@KRL_defi_ Damn. Dude could have lived a little more frugally (still wealthy lifestyle) in year one, banked what was left, and lived off the interest. Every year after that is extra.
Happy Hump Day ✌️A Bernoulli Hump is a surface bulge a boat makes if speed vs depth is not managed properly. It may be less than an inch high, but modern ASW radar can detect the disturbance from many miles away. Run silent, RUN DEEP.
I was third on a list to go do EW support for the Army in Iraq. I don’t have to go. Most of the time I’m grateful I never went to Iraq. But sometimes, when I see this stuff, I wish I had.

I put together a full breakdown on why this design misses the mark and what honoring that generation should actually look like.
Veterans, Gold Star families, and anyone who lived through 9/11 and the years that followed: what’s your honest reaction when you see it? Does it feel right to you, or is something off?
A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.
He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.
He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."
He grabbed a remote and shook his head.
