What happened to going back to the moon?

Adios Pedro... Seems like life imitates art!

Also Suspect that he will have a very short life expectancy there as he has been a poster child for screwing up their good thing. By that I mean unfettered gang activity and remittances from hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans who are back in El Salvador.

He is dead meat as soon as he gets home.

And in Uganda? He will be fucking eaten. Those Simbas don’t fuck around.

What happened to going back to the moon?

What understanding of "space travel" does anyone have? No one has ever done it.
I'm not sure what these animated cgi images of Mars are supposed to be either.
The rocket that supposedly can come back and land now........?? I see a launch played in reverse when I watched that video. I call BS
You are abysmally stupid

my daughter said the same thing. she put her opinions aside for the sake of grades.
It is sad to see. I have had students actually thank me for respecting their opinions, which is crazy. I don’t care what their political beliefs are. Make a logical argument about the material we are covering that is backed up by the literature and we are all good. The major I teach in is not influenced much by party politics, so I do have that on my side. Now, the students going through their general education courses are not so lucky.

Watch how you store it!

I started pursuing the FD in 2022 when I got honorably separated from the military(34 y/o at the time). I got all of my fire certifications and fire academy done while I was still active duty. I applied from June 2022 till early 2024. I got so damn fed up with repeated Public Safety testing fees and repeated applications that I folded my cards and called it quits. I couldn't push needles, determine EKGs and ride in the back of the box as a medic. So, that was a potential limiting factor. But, I reached my wits end after so many applications and a few hundred dollars spent on testing fees with no interviews that I had to say "FUCK YOU FIRE DEPARTMENT!" and go my way. It left a real bitter taste.
I'm guessing your a straight white male.
When I separated I applied for postal positions at several hubs. When I put I was a white male, I never got a response. When I put black male, I got a response in about a month. When I put that I was a black female, I got a response in 3 days. That was in the '90's - it has only gotten worse.

Work compensation --how would you handle this?

I was told be be careful what feet you piss on, juuuust in case they are attached to an arse you need to kiss later on.
Seems pretty common for the Millennials to spiral/job hop in and out of roles at similar companies…at least I saw a lot of that in my old second-career industry. I’d get them trained up as a new college hire or internal promo to manager, and a year or two later they’d jump ship to a competitor or a similar role elsewhere, usually with a slight pay bump and/or a moving and signing bonus.

A year or two later we’d see them come back as an external hire (signing bonus + stock) into a higher level position.

Pretty genius actually! 😆

Firearms Terminus Apollo Mag action

I’ve got a like new terminus S/A magnum bolt face Apollo I want to sale. Barrel was installed and has been pulled off and was never fired. Zero rounds on this action. Gunsmith bedded the action and didn’t use enough release agent, It somehow messed the DLC up behind the recoil lug. Might entertain trades but prefer cash FTF. But will accept PayPal f&f or you pay the fees. FFL must accept from an individual. Asking $1150 OBO. Located in NW Alabama.

What’s the cause?

Use the depth part of calipers to measure pin protrusion when fp is in the "fired" state. Too much protrusion, thin primers cups(cci400), and max or near max load can cause this, by themselves or in combination. Those primer disc's can definitely cause drag of fp or fail to ignite from bleeding too much energy from fp drop, via drag on spring/fp inside bolt body.
