I really do need to look into getting one of these systems where I can shut the door with an app. I do it about once a month.

My vague recollection is that they wanted it for refueling bombers, but the escorts didn't have the range to accompany the bombers from Iwo Jima so it was kind of moot and no one noticed until after the fact. I don't have it for some reason, checking JSTOR.

My undergrad was in history and I did my thesis when I was in Iraq in 2009. I had a great Captain that I befriended who had a similar love for history. We got in a pretty good argument that got ugly once because I had a study that posited that Iwo Jima had very little strategic significance and the ...

No worries. I probably came off as douchey. I had to think really hard to find something in the C2 world tif might care about.

It's a history thread. Does this stuff have to be relevant? The officer I knew that did it was a major and that was 5 years ago so it had been a while.

But man, I love butlers. Fresh Prince was the best.

I'm jelly.

It's tough to make it interesting. Here's a tidbit. The F-14 if equipped with a MIDS terminal can be controlled on the ground by Link4C tactical data links. Meaning a person on the ground can change the heading by keying in a 1 to 365 new directional heading. The rub is that the system doesn't slew ...

Alright, fine. Okay. Lets go.

If GoT gets two threads shouldn't Star Wars get one of its own? Seems obvious.

When the discussion gets around to Command and Control Systems someone come get me.

Nope. I've dismissed it based on the title. The only SH movies I watch are Batman.

Left my garage open all day today. First time in the new neighborhood. Nothing looks out of place, so that's nice.

Yeah, I plan to leave my report frozen and just pull my report from the site mentioned above. Looking for less overhead (in time) right now, not more.

Source of the post I've raced online against guys like Will Power and Sage Karam (he drives just as over his head there as in real life), like I'm sure dodint has.

I never got good with the Dallara. I've raced with the likes of Bryan Heitkotter and Patrick Long in sports cars though.

My wife is living through that now. 'Allergic' to cats but the idea of paying rent for her own place somehow cured it.

I thought the monitoring would be redundant with the freezing. You?

Yet they called it the other way minutes later. On the wrong guy. Brilliant. Glad it didn't end that way.

There really is nothing in sports better than this.

These are the kinds of games that get me to try to convert my basketball loving friend to hockey. It never works but I try.

Who/what is WB Mason?

Did you mean: W.B. Mason

Good thing he's allergic to cats. If it were dogs you'd have to put it up for adoption.

The end of the Montreal game was a good show. Them boys are angry.

I haven't seen this discussed here and I'm willing to bet there is some interest. I've always been a little fascinated about the somewhat cryptic way the 3 Bureaus calculate a credit score and what people do to try and exploit it. That said, I just cancelled my credit monitoring service and applied ...

I just guaranteed a long Pens playoff run, I ordered 1/2 tix for May 26 vs Miami.

Btw if yinz are looking for 1/2 outfield box seats, go to pirates.com/clipper.

I'm thinking about going on May 27th. Early afternoon midweek game against the Marlins. I might be the only one there.
