CainFortea posted:We just called the almost 20 year older sailor guy in boot camp "popeye" because what else are a bunch of marine recruits gonna call some old navy geezer? I enlisted at 27, and thank the gently caress Christ there was a 38 year old in my AIT class who had done 10 in the Seabees (he actually ran a bulldozer clearing rubble of the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon) then gotten out for 10. So they skipped right past me for a nickname and called him Old Navy.

Doesn't that gently caress up the avionics and sensitive parts of the aircraft? I recall a tanker telling me that if they used their internal FS system, it deadlines the tank and requires contractor level maintenance. I don't know if that is accurate, either, so someone can clarify that, too.

Depends on the agent. I have no idea what they use in a hangar for aircraft but it would probably be something that isn't nearly as corrosive as dry chem. Just basic AFFF still causes a mess and has to be mixed with water so there would be moisture damage?

Icon Of Sin posted:I’m imagining that follows a similar rule as account names with online gaming: if you see someone with a name like “Master_killer” or “XxDeath~Master420xX”, they’re inevitably terrible at whatever game you’re finding them in. Someone comes in with a name like “high fives and ho-hos” or “Fluffy Rainbow Kittens”, they’re about to utterly wreck a server before moving on. I remember the old BF3 thread where there was a rant about the chat being the true objective of the game; death was only an opportunity to strike; killing your opponent mainly acts to force them to read chat longer. Anyway one of the master strokes I learned was to celebrate my wins as a victory for the gay agenda.

I was a fleet support engineer for an E-6 that got foamed with the doors open. You basically take everything apart, clean it with the appropriate solvents, then put it back together. It was already in depot maintenance at the time so they were responsible for fixing that nightmare. I'm not sure what would have happened if the fleet had done that.

I had a long list of "x lied, y died" that I would put in chat like "LBJ lied, kids died", "Bush Lied, Towers Died", some just historical fact, some just stupidly wrong hyperbole, "Raegan lied, Santa died" that would get wonderful amounts of anger. I regret ending a lot of them with inofwras.corn, worried the joke may have actually sent a few idiots to jones.

To be entirely clear, I am not in any way saying I believed what that particular warrant officer said, especially considering that multiple witnesses in the subsequent inquiry made statements that indicated the total opposite. FrozenVent posted:What? I think it's a collection of some of the allegations surrounding the mass shooting that took place in North Nova Scotia in April 2020. The RCMP payoff/shooter was an informant angle was one drummed up by a journalist with a rather... questionable track record; the more likely scenario (incredible laziness, incompetence and virtually no oversight of RCMP officers) is frankly even more disturbing. The shooter was, however, a racist and a titanic piece of poo poo. Fearless fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Dec 25, 2022 |

FrozenVent posted:Yeah my understanding was that the RCMP was just sleeping on the job, as they usually do when it’s white people doing crime. Or as was observed in this case, being chummy with the eventual mass murderer every single time the neighbours called in a serious complaint about domestic violence or him possessing illegal firearms. Instead of, you know, investigating. The same RCMP officers were also involved in completely mishandling Susan Butlin's case in 2017, in which Susie brought forward serious and legitimate complaints of domestic violence and assault against a former partner. The RCMP dismissed and ignored the complaints despite the urging of a provincial court judge and in September of 2017 she was murdered by that former partner. Susie used to watch my brother and I when we were kids; we grew up with her boys (I'm from North Nova Scotia and still have family there-- we knew people that died in the mass shooting and one of my aunts was very nearly one of them). It is long delayed, but it looks like the negligent shitheels that let Susie die are being investigated as a result of the incredibly damning testimony that came out during the mass casualty commission. Relevant to the thread: the same mass casualty commission testimony revealed that more than one RCMP officer in that detachment did not fully understand legal concepts like "consent" and what that means in the context of a domestic relationship.

AITA for walking out of Family Dinner because of bad service? quote: My family and I went to Mideival Times for Christmas Eve dinner. The wait was long to be seated and when the man came over the speaker he said he would seat us according to section color and table number so to wait for our table to be called. I then noticed a security guard was ushering a couple families in that hadn't been called. I went over to ask him why they got to go back first and he said those were people with health issues that required assistance being seated. I told him that I have a bad back and standing around waiting is hard for me too and he said that didn't qualify. Then they started calling every color but ours. I figured I'm smart enough to know what color to sit in so I went ahead and went back anyway and sure enough found our color and table. My family was still wandering around out in the lobby buying drinks and souvenirs. They eventually did call our section and my family came back but the server that was seating us was kind of rude about me already being there. I asked him what difference it makes and he said "because there's a system for this and you're disrespecting other patrons. Please abide all our other rules." I said sure. They served the food with no silverware. I asked the server for a fork and he said they don't have forks. That it's some gimmick about mideival times and eating with your hands. I asked if he could please find me a fork and he said they actually don't allow them because in the past people have thrown silverware at performers. So I didn't eat because I don't enjoy eating with my hands. The show went on too long and was boring. There was one part where we were told to make lots of noise. I started banging my cups together and one of the performers shot me a death glare and told me to stop. I did but asked out loud why I had to stop making noise if nobody else did. A server came over and said banging dishes together scares the horses and that it had already been something we were asked not to do earlier when they talked to us all in the lobby. I didn't remember that announcement. My sister said it was announced but I'm sure it wasn't. When the bar girls came around for drink orders I tried to order a beer but the girl shook her head no and walked by me. That was it for me. I got up and walked out and went to a bar next door and got a beer and a burger and waited for my family to be done. My sister got mad at me after and said I'd ruined the night for our mom. Our mom said it was fine but my dad and sister are both acting like I shot a dog. AITA? quote: Editing to add eating a burger with hands is way different than eating a greasy roast chicken with hands. And im not a "karen." I'm a man and a member of the USMC so I carry myself with a little more dignity than to eat greasy chicken with my hands. Also adding my family had already made it not a family event when my dad refused to allow me to invite my girlfriend along.

Just one rear end in a top hat is possible and sure customer service can suck sometimes. But if everyone is an rear end in a top hat to you, I'm pretty sure there is only one rear end in a top hat in the story (hint: it's the same person in every encounter him)

Karen started complaining about how people were being seated and was probably already drunk and an rear end in a top hat. He then just sat himself instead of waiting with his party and generally made a nuisance of himself to the staff. After that he basically complained about being at the restaurant he was at and made a bunch of racket in a way he wasn't supposed to. Hooah! Write one more bad review for Chesty debbil dawg!!!
