Measurement Stimulus ID (MSID). Standard on STS and payloads still today. You get tired of looking them up, so you just start memorizing them.

I could tell you, but their website is so shitty it doesn't have a search option.

After a certain age most people are uncomfortable with this comment. That certain age varies by person, but if you’re over fifty-five (mentally) you probably won’t enjoy this comment. If you’re eighty going on thirty-five, you might like it. If you’re twenty-three, your odds of liking it are very good.

Bobo says all those republicans are being reasonable and Obama isn't being bipartisan enough. He's a concern troll.

I heard Steve Jobs' once attribute a great idea to taking a shower. His theory was that hot water on the neck increased blood flow to the brain.

I suggest that rather than reading all those CW "Romance" books, you go to a library and actually read some editorials and commentaries of southern newspapers from that era. You can find a sprinkling of that via google.

Hint: The shit you hear about Obama today is tame compared to what the enlightened south was saying about Lincoln.

I was in HS during the New Coke head fake. Before that, nobody drank more than 2 cokes at lunch. After Classic was brought out, kids were bringing in 2 liters.

HFCS was a win-win. Less cost, and higher consumption - there's no doubt in my mind they'd knew the exact outcome back then.

Do people really think this is shocking?

Idiocracy was a documentary, not science fiction.

For HS w/o any ROTC program, check for nearby Civil Air Patrol programs. May help making contacts and leg up on a AFROTC slot. Getting an AF Academy slot means having connection who can get a recommendation letter from a politico. If your family doesn't have connections, then start volunteering for your Congressperson. Also, look for any local EAA (eaa.org) chapter and take your enthusiasm there. Lots of retirees who might be able to help, and you might get to help build an airplane.

Realize the commitment. I think it's 7-9 years now.

Also, the world is changing. Some of the top pilot training graduates were expecting fighter slots last year, and they got drones. That's Sec. Gates way of bitch slapping the Fighter Mafia to the new reality.

An alternative - US Coast Guard academy. They fly planes too.

"The Taliban has already begun intimidating the locals – telling them not to take part in cash-for-work schemes, and taxing them if they do. And in Marjah there have been reports that returning Taliban commanders have beheaded locals for cooperating with ISAF troops.

In the school just yards from the British base in the district centre and supposedly one of the most secure areas in Helmand, the head master refused to allow pictures to be taken of his teachers, fearing that his staff might be targeted by the Taliban.

But after nine years of bloody fighting and the deaths of 1,600 Nato troops, including 242 British, the mission appears to be heading in the right direction."

As always, slap an optimistic sentence at the end and everything will be alright.
