Writing gurus : "Write short sentences and don't use big words"
Charles Dickens in the first sentence of Oliver Twist:
"Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born - on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events - the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.

@Arkypatriot @SignalSquid @JesseMock4 It's the arriving and leaving that is difficult. My dad worked on a NS rig in the 60's when helicopters were new. They were fine in good weather, but he did not enjoy the boat rides from aberdeen.
English
@SignalSquid @JesseMock4 Just imagine what those guys that work on the rigs in the north sea go through yikes
English
Where are my Sailors and Marines? Is this true? Is it really this bad on ships?
English
@Arkypatriot I was on an LSD for 2 deployments and we never had marines sliding down the halls, but the guys on an LST (all gone now) probably did. We did have green water coming over the bow, that was fun.

I love it when I post something that gets totally misunderstood. "Imagine being an older moviegoer and seeing Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi. What the hell was this titan of stage and screen doing in a “B-movie” sci‑fi flick?" You see? It's written from the perspective of the older audience, probably taking their kids to see this stupid space thing. Spot that? I did it again.
English
No era serie B, eso es falso y pretencioso. La más exitosa película del año y prime de una franquicia exitosisima, nada de serie B
The Sting@TheStingisBack
Something we rarely consider about Star Wars (1977): imagine being an older moviegoer and seeing Alec Guinness (born today in 1914) as Obi-Wan Kenobi. What the hell was this titan of stage and screen doing in a “B-movie” sci‑fi flick? Being awesome, that’s what.

@BuzzPatterson Had to get to Rota for a little Shorty's fried rice, a Cruzcampo, and a Fortuna.
English
Once, I was flying a Navy support mission all around the Mediterranean. We were at Naples, Italy, offloaded our cargo and passengers, sucked down a cappuccino, and preflighted to fly back to Rota, Spain. The Air Force was all over us about hitting our schedule to a “T.” They monitored all departures.
We filed our flight plan, fired up all 4 engines, and were ready to blast off. We had one old civilian Italian dude driving the ground equipment away and pulling our chocks.
He. Took. For. Fucking. Ever.
Finally, I’d had it. I goosed the engines a little to let him know we were still there. Then, I let the huge aircraft creep a little toward him and his tug. If I’d only had an ooga horn to put him on blast.
Maybe it was the cappuccino, maybe I’m just an asshole. But I had fun. 😎

@EODHappyCaptain @DrunkOldGrad @boldamericanpod Fun Fact: Notre Dame used to have a shared ROTC (all 3 services) pistol range in the stadium. Apparently it's gone now :(
English
@DrunkOldGrad @boldamericanpod I imagine ROTC will have to follow collage campus rules since it’s not federal property.
West Point will be interesting
English
Will be interesting to see how this applies to Cadets at our military academies and in ROTC.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.
English
@EODHappyCaptain probably a non-issue at California bases, since it's near impossible to get a permit on the civilian side
English
Im curious to see how this will be implemented at various installations.
How many layers of approval will it take to get to the installation commander?
What requirements will each service place in order to get approval?
Will I have to take a class?

This famous photo, “Earthrise,” was taken by Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders on Christmas Eve 1968. Was the first time humans rocketed out of Earth orbit, going 10 times around the Moon & back.

Tomorrow, we launch. At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century. The next era of exploration begins.

@ontine9neo In order to be true crop dusting (not just practice), you need a target, that is, you have to do it while walking past somebody's desk, or while turning around in somebody's office (having entered for the sole, explicit, and obvious purpose of doing so).

オナラがよく出るタイプの人間です。
昔はコソッとスカしたけど、１年ほど前から「クールな顔でサラッと放屁した方がバレないのでは？」と思い歩きながらペッペッと音も構わず小出しにしている。
うまくいっていると思っていたが、
先ほど息子から「ママはよく歩きながらオナラする」と言われました。
