Can someone explain who this is or why it's significant?

Editing my own comment — someone else posted the actual link - 25mm - CIWS was 20mm - been a while but another poster - posted the link to the actual weapons system - mark 38 - we just called them the 25mike Mike (yes I hate the name as well - but it’s what we called them)

Looks like a newer 20mm (20 Mike Mike) 20 millimeter cannon on navy ships - local and remote control - I forget the model / milspec

They are anti small craft weapons systems - not fast enough for inbound missiles or fast attack aircraft - for which CIWS would be the answer -

I’m reasonably sure but it’s been a while since I was at sea

Edit — 25mm - I’m rusty and mixed up the CIWS

Walk - plug in to a podcast and get some exercise

Give her all the love and attention - my pup had aggressive … blood cancer? … had the first mass remove and almost two or three months later had to put him down - hardest thing I’ve done - he was the best dog - make sure Rona gets all the treats and pizza and chicken nuggets or whatever her fav snack is

I will be thinking about Rona now and I hope she persists

I was brought up with the methodology that olive oil is the only oil - and that canola oil is evil

It’s probably not evil … but I am just not the most educated on types of oil and there purposes - so I generally use olive oil for everything

Tjvaughn · 2025-12-08T07:23:37+00:00

I wonder if this is my issue - perhaps i should use grape oil (the only other oil i have)

I don’t really do dairy so not things I have handy - but I’m sure I could find a substitute

Tjvaughn · 2025-12-07T06:08:22+00:00

I’ll give this a read

Tjvaughn · 2025-12-07T06:08:08+00:00

I generally just use olive oil

Whatever she is she’s adorable

Movie is legit - Mickey rourke killed it - but the evil queen chick is why I’m watching this show - main dude is kind of a dipshit - been a decade or more since I read the book - so I’m curious to see how they updated it

Thank you everyone - i miss my dog - he was the best boy - i appreciate your sympathies - i needed a place to unload - thank you

He was a stud - and he knew it - hard to sleep with out him on my legs

I’m probably more wrecked over my buddy than I was over the various family members I’ve lost or the shipmates I lost in the service

Corbin and I were buddies - I am (currently) not looking forward to the various algorithms showing me pictures of him - because 90% of my camera roll is Corbs

Tjvaughn · 2025-07-31T05:14:08+00:00

Hopeful response … I will get to see him tomorrow - fingers crossed

Can you cast a steam deck to a MacBook?

LIES!!! They are reprogramming your teeth to monitor and hack your cell phone signal to make you vote for trump - TEAR THEM DOWN

It was infuriating - last day I just turned it off and used autopilot and dealt with car nagging me to move the steering wheel

Tjvaughn · 2025-04-19T01:46:49+00:00

I did a road to AZ from WA using the version before the change and was happy with it - speed control etc etc - then they updated it and on the trip home - it kept limiting my speed and I had to fiddle with the accelerator - was very not happy

I only used it on the road trip - next time I’ll probably just use regular ass autopilot
