That is not the US method unless you're stupid and/or the victim of massive cranial trauma.
PEMDAS
PARENTHESES GO FIRST 4+3 is 7 times 7 is 49.
WHEN DID PEOPLE GET SO STUPID

Which method were you taught? 🤔

@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.
English
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.
English
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
English
@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.
English
Deck guns are underrated.
And guess what? They can shoot down drones too.
And battleship can cary a lot more deck guns.
They are not obsolete.

Pretty cool that they de-engined it from 3 miles away without even sinking it
English
@Andre_YMKYMFOI @johnkonrad I don't think the Navy was angry. The USCG has been using deck guns to sink ships since 1790.
English
@johnkonrad First time fired in anger at a ship at sea since 1988, it appears.
English
@lemah_c_j @johnkonrad A BL&P round would easily penetrate the ship's hull doing damage to vital machinery.
English
@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,
English
@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.

I’m willing to take the other side of this bet. And I’m not a bettor…

Jason Oppenheim reveals EVERYONE will be able to afford private chefs, maids, the best healthcare in 10 years due to AI👀 “Everyone within 10 to 15 years will have a Michelin star chef, a maid, babysitter, a dentist, and the best physician in the world”

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.
English
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”

@Cryptowynn76791 @JaneotN Being a "Rebel" has nothing to do with the Confederate battle flag.
English
@JaneotN It has nothing to do with racism, it's the school mascot you dumb shit. Try researching before you make yourself look dumber than you are!! It took 1 minute to find!!

@BuckSexton All former high school drama students who are still waiting for their big break.

If you checked all these guys, you'd see they have an average testosterone level equivalent to that of high school girls

They look like a bunch of freaking retards

🚨 JUST NOW: US Capitol police handcuff and REMOVE veterans who staged a protest inside the US Capitol building against President Trump's Iran war Someone should tell them Trump is saving America from terrorists who've been at war with us for DECADES and were moving toward a NUCLEAR WEAPON And he is ACTIVELY moving to get Iran to cave right now to ensure peace. 🇺🇸

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