I'm tired of this stereotype. Not everyone in the Navy is married to an Air Force Officer dropout.

It's true, you might have a waiver.

Historically Iran was the native name, while Europeans tended to call it Persia, Persis being one part of the country. In the 30s the Nazis suggested Iran become known by that name officially (it being related to the Aryans) and the Shah agreed. This was unpopular and was reversed a couple of times since.

I don't know why Persis -> Persia, but I'm just gonna go ahead and blame the Romans and/or Greeks.

Greeks.

Let's not forget Mad Dog was also on the board of Theranos before he was SecDef as well. I love the guy, but gently caress there's no great way to explain that.

"He was duped like everyone else that wanted it to be true and also wanted to make money." It may not be a great explanation, but I think it covers everything.

The quo vadis argument would lead us to suspect that Verizon's shareholders are also heavily invested in pay porn sites, but that's assuming it's a rational decision, and not a "Well we can't have Our Good Name associated with This Sort of Thing, harrumph harrumph" which seems vastly more likely.

Dunno about Canada but here in the good ol US of A she had a catchy summer tune a few years ago and then kinda disappeared.

Did she have a better go of it up there?


Typical. King Robot is just dropping his kids off all over the place.

One day he’ll become more responsible. I hope.

Came here for Saga ref, can now die in peace.

Im assuming we did too cuz theres no way we're got something ready to test in 17 days


Small miracles right?

It's just the Navy-model T-hawk, fired from a trailer-mounted VLS cell. It's ready to go because it's been standard shipboard equipment for decades.

I'm enjoying both the books and the series for expanse.

I may not have especially discerning tastes.

Even after having a class specifically on media literacy I just don't manage to analyze shows or books in that depth while reading/watching. I even took that class specifically *to* do that, and I just don't manage it.

What's the difference between having discerning tastes and being an insufferable snob?

It's not a riddle, I seriously can't tell.

It looks like there's a footnote.

quote:

Instead, the U.S. citizen parent of such a child may apply for naturalization on the child’s behalf under INA 322.

So I guess you have some paperwork to do instead of being automatic.

Doesn't make it much better. They are trying to make excuses for getting rid of birthright citizenship.

Oh absolutely this is putting up barriers for the sake of it.

South of the projected point of landfall, closer to where the Bahamas are (those are those islands just off the east of FL, near where the peninsula coastline starts hooking back inward at the bottom)

It's a pretty broad probability cone that far out, so bets are still on.
