Now there is a bright idea!  When you are having trouble recruiting, throw away experienced troops who cannot shave!

"...Navy will remove sailors with medical shaving conditions after 1 year of failed treatment..."

Medical shaving conditions? That exists?

Is that like a 5 o'clock shadow?

Don't be obtuse.  That's a racist directive aimed straight at black men.

Some men can't shave without causing various medical conditions.


Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a minor disease affecting only, and almost all, blacks who shave. Because of a continued requirement by the US Army of clean shaven faces, significant interracial...

I showed the kids a video of a satellite that we built (for one of the Programs I work on) - it launched from Vandenberg earlier this week. It shows the satellites being deployed - cool stuff. The 4 year old told me that's so people can see your face on their cell phones. I looked at him and I said you're right - wondering how he could possibly know this. Turns out they watch this show called CrunchLabs with Mark Roper who was a NASA Aerospace Engineer and he designed a satellite that does exactly that! Here I thought I was all cool and that! Nope! The 4 year old had it all figured out!

 Trump fires Election Assistance Commission leaders
By

The White House on Thursday fired the leadership of the federal agency that provides funding and security guidance to election officials— a move that’s already raising alarm bells among election officials about federal interference ahead of the midterms.

 EAC is one of the few remaining federal entities tasked with providing election security support to states. Created by Congress in 2002, the agency is meant to be bipartisan. It certifies voting equipment and has administered hundreds of millions of dollars in federal support for elections.

The EAC has also been in the awkward position of trying not to draw the president’s ire while also standing up for election officials who have faced violent threats because of conspiracy theories pushed by the president. Some election officials feel the agency has fallen short on the latter.

“It is irresponsible and dangerous that this administration remains dead set on causing chaos for our election officials across this country,” Adrian Fontes, the Democratic secretary of state of Arizona, said in a statement reacting to the EAC purge. “This move undermines the integrity of nonpartisan election administration.”

School voucher system here in Florida. Less fortunate can access private schools.  You must be thinking of democrats who are against school choice.  ;)

Again you show your complete dumbazzery.  'School choice' is no less than financial fraud - the transfer of taxpayer monies to private 'enterprise'... pure corruption.

US launches new airstrikes on Iran, with Tehran firing back at 3 Gulf Arab states
The attacks appeared bigger all around, with sirens sounding at least three times in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters, and missiles targeting Kuwait and Qatar.

Both sides escalate hoping for other to blink.

Girls are pretty easy...I could pull out a coloring book and crayons or bubbles. Head off a temper tantrum at the pass.

We used timeout.  If you were put on timeout and you acted out anymore, I just added time.  They learned quick that if I had already gotten to the point where I have had to put them on timeout and they are still gonna try to punish me by spazzing out even more, that all it would accomplish is sitting on timeout longer.  I'd literally just say, "that's 5 minutes longer" and I'd if they still kept acting out after that ... I'd just say that's 10 minutes longer.  So on and so forth. 

I just had the belt growing up, and I was a good kid.

My cousin called me tonight around 10.  We talked for about 25 min.  She must have been drinking.  She told me she loves me 10 times. 

I hadn't seen her since probably 10-12 years ago.  They are moving down by my place in SC.  I told them when they are looking at places they can stay at my place.  I told her it is livable, but not finished.  It's free, tho.  I told her I'll FaceTime her and show her the place, so she can decide.

Yes it is.

It's so antiquated that you have to be clean shaven.  It serves no purpose.

Makes sense but never thought of it
Talking on TV news about when a president flies in a dangerous area they can fly in corkscrew pattern to lessen chances of being hit by surface to air missile

Quite a choke to not have that on a brand new AF1

I was wondering how they got a years long refit done so quickly.  Answer is, they didn't
