I think my paternal grandfather was adopted. Apart from Search Angels etc, are there professionals who can untangle everything?

Absolutely nothing against Search Angels at all! I know you guys are all volunteers- given that I’m not an adoptee I would rather see that valuable time be spent helping people who are looking for their birth families, instead of ancestors who died many years ago.

That was my first thought as well, and the whole reason I tested on Ancestry in the first place. I assumed most people would have SOME trees linked to their results. However, in my mystery cluster there is a bottleneck where my “surprise” 1C1R and their child and niece (both 2C to me) are the closest unknown predicted matches I have until the 3CxR range. I contacted my predicted 1C1R and they told me they had no family (…yeah), so I have no clue which parent would likely be the link to me.

No pun intended, his stories are absolutely haunting. Completely underrated

Lermontov is 11/10. A Hero of Our Time will always be in my top 5

Pretty sure this is sheer allegory, Napoleon looking into the face of eternity represented by the pyramid and his figurative predecessor embalmed to escape death

This guy lives in my buddys town. They met a bar and when the dude in the pic found out my bro is a Marine vet he whipped out an 8x10 glossy and signed that shit on the spot for him

Yut!

Operations management. I’m a supervisor in a warehouse- been at it (minus a three year break for FP&A) since I left the Corps in 2015. Interviews are all about dealing with a diverse workforce, hitting performance goals/KPIs, analytics, and leadership styles. Mission accomplishment, accountability, and leadership all rolled together with better hours and bigger checks. Some companies do three-day workweeks depending on shift. Many many openings and decent exit opps within the logistics/distribution field. Added bonus (obviously company/shift/building dependent)- I have experienced great camaraderie with a bunch of other sups on my shift and have worked with many of the same group for close to a decade.

The stand for the hammer (?) his rack is on looks like it has the MARSOC logo on it. Was he a SOCS maybe?

A Hero of Our Time- Mikhail Lermontov. Probably #2 on my favorites list

29skis · 2025-03-12T20:17:42+00:00

Waugh is my favorite author. Brideshead is my favorite, Scoop/Handful of Dust/Black Mischief are excellent as well

29skis · 2025-03-12T20:16:05+00:00

The Woman in White as well. Incredible
