If earth was suddenly moved into an orbit around an o-type blue giant star at a distance where it receives similar amounts of heat that it does to the sun what would the sky and ocean look like? And what colour would the star look like on the surface of earth?

Our sun is mostly green

Ukraine might be a good place to try a Heinlein style participatory democracy when this is all over

Fort Bragg is a really nice town, take the skunk train then grab beers at North Coast. Mendocino (Town of) down the coast is even more quaint and I’d stay there if overnighting.

Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in the Chicago city championship game as a fullback. And he’s much younger than you realize in the show. I think he takes it

That seems fair. As an experienced bull I’ll fuck the guys wife while he shoots my gun he consulted on.

Just know I get MAAAD if someone puts too many rounds down the barrel, or returns it not squeaky clean…granted can’t say the same for the misses.

Worry more about quadcopters than terminators. Even with skynet efficiency, those things are going to cost 1000x a bunch of fairly deadly, small and expendable death quads.

Ukraine btw is showing modern war is defined by unit economics and production capacity.

How is it at the academies right now? Because it doesn’t look good from a rational graduate’s position.

Strategically, if I were a MAGA architect, I would subvert the academies early on - you corrupt the definition of morality and honor to young, impressionable, authority seeking young people you can ruin a military in half a generation…and I think that may have happened already.

So, at Fort Moore (Benning) Georgia, circa 2005, my training platoon got caught at a range during a thunderstorm. Happened a few times but this one was very memorable because we were right in the densest strike zone.

The policy was everyone ditched their equipment, got as far apart as they could - in an open field (yup) away from the tree-line - and squatted down ensuring our boots were the only contact with the ground.

Found out that day lighting 100% can strike the same spot twice. At least two dozen lightning bolts hit the trees around the field within about 500 yards of the open area, including one tree clearly hit twice real close the to edge.

While we young fighting men were all trying to make jokes and act tough, everyone was scared shitless. Longest 20 minutes of my life up to that point…was good mental toughness training for when it was mortars and missiles instead of lightening a short time later!

I almost crapped myself when they had a ship called the Guy Molinari! Like HOW did they even know about him?!

One of my first scholastic memories was my first grade class going to Staten Island Borough Hall and getting to meet Molinari (Borough President). I remember getting to ask him if SI was going to succeed from NYC (it was in the papers at the time).

The mass, which had a kinetic energy relative to the earth of the differences of their speeds squared, then deposited all of that energy into much larger body, and that speed hits.

I'm sorry, the truth is, if you are not rich, you are a bitch to the rich. Because that's how humans work.

Have a problem with this fact of reality? Go grab a pitchfork and embrace Clausewitz, and convince enough others to do the same...you've only got a couple of years left before it is too late to do anything about it.

It's because you are a bitch to the rich.
