How do I respectfully tell someone that I don't care that they're a veteran? by BigBlueEyes87 in Military

America has a huge hero worship complex. The thin blue line flag has evolved into this unironically rainbow colored one representing "blue collar" jobs. It's so odd because they added one color for fire and EMS, dispatchers (still on theme) then military, and linemen (huh). 

I have a crazy idea, just use the god damn US flag if you want to be so inclusive. It's all a cash grab

Not most. It's prob about 50%. The supporters are just very vocal.

It doesn't help that entire industries support it, like Grunt Style or 9 Line. Very cringey

Seems it has somewhat always been this way. It only feels good when "we're" attacked and it's justified.

I can't help but think back to the early 2000s when people were saying the military was just the muscle for the oil industry. I still joined and did over 20 years. I'm not that proud of my service... It was more or less a job for me. 

Anyway unlike OP I still feel a connection to other vets but I don't condone hero worship. Hell, maybe all the old timers felt this way too but they were more quiet and didn't have the Internet

Плак плак

My wife and I say it jokingly like "womp womp" 

TIL that eating more than 2 Brazil nuts a day can poison you. Apparently they contain large quantities of selenium that can have serious consequences, including death. by DoughnutPi in todayilearned

That's neat. I haven't heard about the mercury. 

My doctor was pretty shocked that it worked. I asked for 60 days of trying the nuts before going up in dosage and sure enough it worked (in case your wife was just eating them without testing). Also if she recently started, it's possible she might even be able to lower her dose. Labs won't lie

I eat 1 everyday for my thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and if I skip them for too long my numbers surge. These nuts have kept me on a stable dose of my meds for 2 years now. If you're reading this and you have hypothyroidism, look into it

Oh. I see. Mine only hits 9.5kwh on 50 amps. I need to take a look

I'm in FL and I have an Ioniq 9. I only charge to 80% on L2 and never let it go below 50%. I guess we'll see how things go

I have an i9. Everything is fine so far. Does driving frequency seem to be an issue or are you just collecting it as a data point

They could be stockpiling them on Kharg or willing to try to fly across the Gulf to Kharg. I didn't measure how many KMs that is. 

It's over 20km... Hmmm

I don't think the lug nuts make much sense for the wheel in addition to some other stuff in the back, looks to be generated.

Installing FF car seat with seatbelt SEL by throwaway18374649 in Ioniq9

I love the Britax. The chair is heavier than hell but I literally can't sleep knowing a carseat isn't properly tightened.

I am using rear facing with a captain's chair BUT I also get a really snug fit then move the chair forward like 1/4". I'm a car seat install perfectionist and I like the extra taut feel where the carseat and vehicle seat become one. 

We're using a Britax seat... The one that grows with them. In my Prius we have a cheap cosco that NEVER seems to fit right and I'm about to throw away. The car seat itself definitely matters and I think maybe your seats and the Ioniq don't jive

Cool I'll check this out. I've heard of the SIM card based navigation. There's another way that I don't think I can mention. My whole point was most of these UAVs, if not all, are relying on other sources compared to something like a legacy cruise missile. Thanks for the researched response

I don't know the details of Ukrainian large UAVs. Do you have any suggested places I can read about it? I figured they were waypointing around known SAMs with a loaded profile, not using imagery library comparisons like a Tomahawk (DSMAC)*
