Mormons, they are all about to find out that it was never one big tent of denominations but they were useful tools.

What did he know?

Just curious how much things like CAS is represented with these observations. Seems like two BDEs slugging it out with what they have, which is valuable in what can you do if no one comes to help but I worry about putting too much on Ukrainian observations in light of our Joint capes & the JWC.

How does NTC factor in joint fires like AF and Navy air or other long range fires?

There will always be something cool about people taking old tech into the air and doing something really dangerous and awesome.

We have cut back on steaks less because I cant afford it and more I refuse to pay that much on a regular basis. I also have a vacuum sealer so whenever steaks go on sale I'll buy extra and then freeze it.

A) I miss Fred Meyers, top tier store.

B) Depends my local Publix the meat prices are bananas. $14/lb for a flanks steak, $19/lb for a choice ribeye, NY Strips are $18, 80/20 ground beef is $8.50/lb.

C) That's why I get all my meat at Costco because the prices are usually $3-4 less per pound.

Not easy to be reeling our kilometers of fiber optic cable from a rear location with a strike package of F-15s or bombers rolls in with a couple dozen to hundreds of JDAMs per package flying overhead. You might be able to stop FPV drones with fortifications but you aren't stopping a JDAM.

I have 6 brand new computers sitting next to my desk for 3 weeks that I've been trying to get on the network because the comm SQ didn't put them on the network before they had me pick them up.

Lol at a department where getting a printer to stay connected or a VTC to reliably work is a challenge. Or the unwritten workarounds for moving files between networks that requires you to undertake a pilgrimage to 6 different work spaces.

As someone that knows tangentially assisted in staffing this naming, the tribe leadership is 100% involved in the naming selection.

Let's look at the Army's FY26 budget request on a missile that takes 3.5 years to build.

I like it better than the oven or other methods because of the temp control it's almost impossible to mess up and the smoke flavor on the crust is amazing.

Can't tell if it is, but have you tried smoking a prime rib before?

34 months for every Patriot Missile according to the Army FY26 J-books. Similar timelines for THAADS missiles as well.

But now I have the scanner for all future things I need for my cars. I appreciate my 11 year old CRV that swapping the battery means I need to reprogram the radio presets.

I had to swap the battery in my VW last week and had to buy a $140 car scanner to program the new battery into the computer. Other option was to take it to a dealer and probably get charged the same amount for what was a 30 minute ordeal (including me youtubing the programming steps).

I grew up on a farm where we regularly had to fix our own tractors. I also briefly worked for John Deere and watched as they tried to justify why people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Get absolutely fucked Deere, right to repair forever and ever

True other problem is theres so many other people that get a vote (DISA CYBERCOM/NSA, JS/J6, CCMDs etc)

That's a budget topline problem

Yeah not a fan of the vendor lock especially for databases other companies need to use

They also appear to deliver something useful faster than other companies. There's two companies that have been working on tools for my section for almost over 2 years now and I honestly can't say they are any closer to actually delivering a single thing we can use or will before I leave next summer.

The Cato Institute and Professor Ilya Somin have filed an amicus brief in the US Court of International Trade arguing that Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 cannot lawfully be used to impose tariffs under current circumstances.
