@SteveKim323 A hint of sarcasm. But, the old Orange Bowl would easily be top 5, maybe number 1.

@redseamonitor I'd start looking at pipelines to Aqaba/Eilat, Port Said, and Haifa. Also, I'd be ready to bomb the crap out of the Houthis again. Longer term, Suez needs to be expanded.

@CynicalPublius Nice Henry V pull!

@AlexiLalas This is how you get deported.

Around 1,950 years ago in Pompeii, a weaver named Successus fell in love with a barmaid named Iris.

She did not love him back.

We know this because his rival, a man named Severus, decided to humiliate him publicly. He grabbed something sharp and carved this into a wall for the whole city to read:

"Successus the weaver loves the innkeeper's slave girl named Iris. She does not care about him at all. But he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye."

Imagine walking to work and seeing that with your name on it.

Successus found it. And instead of letting it go, he carved his reply directly underneath:

"Envious one, why do you get in the way? Yield to a man who is better looking and being treated very unfairly."

Severus came back one more time to end it:

"I have spoken. I have written. You love Iris, but she does not love you."

Then, in 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried the wall, the tavern, and the entire argument under 20 feet of ash. The thread was frozen mid-beef for almost two millennia until archaeologists dug it up and translated it.

We will never know who got the girl. We do not even know if any of the three survived.

Pompeii has over 11,000 of these inscriptions. Bar reviews. Bragging. Bad poetry. A bakery wall that says "Welcome, hungry people." Two guys fighting over a girl in the comments.

The technology changes. We do not.

@GlennJacobsTN @SEC @BFW @mostlysports @clubtrillion The entire SEC should be an option.

@GBNT1952 Ok... I'll behave myself.

[KyleH @HippchenK]

@GBNT1952 It's like spoiling the plot of Titanic.

@RMConservative I think in general, yes. However, I think with the rise of AI and social media, it might be possible to pull the inside straight. But you have to have right candidate at the right time.

@shevereshtus I think this is also the result of a hyper-feminized society. Men will destroy each other and then go have a beer.

@ClayTravis What happened to boobs and the 1st Amendment?

@ChristinaPushaw A would be my first choice. B is underrated, but avoid Orlando. E would be third.

@bonchieredstate I want to go one day. But, it's only to pay my respects to Yuri Gagarin.

On this date in 1925, a headache became history.

When Wally Pipp asked to sit out the game, @Yankees manager Miller Huggins turned to his bench and penciled in Lou Gehrig at first base.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

@DeaceOnline Very similar to what Dante says in Inferno. The damned freely choose it.

@DKThomp The are only about 180K ATP pilots in the US. Of that, only about 155K, are employed in a flying job.
