But I can't help denying that West has any loving idea what the military's, about when he shoehorns in all the mythology he can find just to talk about it. I don't think I need much to support that since his tribunal or court martial came to the same conclusion. West also acts like you can't name a planet he didn't lose on an organ on.

The blind kid probably practiced a lot more. Oh well, I guess 50 cent will have to stick to his day job...of being a rich and famous musician.

Grab any RPG man, the pilot skill is directly ties to agility or dexterity.

Sotomayor is a headhunter, Alito is way too far to the right, and Obama is too lofty. Best thing about this news story is that for whatever reason local news station at the gym has been playing these pitch clips over and over, heavily emphasizing this incredibly attractive Japanese lady doing some kinda of crazy cartwheel pitch like she's trying out for Dusty Diamonds All Star Softball.

But some sort of preternatural agility isn't on the list of physical requirements. We use machines to get as much advance warning as possible, and machines to disrupt incoming fire as much as possible. We don't go for people who can dodge bullets and missiles because there is no dodging bullets and missiles - missiles track and for bullets in dogfights it's is the training that matters so you know how and when to maneuver, not how fast you can hit the controls to do so. You are moving at over a third the speed of sound, a millisecond difference in axon conductivity doesn't really matter compared to not being in that position in the first place

New thread hopefully up this weekend, but there is a convention I have to go to so maybe not. Shouldn't be too contentious, we are still a super minority so no real stakes and the only change to the platform proposed is adding a marriage equality plank, which is expected to pass as a no brainer Anyways, June drink of the month and thread title suggestions? I'm leaning towards US Politics June - I Need A Drink but I'm not fixed to it

Well I mean not only are migraines and serious headaches physically debilitating, a lot of the time they develop visual symptoms like haloing, blurring, etc. as well as dizzines and disorientation. Not things you want your pilots developing.

That's kind of a shame, since by all accounts I'm aware of he at least improved things from their even more abysmal previous state. Also, the GOP can no longer block executive appointees indefinitely. Right?
