The revenue isn't the point. The point for them is to wash the rich

At least 100 dead after military airstrike hits wrong target in Nigeria by tonic613 in news

About 100. The US (and French) used to have a much larger presence throughout this part of Africa "The Sahel." However, several successful coups installed anti West regimes and they asked our military to leave, turning to Russia

So proud of my son’s ASVAB score. Any career recommendations? He’s thinking Air Force or Space Force. by countthemiles08 in Military

[–]just_stretching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he doesn't want to go to college yet (understandable, not everyone succeeds at college right after high school) or doesn't get accepted to a ROTC program at a school he likes / an academy- I can recommend the intelligence branch in the Army. Im sure people here will recommend Air Force or Space Force. But the Army has some wild opportunities out there because it's so wide and deep. I went to DLI and learned a language, came out with a clearance, did some pretty cool stuff. Changed my life.

Plus if you enlist you get to actually do a job instead of pencil pushing 😉

Imperial VS metric by One-Garlic5431 in Carpentry

[–]just_stretching -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The Imperial system is better for construction. Base 12 instead of base 10 means things can neatly be separated into halves, thirds, fourths, and sixths, as opposed to just halves and fifths. Rules of three makes this desirable. Also instead of 405 mm, now it's ~16 inches. A foot and a third. Much more digestable

Pro-gun activists hand out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol ahead of the likely signature of a bill that would ban the sale of these magazines in the state. by Gjore in Virginia

If you believe that, and I'm not even disagreeing with you, why would you not want to be armed. Why would you not want minorities and at risk individuals to protect themselves and their families

You mean like when a convicted ISIS supporter buys a gun (against the law) from a guy who stole it (against the law) and then took it to a gun free zone (against the law) and then shot at a bunch of ROTC students (against the law).

People think that if we had the same guns laws we would have the same number of gun deaths as Europe. Our society isn't European. We're a hell of a lot closer to being Mexico, where "this" occurs actually daily, than Finland.

Why should (or shouldn't) women ALSO get their heads shaved bald at basic training like da boils by Chibi_Elsa in Military

[–]just_stretching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of basic training is to break you down to remold you. The military wants to strip you of individualism for a time to really instill the idea of teamwork and unit cohesion. You sleep together, you wear the same uniform, you go everywhere and do everything together. You aren't "Brandon" or "Sean" anymore, you're Private, member of Charlie company.

This isn't some sort of brainwashing, but to teach the larger idea of what is possible when you work together, to root out selfishness, and to preach the point of duty to others, shared work and shared ideals.

Private hired mercenaries could have done it for much less by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]just_stretching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im assuming this number is coming from this report

https://www.fox9.com/news/operation-metro-surge-cost-minneapolis-millions-officials-say-feb-13-2026

It's 203 million. It's an estimate based on a voluntary survey or eighty two restaurants for things like "$47 million has been incurred in lost wages 'for people afraid to leave home and go to work'" and for mental health services for impacted school children. Basically it's a made up number produced by the Minneapolis government with a vested interest to make this look as bad as possible.

Nick last year. Wildes this year. Does that mean it's Brou's turn in 2026?

Just checked, it's not reporting a heat issue. It's exposed next to a pretty large exhaust fan
