There's a regular uniform allowance for enlisted troops, but if you're in a "high-speed" unit where your leaders force you to buy the optional new uniform or sew-on badges or something, then you'll be out a lot of your own money.

No joke, there's like a 4-generation cycle. Someone won't name their kid after their grandparents, because those names sound old fashioned. But the names of their great-grandparent's generation won't have that stigma, so they'll fall into the "uncommon but not made up or otherwise flawed" sweet spot.

Jane/Michael and Petra/Rafael on JtV are interracial relationships, by US standards.

Webb has too much baggage to be VP. Probably too much to even be in the cabinet. Specifically, he's said stuff in favor of his Confederate heritage and against women in the military that would be a political liability.

I actually never quite finished season 2, but your post is making me want to.

Blasting through ten plots in Reign would be a huge improvement over spending months on the interminable Mary/Francis/Prince Conde triangle.

Let's just say I'll be up here about one weekend a month and that my username is relevant here.

For reasons too dumb to recount, I'm stuck in Wilkes-Barre for the weekend. So I went to a family-owned Mexican restaurant with a waitress who looked just like Gina Rodriguez, and had a similarly friendly and optimistic demeanor. Then I went to Target. In other words, I'm eagerly awaiting Jane the Virgin's return next

The Lake George question was pretty easy. I've never heard of the lake, but Britain was ruled by a King George from 1714 to 1830. So it's the only reasonable guess.

That article's from 2012. In the 2014 elections, Republican candidates for the US House got 40 million votes, while Democrats got 36 million votes.

Yeah, 27% of voters didn't vote on the 2nd part of the ballot, because one of the two main parties had a problem with how it was set up. They need a simple "status quo or statehood" referendum.

In presidential elections it's super Democratic. But Democratic turnout falls somewhat in off-off-year elections like 2015, when we elect the state legislature and school board.

Strictly speaking, our neighbor to the North is the Potomac river. Loudoun is to our Northwest.

The pentagon is on Jefferson Davis Highway. Occasionally Arlingtonites are like "maybe we should rename this," and their city leaders are like, "we can't, it's a state highway."

I'm probably the biggest Wikipedian on the AV Club, with 15,000 edits. And in some ways this describes me pretty well.

No, she didn't. Ziva David was replaced by NSA analyst Eleanor Bishop, played by Emily Wickersham.

It seemed extremely clear to me. 1) Starbuck is a normal human being, albeit one with a special destiny. 2) She dies. 3) She comes back as angel. It's the same being, just returned to the mortal realm, Jesus-style. 4) She completes her job, then goes back to the afterlife. In no way does that betray or invalidate the

The only Trump supporter I know in the local GOP supports him because he views Trump as a fellow troll. His words, not mine.

Wow… every single piece of legislation? I thought the Library of Congress Book Protection Act of 1994 was meant to let the librarians assess late fines on people with overdue books, but apparently it was instead part of an Obammunist plot to steal all our freedoms and make us slaves of the UN.

I worked 2 double shifts at the guard shack. In other words, I spent 32 hours in a glass and concrete box.
