  1. You shouldn't feel that way - at least you voted. :)
  2. A loaded question is still a loaded question. I would have still voted the same way I did. I'm done with the two parties of extreme.
  3. The Democratic party could have done things differently to have garnered my vote. And, as Jerry says, we all made our choices - and lost.
  4. "Some" being the operative word, Jerry. Consider my vote a protest vote.
  5. Agreed. This is not the future I envisioned.
  6. Ditto Joe, I spent 20 years of my life throwing my ass into the fire. Here we are in Act III of our lives and I feel frustrated like those 20 were wasted. This is not where or how we should be.
  7. Scaring/hurting children for any reason kinda sets me off.
  8. Joint Training Exercise in Texas. Bunch of SF, Rangers, Marine Force Recon get done with training and go to the local bar. Things heat up, everyone squares off, and just before the blows start; Mad Dgg walks in the center with his hands up looking at the Marine Force Recon guy and hollers, "I challenge you to a real man's contest!" Everyone quiets and he says, "Let's rub penis heads and the first one to smile loses." Everyone fell out laughing and went back to drinking.
  9. But, Keith can identify as a Trigirl :)
  10. Personally, I give two shits about TikTok. Yesterday, Trump signed ANOTHER EO allowing TikTOk to remain another 75 days. It's now China threatening to shut it down. Sounds like they might have read, "The Art of the Deal" also. It's like watching two men at the pub rub penis heads and the first one to smile loses.

    Trump

    This morning - the market has lost a third of the gain from yesterday. From my persepective, I would no more buy stocks because Trump said so than I would bitcoin from the Hawk Tuah girl.
  12. While I can appreciate the eloquence of your statement, the nature of the situation was misrepresented by the first media outlet, and the second, before a third posted the real situation. Looking at it from a different perspective, media one and two created more hysteria and fear than warranted.
  13. All true. There is no such thing as secure communications using electronics.. Ask any of the alphabets that have been hacked.
  14. It was an SPD swat vehicle. They increased school patrols after several school shootings.
  15. Afternoon, Jerry. Well, we did join the military. :)
  16. What's the difference between arguing with your wife and a knife. The knife has a point.
  17. It's security theatre at a cost of: $11.80 billion (2025) In 2015, TSA tested itself with undercover teams. They caught 5% of weapons smuggled through. In 2017, they tested it again - they improved to catching 30% of weapons smuggled. It's never been a good model.
  18. Canada. Worked during Vietnam.
  19. Why it works is; they are paid while in training. Most people start making money and they like owning thier own lives.

  21. Wisconsin Works is an interesting program. One can only be on Welfare for two years. During that two years, they must get job skills training. The state pays for childcare, food, training, etc. during this time of transition. They have additional means of getting people help . . . https://dcf.wisconsin.gov/w2/parents/w2
  22. I was jumping an Eclipse with a Icarus 365. Our rigger sewed a type of leg lift strap to put on the student's legs, so they could pull their legs up and hold them + I am 6'6" : )
  23. When I went thru the TI course; it was "loosen the lower attachments." Course, butt slide landings were frowned upon then too.
