My old company commander would fly across the country for drill. Hell, I had someone who would come back from Afghanistan (where they worked as an intel contractor) every 3-4 months and do a week or two of drill days.

Vasudus posted:I honestly blame public education for some of it. But only because in elementary school, we were taught that there's theories and laws and only the laws are universally true. Now, of course in middle school and high school you were taught that no, theories like the theory of evolution are not up for interpretation; or at least not the kind of interpretation that would allow a debate on fundamental levels. But if you were outside of a good, well funded public school district before NCLB came around or your science programs were a joke you never learned that critical second part. Or you did, but you never remembered or retained it because you never paid attention since it was high school. It’s nice to tell theory  people that gravity is a theory, and that they should test it out by jumping off a cliff.

Living in the Great Lakes region, I feel lucky that I’m in one of the few areas that might derive some benefit from climate change, although on the whole it’s obviously a global catastrophe. Chicago and all the other major cities in this region, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit & Cleveland (maybe lol) are going to be overflowing with climate refugees. Shitloads of freshwater, some of the most productive agricultural land on the planet, numerous large cities, etc.

Lol. Is every midwestern person here of Norwegian/German roots? Weird. One set of great grand parents hopped off the boat from Norway at Ellis Island in the 1920s while the others were from Germany of some flavor. None of them were chuds/religious nuts, at least. Just blue collar working class union worker types.

At this point I don’t see what good banning them would do unless you confiscate/prohibit the transfer of them. There are millions of ARs, etc in the US. I’ve got one complete rifle and a second complete lower that I got for like $120 on an impulse buy, there are for sure nuts out there that own like 50.

ASAPI posted:So the wife is a vegetarian. Some of the products out there are good, some are horrible. The Beyond burgers are reasonably decent, with enough seasoning/sauce on them. The "chicken" products are mostly good, especially the ones derived from mushrooms. Those ironically, taste almost exactly like chicken. The "riblets", those are identical to the McRib. So much so, I wonder if McDonalds ever really used "meat" for those. A cafe near my house does vegan deep fried “ribs” which I’m pretty sure are just beer battered seitan w/ spices. Honestly they’re pretty good as a bar snack, should ask if they’re willing to make a sandwich out of them. I love meat but am definitely interested in eating less of it mostly for environmental reasons, luckily I’ve got 2 really good vegan restaurants walking distance from my place. Fake future meat, best meat.

I was inspired to eat fakemeat for dinner today and got some Gardein "chicken" strips; I have to say they're pretty drat good even down to the texture and appearance. My Whole Foods also had this: https://thespoon.tech/watch-out-beyond-meat-u-k-s-meatless-farm-is-heading-to-u-s-whole-foods/ so I had to grab some to try.

Wonder Free posted:I am a NOAA Corps Officer (like the Coast Guard but more obscure) and we fly P-3’s through the center at 10k feet. We have two P-3’s that do this, and a G-IV that flies around the storm and is boring. The Air Force has the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron that has 10 C-130’s that do similar missions to the P-3, but don’t do anywhere near the kind of research we do. This is amazingly cool.

Wonder Free posted:NOAA Corps is kind of weird but I like it a lot more than the Navy. It feels almost like halfway between civilian and military, and I’m probably responsible for what someone the next rank down in the Navy would be doing. We fly with and are supported by mostly GS employees. Conversely, nobody messes with you like the Navy, and it’s more egalitarian and casual as well. Also we promote a lot faster so that’s not bad. Overall much better than my Navy experience. It sounds like the military but actually doing something good for humanity, if I were 5-10 years younger and not somewhat physically broken this actually sounds appealing. I'd have to imagine there is some role at NOAA for geographers/GIS or related stuff?

I mean doing OCS or whatever at 36 (assuming that's not past their max age limit) sounds like it sucks, but doing it as a civilian GS employee would be great.
