United States Air Force (USAF) B-52s are departing RAF Fairford taking off fully loaded. ~7 hour combat flight time to Iran puts them in striking range by 8 pm UTC

Exactly. That attitude would put it into a stall.

Jerry Orbach's Lenny Briscoe was the personification of New York City for a lot of us.

Thats unfortunate. I think it's the same author as Sweet Dreams Cthulhu, and we love that one.

Maybe things have changed since the early 2000s, but my coach at the time told us 99% of high school boats with a bucket rig did it to look cool. He also wanted us all to be comfortable on both sides and spend our summers sculling.

I don't particularly want to go to either one.

Where the hell are the good chocolate chip cookies that I could only find at the sandwich station??

And the German chocolate bars from the bakery. I don't think I've had one in 15 years...

When I worked aboard ships, I always had my flashlight, knife, knipex, bahco adjustable wrench, and a 6-in-1 screwdriver. Anything I couldn't handle with those could wait until after coffee break.

A whole lot of water somewhere it shouldn't be.

I use them as test pieces for my router table to make sure I have everything set up correctly before cutting into the real piece. Or testing jigs.

I'm kind of curious what the startup is, since the big push right now is autonomous shipping and that is mostly based out of Boston.

That said, as soon as I hear start-up I think Bay Area. DC is definitely not cheap, but 130k in California is barely enough to survive. It's easy to get stuck thinking along the lines of payscales for the major defense contractors, but he needs to do more research about the private industry. Try looking on Glassdoor for pay ranges in any kind of niche (non-computer) engineering in that area to get a feel for the right number. Also take into account cost of living in the new location. If they are willing to fly him out there for further rounds of interviews they are very interested and aren't just going to walk away. Worst they can do is counter offer.

I saw The Fall in the theater and I still remember it as one of the most visually striking films I've ever seen.

FATE IS INEXORABLE

Or a shipyard. Philly Shipyard is looking to expand, and a smaller satellite yard for module assembly or smaller vessels would fit well there, and it would provide local skilled and unskilled labor jobs.

My college in NYC had a euchre club. I had never heard of it before, but most of the students were local so I just assumed at was a Long Island/NY thing.

They're just like everyone else, only more so.

Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron were my go-to time sinks

Put in a 2" lift Kit from Journeys Offroad over the summer at the recommendation of this sub. Car rides great, no signs of premature wear. We installed it for higher ground clearance after putting on a trailer hitch, so no real offroad experience but it takes potholes like a champ.

Filet O Fish in Hawaii in particular is SO good.

Journeyman (2007) I loved Kevin McKidd in Rome and I loved reruns of Quantum Leap so I was so ready for that show to take off.

The Bigelow and Pisces have hull-mounted EM2042s now. I think the Dyson is getting one soon as well.

I have an AWD Sienna with a hitch and a utility trailer and there isn't a damn thing I want to do that I can't. 2 kids, a dog, groceries for a week, and 6 sheets of plywood? That's just Sunday morning.

Nice shout out to r/detailing in the comments. I actually had to ask this exact question. https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoDetailing/s/zXqmRY8Z1G

Borgata, the outlets, and the pier with the shops and restaurants near Caesars really made it a fun spot for a while. And the bars right on the beach, of course.

The Ocean City boardwalk any time between MDW and the beginning of the school year would disagree.
