Meh, I already did it. /s

Find a picture of a modern day Marine with a similar build, just 1. Even our Generals are in excellent shape. Being in shape is a part of discipline and combat readiness. You want a fat slob next to you in a foxhole, or someone highly trained physically and mentally?

That's not Apple's fault, that's the fault of the app developer.

It's 6 years old! I have a Macbook Pro still running Tiger! It's 8 years old. Tiger is and was the most stable of all the OSX's released and I'm still loving it.

Dummy, that's Facebook's fail, not Apple's.

A fit Marine is a better combat weapon than a lethargic overweight Marine, so yes, the fighting force today is much more agile and dangerous.

Go to the mountains of Afghanistan or the streets of Fallujah and tell me those aren't real enemies with resources and training. The threats today are just as deadly as they were back then, even more so in some ways because back then, you could tell who your enemies were because they wore uniforms.

No, it doesn't diminish his service, it does however point to how we train and recruit new Marines today.

A coworker and I were talking about this song just today.

Wow. As someone that recently had a CT to examine if I had a aneurism in my aorta, this scares the hell out of me.

Very nice. I wonder if the sound would be even better with classical instruments.

I know what the best one's do.

"And you don't want to see the videos of bullfighters, but those are there too. Gruesome, fatal, and views in the millions."

I could care less about Tim Cook. He's shown he's not much more than an operations guy. Job's biggest mistake was elevating this guy to CEO rather than one of their design or software engineers.

Are you turning the oven on? If you are, that jerky cost you a lot of money.

Still fun. Not everyone looks at Design and Concept. Lightin' up a bit.
