Why they frick am I hearing reports that Iran has the close the straight again?



Closed with what? Their navy is sunk so what exactly are they closing Hormuz with? You people seriously think they are doing anything but issuing empty decrees? Apparently the panicans and Democrats are too retarded to know better.

The VQ30DE, was on Ward's 10 Best Engines for a long time. Had a 1995 Maxima, the engine was by far the best thing about that car.
You people get hung up over the dumbest shite. My fiancée has a Ph.D. in Pathology and does the same things, anything tied to her current or former academic institutions is supposed to exist in perpetuity. Does a .edu email matter that much? No, nobody really gives two shits. Older military officers are the same way, that .mil account goes away once those retirement orders are valid. Set an inbox rule to forward to a Gmail account, and an out-of-office message that future emails need to start goin to it. Easy.

Down 91% in total, definitely tanked.

I don't think you really understand the cost of enriching uranium to weapons-grade level and what it takes to maintain, let alone ship across long distances. I think if was truly feasible, they would have done so years ago. They also probably wouldn't have been able to keep it secret and Israel would have bombed Tehran into dust.

They were both amazing but were in a different era.



Different era and different mission profiles, but all men cut from the same cloth. Past and present, if you listen to their stories there's always the common theme of men who are willing to endure the worst conditions and take the biggest risks to accomplish the mission, and do it all again the next day.

I think you'll find most current special operators to be in awe of the SOG troopers.


I think they have absolute respect for SOG, they were doing a lot with little to nothing, but I think SOG guys would be the ones in awe if they watched what Delta did in getting Maduro. Remember, Delta was born out of a capability we didn't have but badly needed. Building insurgency isn't counterterrorism, isn't hostage rescue and Delta does door kicking at a level that frankly makes everyone else look like amateurs.

True, but oral health is extremely important to long-term health in other areas like the heart. Pay now or a lot more later.


My fiancée is a dentist, specifically implants & dentures, she tells me some absolute horror stories of what comes through the clinic sometimes. She gets patients that are relatively young, very poor oral health and will need implants/dentures and the patients fully expected that they would need such because their parents went through the same. Fatalistic attitude towards losing their teeth.

That is the problem. Ignorance, thievery, and zero accountability.

LSU tuition is actually cheaper than many other state colleges nationally, and TOPS is the reason. Tuition increases rarely get approved because it’ll immediately be a burden on the state budget. It’s why LSU backdoors so much of their tuition through fees: because they don’t need the legislature to approve it and baseline TOPS doesn’t cover it.


TOPS is (part) of the reason LSU backdoors administrative fees thus raising the total cost of getting an education. You just made his point, dunce.

Now I pay back my salary for the two previous years?


You too dumb to know the difference between meeting the obligations of an academic scholarship and working a job? Any idea how many recoupment actions are taken against those who get ROTC scholarships then decide that 8-year MSO is too inconvenient? Any idea how many private scholarships and academic grants have clauses for repayment in the event of misuse of the money?
quote:

Best of luck collecting.


They certainly will eventually.
quote:

that require repayment?



There are whole classes of Federal scholarships that have recoupment actions for academic failure, non-completion of service-obligations, or anything that violates the scholarship conditions. Same with state-level and plenty of private ones too. If this is news to any of you then you really haven't been paying attention for a very long time...:lol:

Lots of scholarships tied to ongoing academic performance. Lots of things in life are like that, better they learn now.
