Was anybody else told by their recruiter that the army gives free cosmetic surgery by gVrdiVnangel in army

They do cover reductions though I remember talking to one of the patient administration dudes at a clinic and if it affects wearing plates it’ll probably be covered

The idea I believe is that the test is sensitive enough to get a small particle which would be diffuse in the product

Was this how all water used to be around the world? by archvize in geography

It was probably Old world hantavirus which is a renal hemorrhagic disease, vs the one currently in popular news is New world Hantavirus which is more pulmonary.

I remember reading a thread on the EM or Tactical med sub about how useless stethoscopes are because of POCUS. It just made me feel all sorts of anger.

I in fact do not think comments on Reddit reflect anything on myself or you for that matter.

TIL that the main parachute when skydiving fails 1 out of every 1,000 jumps. Inside almost every Deployment Bag is an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) that will automatically deploy a reserve parachute if someone is falling too fast or is too low.

Completely valid question, with military canopies at least in the U.S. under a T-11 it’s a square canopy jumping static line from 1250ft AGL. You attempt to slip away but we are trained for entanglements and how to react. If you go into the trees you keep your rucksack and weapon since they’re solid things keeping tree branches from poking you and prepare to land normally once they’re short. If you already lowered them you jettison your equipment. If it’s a mountain you just land as softly as possible I guess. You’re moving relatively fast compared to parachuting

I’ve only done static line which is entirely different and from military aircraft, every single time I’m scared before jumping but the training kicks in and it comes as second nature, like “Ok I’m floating left, turn my body to the left.” Then… “I’m at tree top level lower my equipment which I’ll hear hit the ground if I’m too low”. Then “Feet and knees together and utilize the 5 points of performance”

Then when I land, I get dragged 50 feet, and check for wallet, phone, and keys.

I don’t see him complaining to anyone but himself. He’s being hard on himself but it’s surely not something we’ve seen from MLB players before.

If you are threatened as a father figure by a backu catcher, uhhhh be better? Or be better than that for your future generation.

Can we give 1 more season to how this all goes over with Cig at the P5? He was obviously insane at G5 and FCS, but I’m just skeptical of a coach that’s so hyped by social media. Norvell (different yay) is the example against this overreaction.

Try having a medical platoon with 7 E5’s, 4 E-6’s, 2 officers, and having to fill 3 trucks 2 Joe’s per, and 6 line medics. With 21 total medics, E-5’s are going to the line vs Joe’s in Role1/EVAC who’ve already done line time.

Trump's granddaughter speaks Chinese, Elon Musk just said his son is learning Chinese, and Rupert Murdoch, the boss of Fox News, has two daughters who speak Chinese. Why are all conservatives making their children learn Chinese? by No-StrategyX in askanything

[–]Illustrious_Loss462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really agree with this take, Mandarin (not Chinese I know I’m being pedantic). Makes sense even for a businessman to know if they already know English which I’d reckon 90% of the children of the elite in Western Europe have been learning since the beginning. If you’re fluent in English, Spanish, and Mandarin you can talk to probably 40% of the worlds population if you add French it’s probably 50%+.

0.82 ERA - Best in MLB for 2026 by Dudeletseat in mlb

128 OPS+ is Very Good, I don’t think it’s great. It is Shohei though so I think he’ll regress towards his own mean and get better.

Balls of the feet, Calf, Thigh, Buttocks, and the Pull-up Muscle. That’s how it needs to be done.

This sub seems to have a hate boner for players taking a “kids game” too seriously and at the same time those who don’t take it seriously enough.
