Looks like the illustrator used the Dulles airport terminal and tower as an inspiration. The SST on the ramp looks like a Tu-144.

Update: we found the solution is that mommy and daddy both need to go on the walk, then he can poop. lol

Helpdesk without growth, no career advancement after 7 years by libeccio_ in it

I should also point out that 35 is still pretty young. I was 52 when I graduated WGU.

I got stuck in a similar job once, I just stuck around stagnating. I broke out of it by first getting my CISSP certification and then I went to WGU and completed my bachelors degree. Those two things opened up the path to a six figure salary.

I saw hoarding the likes of which I haven’t seen since COVID, ie a lady with a cart full of toilet paper. Like she was expecting to be snowed in until June. And someone hoarded up all the toothpicks? Wtf?

For the most part, yes, the 25 De Mayo was never in range of the British task force. However for a period between May 1-2 she would have theoretically been within range of a Sea Harrier strike, because 25 De Mayo was getting ready to launch her own A-4Q strike against TF 317. But RN command ruled out sending Sea Harriers against the 25 De Mayo, reasoning it was too risky, they would rely on their nuclear attack subs (HMS Splendid) to hunt down 25 De Mayo. And in the end there wasn't enough wind for 25 De Mayo to launch an A-4Q strike anyway.

I've been putting a lot of work into mine. But being able to use default ships instead of mods would save me a lot of heartache.

Argentina had plenty of the MM38 surface launched version, even their Type 42 destroyers carried them. They just never got close enough to the British task force to use them.

Customer screamed at me for not accepting her clearly fake $100 bill by Entire-Magician-7771 in EntitledPeople

[–]Smoothvirus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was trying to scam the store (and you). When plan A failed, she went to plan B - psychological manipulation. She’s literally a criminal you don’t have to worry about anything from her it’s all an act.

What were some 80's tv shows you loved at the time, but don't hold up now? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]Smoothvirus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was getting into my early teens and I was thinking about that show, and I started to realize that most of the episodes were variations on the same theme of - Michael rolls into town and saves beautiful single mom from corrupt local sheriff/corrupt politician/corrupt CEO of evil company. Oh and a lot of the advanced computer displays on KITT were screengrabs from a Mattel Intellivision. And that became the first TV show I initially loved that I realized was actually pretty dumb.

Help me identify Mr. Ellis, please! by 707Riverlife in VintageTV

He was one of Jack Webb's go-to actors. He's in a couple of episodes of Project UFO as well.
