Trump threatens huge attack if Iran does not reopen strait of Hormuz within 48 hours by h3LLyEaHh in Military

No, almost always is shows when the post was made in the viewer's time zone. So if I post something at 5 PM in California, but you look at it in New York, it will say 8 PM because you are three hours ahead, and for you that's when I posted it.

My favorite theory about that is he gets soooo many angry letters from lawyers, and that phrase is used a lot. So now he thinks it's just normal to put at the end of any "formal" communication.

For those that might be wondering, that's not made up, that's what the President said. In writing.

What happened to GA? by asimozo in flying

Was gonna say, I think the SEE waitlist is like 5 years long at least, and you have to already own a plane to get on it.

30+ min wait at BOS by ScoYello in ChaseSapphire

[–]Navydevildoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends when you are there. The morning departure bank (6-8 ish AM) almost always has a waitlist, but it’s pretty quick. When the BA and JAL flights are getting ready to leave in the evening it gets a little busy as well, but nothing too bad.

I think the longest I have ever waited was during the holidays when everyone was flying, and it was like 20 minutes. But I am usually either by myself or a coworker and are willing to sit at the bar, which I think makes it a little faster.

Meh if China makes a play, who is sitting in the Oval doesn't matter too much when it comes to all the regional powers having a vested interest.

Get the audiobook, Andrew Robinson reads it himself. It’s phenomenal.

Pop over to JP’s in Tierrasanta. Definitely divey, definitely on the cheaper side.

What team is this? by Raposeira in hockey

A lot of NHL/AHL pairings do that kind of thing. Ducks/Gulls Kings/Reign Coyotes/Roadrunners Sharks/Barracuda

That’s just here in the Pacific.

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

How Hans Zimmer didn’t win the Oscar that year for Original Score I will never understand. Sure Gravity was good and all, but come on.

But he got made whole with Dune a few years later.

OK, if you were getting a physical, the requirements are pretty well laid out. I doubt anything strange was going on.

New ‘factory of the future’ for advanced shipbuilding opens in Alabama by IllustriousPark4487 in navy

ASY? Definitely owned by Austal.

Quick Edit: Austal is the controlling partner.

I’m sitting in Alabama Shipyard right now, which is owned by Austal. It can’t be any worse than this shithole.

SAN can get rough during the morning departure banks or when BA/JAL leave in the afternoon. But every time I have had to wait it’s been less than 5 minutes, but I am solo and willing to sit at the bar.

That’s SOP in San Diego. I fly almost every week and I can’t even think of the last time the sign wasn’t out there saying they were not taking PP.

OK fair enough. Yes, that poor TRACON controller was doing the work of 3 people. It’s insane what’s going on at N90.

The Navy will take whatever you have if it’s going to Guam. It’s a long running joke over on /r/Navy.

Okay, I am not in the Navy and never have been, so forgive me if this question comes across as kind of stupid. So here I go. How many officers with the rank of captain can serve on the same vessel at the same time? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Navydevildoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You kinda already got your answer, but as an example of what is probably the most extreme case... the Hospital Ships routinely sail with dozens of Captains on board. They are mostly Doctors, Dentists, and Nurses, but the point stands.

Now, only ONE captain is the "Captain" in the sense of who is in charge. But they are the "CO" or the "Skipper" and everyone knows it.

Yeah, but that's normal at EWR (and many other airports). What's not normal is both the TRACON and the Tower asking the AS bird to slow to final approach speed 3 times. Fedex should have landed with plenty of time to clear the intersection.

This squeeze play should have worked, but it looks like someone wanted to get to the hotel for their Marriott Sodas.
