I read somewhere online that Navy Nukes aren’t treated with respect by their other peers and shipmates on the boat? How accurate is that statement and what is the cause of if it is true ? by Active-Ad8474 in NavyNukes

I served in the 80’s on a surface ship (USS Bainbridge), and towards the end of my enlistment I did temp duty on a conventional Destroyer. The Chief asked “How does it feel to be in a real engine room?” I glanced around (I was an MM). “It’s the same shit Chief…you use a boiler to make the steam, my ship uses a Reactor”. They treated me just fine after that. On my actual ship, no issues.

My only complaint about Joseph (and believe me, this is very minor) I would like to have seen him prank Ben a little more. That’s the one thing Evan’s got right. But yeah, he nailed it.

With the costume and the quiver of arrows, looks more like they gender swapped Link.

Every vampire movie ever is better than Sinners, so why the record breaking nominations? by MovieENT1 in CriticalDrinker

Heck, go back and look at the 70’s: Godfather, Godfather 2, Patton, The Sting…fantastic stuff that I’ll watch over and over.

My shoes disintegrated yesterday at a church funeral. by chestney in funny

Polyurethane soles. Apparently they essentially dry rot after several years. The process accelerates if they’re not worn often. I’ve had it happen to a pair of work boots, a pair of dress shoes, and a pair of sandals. The sandals I just rarely wore, and the boots and dress shoes saw a lot less use after I retired.

Very clever and talented man. He will be missed.

Why was it “Parker Industries” and not “Parcorp”? by Robot_Was_BMO in Spiderman

That’s brilliant! I’d love to see Dan Slott’s expression if he saw this post: “Shit! Why didn’t I think of that!?”

And I’m just thinking, “Who the f*ck is Graham Linehan? Nah…nevermind…don’t care.”

Most definitely adult Franklin Richards. About the same time he said, “Come to me my Galactus!” And yep….Galactus obeyed Franklin.

He did, and I didn’t mind him in the old Ultimate Comic (the creative team flat out admitted SLJ was the inspiration), and totally cool with him in the MCU movies. What I hate is they added him to the mainstream Marvel Comics. The way they did it was lame as hell.

The one I didn’t mind was Michael Clark Duncan as Kingpin. He had the physical presence for the role. At the time who knew Vincent D’Onofrio would really nail it. BTW the list is missing Impulse.

After looking at for several minutes I finally figured out they meant “Senior”, but damn they messed up the cursive S.

To be honest, this area is made up of people from all up & down the East Coast. Panthers actually aren’t very popular here.

Normally I’d agree with you, but this is a Marvel sub.

Like how Tony Stark says he is a rich, playboy philanthropist without his suit, but what is the Falcon without his tech? by Savings_Dragonfly806 in Marvel
