I had no early warnings. I woke up one morning with blurred vision after a bad cold, went to the doctor, had a 600 blood sugar, A1C of 12.1, and they had me admitted.

Upon further introspection, constipation.

Hilarious, no notes.

If I didn’t need to buy cough syrup, I wouldn’t have spent a cent today.

Took a walk, sat on a bench, played decade old games, decorated the tree, and ate leftovers.

Back when I was in the desert, if a shower wasn’t available for a period of time, I would rub some sand on my head.

Better than the grease.

In fairness, that would be like asking how much you need to make to live in DC or London. Seoul is the capital, it’s gonna cost a lot.

But, what are you gonna do? Live in Gwanju or Daegu?

No, the country is on fire sale. They’re loading up to head to greener pastures. Destroying US flight means that an alternative they’ve invested in can rise. Just wait until ATC globally is done in Chinese instead, then it’ll make sense.

Hey now, Nissan went electric with the Leaf (and had the worst battery solution) faster than competitors, it adopted the (worst) CVT for its lighter duty vehicles early, and rarely, if ever, redesigned some of the most (un)inspiring vehicles around!

Nissan did corner the subprime market like no one else though.

My family was on the Mayflower but if Ireland would like to take me back on account of the generational sin and all that I’d be happy to get on the plane.

He’s dead, she can move on whenever she wants…

He, on the other hand, is still married and needs to at least have the balls to divorce his wife before he moves on her.

She’s garbage but, in this situation, he’s entirely responsible for his actions.

Beards? My hair starts at the top of my head and ends at my toe knuckles. My beard hair goes up to my cheek bones, down to the underside of my jaw and entirely down my neck to connect to my chest hair. I have to regularly shave my neck, shape and trim my beard.

I mean, I like my facial hair just fine, I just wish I didn’t have random solid white patches where my body decided to quit due to stress on me.

I’d really rather shoot myself than deal with grooming my face in general but I’d rather limit the parts I have to shave if I must.

She said it herself, her kids’ insurance rates will go up. That’s money out of her pocket, therefore bad, therefore we should reconvene the house to prevent it.

So, they’re just shooting people in the face for fun. Got it.

At least Soldiers have the gumption to sham during my a shutdown!

Straight from Fort Knox, obviously.

The entire public affairs career field knows this. It’s how you can tell VP Bowman sucked at his job - the reporters will show up to a firefight with Special Forces. They don’t need to hear it from you.

I would call myself JD too if my parents named me Jerkin Dapenis as well.

Once you’ve watched a Captain get relieved of his command and get sent to the sandbox to count ammo in a connex and then get PROMOTED to Major, you know that it’s all made up.

O-1 through O-4 are basically the same as E-1 through E-4, Automatic.

Look, the test is really bad about detecting weight issues so if you score high enough on the annual fitness test, you don’t have to take it. So that leaves all the soldiers with much more muscle out of the outliers. Meaning the soldiers who are overweight and don’t have high enough scores can waste the rest of the afternoon getting tape tested.

The Army tests Height and Weight every year. Those rucks will take an inch or two off you as your vertebrae get crushed.

But, yeah, army already does annual height and weight.

To tell the Sec Def “No, I won’t be showing up” is deny a lawful order. Your boss can tell you to be somewhere.

If the US Military starts to play political games, like denying an otherwise lawful order because it came from an asshole, they’re breaking different parts of their own internal rules.

That said, if the civilian arm in charge of the military, e.g. the executive branch, decides to say that the Army can, and should, unilaterally bomb unidentified boats in their region for ‘defence purposes’, that’s now a lawful order so you can’t deny that one.

And as an average joe, you can beat the rap (in thirty years when they pardon you) but you can’t beat the ride. Enjoy your DD.

I should clarify - the U.S. Army Warrior Ethos is

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

So… Flying everyone back to D.C. for a pep rally is quite literally making them not place the mission first and violating the first line…

So, yeah, he’s planning a coup.
