Carrier groups normally have logistical supply ships called tenders that can come and go, but it looks like they pivoted to Iran without laying in stock or coordinating resupply. They were also blocking mail flow, which points to "no supply ships" as well.

This is just abusive, which should be no surprise. Trump et al don't give one fuck about actual soldiers or sailors, they just want the glory of slaughter while doing the least possible for the "suckers" who serve. Big fucking empty words from those assholes, somehow even more so than usual.

Normal deployments are bad enough, but I can guarentee moral is in the absolute shitter right now. This kind of shit is why people stock up on canned chicken/tuna/etc when in port. The food on the ships is normally terrible, but to also not even have enough calories to work the 7 day a week you do underway is just fucking unconscionable.

That why a rhetorical tool that personalizes death may work.

Something like "okay, your mother is now dead. And now your wife, and auntie and even your old highschool girlfriend. You watch them all die, bewildered and distraught, but you do nothing until your son dies in front of you, choking on a resporator, pleading in his eyes until the very end."

"You can stop the rest of your family dying right now right now, right way. you can even save your own life, in a way that will also save other peoples mothers, wifes, and sons. Will you?"

I think this a gotcha aimed at the GOP, as the congresswoman is a shitty Florida republican.

Just a few days back, Ilhan Omar replied back to Trump insulting her and somalia with the following:

"The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them."

The right wing flipped its shit as usual and tried to say she was threatening the presidents life. I think Elijah is just turning that dumb bullshit around here.

He had someone apprehended in the back of the car at the time. He fired like 5 shots into it, and luckily the guy wasent hit.

He shouldnt be mocked, but fired and arrested for gross negligence. Im sure neither happened.

EDIT: looks like he and his partner unloaded 22 shots at his handcuffed and restrained suspect, and the acorn cop resigned. It was Florida, so of course no charges were ever filed.

How about a live album of a concert in NYC that featured the twin towers on fire that was released on 9/11

I found the album a few weeks later in stores, even after they pulled it. Solid.

Its a long one, but a great primer on renewables if you arent into the topic.

This is a bit of odd praise, but he also does some excellent math to compare how much space and resources we waste on single use gasoline compared to what 30+ year solar panels using simliar space would net us for near zero cost long term.

The numbers arent even close, like how we currently use an 120 acre ethonol corn field to power 2 million miles in gasoline cars, or we could use a 120 acre solar farm to generate 72 million miles in electric cars. 2 vs 72 million for the same footprint and somehow the solar is also cheaper long term. A pretty easy choice.

EDIT:

Just finished it. The last 30 minutes slaps like a bad motherfucker too. It should be played in fucking civics classes.

Outside this community: someone who programs computers.

In this community: no one has any fucking idea how to answer that.

It was the most wishlisted game on steam ever, priced at a very reasonable $20, and it released today after a 6 year wait with almost no press before the last couple of weeks. All the press it did receive was about how the devs were just having a good time, which was insanely endearing.

It's basically the ultimate indie darling at this point. I 100% believe it could crash all the platforms above.

This is called "bolting" in gardening terms, when a plant goes to flower or seed.

Hilton was also kidnapped and shipped off to several "scared straight" torture camps by her family as a teenager..

She had some horrible shit done to her, and apprently vowed to make her own money separate from her family. The vapid, "that's hot" party girl persona was her succeeding.

Shes come out hard against what happened to her and tries to help current victims. She managed to get legislation passed to help them, but also takes a more direct approach.
