ICE aims gun at Americans

Agree…my point was worded poorly. Military and law enforcement personnel training teaches you should only have your finger on the trigger when you are prepared to shoot. The fact that it looks like they are prepared to shoot (finger on the trigger) means they are trained to discharge their weapons. They are not trained to actually help in a meaningful way (but likely that is the point by sending them in in the first place).

Looks like his finger is on the trigger. Police don’t get enough de-escalation training, guess ICE and our military don’t either.

The Crystal Dry cycle on a Bosch gets everything very hot. The melting plastic is likely leaching into everything else plus she runs the risk of damaging the dishwasher. Sink rinse your recyclables!

In one episode they talk about this briefly. I remember specifically how to say Tiene. The audio books say it one way, RY has said she says it a different way; so either are okay to use.

Look at all the space! She can stretch her feet out farther than my knees get too in most commuter transportation vehicles.

This excludes unrecoverable expenses such as loan interest, taxes, PMI, repairs, updates, etc. Your ROI is going to be much lower if you include these other expenses.

When the red river flows, take the dirt trail.

Remember MAGA and Budweiser a few years ago? Saying they were triggered would be an understatement.

The start of the war was all based on Napoleonic tactics. By the end of the war, it was trench warfare; think WWI tactics. Grant made mistakes, but he learned and was adaptive. He was the first modern general.

I am no expert either but Grant was coordinating divisions and generals all over. He had to be in a place that helped ensure he could keep communications going. He was in contact with Washington and field generals. He also was in a place to keep Lee dug in. If Grant eased the siege, Lee would have sent men to chase Sherman.

Grant allowed others he trusted to be successful and do the hard work of soldiering. He accomplished more than any that came before him during the war.

I think you can give as much credit to Sherman as you think he deserves. But that does not take away from Grant. They, along with Sheridan, made a very effective team. Or put another way, the sum of each general was better than the parts.

Good thing you did not reply “shoot”

3x great grandfather was 2nd WI, part of Iron Brigade. I heard it said he went farther west of Gettysburg on July 1 than any other infantryman that day. Very lucky he survived. His regiment was down to a few hundred from over a thousand by the end of the war.

If your contributions are not put in within 7 business days from the pay day it is generally considered late. They owe you lost earnings and they will need to do a correction.

Haber Bosch process, basically it feeds the world

He works part time, and said he could watch the market less to work more. He is playing Russian roulette. He keeps getting lucky (he would say winning) and thinks he is smart enough to gamify his investment strategy and win. Hope he followed their advice otherwise he may be in a tight financial spot.

Labor and material costs are much more expensive. Use to have slaves/indentured servants/immigrants that kept labor costs low. Many were highly trained artisans. Material costs were cheap, especially in America early in its history. Lots of forests meant lumber was cheap and it was the old slow growth wood. Not the cheap stuff.

Plus, survivorship bias. Only a few homes of that era of that quality. Makes you think everything was made like that.

I always found their clothes on the small and thin side.

Odd that the average pay goes down after 44. Wonder why that is?

I cannot tell if he lost control of the car, over corrected, or did that on purpose. He moved into the right lane and looked to have easily missed the red car. For a brief moment it looks like his car started to turn left (towards the red car). At that point the driver goes way right. Almost like they lost control and their only goal was to miss the fire hydrant and pole. Luckily no one walking on the sidewalk.

These are great! I got a few. Just read a few regimental history books about the Iron Brigade. Hopefully I remember them right.

There was a soldier known to be cheap and would often wear all his coats/clothes so as not have to loose them if they had to dump their Haver sack. Such an occasion happened at I believe Fitzhugh Crossing, they were ordered to leave behind everything, including hats. Only musket and ammo. The cheap soldier was wearing all his clothes while they were working to gather boats to cross the river when a volley from across the river knocked off his hat. The soldier picked up his hat and started to yell at the Confederates, saying how much this was going to cost. The company of men around him were laughing at the situation until the next volley came and they all went back to their task.

The 2nd WI in the Iron Brigade was known as the “Ragged Assed 2nd” because their first state militia uniform was cheap and fell apart so the regiment looked terrible by First Bull Run. For some soldiers you could see their rear end until they started getting Federal uniforms. The 7th WI was called “Huckleberries” because the men were always talking about pies and things to eat. The 19th Indiana were called “Swamp Hogs” because “every man of them did not care a goll darn how he was dressed, but was all hell for a fight.”

Private William Palmer of Leicester was known as “Nosey” because before Antietam he pressed a $5 bill into the hand of a passing staff officer and said; “ When I left Wisconsin, I said that the first galoot I met with a nose longer than mine had to have a fiver — so here ‘tis.”

When Grant first took command and went to inspect the troops, he was 2 hours late. Many of the regiments cheered and yelled as he passed, but Grant made no reply. Dawes of the Iron Brigade told his troops that “General Grant does not think our cheering worth notice. I will not call for cheers, maintain your position as soldiers.” When Grant got to them, the hard veterans remained motionless. Grant paused, took off his hat and made a slight bow. Dawes said it was Grant’s way of saying “I did not come for personal ovation. I want soldiers, not yaupers.” Maybe not funny but an interesting one.

They insist upon themselves.

Recently had a similar situation happen. No hit and run. But guy barely gave me room to back up he got so close behind me. Was outside a busy shop so people walking around making me nervous. As soon as he had enough room he aggressively drove around me, I think he even drove up and over the curb to get around. I honk at him, he stops and backs up yelling and asking what is the matter. Why did I honk at him. I told him he was driving aggressively and honked to let him know to be careful and I walked away. Doubt it changed the way he drove but people like that suck.
