team has mostly black players on it. Remember these are just middle schoolers doing this crap!

@greendragonhq You're right. NYC's many housing projects are all up to code.

Mayor Mamdani is going directly to residents private homes to ensure the landlords properties are safe and up to code for the tenants. Mamdani is running laps around every politician in the country at any and all levels of government. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!

@Youkahainen1 @johnkonrad My old 5in/38 shot a 65-68 lb projectile at a max range of 9 miles (18,000 yards) +/- wx conditions using 35lbs of smokeless powder. I could hit a moving surface target in 3 rounds without electronic targeting

@johnkonrad Bear in mind this means that people think 5000 yards isn't point blank range for a five inch gun, which hasn't been the case for nearly a century.

@lemah_c_j @johnkonrad A BL&P round would easily penetrate the ship's hull doing damage to vital machinery.

@johnkonrad What kind of round was used to disable the engine room? I suspect it didn't have a high explosive charge, and I suspect it was placed above the waterline and into the engineering space, perhaps into the main propulsion engine. Just a guess. Now that would be a precise hit,

@MaxNordau Technically, officers don't get discharged. They get released from active duty (RELAD). Commissioned officers are always subject to recall. Yes, I know officers get a discharge certificate.

@tparsi If the kid's father wasn't out killing Israelis or raping women, maybe he can go home and get help with his homework.

What a picture! Israeli soldiers and settlers have prevented Palestinian children from going to school by blocking the routes with razor wire. So instead, the Palestinian children take out their school books and start studying right next to the masked Israeli soldiers.

@MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine In 1776, there wasn't even a Maine. The USA didn't have any billionaires. Are the other 49 states wealthier having Maine part of the country? My stupid logic is just as stupid as Platner's.

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

@BernieSanders Good. If CVS paid income tax, it would cost me more at checkout. Why does Sanders want to take more of my money? I'm not as rich as he is

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like: Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit. Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

@Stephen7406083 @johnkonrad This ship would have a 2 stroke 6cyl slow speed diesel without reduction gears. Engine is only turning 90-120 rpms

@johnkonrad Can it still make way? If they hit the main reduction gear, it will be hard to fix.

@smokescr_n @johnkonrad Hard to see the waterline of the target. Rough guess is from 5 to 6 miles. Mk 45 max range is 13nm. Elevation would be around 65 deg depending on wx conditions to hit the deck house. A hull hit would have an elevation of about 24deg. If too low, round could skip for a hit

@johnkonrad Hey @johnkonrad - how far away would you say the American ship was when it fired? Did it move far away (after the initial warning in the audio) for fear of return fire?
