Well at least it’s not Garfield

The maggots do the hard work cleaning the wound. Cleaning up the maggots and poo is easy by comparison. But yeah you don’t want to leave them there forever, just enough to remove the dead stuff.

Maggots on wounds is a thing too. They only eat dead tissue

All the time now! When I bought my flashlight (Sofirn SC-21) I learned that it fits perfect so that’s where it goes now

Right and when was the last time that process was actually followed?

That movie with the snakes on a plane?

With gps it’s easy to let navigation skills slip but it’s so important. I try to teach my relatives when opportunities come up.

I always try to look at a map before I go somewhere unfamiliar. Digital, paper doesn’t matter and you don’t really have to memorize anything in particular. Just know what way is north and the general lay of the land to build “shelves in your brain” as someone put it. Then when you see a landmark you’ve either seen it before on the map or know what “shelf” to put it on if that makes sense

“Leadership is simple. Take care of your people and make a decision.”

This is from a USAF Major who was once one of the first dudes in Afghanistan after 9/11, working with green berets when he was enlisted. He said that it’s amazing how easy it can be to lose sight of those two basic things.

Weight. Chutes are heavy and means more fuel use and less range with less people. Which means more flights, which means more planes, crew, maintenance, parts, landing fees etc.

It would be easier to strap a large parachute to the plane which has been done on small aircraft

That’s where I last saw it, my very old neighbor had an equally old farmhouse. The road had natual gas put in decades before but she still had a small pile of the unused coal she used to rely on

rip mary you were the sweetest

As a wise friend once said about home repairs “It’s easier to keep up than to catch up”

You can do a lot at once, you can do a little all the time but either way you have to clean regularly to stay on top of it.

Scenario based creative problem solving involving abstract ideas and imaginative visualization?

I agree the convenience is a huge game changer. I can vibe with a good audiobook while driving but I mostly just go with a podcast

Just like low tier beer, the colder the better!

“Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?” - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.

A guarantee of deploying to europe would be great for military retention! Everyone is tired of fighting forever wars in the desert

Wrist watches used to be women’s wear. Pocket watches were for men until WW1 when they found out that wrist mounted timepieces are super handy when you need to carry a rifle all the time and launch attacks synchronized with walking artillery barrages.

Just like anything else it can be purely for looks or purely for function but the best stuff does both at once. A nice looking precise watch, a pen that looks and writes great, dress shoes comfortable enough to wear all day, an Italian suit with a tactical liner lol

I prefer to keep scores off so I like comments, even the ones that disagree with me

UXOs are no joke. Imagine how long that was just sitting there before it was discovered!

I love me some cozy socks
