@Rukifellth@tanpukunokami No it’s not — I had no idea what my at the time gf was talking about the first time she said it. I also had no idea what she was saying the first time she said Sumo.
@Patent8579793B1@R_DiAngelosBull JFC — they were lobbing mortars all night long at Balad for years damaging buildings and aircraft. They were attacking the gates at Kandahar regularly. But you wouldn’t know because it wasn’t on the news every day.
@shrededward@estherzelda0514 I was unaware that there was a lot of oil in Manchuria. Xi must be a fool importing all that Middle Eastern oil. The Greater East Asia Prosperity Sphere was about a great deal more than just oil.

@theron_chase Want to know the difference in cost for a large Coke and a small at a fast food restaurant? It’s almost 0. Same pricing theory applies here. Research the Intel 486 math co-processor pricing if you want a real surprise.
@DriverHawk@PeruvianBetty@MCCCANM Not 100% — I (along with about 10 other people at the same time) failed a closed book once for abbreviating “ENG POWER CONT LEVERS” as “PCLs”. NATOPS wasn’t even consistent at the time and actually used PCL for other procedures.
@screw_twatter9x@thenewarea51 The Army has almost no fixed wing aviation and the Air Force has almost no helicopter aviation. You don’t go from the Army to the Air Force. You’re talking to someone who has been through a military flight training syllabus. You washout of any program and you’re done.
@Sloopythesloop@303SnowWolf@InfantryPilot He also had several thousand hours on the 737. Looks more like he was new to the 767 and didn’t have much experience on it. Might have made a great FO but needed a seasoned captain to build experience.
