"WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army has awarded the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft contract to Bell Textron, Incorporated."
After having this uncertainty hanging over my career for 2 and a half years, we finally have a decision. And we won! Wooo job security!
My wife's pregnancy that is. Shes at 34 weeks. So nearing the point where it could all happen at any moment. 37 weeks is the point of "full term".
Don't have pictures since they're not allowed during sonograms.
Been finding myself getting slowly eaten away by the latent stress of it all. Emotional regulation is harder. Random times of nothing sounding appealing. Losing passion for things I enjoy for a day, then being fine the next. Seems like sticking to working out helps. I always feel much better the day after. And start to go off the rails more if I skip more than 2 or 3 days.
While I agree with the superiority of ducks over chickens (they can fly, swim, and walk), it seems like a stretch to say a duck is the ideal chicken.
@ttyymmnn 3 more years of factory warranty seems worth $600. And knowing the entire history of the car. As long as there's not any equipment on the used one you'd like to have it seems new is a pretty good deal.
Making friends as an adult is hard. And there's lots of studies/articles on how it's becoming especially hard for men.
It doesn't seem to matter what you're into it's difficult. It's like the only acceptable activities to gather for are drinking and sports. And even then good luck getting the friendship past those activities.
On the bright side, the internet at least gives us refuges like Oppo. It's not the same as in person interaction, but it also not nothing.
And do not feel bad about crying. It's just a normal response to some emotions. Emotions that it's completely normal to feel. It's taken me years to finally get to where I'm physically capable of crying after spending most of my life avoiding it to the point where I couldn't.
It's part of why I openly share that I went for a very emotional and tear filled 2am drive just one week after my daughter was born. When the difficulty of a newborn drove me to my emotional breaking point. Some situations just call for it as a response, and there's nothing un-manly about it.
But have you had the Texas version? Chopped brisket, bbq beans, bbq sauce, and cheese all on top of a plate of Fritos.
I thought it was pretty good. Nice easy way to have your bbq meats and sides all mixed together in one pile of delicious.
Let the weak grass die. Only the strong deserves to live there.
This is the philosophy I take with my whole yard.
Thats some wild high temps!
I think I got to 103s when I had strep throat as a kid. Saw low 102s during my bought of covid.
I would say to hell with the normal advice, and pick your friends' nose.
@Mr-Ontop I've heard the airshows count as training time that the pilots and crews would need to do anyway. So its just a question of whether they do that publicly or off on some training range.
So still a lot of money. But money that'd be spent regardless.
@davesaddiction Fair enough. They do have an oil and gas division though!.
@davesaddiction Was that office that closed Siemens? My wife has an uncle in OK that had that situation happen. Remember hearing how everyone in their office was being told to move if they wanted to keep their jobs.
2020 Veloster N: 275hp, 2.0L
2014 Sienna: 266hp, 3.5L
1994 Silverado, 185hp, 5.0L
726hp, 10.5L, 18cyl. 69hp/L
Honestly expected the hp/L to be worse because of the truck. But I guess the Veloster almost makes up for it.
Holy crap that price is cheap. I'd expect a roller without any engine at all to cost like 4 or 5x that. But I suck at guessing values. So maybe I'm crazy.
Whenever I see power numbers from electric cars, I always wonder for how long. Is that a few seconds, or can the cooling system keep that up indefinitely?
@ash78 They're certainly not few and far between where I'm at. The majority of trucks are lifted here. It's almost startling to see a regular height truck.
@nermal said in So many questions:
The driver of the truck would be fine though.
And that's all they care about. They see it as a safety win. They do not care about others, and it often shows. The height of their truck is usually only one of many tells to this.
