I suspect you live in North America. If so it would make sense that it is easier to use the, what did you call it, “American Customary” system. It is the native system of measurement here. I have lived in the good ol US for most of my life but I had zero issues with using the metric system when I lived abroad for 4+…

“Deputies went to the home of Kristine Hayes, Miller’s grandmother, who had legal guardianship of the teen, on the morning of March 31. Upon hearing what had happened, Hayes was “extremely emotional and visibly shaken,” investigative documents say.

All choices have consequences.

Most people on these meds do not know what they, and do not engage properly with the prescriber in order to give the necessary feedback to get on the right drugs and then get the dosages right. Medical science itself is often fuzzy on how these meds do what they do.

We trade stories about the different psychiatric medications we’ve tried.

Can’t resist making the obvious joke.

This is much more of a political problem then a military problem. The issue is allocation of resources for most European countries. Although many of those countries have obtained smart weapons and the platforms to deliver them, they simply don’t have the numbers necessary. Aircraft like the Gripen and F-16 which are…

Loved the sound but yes we threw pistons and turbochargers on a regular basis :( I was a radar operator/ICT on EC and RC-121's in the 60's. Most memorable takeoff was from McDill AFB during the Cuban Missile crisis, as the pilot opened the throttles a pack of F-105's on the parallel runway hit the afterburners :)

This is what happens when you elect an amatuer.

Maybe?

The C-17 is always impressive with its capabilities.

Eh, if North Korea considers capturing a warship to be an act of war, then they’d already be at war over this Sang-O (which lives happily in South Korea):

America’s largest trading partner.. is CANADA .. China’s largest trading partner is.. AMERICA ... followed by a looong list of US allies.. including Japan and South Korea ... the Chinese economy would fair WAY worse than the American economy. Entire cities in China specialise in manufacturing 1 thing.. like Christmas…

The Chinese economy would suffer far worse in this hypothetical war than the US. That’s the advantage of a consumer driven economy, and the reason we have a trade deficit. Why Trump thinks a trade deficit is such a terrible thing is beyond me.

I think the US is just showing it has no problem flexing some muscle if it really comes down to a fight.

So as a public-schooled American, can someone give me the digest version of Australia-NZ relations? I just assume that NZ is like Australia’s Canada.

They need some Freedom, ASAP!

Couldn’t agree more and just look at the pathetic shenanigans going on in the presidential race, if that kind of rhetoric went on anywhere else on earth the US would be lining up for an invasion.The blind led by morons.

The greatest threat to Europe is not Putin but the immigration wave, and the US political system (except those who cannot be bought like Trump) supports Europe’s destruction. As such, unless Trump becomes president, the US should be considered an enemy to the people of Europe, NOT an ally or friend. I could care less…
