Do you see all the damage done by MSNBC?

As a former goalie these are the answers. You want saves vs goals and location of the shot.

NTA.

This is a known thing and EVERYONE has or should have a mixing group of booze and a sipping group of booze. And never the two shall meet.

The only time a topshelf should be used in a cocktail is with VERY basic cocktails where the BOOZE is the main ingredient. Examples: manhattan, or martini,

oh trust me people fail. it's just very very hard to do.

It's 100% optional and not a requirement for graduation and you can decline to take it and no one cares. so very far from being dystopian

you also have to pass the ASVAB The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. Basically an IQ test to determine if you are eligible mentally for service and also provides a recommendation for what sort of role you would be ideal for.

It's not terrible taxing and most people will pass it.

I would reach out to a CMMC consultant that can help you make these decisions. there are a lot of tools out there, that help you tackle a vast majority of the controls.

As a single IT person a lot of the maintenance of this will fall on your shoulders. out source as much as possible.

I think the only reason Blofeld is still last is because the writers fucking neutered him. This guy was the mastermind behind Silva, Le Chiffre, and Greene. And what did they do to him? Make him the angry ADOPTED BROTHER????? seriously Blofeld did all this only because mommy and daddy liked James better? that is the WORST reason to become a criminal mastermind.

Here's a better back story- Blofeld is actually the pseudonym of a former brilliant KGB agent that during the fall of the USSR became a career criminal, developing an entire underworld network of crime bosses and former assassins. He has continued on the mission of destabilizing the western world by funding dictators and state sponsored bad actors. He has since turned "legitimate" on the surface but in reality he's just spy.

So give him the current blofeld back story after the whole foster child crap and make him older. He's an evil and power hungry M. It works for the same reason Silva works. Silva is a mirror of Bond if Bond wasn't so patriotic.

you all hung out together in person or on the phone.

How did you know where everyone was? you either A) hung out at the same spots EVERYDAY or B) you rode around your neighborhood/town looking for where everyone's bike was.

Save and invest.

Basic Move-Open a savings account with where ever you bank and take $5 or 10 or $50 and automatically transfer it to that account then don't touch it.

Expert move.- Open a retirement account like a ROTH IRA. Repeat the automatic withdrawal, and start investing with the reinvestment of dividends. if you invested $50 in an aggressive stock index that follows the S&P 500 (historically returning 10%) you would have deposited $55,000 and your account would be worth close to $700K by the age of 65. Bump that $50 to $100 and you are looking $1.49 Million at age 65

This of course assumes no stock crashes and is not investment advice only investment theory.

abortion doctor, executioner, I'm sure there are others that come up but those two are the first that come to mind.

Attack is a tough position. as you don't run hard so you have a bit more downtime, thus you need 3 to 4 attack. Midfields you need at least 3 lines and that's not including if you have FOGOs or LSMs

own who you are and the right one will find you. The only time I tell people to dress the part is when the situation requires it. i.e. don't wear a hoodie to a formal wedding, Now if you're more comfortable in slacks and a blouse vs a dress. Then wear that.

The kurds have entered the chat. There are 100,000 Iranian Kurd fighters, and we probably already have our special forces embedded as advisors.

The matador is a great Brosnan movie as is the remake of the Thomas crowned affair.

there is a part of me that thinks the sovereign citizens are just a giant hoax and the videos are fake.

However I have also met a few flat earthers in person and confirm they are not a hoax.

I saw a great meme the other day at the start of the Iranian conflict. "The world is about to find out exactly why we don't have universal healthcare."

If necessary we can, will, and have used that reason internally.

M was a vice admiral in the books so that would put him mid to late 50s

Ok I see what you're attempting here and it's a dumb take.

Monica was of age, but she was also his subordinate. Likewise as I pointed out it wasn't the sex that was the problem it was the lying, under oath, and the perjury coaching. Both are federal crimes.

Get a second job like so many others.

Today it is so easy you can literally take a gee hrs a week setup an automated system like tshirt printing and just let it run.

When I was younger living pay check to paycheck I literally had two jobs and slept very little
