    When I was going through the ROTC scholarship application process, the recruiter asked me why I wasn't applying to the Academy. Told him first off, I'm going to Texas. And second, I wanted the college experience. Third, I would have plenty of military experience in the near future and didn't need to play the part in school any more than minimally required. Personally, I saw zero added value in going to the Naval Academy over NROTC. I was just as well prepared as my Academy counterparts when I got to the fleet. During my career, I never observed a meaningful difference in quality between junior officers coming from the Academy and those coming from other accession sources - and that includes the ones from aggy. If Cruz' plan is simply to help funnel folks into the ROTC program if they don't make it into the Academy, that seems reasonable. If it's just to funnel folks into the corps, well that's just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    Don't give up. Season's not over yet. He could get injured at some point next week and not technically finish the season.

    My wife insisted on buying the knuckleheads jackets to wear when it’s snowing.

    No fucking way do you punks get to claim this. My crowd was playing this on the school library Apple IIe in 20 minute time blocks when you were shitting your Huggies.

    Really liked the Choctaw storyline. Felt connected to What If season 2. Except that the whole series hinted at the family/ancestral connection. Agree on the second part. That was the only thing in the series I thought was dumb. Overall an enjoyable watch with some interesting character arcs for Maya and Fisk. It’s a nice break from the CGI-heavy Marvel standard.

    1. How else do you expect her to feed a litter? 2. Total Recall 2 really kicking it up a notch with a 4-boobed mutant.

    Finally time to jump on the bandwagon? I mean, I hope they win, but I’m still not gonna get invested.

    Plus, he's got nowhere else to go.

    Also, building a covered stadium that can handle the amount of lake effect snow they get is quite an engineering challenge, I imagine.

    Plenty of fat people to slice open if you need to.

    I had zero expectations going in and had several legit laughs.

    In the DoD aggregate, this is a rounding error, but at the service level, this is real money. At the service level, we were kicking and scratching and providing gnat's ass justification for every dollar spent. I worked with budget numbers like this and the detailed work that went into generating and executing them was extensive. I am at a complete loss as to how a service can lose sight of this amount of money. Several levels of oversight had significant failures to allow this to happen. Based on my experience working in the Pentagon, this whole situation in breaking my brain.

    Now don't let Bama come for Sark. Then I'll freak out.
  18. Guadaloopy
    Well... shit. But there are enough personal reasons for Bo to go there that I'm not gonna freak out. Time for Sark to flex.

    Only had the one mid-season stumble during '23 after a clean '22. Hoping that I'm in the early 2010s SF Giants pattern with championships coming in even years.

    Late to the game here and have only watched the first episode, but I laughed out loud multiple times.

    Recency bias for us for Astro fans.

    Opened up the 10-day forecast and saw a low of -12 next Tuesday. I'm in Tulsa. I did not sign up for this. ETA: Weather app was pulling bad data. Still looks like we are going to dip into the negative numbers on Sunday/Monday. I will still be sending a letter to management expressing my extreme dissatisfaction.
