Scraping hulls with a Brillo pad was a thing in NC, the shop I used to work for charged about $10 per foot to do it. A boat may get hauled out for a bottom painting, but that’s like every 2 years or so.

I'm legit happy I got to experience cicadas one time in my life in San Antonio. It was a wierdly peaceful thing to march and do other basic poo poo to.

I thought that normally you pull a boat out for maintenance like that, and only dive for emergency prop or shaft repair

You can do either tbh

The high points of Space Force are operating the GPS constellation (50th), coordinating launches (30th & 45th), parts of NORAD/early warning (21st & 460th), tracking/cataloging orbiting objects, and probably ASAT & whatever spooky stuff the X-37 is doing.

Wikipedia has some details about locations:

I was also 100% mixing up Vandenberg and LA AFB. I don't really know how.

We should be so lucky that the government would give enough of a poo poo about nature that they'd send whole ecosystems into space to preserve them.

And I still tear up when I hear the title theme.

I was in Oklahoma City with a bunch of people from California for a few months one time. The ones that had never heard cicadas before described it as "the trees screaming at them" and it's one of those things I don't think I'll ever forget.

He'll take full credit for it and say that he's done more for black sailors than any other president in history.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

If they ever mention the new carrier name on fox news he will almost certainly see it since he watches like 60 hours of TV a week and try to rename it to the USS MAR A LAGO or some poo poo.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
