I think it really matters who you want remembering you fondly…

Nazis on Grindr? You must be kidding. No self respecting nazi would ever choose to be gay…

/s just in case that needed to be stated…

Looks like a MI-17 had a baby with a UH-60.

You like that aircraft… check out the CH-53K King Stallion. They’re not without their problems, obviously, but if you’ve got to get it off the ground… there’s nothing the US has at least that has a comparable lift capacity.

If you don’t think the Apache is sexy, you’re not an aviation enthusiast.

The gal on the far left looks like the gal who played Tapanga had a baby with Chris Kattan.

No worries dude… I know I’ve been exactly in that spot

Dude, there’s military bases all over the country…

Also… ya know, a big mismatch in technology. Sure a lot of folks have ARs and shit, some folks have Barret .50 cal sniper rifles. None of them have a fucking AH-64E Apache.

Baseball (and sports in general) are wonderful man made examples of evolution and how selection pressure can force the expression of certain traits. About 25% of MLB players are left handed, versus about 10% in the general population.

A similar thing has occurred in the NBA where the average height is about 6’6” (or 198.6cm for those opposed to Freedom Units), which is about 8 inches taller than the average American male.

Doubtless, you can look at any top level professional sport league and find some physical trait (or set of traits) that is wholly disproportionate compared to the general population due to those traits providing some advantage(s) that is unique to that game.

The yellow stuff is definitely Easy Cheese. The can is in the background on the right.

For the non Americans

The “icing” I have no idea. At first I thought it was mashed potatoes, but on closer inspection it does seem like it might be ranch dressing.

Part of me wants to be disgusted by this… part of me wants to make it so I can try it.

Not much point in hanging onto an assignment that will evaporate with the next administration… especially if you think your talents and skills are better utilized elsewhere.

Harbor Freight is fucking awesome.

Treat ‘yo self!

These raises that make the news are the cost of living adjustments or the COLA. They happen annually at the beginning of the calendar year and are intended to adjust salaries for year over year inflation. It’s not related to any sort of performance or merit based pay increases.

Health insurance… mother fucking health insurance.

The FEHB is some of the best health insurance there is…. I know folks who are only still doing their fed job to continue access to the great insurance.

And you get to keep it for the rest of your life if you retire. I believe you pay the premium through your annuity.

I think the logic is to track data like this… I’ve never understood it either though…

It’s amazing. You won’t be disappointed.

It was good fun. I enjoyed the whimsical and trippy bits with the flower you could get in each level… and how the game mechanics changed each time.

Whether or not it deserves a series though??? I don’t really think so. These smaller Mario games like Wonder, 3D World, Bowser’s Fury, and New Super Mario Bros U to me are nice little appetizers between bigger 3D open world adventures like Odyssey and Galaxy. More than anything, I’d love love love LOVE to see a sequel of some sort for Odyssey or at least a few DLC worlds. But with Mario Wonder just releasing, and getting a Mario movie, I don’t think we’re going to see another major open world Mario game until the Switch’s successor releases.

I liked Wonder; I liked the movie; but if given the choice, 10 times out of 10 I’d choose even DLC for Odyssey over either of them… Wonder and the Movie were fun. Odyssey was pure joy. It’s been a looooong time since a video game made me unconsciously smile for as long as Odyssey did.

I would tell you not to let the weapon durability and frequent deaths get you down. That was everyone when they started. Thats not to say to not be careful and go barreling into each encounter, but just understand that while you’ve only got 3 or 4 hearts, a lot of encounters are going to kill you.

That being said, try to scope out each boko encampment before you attack. Are there any boulders that can be dropped from overhead? Is there anything you can make explode or catch fire? Try to get tactical. Sometimes solving the tactics of a certain encounter takes going in and dying a few times. And that’s ok dude. As you keep with it, you’ll get better at fighting. Then eventually, you’ll notice you’ve got 10 or 15 hearts and aren’t dying nearly as often.

So as a general strategy… focus on shrines. Stockpile those spirit orbs and get more hearts and stamina. Idk what the community’s rule is, but I focused on more hearts until I had 6 or 7 hearts, then exclusively dumped orbs into stamina until I filled out the second wheel.

Keep it up dude. You’ll get there

I fucking know a guy who claims he’s got no idea what heartburn is, and that he’s never had a headache. He’s about 70 years old and is probably the happiest most joyful person I’ve ever met.
