I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
We getting another review anytime soon or have we basically ran out of easily obtainable rations?

There’s a few rations left that aren’t insanely rare, but they often run as much as $100 after shipping.

I guess it is kinda a strange hobby to have and a tremendous money sink if you aren't rich. 100 bucks can get you a hell of a lot of actual good food even if dining out and not say tinned meat and kasha with a potato option. Is there subreddit for it?

Everyone was taking amphetamines in the forties, but yes, the Luftwaffe specifically issued a couple different flavors of meth.

They were far from the only ones.

The act of crashing you poo poo little aeroplane into a big American destroyer could definitely be interpreted as a sexual act.

The DoD blocks random poo poo all the time with no oversight or analysis because the military rank structure is stupid. Last year we were directed to block g.tld.* because "an excessive amount of DNS traffic goes there". That lasted a couple hours.

My favorites so far have been seeing DoD agencies block official DoD services (which aren't blocked to the general public) and the time I had to write a formal justification for IT to pass to our parent organization to unblock wikimedia...at a laboratory.

Edit: I forgot. The DoD self-signs security certificates because that's more secure...but tries to keep you from accessing any websites with self-signed security certificates because they're insecure.

No one is denying the chewiness of what they call bread. I'm not going to lie, hella tired, dirty and sweaty, the bbq rib with that elf bread and like 3 jalapeno cheese spreads was pretty loving delicious.
