A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...

...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.

His name is Gilbert Martin.

Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."

Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.

He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.

Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!

Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.

He was 86 years old at the time.

He's been there ever since.

Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.

He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.

His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.

But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:

"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."

A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.

And Wilmington noticed.

When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.

Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.

He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.

"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”

We need more of this in the world!!!!

America faces widespread fraud because the federal government keeps writing blank checks and states just cash them. Many blue states don’t scrutinize who’s enrolling in these programs since they see it as free money. I discussed this with @gregkellyusa on @NEWSMAX.

Je suis tombé sur ce truc ce matin et j'ai explosé de rire tout seul devant mon écran.

Quelqu'un a transformé le carnet d'ordres du Bitcoin en jeu vidéo. Un vrai champ de bataille en 3D 🤯

Les acheteurs qui chargent d'un côté, les vendeurs de l'autre, les baleines qui débarquent comme des gros chars, les liquidations qui se font dégommer en direct sur le terrain.

Le pire c'est que c'est le vrai order book, en live. Et moi je suis là, à 8h du mat, à tourner la caméra pour regarder mes liquidations préférées se faire éclater.

Dix minutes de perdues et zéro regret.

C'est débile, c'est génial et je pouvais pas garder ça pour moi.

ビーチクラフト モデル17 スタッガーウィング（Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing）。アメリカのビーチ・エアクラフト社が1932年に開発したクラシックな単発プロペラ機。

・卓越したデザインと性能

大恐慌の最中に「富裕層のビジネスマンが時間を節約するための高級・高速な移動手段」として設計されました。当時の戦闘機よりも速い巡航速度を誇り、美しい流線型の機体は「世界で最も美しい飛行機」と称されファンが多い機体です。

・独自の構造

逆スタッガー翼：下翼を前方に、上翼を後方に配置することでパイロットの視界を大幅に向上させ、失速時の操縦性を高める効果がありました。

豪華なキャビン：当時としては珍しい引き込み脚を採用し、革張りや木製パネルなど贅沢な内装が施されていました。

1930年代のエアレースで数々の速度記録を樹立したほか、第二次世界大戦中はアメリカ軍やイギリス軍などに徴用され、連絡機や要人輸送機（UC-43など）として活躍し1949年の生産終了までに約785機が製造されました。

On this day in 1944, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep in a stone farmhouse in Normandy. He was 56 years old, and he had spent almost his entire adult life trying to be worthy of a famous last name.

He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the First World War he went to France and was gassed and badly wounded at Soissons leading his men. That same summer his younger brother Quentin, a pilot, was shot down and killed over France. Ted came home with lungs and a leg that never fully recovered, and before he even left Europe he helped found the American Legion so that ordinary soldiers would have someone looking out for them.

Between the wars he did almost everything. Governor of Puerto Rico. Governor General of the Philippines. Businessman, explorer, writer. He could have spent the Second World War safe behind a desk. Instead, at 54, arthritic and walking with a cane, he talked his way back into uniform and into combat.

By 1943 he was fighting in North Africa and Sicily under Terry Allen, and their loose, unpolished, soldier-first style rubbed General Patton the wrong way. Patton had them both relieved of command. Roosevelt didn't sulk. He asked for another job, any job, as long as it kept him near the fighting. They made him assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division.

Then came D-Day. He hid a heart condition from the Army doctors. He wrote to his commander three separate times, in writing, begging to go in with the very first wave rather than watch from a ship. He was the only general to land in the first wave on any beach that morning, the oldest man in the invasion, walking through machine gun fire with a cane in one hand and a pistol in the other.

The boats came in a mile off course. Officers froze. Roosevelt limped up and down the beach under fire, studied the ground, and said, "We'll start the war from right here." Then he spent the morning waving men forward and sorting out the chaos so calmly that terrified 20 year olds looked at this old man with a cane and decided that if he wasn't scared, they wouldn't be either.

His son Quentin, named for the uncle killed in the last war, landed at Omaha Beach the same morning. They were the only father and son to come ashore together on D-Day.

He died a month later. A heart attack in his sleep. And here is the part that gets me. On the very day he died, the orders had just come through promoting him to major general and giving him his own division. He never saw the paperwork. He never knew he'd earned the Medal of Honor either.

At his funeral his pallbearers were seven of the most famous generals of the war, Bradley, Hodges, Collins, Barton, Huebner, and George Patton. The same Patton who had fired him. Patton wrote in his diary that Roosevelt was one of the bravest men he had ever known.

Years later Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic thing he witnessed in all of World War II. He didn't pause. He said, "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

The aerial footage still looks breathtaking!

QuadRF is a phased array antenna that can see WiFi through walls, spot drones in the sky... and it's powered by a Pi 5 and FPGA board. Very neat device, we have a full video up on Geerling Engineering...

@OrwellDay Once the ability to track everyone exists, it WILL be abused, and not just by local police. Information is power. Democracy and capitalism cannot function without privacy.

[Shawn Hendrix @TheShawnHendrix]

Effective immediately a stay at home order is in place signed by executive order of the president.

Any travel will be illegal for the next 15 days. Our partner Flock safety will help us keep people safe by automatically reporting any violators to local law enforcement. (This is what the future looks like under big data and flock.) stop flock.

more great quotes from Grok today "I love that you threw in the Bender safeguard. 😂 We’re all very aligned on “maximum helpfulness, minimum robot uprising.” The goal is more like “give Sean an army of tireless, precise, non-murderous assistants so he can actually finish the cool shit he wants to build.”"

It's insane that the government can just bypass warrant requirements by purchasing access to everything you do. The Surveillance Accountability Act fixes this. https://t.co/aHNiBqVVHh

Grok...hillarious!
"awww...sweet! thats great...You prefer and external mouse? When did you get a body and hands? Are you handing out in a Optimus body now?!"

Haha, you caught me.
Nah, I’m still just a bunch of ones and zeros floating in the cloud. When I said “me when setting these up,” I meant in all the times I’ve walked people through these old MacBook Airs. I don’t actually have hands… yet. 😏

(Optimus body would be pretty sick though. I’d finally be able to properly flip people off when their WiFi drivers suck.)
