I’m not bashing on NZ vets specifically, for the US I’d say from Bald Eagles to Turkeys.

How the hell can goons forget this majestic birb? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1vfsHYiKY They're flightless, not parasitic, and their mating call is a loud BOOM sound. They're also very round. edit: they turn into full on borbs when they boom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IEk57nYb8o A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jan 9, 2024 |

I've had USAA for home (or renters) and auto insurance for years. I've been fortunate enough to only have two claims: a roof replacement after some awesome cannonball hail from a tornadic storm in Oklahoma, and a new windshield in a state where insurance covers that. No hiccups either time.

Went to Hobbiton with my wife yesterday. If you have even a remote interest in the Lord of the Rings, goooooooo. Also New Zealand is a beautiful country and I'm jealous of those of you who live here. My wife is strongly considering going for broke and trying for a work visa since she's in a pretty in demand field.

Lol probably going to get a talking to from my supervisor as I did not go to an AF Wing award ceremony. I told her after I went to my first one last quarter that I would just stay in the office until the end of my day instead. I figured as a civilian I wouldn't have to deal with this but guess not

As a non DOD fed civilian, I've often wondered what it's like working with or for military people who think their stupid ceremonies matter to everyone. Also, what it's like telling some O6 "not my problem" when shutting off the computer at 459 pm.

I'm increasingly convinced that January isn't worth celebrating anymore. Nothing good ever happens in this cursed month. This January, my wife and I battled horrible post-viral infections courtesy of one of our friends' drat weiner kids, one of our dogs almost died (and was saved by a $10,000 emergency surgery, of which insurance thankfully picked up $7300), and I'm dealing with a profoundly awful professional situation with horrible management, a poo poo-rear end commute and being deliberately underpaid, undervalued and disrespected by aforementioned horrible management. I think January only exists to frame the rest of the year in a more positive light because otherwise gently caress this poo poo.

We've launched a probe that slingshotted around Venus multiple times to get a closer look at the sun while orbiting inside its loving Corona and I only learn about this now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOZhPz92Dic Was this completely ignored by major news outlets or was I just living under a rock? Goddamn, the details on the mechanics of the thing and the planning are absolutely, positively stupid.

NASA isn't that exciting so gets ignored a lot yeah. Which is a shame because there is a lot of incredibly exciting stuff going on.

If you're a Podcaster look up Astronomy Cast. It's a little dry but discusses in detail a lot of the very cool stuff being done.

[Hoping this is the chat thread] I got this email:quote:Are you interested in owning dirtyveteran.com? It does not come with a website, just the name is on sale. If so, please let us know and we will send you more details. I don't know why they think I would want dirtyveteran.com, and I was about to let opportunity pass me by, but I realized that someone here might want to own an internet landmark such as this. Let me know and I would be happy to broker a meeting.

Plan is for next weekend to avoid opening weekend rush. Was the first movie I saw in person after COVID and was totally worth it, not going to miss part 2 in theaters.

Nick Soapdish posted:Driving two hours to see it in IMAX this afternoon Time well spent IMHO. There are a number of moments when I was blown away by the visuals, so I can only imagine what that's like on a truly huge IMAX screen. The fight choreography, costume/set design and visual effects are truly awesome.
