Oh nah, they’ll figure out ways to charge insane amounts of OT, because police unions are ridiculously strong. Cops will just sit on the side of the road for “visibility”, off-duty, and collect OT. If you’ve seen cops at a parade, sporting event, concert, wherever they’re in uniform but not actively doing more than standing there, there’s a good chance they’re collecting OT and probably also making a nice fee from the venue for their services.
That being said, it’s important to know how to sanity-check the math, especially in the era of Copilot in Excel. We just found that our company’s configuration enables it by default on new workbooks, as we found when it was just…making up numbers when asked to do simple addition.
Arguably, there would be decent historic precedent for excommunicating Vance RIGHT NOW.
You forgot ‘and a friend to pull you out in case’.
I will also point out that the idea of a pre-tribulation Rapture is not biblically well-supported, and was pretty much made up out of whole cloth by dispensationalists in England as a way to make the idea of a doctrine focused on Revelation more palatable (“see, you’ll be taken to heaven in secret one day before all this happens”). It’s taken a LOT more root in America than it did in Europe, to the point that it’s mainstream doctrine among a lot of churches (thanks Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins for doing that, you weird fucks).
There were some survivors. Some died willingly knowing what they were doing, a lot of them wound up being forced at gunpoint. The entire compound was being guarded by men with rifles, since they were rightly afraid the US was just going to come down and kill them because the cult had legitimately just murdered a US congressman.
This mission especially brought the “space travel is fake” crowd out. The rocket launch explodes over a deserted area, nobody’s onboard, all the missions are faked, and the splashdowns are in restricted waters to sell the simulation.
Usually this is on top of “well you can’t survive the Van Allen radiation belts”, as if radiation safety and shielding is not a problem we understood and solved before we even lit off Mercury.
Ultimate reasoning for it is either a vague notion of “control”, bread and circuses, or “they do this to defy God”, because space isn’t real and the Firmament lies above the sky.
He pardoned a literal war criminal. Eddie Gallagher shot at civilians so much his team fucked with his sniper equipment to make sure at least his first shot or two missed, to give people time to get away.
I’ll bet it’s a story of “well my car broke down and my job doesn’t pay enough to get it fixed, so it was either walk or get fired (and thus lose health insurance and the pay that’s keeping a roof over my head).” Seen it enough in my lifetime - a coworker used to walk 4 miles down the highway to his workplace for the same reason.
Fighter jet, so it’s probably a Decepticon.
My brother gets this a lot when he goes out with his daughters, and I have been told my dad got this a lot when I was a young child.
Some things get the NASA staff cut on reentry. Yes, I do believe that if he was told to do so, Isaacman would absolutely have killed those astronauts by making reentry changes that would be deadly.
Yeah, same thought here. Even if we reach back to the American Civil War, aside from mechanization, a professional soldier from that era might not find it too much different. The fire support, like cannons, are now usually a dozen miles away (or airborne), but a tank isn’t too distinctively different from an armored traincar, and really the biggest confusion might be the lack of high mobility forces like cavalry.
7, but yes, he’s said that he’s the same person he was in first grade.
Surprising amount of Esperanto speakers, and a few people who speak it as a native tongue.
Cue “Cat’s in the Cradle”…
You’re not throwing propane bombs at libraries if you’re doing some sort of “precisely targeted attack”.
Don’t forget that they’re also very much into the idea of eugenics.
Also to bump numbers for investor calls. “Look at all these positions we’re hiring for, clearly we’re growing and healthy and our growth is natural”. Kinda like hyping up a movie before cancelling it for a tax write-off on the potential income.
