Who’s the U-boat commander?

Has anyone considered the possibility that Manning’s rule-breaking behavior, perhaps including this suicide attempt, are a pattern of behavior executed by a dissatisfied person who is resisting the judgement and confinement levied by the UCMJ system?

Not preheating an oven means that the food will be immediately exposed to a broiler for 10 to 20 minutes, since the elements will go to red hot to bring the oven up to temperature. Such broiler exposure may not be compatible with the recipe.

They should have led with the headline, “American person wins a second medal.” That would have been factual, thoroughly adequate, and perfectly uninteresting.

Is it just me, or does this story seem to have less to do with the two women passengers’ being Muslim and more to do with an overly-sensitive flight attendant overreacting and escalating to one of their criticism of the FA staff’s handling of the delay service?

Where is the outrage over the 5,000 gallons of Jet-A Swift burnt “hustling” from party to wedding back to party? That’s more non-renewable fuel than most people burn in a year. Oh, the CO2 humanity!!!

The disc brakes also get very hot.
