since I got to the bay in 2014

Well, since at the time he was 47 and she was 19, I’m hopeful his reaction today is more along the line of “Wow, I still got it...but, no.”

Addendum: since the vast majority of those reading this aren’t going to be familiar with military culture and just how far reaching the powers of a dysfunctional chain of command can be compared to civilian bosses, this awful story popped up on my twitter feed yesterday.

After Fox nearly bankrupted itself making Cleopatra, (Zanuck) came in and took control

I’m with you on The Postman being halfway decent. Incidentally, both it and the For Love of the Game adaptations were actually were quite a bit better than their source material.

Yes and no. If this route remains available, I could easily envision a scenario where command could resolve her UCMJ violation with 10 seconds of verbal counseling, while his would be referred to another courts martial seeking involuntary separation and another BCD.

As I mention above, the discrepancy is that men are more likely to be assaulted while being hazed, which is generally done by those in one’s chain. It also implies that some commands are still turning a blind eye to this stupidity.

Unfortunately, while I’m equally disturbed by the story, I’d very much disagree with you on there being fault in the reporting process and the consigning of G/O writing on the military or veterans over the last four or five years as background props for whatever else they’re advocating for.

While this is lovely snark, there actually is a very serious issue behind all this.

IIRC, north of 6 servings of caffeine a day is actually considered an indication for a sleep study on many screening tools.

Zucchini cut into noodle-shaped strips... an affront to Italian food or tolerable?

Presuming it is the former, did you ever treat a Stage IV case where chemo was initially as effective as he’s implying?

I thought it was really well done to illustrate both the incredibly cruel but necessary banality as well as the brutal effects on the soldiers, but it was still hard enough to watch that I did a few 5 second skips.

You might even be able to find an LED replacement for the tubes nowadays.

couple of decades because of the Depression and the war

...came the Albigensians/Cathars. In the 13th century, the Catholic Church was so “secure in its own power” that it launched a Crusade against southern France.

I’m going to visit my grandfather’s grave after I attend the Memorial Day remembrance at his cemetery. While it’s not on his death certificate, aftereffects from his war service were largely what killed him a few years later.

I’d still very much consider that red. Just more the natural-progression-as-you-get-older red rather than what you have through your early 20s, especially since you weren’t a copper to begin with.
