Duh!
Study: All-male Marine units outperform squads with women. But hey, equality or something. Like that matters on the battlefield.The study found all-male squads were faster in each tactical movement than those with both genders, according to the summary. The differences were greater when they were carrying heavy weapons and ammunition. Also, all-male rifle groups had better accuracy than integrated squads, according to the summary. And women had more injuries such as stress fractures.Terrorist Protection These must be some pretty sweet desk partitions. Pentagon to protect recruiters with desk partitions. I'll just go with the Constanza desk at this rate.
Still, "none of the military services are interested in arming recruiters," the Times reported. Why? Brass worry that shoppers at malls, as well as educators, parents and students on school campuses, might be alarmed at seeing soldiers carrying guns. "Recruiters showing up armed is not going to make either educators or parents comfortable," Marine Corps Commanding General Mark Brilakis said. Huh? The public understands: sidearms are part of a soldier's uniform and they're trained to use them safely.Insults From Around The World Probably NSFW.

The "separation of church and state" has been one of the high holy mantras of the Left, especially the ACLU. It would seem, though, that this separation only applies to Christian churches and beliefs, and do a degree Judaism.

When my mother died, and people were asked to speak during the service, there was a long silence, and then I got up to speak about her. I knew what I wanted to say, but it seemed like another person was saying it.
She is in a better place, and her struggle in this world is over. It is so hard to accept a loss of someone loved, but I am sure that your aunt would not want you to grieve about her. But none of us can help the pain and loss in our hearts when something like this happens.

9/11 wasn't an act of love, but it was an act of lust.
When I think "act of love" I think putting my family at the mercy of human traffickers and drug cartels. I wish someone at a townhall would tell Jeb "As politely as I can say it, we fucking hate you. We hate your family. We hate your face. And this dream you're trying to will into reality? It ain't happening."

Old joke:
Two friends were out comping when one of them got bitten on the penis by a poisonous snake. "Jim, help me! What do I do?!" screamed John.
John opened up his first aid book to read about snake bites. "The bite of the cottonmouth can be fatal, unless the venom is extracted within the first few minutes. Without special equipment, sucking and spitting out the venom is the only way to extract the venom thoroughly." the book read.
Jon closed the book somberly and said, "Bad news, Jim. You're gonna die."

Rush had a segment today where he said every political action today has become inexplicable, and that is sort of the way I've been feeling. I'd almost feel better if the GOP DC Cartel came out and said, screw you proles, we're all making a metric fuckton of money and stashing it in our Swiss bank accounts by doing this failure theater sh!t.

My father was a heavy smoker until he was 40. Double pneumonia for the 2nd time made him stop. Unfortunately the damage was done. Opportunistic infections further damaged his lungs to the point it put a significant strain on his heart. It killed him 30 years later, but his last 10 years were not pleasant. He had been a very active guy, but his health issues significantly curtailed that.
We used to go fishing in the mountains. He couldn't do that anymore due his breathing issues.
He loved high power matches, but I pulled targets for him because I feared the strain might kill him.
I was willing to give up an organ if it would have kept him around longer. Love and miss you dad.

Father in law was a heavy smoker, he quit about 20 years ago at age 60, but it has taken its toll. He has emphyzema, so he has to lug oxygen around now, and if he gets a cold, it can lead to pnuemonia.
Me? I was a heavy dipper for about 16 years, and I hope I didn't cause any damage, and am so glad I quit about 20 years ago.

1) isn't radio wave a form of light wave? I'm an idiot so I may be making that up
2) maybe I misread the question, but didn't it say "which of these is necessary to make nuclear power or nuclear weapons?" the correct answer being "uranium".
But that's not really necessarily correct -- plutonium and thorium would also work, right? I mean I get that those weren't options, and maybe I'm mis-remembering the question, but the phrasing seemed weird to me.
anyways, whatever. Pew can suck my nuts.
Also the astrology / astronomy thing was kind of bullshit, since it was a bullshit question -- one of those is a science and one is not. And the question was not about the science, it was about bullshit pseudo pagan spiritual "life influencing". So that was more of a reading comprehension trick question than a science question.

My father got very, very lucky.
He was a heavy smoker, but one Spring he came down ill. It developed into sepsis that spread from his lungs to his blood. They had to put him in an induced coma and pump out all the gunk in his lungs. Even then, one of the lungs collapsed. His digestive system shut down and his renal system came *this* close to shutting down... at one point they told my Mother to "start making arrangements". He had a 1 in 10 chance of living, but due to experimental drugs, experimental treatment, and that fact that he had a healthy heart, he managed to survive.
I still remember when I came to visit and they told me that they were starting to take him out of the coma, and that he could respond to basic stimulus, I immediately grabbed his hand and he grabbed back.

My problem with House of Cards, West Wing, ect. is how the McGuffin had devoured the show. Not just simplified, but the moral universe is flattened into a single metric. Characters looking and sounding important and relevant, but never being those things. A tunnel-vision that no screenwriter could afford to have.

I've wondered about that too. It's like the Pirates have some weird mental block or something. It's like they're great against any team not in their division.
I am in a quandary about this series. I just can't bring myself to root against the Brewers, but OTOH, we're not going anywhere, and I'd rather see the Bucs take the division than the Cards. 'Cause you know if it comes down to the Wild Card game, your boys will see Arrieta....
So if you win the rest of the regular season games AFTER you're done with playing the Crew and the Cards lose all of their upcoming games, well, that would be ideal

Gordon B. Hinckley, prior President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1995-200
, said:"We are Christians in a very real sense and that is coming to be more and more widely recognized. Once upon a time people everywhere said we are not Christians. They have come to recognize that we are, and that we have a very vital and dynamic religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. We, of course, accept Jesus Christ as our Leader, our King, our Savior...the dominant figure in the history of the world, the only perfect Man who ever walked the earth, the living Son of the living God. He is our Savior and our Redeemer through whose atoning sacrifice has come the opportunity of eternal life. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pray and worship in the name of Jesus Christ. He is the center of our faith and the head of our Church. The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ and witnesses of His divinity, His life, and His Atonement."

I was living on the west coast and I had stayed up really late, so when the planes hit at 8am or so in NY, it was only 5am or so on the west.
People still thought that it was a little plane that accidentally flew into the building, and that is when I went to bed.

I'd like to raise a glass to MFPS, as a loving embrace and condolence for her loss.
And another for SMFH, in solidarity of honor with those who do, and have, serve.
Finally, the most important today, to those we've lost on and since 9/11/01.

God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So when Genesis says, "In the beginning God created..." it is not leaving out any of the Trinity.
Please don't ask me to explain how one God is three Persons. I'm sure my mental picture of that is incorrect.
Yes, God allowed Satan. We all have the option of rebelling against God as Satan did.

But it's good to be a songwriter of his caliber. He was doing okay, then Madonna (of all people) did a (terrible) remake of his all-time classic "American Pie" around 1998 and marketed it as her new single. I've read that Madge's royalty check alone helped provide a new, improved, extra-comfy retirement for Don.

"Total Eclipse" is the musical equivalent of a 10-megaton nuclear bomb. It's mindbending overkill but then, that's what Bonnie Tyler was known for. "It's a Heartache," her earlier single, has the same ridiculously overwrought groove.

Yeah, they've invented this ridiculous Old Man in the Clouds and say "that's what Christians believe!"
And when you say, "No, they don't, why don't you try studying the NW and theology to see what Christians do believe," they reply that they are not going to waste their time studying a fantasy.
They're proudly ignorant of Christianity but at the same time they assert they know what Christianity is all about.
And they think they are the rational ones.

I saw them last fall and it was a good show, but no Electric Eye, Painkiller, etc. They played all the boring songs like Love Bites, Turbo Lover, Heading Out to the Highway etc. Victim of Changes was awesome and Halford hit the long high note, though.

It's okay; I don't mind questions at all. I was just referencing the fact that I don't have all the theology nailed down. My mental picture of the Trinity is a committee, and I'm sure that's not quite right.
Jesus' visit to earth wasn't to prove God's ability. Right after the fall of mankind, God had promised Adam and Eve that He would provide a remedy for sin and death. Jesus paid the price for sin and provided the way to eternal life.

The women couldn't keep up so the men had to do alot more work e.g. carrying a squad's (or higher up formation like platoon's) heavy weapon/s and ammo; needed six of them to carry wounded; the men became overly protective of the women especially if wounded and wouldn't leave them behind to do something more militarily pressing at the time, and the like.
So if Israel, whether bastion of regional democracy or evil Zionist entity!!1!1!, that has a real need for foot soldiers (even if it is to kill poor little Palestinians!!1!) couldn't make it work despite that motivation to make it work, it won't work anywhere else in the West. (Use the ZOG arguments if you're arguing with a lib-leftist on women in combat as infantry; it'll throw them for a loop.)

If you look at his personal writings, they're full of examples of those relatives loaning him money, and him then feeling obligated to act nice to them and whine at them about his financial situation until they decided to forgive that debt. At which point he'd hit them up for another loan. Which they would give him. And he despised them for it.

Agreed.
And this is from someone who carried a SAW with at least 2,000 rds of 5.56 ammo.
I was lucky to be in a mechanized unit as opposed to a light one.
Most females that serve in male-dominated MOSs such as Ordnance will tell you that most females will SUCK ASS in a light infantry unit where they have to hump 70+ lbs of gear on foot.
Easy for a chick to say that they can handle combat when they're riding around in a humvee or a MRAP, with a crew-served weapon at the ready.
Bit different at an outpost where one has to do constant foot patrols.

So I came next, and they couldn't do a thing for me. Just not the kinds of assets they're actuaried for, I suppose. But then I have "rich guy insurance" (note, not claiming rich-guy status, just a good agent), so my rates on this and that aren't really hurting me, just a lot of different coverages. That add up.
Like a rational solid citizen (read "fool") I have all the autos, the houses and buildings, and extra liabilities come due once a year instead of scattered easy installments. That way I can easily see what is what, but that one bill does cause a sharp intake of breath even when you know it's coming. If nothing else, it's a good encouragement to shop rates every so often.
I would say, if you qualify, by all means get a quote from USAA. They are competitive for most risks, and you'll feel good about doing business there, as opposed to, say, Progressive for instance. Chances are good they'll save you money, but it is not guaranteed.

I have a guy at work who is the love child of Frank Burns and Cliff Clavin. He's a blowhard who knows nothing - NOTHING! - but never stops sharing his "knowledge" with you.
He's a jackass who runs up to every new employee and starts acting like the "vet" who's gonna tell 'em how everything works. (I call this their "official disorientation.")
He applied to be a supervisor and was basically laughed off.
Then they advanced a nice young lad instead.
"Burns/Clavin" was so pissed that he stomped around all day, bitching to everyone... and finally had "an attack" and was taken away on a fucking stretcher!

Well, physics tells us that light (and all other forms of
electromagnetic energy) exists as both particles and waves at the same
time and place.

And just the act of observing it can change the results. An experiment with light photons showed that under certain conditions, the photons acted like a particle. Under other conditions it acted like a wave. The only condition that changed was the observation state.

Also, I really liked that they actually told you what you got wrong. I took an IQ test once (not a real one, an internet one) and got two wrong and they didn't provide the correct answers for those questions. Made. Me. Nuts.
I'm taking "seismic reflection interpretation" and "physics for med students who can't do calculus" this semester and will graduate this fall and get my BA in Earth and Planetary Science at the age of 50. (Which is why I'm not as active a 'ette as I have sometimes been.)

My answer comes in the form of a book suggestion, namely,'Cur Deus Homo' (Why God Became Man) by the medieval theologian Anselm. I think it answers pretty much exactly the question you're asking.

pearl harbor before we can attack iraq!
Ooooh, conspiracy theories can be so much fun! Here's the problem though...you have to believe that President Bush was both a) dumb as a sack of hair and b) a criminal mastermind the kind of which the world has never seen (insert evil laugh here). Simultaneously you have to believe that every member of the staff would pass up on the opportunity to make a fortune in the tell-all book market.
Same reason why the military did not down TWA-800, if they had someone would talk...especially if there were pretty girls or alcohol involved, because the story is always better with an audience and some dude that was TAD to the laundry would be telling the tale of how he pushed the button himself at the captain's orders.

bin ladin determined to attack america with airplanes
It's always best to hide a lie inside a little bit of truth.
Yes, there was a CIA report. It's called the President's daily brief. It's two pages, double spaced of all the shit they though was interesting enough to pass up the chain of command, and included stuff like the y2k plot to down ten aircraft on intercontinental routes simultaneously. Most of which, you'll note, never happened for any number of reasons, not the least of which is the propensity of muslims to talk out of their asses about what great things they're going to so. One line of such a report (and I don't remember what month it was) had a reference to bin laden attacking us with airplanes. That's it. That's the entirety of "Bush knew".
You'll also note, not that you stuck around to read any responses, the 'daily' part of the briefing. By mid September, he would have received 240 roughly such daily briefings, and more depending on how they brief incoming presidents (+ 60) and party nominees (+100 or so?).
Thus asserting Bush knew, is along the lines of, if I told you I had read the every verse of the Bible, you expecting me to have committed to memory the name of the third king after Hezekiah.

By the way, mortality is precisely what gives "immortality" meaning.
Just as most anyone can easily comprehend the "infinite". To be sure:
Do you have a basic understanding of what it means for something to be finite?
Oh, good, you do. Well just apply the concept of negation to the finite and you immediately comprehend the infinite.

I think once upon a time (in late 2014) I managed to get myself banned by engaging in a verbal sparring match with you. (Then I was known as _Dave_.)
I might be wrong; but I think it was probably true that it was you with whom I was exchanging rough comments.
I'm pretty sure I made a conscious decisions NOT to look back at that comments-thread because I was too frustrated to do so.
But whether it was you or someone else: I was most definitely very drunk at the time. But stupid drunkenness is no excuse.
Well, I happen to be fairly buzzed tonight too. (But thank goodness I am not knee-walking drunk like I was the time before.)
Anyway, regardless of what you (or somebody else) said that night, I don't imagine I would have gotten myself banned had I not said something _way over the top_ and inexcusably ugly.
So based upon this fair but general assumption on my part: I say that I am sorry for being a dick.
Hopefully this overdue concession of mine will not be mistaken for any kind of ass-kissing.

You have to remember, this is Ace's place.....and, as such, it is run on principles of Christian forgiveness and redemption the likes of which you won't find at other blogs. This is especially ironic in that Ace portrays himself as a secular atheist. Then, again, he's also managed to ban himself on his own blog.
And it's not like I have never been drunk here or struck-out in anger. When you feel "at-home", you sometimes forget the politeness expected of guests.
If The Powers That Be have let you back on, I hold no grudge. Be welcome and jape with us. The management, staff, and cobs are open to honest repentance and redemption. If you've snuck back in.....it's coming, and the sooner the better -- because you have not demonstrated such repentance and redemption.

Actually, I might disagree. - That seems a low ball.
Nonetheless, my expert-flutist girlfriend is ALWAYS in search of fellow musicians in Hampton Roads who are into New Music.
I don't pretend to be truly familiar with the genre. But I stay on lookout for opportunities for her. She seeks fellow travelers like I can't emphasize.
As a former member of the Hampton Road's community, if you have ANY leads: they would be so VERY appreciated.

If there's anyone who hasn't seen this series - grab your kids and spouse and watch it over the course of five nights or a week. Immerse yourselves in the story. You'll be proud to be an American.
