@omriceren @EVKontorovich The fact that no one at DoD is resigning in protest over this is depressing.

@M_S_Billingslea “The Lord is a man of war, … He took Pharaoh’ chariots and flung them into the sea”. BTW - the biblical word “Merkava” meaning chariot, means tank in modern Hebrew. Prayers for a current day miracle in Ukraine - there are more Russian tanks that need to be flung into the sea.

@mercoglianos So for @mercoglianos @a2NavArc and all my other Nav Arch friends - am I the only one who is concerned about the metacentric height of that vessel fully loaded and that far aground? How stable is she right now and how much damage is being done to her keel?

So - this looks like the aft gun deck of a CG 47 class cruiser. Back in my younger days - this is where we went to smoke cigars, not do yoga. Clearly the @USNavy has changed and the cat probably wouldn’t like the cigar smoke. @cgberube @cdrsalamander @ConsWahoo @DavidLarter

@SaraAAtkins @HenMazzig You may disagree with that position- that is your right- but it is a perfectly mainstream education policy position, already enacted in several states to various levels, it is by no means nefarious.

@cdrsalamander Terrible statistic. Israel data is showing that the Pfizer vaccine is very effective at keeping people who do test positive for delta variant from getting seriously ill. Vaccinated people in Israel who get the delta variant are 4 times less likely to end up in the hospital.
