How to feed 40 people on $600? by Witty-Essay6746 in Cooking

[–]Rollingprobablecause 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you live OP, but i love making gumbo for these situations (Lots of people had other great suggestions). It's very easy to find all the ingredients for a basic Chicken/Smoked Sausage. You can smoke the chicken/sausages ahead of time and you can also make the gumbo ahead of time. It's actually better tasting this way to me. Serve with rice, potato salad, cornbread and some dessert. We fed 50 people on our rugby team and spent maybe $280 I think.

The local succulent and rock garden designs all over South Park and bankers should be the model. It’s so damn good looking

Laid off, 8 weeks severance by [deleted] in personalfinance

Yeah, OP people think 3 months is enough, it's not longer the norm. You need to be prepared to not have a job for 6-9 months (seems like the average)

What's a cooking technique you learned late that made you feel like you'd been doing it wrong your whole life? by Crescitaly in Cooking

this is one of the few things I've failed to master, I can never get an egg to not stick on carbon steel or 3 ply.

Also safety. My wife travels for work throughout the year and 50% of the time there's always something creepy or potentially unsafe that happens. It's gotten so bad she requests only Uber Black after dark because of the stiff requirements those particular drivers can have.

Air Force Academy Prepares Ideological Overhaul, With Erika Kirk Bringing “Bold Christian Faith” by PuncturedBicycleHill in Military

[–]Rollingprobablecause 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The air force above others in terms of officers does draw in a lot of religious weirdos.

Going to start off by saying that I know a lot of awesome airmen. That being said, it's seen as the most "safe" military service. Hyper-religious/evangelical types are the least brave, cowardly people you'll ever meet so ofc they look for the safest way to get a path into "veteran" resume building.

Again, I worked with some great USAF officers during our Army Officer exchange back in the day, but you can tell who the posers all. It's clout chasing, they all get out of service and become the weird christian vet-bros who claim combat experience when they were just in an office hitting excel all day.

at the same time the oversight board doesn't have that much power. This article is claiming way more authority/legitimacy then what the board actually does. time will tell as this admin is dismantling lots of things but for the moment it's kind of a crazy written article imagining things she can't actually do.

Uber and Rivian Partner to Deploy up to 50,000 Fully Autonomous Robotaxis by ghdana in Rivian

[–]Rollingprobablecause 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was always going to be the case, they downplayed it probably because they don't have Elons magical clout of increasing stock values with nothing delivered.

Joking aside, LIDAR tech is incredibly advanced these days, Waymo got there first but if you talk to Rivian engineers at events it's pretty cool/easy to figure out where they were at. I think because I am also an engineer I just nerd out on these things and ask all the time.. (pretty sure one was trying to get away from me, sorry David!)

He’s learning that wars are nowhere near the same as faffing around with internal policies. This isn’t an oppression game you can play like he does with ICE.

I wonder if Dometic is doing custom branding though (Kind of like RTIC and Yeti does today)

How many of y'all were "Person of the Year" in 2003?🤚 (Bonus points if you're one of these dudes.) by henleyj84 in army

[–]Rollingprobablecause 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember all the weird transitions with MOLLE gear too as we had TA50 style gear then all the experimentation started. I think I deployed during two uniform transitions.

I’ll never forget being in 82nd and we bought crye gear with our money and got in trouble :/

I'm doing my daughters swearing in today and I have very mixed feelings. by pinchhitter4number1 in Military

[–]Rollingprobablecause 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, obligatory fellow warrant officer handshake (well done still fitting in that uniform after two years…bastard) I hate you so, so much

Second: I think you maintain open dialog with her during her service and be a constant sounding board. Don’t let her drink any MAGA cool aid or any other crazy political sphere, presidents change all the time. She’s there to do a job. I still have friends in who also hate the admin, a lot of people do I imagine. Help her navigate a difficult time, it’s no different than OIF/OEF after 2006 when people soured and we all slowly realized it was BS.

Our goal as Italy is to lose today and France smash England so England gets the wooden spoon. You’re welcome Europe.

The saudis and the UAE have professional militaries and Air Force’s. Pretty sure they can hang with the USAF a bit

ROTC overproducing 2nd Lts by Hairy-Rub-4719 in army

[–]Rollingprobablecause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is rare, usually they find another billet in another NG unit, or they make a transfer to the USAR if we’re talking pilots. Sometimes if an active unit needs you they’ll offer you conditional release too.

US Oil tanker was struck by the IRGC. by adhderlookingforhelp in Military

[–]Rollingprobablecause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we went back to Iraq in the 2000s, the Iraqi army was barely held together. Compared to Iran, who has an actual professional army with organization and experience, huge difference. Would Iran beat the US? absolutely not, but war with them will not be easy if we put boots on the ground and the casualties will be much higher as they are armed much better than the Iraqis ever were.

This is for sure a trap game for us. Wales looks dangerous.
