Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes “lift 3-6 inches and drop”

My only gripe with solo is that I preferred the EU version of his backstop. More in the imperial pilot thing.

But I had already accepted that there would be new canon.

Star Wars was always my favorite sci fi universe for so long…

Now with what Filoni and Disney has done with it, i just dunno any more. I feel lost. I loved Andor and Rogue One though, but apparently they aren’t the most popular?

I always get excited when I see a new CnC tiberian sun trailer has dropped… but I should know better…

Weirdly, I had a save corruption caused by selling a ship I stole. After new Atlantis broke, whenever I would go through a load screen my char customization would randomize. Sometimes I’d be a woman, sometimes a man. It was a wild time.

Did you use the Air Bud method?

Its pretty clear that the automation aspect was a little over sold in some of the trailers. In one trailer, two lines of cattiva are carrying iron bars from what appears to be a forge.

Pals won’t pull out of forges AFAIK. So it feels like they threw 2 stacks of iron behind the forge and recorded it as an automation demonstration.

I think I’ve spent the last 4 days not doing anything except trying to get the pal automation to be a little more controlled…

But you’ve gotten a good story out of it to tell later down the line.

I get specifically pissed at all the AI generated answers.

I also have the little heated traps for them too.

Don’t think ya read the prompt.

A wave of them swept through my old apartment once almost six years ago. I still freak out at the smallest itch or bump.

Those bastards cause serious trauma

Copy/pasting my response from elsewhere here, sorry.

Sorry, I should have said recovery scam, I guess. They come up and ask if you can help them get access to their google account because they got locked out and [insert excuse why they cant get the code]. They ask you to put in your email so a recovery code for their account goes to you and would you please give them the code so they can get into their account. But its actually your account.

I’m actually not 100% sure how this works, but it’s like the Steam access code scam.

Since most people use the same email for everything, they can gain access to services through password resets after they lock you out of your own account.

I love not having to drive. And taking a convenient light rail or bus to meet friends at the bar is great.

My only complaint is my current city has a really bad issue with people camping out on the train cars, trying to do Google authenticator scams. Or I’ve had a few high as heck jerking off in the car.
