Formerly @overdesigned in various places. I contain multitudes; an old pilot trying to make more old pilots. Illinois! Very food motivated. Views not those of the DoD or US Gov't. He/him.
chat, is this good
DoD IG confirms the Secretary copied operational details from a SECRET//NOFORN CENTCOM brief into a 19-person Signal chat that included a journalist. This occurred 2–4 hours before U.S. strikes in Yemen.

my new old man idea is getting a silverstone flp01 case, some basic PC guts, maybe a CRT monitor, and installing the eXoDOS/eXoWin3x/eXoWin9x libraries on it to make my kids live my PC childhood

(they will inevitably hate it because it is not 1997)

Way back when I was finishing OCS, they did one (1) lecture on ethics. The hypothetical posed was: You're an AH-1 pilot. You just hit a truck with an HVT in it, he lived but is injured & crawling away. You're sure he's the HVT, a bomb maker who has helped kill members of your unit.

What do you do?

Let me be clear: this is far too much of my precious brain to waste on Lane Kiffin.

but I hope that Ole Miss reporter that Kiffin threatened on camera gets the byline on his departure story somewhere and the editors just let him run wild

it is my eternal frustration that my KeePass database that syncs with my phone app via dropbox can't be modified and saved on my windows 11 laptop for Reasons.

I like to think I'm a reasonably smart computer toucher but I haven't made it work yet.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one.

what if, instead of doing two 12"cast iron pizzas, I did a triple batch of dough and just filled an entire high sided sheet pan?

probably not great that the pope is calling out the technology underpinning a solid 20% of the US stock market an affront to God but what do I know
