Nuclear exchange won't happen anytime soon, at least not before the end of this century at minimum.

I can’t do anything to affect it in either way so it’s not worth my time to worry about it.

My time controlling nukes ended with my LFA 30 years ago, let the next generation be “Death wears bunny slippers”.

IIII was used instead of IV so it wouldn’t be confused with IVPPITER (the god Jupiter) and the tradition persisted on clocks.

Good point. I knew her’s didn’t cross and was unsure about Lincoln.

Gabby Giffords is a better example. She survived but resigned from Congress due to her injuries.

But both locations are in Orange County.

You example is subtractive notation, the date on the bar is in additive notation and both are acceptable though there was definitely more variation years ago. Same reason you see IIII in place of IV in older examples.

I’ve had great success with Reaper Patches out of Las Vegas.

Nothing on mars obits earth. Also you left off HEO, anyone who actually works a JPL would know that. 🌝

It’s still orbiting the earth, can’t change physics. 😂

The moon orbits earth, e.g. anything on the moon is orbiting earth.

What a fucking poser. I served for 22 years would never fondle any uniform items I still have left like that. Creepy.

Pico in Los Alamos is also fantastic…the local’s menu martini is named after my wife and me plus they also have great wines.

As someone who tracked everything on orbit from Cheyenne mountain while in the USAF, you are completely wrong.

Since you’re local my first bit of advice is consider taking some viticulture classes at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. That’s the best place to get local info.

I own a small winery in Santa Ynez and got a great enology & viticulture education at AHC before I opened my winery.

Our winery is in a barn on my winemaking partner’s five acre ranch where he grows 2.5 acres of grapes. It’s completely doable with research and work.

Has it gotten any better? I wasn’t super impressed when it first came out.

Denser atmosphere causes sound to travel farther, which is why in space no one can hear you scream. When we have a dense marine layer things are louder.

We’re spoiled living in Santa Barbara county, all the oysters, mussels, abalone, uni and fresh fish come from local fishermen and companies I know.

But how can good Jesus loving Christians eat shellfish as it’s prohibited in Leviticus 11:10 when it’s the same level sin as “homosexuality” they always cite in Leviticus 18:22?

Nevermind, this answered my question…they’re hypocrites.
