Our schools are generally underfunded and hardly anyone with any real power gives two shits.

Same as it ever was.
To send a piece of mail to a ship, you send it to a Fleet Post Office, listed as the city and state.
For example, if the ship is stationed in the pacific fleet (AP- armed forces pacific), you’d send it to:
Jane Q Sailor USS Whatever FPO AP (the unit zip code)
And the mail would be forwarded to the ship anywhere in the world to meet the ship with supplies. I don’t know all the codes, but they’re all similarly formatted.
I like Pat, I’m glad he’s feeling better and is back at it.
Not only that, but iirc they are packaged in liquid form and it solidifies into flat sheets as they are pressed together.
That’s a really interesting paper. I would not have thought about that aspect of war, nor the cost of it all.
I think most Americans do. Or at least it was taught that way in school when I was growing up. Maybe it’s because of the way we speak dates, like “October 23rd” or “May 9th, 2005”.
Regardless, the only true way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD.
Easy come, easy go…
I think any of the books Mary Roach would suit you. They are easy to read, yet are brimming with science explained in a fascinating and unintimidating way.
Her book Stiff is prolly my favorite. It explains what happens to the body starting with death, and covers medical, forensic, and funerary subjects (among others). Fascinating.
I’m not familiar with this. Is it related to the guitfiddle?
Flute player here, this is definitely a harp.

I tried that as well, but it didn’t work, I think the bagels were too thick to have it work properly. It just comes down to bad design, imho.
A lot of those were in the break room at my job.
I’ve only seen one toaster properly implement the bagel function properly, and it was $200. Every other toaster up to $130 that I’ve tried has failed miserably, often toasting the outside more than the inside. They all aim to “warm” the outside and end up toasting it at least a little.
I get that, but it’s executed poorly. If only 20-30% of the time they’re cut properly to do the twist move, it’s still a failure. I’d rather have a bag of disconnected bagel halves or have to cut them myself than the BS currently available in my local market.
I don’t want my English muffins sliced at all, personally, and I agree about freshly sliced bread…
…but…
In the US, pre-sliced bagels are the worst. They’re the fucking worst! In a package of 6 bagels, at least 4 will not be sliced in the middle, so you get one “half” with 75% of the bagel, and the other “half” just disintegrates. Of the ones that are sliced in the middle, they leave a line of uncut area for godknowswhy and trying to tear it apart usually fucks up one of the halves.
One shouldn’t have to pull out a sharp knife to open a pre-sliced bagel!
And don’t even get me started on toasters with a bagel function…
Sweet zombie Jesus!
TL;DR he was too old.
After back surgery, surely insurance would cover a hot tub…
