Thank you for that.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Very good points sir. So what reading material got you to this understanding?

Well it's wrong in that it's based on Census 2000 data. Based on Census 2010 data the percentage of Hawaiians has gone down further. But your gist is correct.

Reaction to the first part: "Oh good lord."

Reaction to the second part: "YEARGGGG."

Oy.

I don't know if I should reciprocate or contemplate it all in mute horror.

It's helpful to realize that CIWS stands for Close In Weapon Systems since these are weapon systems with engagement ranges of 4-5 km and effective ranges of 1/3 of that. So while the current version of the Phalanx can elevate to 85 degrees above horizontal the engagement range will be so short that the ship will…

Thank you for your consideration.

I think I get it and I understand your point since there is the potential for it to be a great equalizer in marriage. However, the current system offers great incentives and the potential transition to this will be fraught with difficulty, enough to put some folks off it. But I do…

Well that's your right but this is the slow course to acceptance the US is charting for over the last 50 years and it shows no signs of going away. Also most people like to see some good news in their day.

In those cases the teacher is the potential lead to define what the child needs to…

I did that to both of my thumbs early on. A bit of blood and ugly thumbnails for a couple months. Whee!

I don't know if there is a book but there are plenty of web forums and you can go to regional theatre meets or industry nights at some bars and just listen.

Plus if you ply a group of crew folk with enough booze, or…

Well working in the entertainment business leads to long hours frequently. About 35 years ago now, class was 15 years ago, he was putting in long hours on a build and went to use a table saw. Didn't pay attention and trimmed his middle finger shorter. At the time of the class it just looked like a short middle…

I still see it on the front page of the news and on the radio every day since it started. But my news consumption habits are not that mainstream.

My shop teach still had 10 but lost the tip of his left middle finger due to tiredness.
