Huh, I see single cab Tacomas all over the place that don’t look more than four or five years old. What’s up with that?

Well at the time many of us just didn’t appreciate how great those things were. Hard to love not having bills when you’ve never paid them before, after all. Plus there’s all the hormones and relationship drama. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it happens to lots of people and it definitely seems like a big deal at…

Duct tape. It can be cut to size as a replacement bandaid/moleskin OR used (along with a piece of plastic) to stick an improvised occlusive dressing on a sucking chest wound. (Note: I don’t know how common those are in the real world, but every Army first aid class harped on them)

I definitely think they should be allowed to serve. And even relatively non-elite training like Army Airborne School have been using a single physical fitness standard for a while now. The problem has always been at the unit level, where low expectations generate low performance (across the board really). I’m not sure…

Needs some editing, imo.

Go, Dog, Go will always have a special place in my heart as the first school assignment that made me look like an idiot. I can clearly remember it, even now. I was in kindergarten and I had to write about a book. I can't remember if books were assigned or we got to pick, or even if we were all writing about GDG, but I…

"It's these old homes, they're not quite square sometimes and they settle," I tell my fiancee every time this happens.

In some cases, it can be a lot like the fish-in-a-barrel experience commenters here are imagining, with some ranches fencing in less than 100 acres (a little bigger than an 18 hole golf course) but some fenced ranches include 4,800 acres. The first case is usually considered "not really hunting" because like you say,…

I don't think it's just the fences they've got the problem with since they said:

I am a 30 second bomb! I am a 30 second bomb!

Army-issue laces actually work better as a friction saw than cord. That's why I never replaced mine.

It's better to be badder than bad than to sound like Joey Tribbiani's resume.

I'm not sure about population density on this one. For example, I would guess that the populated parts (the important parts for this kind of thing) of California are more dense than say Mississippi. There might be some places were extreme density one way or the other is a major factor (like maybe the high plains), but…

Well, everything else uses the Latinized names (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, etc) so we'd better just stick to Terra.

See, maybe I'm just an optimist but I had just assumed that OP misinterpreted "in the HRE during the last days of the Middle Ages" as being in the last days of the HRE during the Middle Ages. Which would of course be a valid thing to criticize because everyone knows that the HRE continued through the renaissance.

...I'm just hearing about this now?!

Like something based on The Mongoliad?

I always check other and write Cajun.

What you seem to be so upset about, with the heirs and such, seems to be matrilineal descent patterns. Which makes it weird that you describe it as misogyny since women in matrilineal societies do tend to have a higher degree of freedom.
