    Nerd up! Geometry time suckage within

    Stuck on level 20. I even broke down and looked at some of the posted answers after I was convinced I had gotten it right and it was just a bug. I couldn't really figure out why mine didn't register, as the intersections showed one point on each circle, unless there was some overlap I couldn't...

    The only real Marine is a Submarine. The true Corps is the Reactor Core. Now it's time for me to duck! I rode a few training cruises - about 10 days in total. I am amazed you guys can do it for as long as you do on deployment. Thanks for being out there in the deep blue. I only spent my...

    About 70 minutes in, on level 20. Dang this is addicting. 2:15AM - I should not have clicked on this...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Not a math trick - a reading comprehension trick. 27 - 2 = 25. You aren't trying to get to $30, because the cost of the room is $25. If you want to get to $30, it is cost of room ($25) + bellhop ($2) + refund ($3). This one is kind of funny to use on people, but the question makes absolutely...

    Down goes Mosul.

    If someone wants to buy me a Mission RS superbike, I'll gladly take to the track for some testing and let you know my layman real-world experience to settle this gas v. electric once and for all.

    High Protein Diet and Ammonia Sweats

    You will probably know ketosis from the taste in your mouth (sort of metallic, if that makes any sense) before anything else. Happens to me occasionally when I haven't dosed much insulin or my pump site is fouled and I'm not processing carbs correctly. If you get to fruity smelling breath...

    My Political Post, (after which I will ban myself)

    Yeah, too much shooting, not enough politicizing. Work on it. Thanks for the link, good points made and nice giveaway they are doing. It's win win when groups are able to afford things like this. Gets the word out to more people, get's these rifles into more hands to go shoot at the range...

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    There's an important idea floating around here, and that is: to many people you and the guys in the cemetery are the same - you represent them. Wearing the uniform they did, serving in some capacity in the same military they did - to those around you, you are the representatives of those dead...

    It's TT time again!

    I've been watching the highlight reels at least since I got into riding about 3 years ago, now. I just finished up two days down at the track at NCBike in North Carolina (great track by the way). I still run intermediate group - just a step up from beginner, but definitely very far from being...

    RANT ON! Motorcycle Superstore SUCKS!

    Hmmm, can't say I've had the bad like with moto superstore, but then I've only ever bought simple stuff like windscreens (which I have broken all too many of). Thanks for the heads up in case I start looking around for things like suspension upgrades and the next set of kit for the race bike.

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    My ideas align a lot with two very illustrative Heinlein quotations. “A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.” ― Robert A. Heinlein...

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    Whether they mean it or not makes no difference to me. I reply with, "It's an honor," because it is, and usually, "Thank you for yours." The guy could be a CEO, a janitor, a doughnut maker, a beautician, a banker, or whatever else. I'm thankful for everyone who is working and contributing...

    Navy spec ops PTs

    Quick point, be careful on the swimming and overuse injuries. You have to have good form. Most people say swimming is low impact, but if you have improper form you can easily mess up knees doing breaststroke or shoulders doing crawl (conventional freestyle). I normally breathe every 2 or 3...

    HSM ammo any good?

    I used HSM years ago. Did not look like that. Shot well but a bit high pressure in my 5r. As previously recommended, send that pic to their customer service. That is or at least was quite out of the ordinary.

    Maggie’s Any KLR650 Guru's?

    When KTM was mentioned, I immediately jumped to "yeah, Superduke would be ok doing a bit of gravel..." Most any adventure bike would probably suit you. What else do you want out of it? Taken a look at the Triumph Tiger? I haven't ridden it, but that one is on my list of "soon...hopefully"...

    Cat saves boy from dog

    That dog has to be put down. You won't train that behavior out of it. It has it in its mind to attack without provocation. That looked like purely opportunistic aggression - nothing other than the fact that a target was available triggered it to attack. It is a hazard. Were it my dog, right...

    Army tattoo policy

    If you want the quick thread synopsis: 1. There is a regulation. You may read it if you like. Life will be easier if you follow the reg. 2. If you get a tattoo(s), some people will stereotype and look down on it until YOU prove them otherwise. YOU can always be the exception to the...

    Bucket List? Yep. Makes Me Smile.

    If I get enough experience in this sport before I hang it up, I might try a wingsuit. So much to learn in the meantime. Not sure I'll ever get there, but there's plenty of flying to be done in normal relative work.

    Bucket List? Yep. Makes Me Smile.

    Noooooope. I like my redundancy. I'm under a good canopy well higher than most BASE guys are jumping, and I've got time to use the backup. Risk balance doesn't add up for me. Glad there are people who do it and love it, though.

    Maggie’s Your Other Hobbies?

    Only if it's not what you want to be doing, and even then, if it's something you've gotta do, then it's something to be proud of that you're doing it. Hobbies come and go, and most of us will never get as good as we'd like to at them. They're a way to develop ourselves and expand our interests...
