Hey, I thought rugby players were _tough_ !!!
Plus it masks the suspicion that they're really smoking some _weird_ sh*t
Oh well
I always wondered about that stuff, suspicious since Back In The Day when I had to work a little with Agent Orange. Luckily I was a school-trained Staff Chemical NCO and knew enough to treat it like the dangerous chemical agent it was. I wonder how smart and careful many of the people working with Roundup are?
Ditto. "Scalpers" is the correct term. I hope they catch on fire and die.
Man, aren't they ever going to run out of those things. Are they building them new, or are these recycled ICBM's or some such?
The minute or two I spent listing to the sample track at that site
Bollywood dance music is bad enough
Images and videos of Russian tank trucks burning on the way into Afghanistan come to mind.
I never envied the tank truck drivers in Vietnam that I viewed rolling down the highways either.
And DO check out the list of web sites and companies that have been breached. Damn, I'm not even through the "A's" yet, and I'm already disgusted
I have absolutely no sympathy for someone being killed by a train.
That's one interesting number of "rather than" associations
I remember, long long ago (back in the 80's) seeing a new version of Windows suddenly able to handle
No problem, Bill: we forgive you. Well, at least I do. I donno about Greg Roelofs, who took over the Info-ZIP duties when I finally burned out. https://infozip.sourceforge.ne... Ah, good old Greg. He kept a sense of humor throughout, don't ask me how.
Interesting times, and a very challenging objective: to have zip archive functionality on everything from Commodore C-64's to Cray supercomputers! We did it too! Even the encryption capability, which gave NASA such fits that we had to "import" the code from a kind donor in France
Years ago I talked to a lot of people who were WW II vets (male and female, surprisingly), and used the GI bill to go to college. I was very surprised to learn how little that paid, but then again how little college cost if you just watched the living expenses.
Nothing like that now, of course. The Army helped a bit with the tuition for the Continuing Ed classes I managed to squeeze in after / between my duties at Army ROTC, UMASS. But just a bit: it didn't even pay for it all
But by that time staying in was the wiser course: half way to my retirement, still getting _some_ education, enjoying my work, etc. I never did get that BS in Psychology (maybe 2 courses short, but they were high level 4th year courses that needed a decent resident school, and I just couldn't manage that). But that's okay: after retirement, I went into computer programming (self-taught), a field that didn't need any education at all! Because all the old Computer Science and Programming courses were outdated, all designed for the big old-fashioned mainframes, etc. And I could see that Microsoft and microcomputers were the way it was going. I never got rich (despite the temptation to sell the house and move to Washington State), but I learned a lot, contributed some, did some interesting stuff. And didn't have many of the problems that my compadres that retired around that time were having.
I wouldn't have used a single bit of all that Psychology education either, but that's okay. Learning to study, expanding horizons, all that sort of stuff: that's what really mattered.
Remember that place? Prime real estate (buildings, parade fields and all; never mind the duds on the artillery and mortar ranges)
