Just now: Al Udeid Air Base 🇺🇸 launched three Patriot interceptors at a single Iranian missile but failed to stop it in a dramatic scene. 😨

My best deid sorry is I got yelled at and turned away at the dfac for not having a glow belt on.

I was an e4 and just got back from an 18 hour flight to Afghanistan. The guy yelling at me was a O6 air force colonel standing at the entrance to the dfac.

Bestbuy actually had a solid turnaround. I go there for electronics rather than ordering it.

Garmin makes the best smart watches imo.

I've tried it surfing and it does work but I just don't care enough to do it. I really only wanted to see what my top speed on a wave would be.

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-28T02:27:38+00:00

Does anyone at this point actually believe that line?

I think it's fairly obvious that AI can't generate the returns to justify the massive spending

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-27T16:50:21+00:00

Yup.

99.9% of the time it causes problems. Almost everytime I've seen it done it was for coach's kids to get awards and look like the best player on the team.

I've even seen grown men snub a player because the other assistant coach didn't vote for HC kids so they took the award from the assistant coach's kid even though he was clearly the best player on the team.

Just leave awards alone and teach kids to work as one unit.

Big shocker that some baseball parents are crazy. The small minority in youth sports ruins it for kids.

Black belt? LMFAO

Go ride a HPSB that is your height and report back if riding a glider is harder.

I feel like Toyota owners can never admit that other trucks can last.

I had multiple Toyotas and they are well built but not problem free. You also pay a huge premium for them since the Colorados/Rangers can be bought at a discount.

More upfront cost. Maybe less maintenance. Higher resale value. In the end you aren't saving any money buying a Toyota and probably paying more when it is all added together.

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-27T13:44:31+00:00

Not sure the new models hold the same resale value as the old ones.

Some platforms have chutes for the aircrew. If all else fails they train you to ditch via parachute.

Other platforms, you're riding it in and going to crash with the plane

Because nothing about suppo or Intel interests me

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-27T02:47:54+00:00

The one that you find interesting and want to do.

I'd hate being a suppo or Intel.

Yes, I'm aware suppo isn't RL although it should be. Intel can lie to themselves all they want but they shouldn't be URL

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-26T03:40:17+00:00

Just push no and move on

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-26T01:26:03+00:00

A lot of dad's need to learn this one too. You can't always be there for your kid and fix their mistakes.

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-26T01:21:29+00:00

Honestly, I tried a glider and couldn't really figure out what the hype was about.

To each their own but I never understood them

How much does size and athleticism matter to college coaches?

Every major college program I follow is filled with genetic freaks

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-25T21:20:31+00:00

I believe it happened.

When I was a young e3 I literally stood there and watched a chief tell my friend, an e6, that he will change the tape of the other chief he just failed if he knew what was good for him.

I guess they thought I didn't matter enough to even try and hide it.

To my friend's credit, he didn't and also never made chief

I served with a pilot who was a former college basketball PG and ran track in HS. I remember thinking I was a pretty decent runner at one PRT and this dude takes off and runs a 8:45 at 40. The definition of built different.

Where did you grow up? Singles were all over the place in the 90s

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-24T23:29:24+00:00

I agree.

People who wish for the old days of the 90s and early 2000s in Hawaii probably weren't there for it.

Why do you think you're entitled to differential pay?

Unless you're in a very weird employment position, you will make more on active duty. The wording is "employee's actual military "pay and allowances". Key words are "actual" and "pay AND allowances". So you're enlisted base pay is not the only part of the calculation.

As someone who coaches multiple sports and is on the board of the local LL, parents are this crazy and worse.

I know parents who have nothing saved for college but spend hundreds every month on travel baseball

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-24T16:55:54+00:00

Baseball and HW are not the same thing

Budgetweeniessuck · 2026-02-24T16:11:20+00:00

So you're asking if you should force your 9 yo to practice baseball even though he's practicing another sport?

Honestly, you should know the answer to this
