    I doubt they have resumed, but over at Mayport (Jacksonville), they used to designate a "ship of the day" and open that ship up to the public for free tours. Your tour guide would be a junior officer from the ship. The ship could be any in port, and if you were lucky, you got the carrier.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Bluetooth Headphones?: Earbuds are like shrimp… You tell somebody you don’t like them and you get nonstop recommendations to try them “this way” The bone conduction headphones are neither in nor over the ear.

    If you want to see a bunch of pussy men with no testosterone, just take a stroll through WTF. The only ones with any testosterone over there are the feminist females that cuck them.

    @Horace said in >60,000,000: I remember an NPR interview several years ago with a TDS suffering climate scientist who said, with a straight and very solemn face, that Trump would go down as history's greatest mass murderer due to his inaction on climate change and the effects that will have on humanity. That is totally unhinged.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in For the Geldings to be Fruitful: It's also hard to expect self-sacrifice from people who refuse to get vaccinated or wear a mask Even the epitome of self-sacrifice (seen in this picture) has come around to the no-mask side.

    @Copper I knew he caught the side near the corner but now that you mention it…if they had missed I guess they would’ve just crashed into the nearest set of buildings. Wow.

    After getting settled into the passenger seat, the hitchhiker thanked the man for the ride, then asked, “but how do you know I’m not a serial killer?” “I’m not worried,” the driver replied. “The chances of two serial killers being in the same car have to be astronomical.”

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Flat Tax: @LuFins-Dad said in Flat Tax: @Doctor-Phibes said in Flat Tax: People actually pay to live in Iowa? (I'm kidding!) Iowa is actually one of the big winners of the Escape From California. By "winners" you mean they've been inundated by Californians? Yep. Although I don't know if I'd call them winters.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Pilot ROTC: @George-K said in Pilot ROTC: I don't have any informed opinion on this particular matter. But, if I recall correctly, for repayment of medical education obligations, it was one-for-one. IOW..."You owe us one year of service for every year of school that we paid for." Hmmmm… Would those years count towards residency? Docs get paid during residency.
