Nice. What’s the motto? Your finger covers part of it.
LOL
Without the air wing, you can move the carrier with a much reduced crew. That’s still about a minimum 400 people or so for a Nimitz class, and at that point it’s a floating barge with some self-defense capability.
And pipe dreams are the beginning of massive cost overruns in ship construction....
1) Carbon composite - hmmm. Maybe for a minesweeper type boat (i.e. small craft). For a large combatant, no. Looks cool, doesn’t rust, light. Now put 5-inch rounds in it. Or even 30mm from a deck or aircraft cannon. Swiss chesse. Let’s not even talk about missiles like the Russian Sunburn, or some of the nastier ones…
You and UAVnoitall are not quite aware of one limitation - bandwidth. Especially in a naval environment, there is quite simply not enough satellite or LOS data link bandwidth to support the video and control data feeds of all or even the majority of the available craft in such a scenario simultaneously. Granted RF…
They call it baptism by proxy. No, they don’t do it with live people. Live people kind of need to be present for their own baptism. That whole thing about it being a decision of free will and all.
Depending on how the ward that recorded this handles records - if you had a close relative who was a member the immediate family is sometimes counted. Even if they’re not baptized. In my experience this was more common in smaller wards. Policy is that only those who’re baptized are supposed to be counted. But some do…
My grandmother-in-law, now deceased, used to tell missionaries of any stripe - Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. - that she was a druid. There was never a single case of them coming back a second time, and the reaction is universally priceless.
It doesn’t surprise me. On the private side, people with director’s units in a Title 22 setting are basically expendable to an owner, let alone most chains. Here’s a quick synopsis of a few of the places my spouse worked at in no particular order:
This. Especially in California. By the time you get the required 12 semester units (specific courses) to begin working as an entry level preschool teacher, you’ve spent enough money and time that in most cases, you would’ve broke even or been better off working at In and Out or Starbucks during that time.
That’s the part that really blows my mind. I’ve never run into a provider before that wouldn’t accept external records from another system in the same city. A similar issue came up when I had a work related injury. The worker’s comp has its own provider network, and when I tried to transfer a copy of the worker’s comp…
That’s the problem. We have printed them out before, then physically handed them to the PCP or ER doc to have them placed in their record. I wouldn’t be surprised if they basically shred the thing as soon as we’re out the door. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve basically lost faith in the system entirely. When your…
I have an interesting question. Do any of these federal statutes help you if you’re trying to transfer in existing records and your current provider won’t accept them?
When I first heard about the possible a few weeks ago, it was on a podcast of a radio show. An interesting position was floated. That while Egypt would get the ships if sold, it was Saudi Arabia and UAE who was doing the bankrolling. Not the Russians. Basically this would give the Arab League the beginnings of its own…
Serious question. One I have thought about for a long time. Instead of fighting over who should be allowed to get a marriage license, why not abolish the requirement for marriage licenses at the federal level?
Better idea. Kickstarter to give it to these guys. If I can’t have my jet pack, I’ll settle for a mech with a Saleen engine built in Texas.
So much for trying to be Fresh AND Easy....while I go before the pun firing squad, some entertainment...
