  1. Even if they have good benefits, Medicaid (which you get as part of SSI) is the only benefit that'll fund Long Term Support, private health insurance (which government employees get) doesn't. I thinkkkkkkkkkk I'd get away with it in my situation (since I work already), but it be a gamble. #Jwheel4America #Let'sTryACrippleAgain
  2. Technically they stole it from NATO. What Does 'No First Use' Mean? A Nuclear Glossary - The Atlantic WWW.THEATLANTIC.COM Here we are again, trying to make our way around nuclear terms and concepts as war rages in the middle of Europe.
  3. If the Russian Army were to completely collapse and Ukrainians push into Russia (or possibly Crimea), then he'd definitely use a tactical nuke as a warning shot. Beyond that, I don't see it happening.
  4. ELI5, so basically if Musk buys over 15% the Board will issue new stock dropping him to below 15% and tank the stock's value?
  5. Everything has scaled up and the terms are losing meaning, kind of. China calls their new Cruiser a Destroyer, meanwhile Australia's new Frigate is bigger than their relatively new Destroyer. The US's new Frigate is huge with almost the same capability, just a third the missiles, as a Flight IIA Burke Destroyer, and the US's new Destroyer, being designed now, will be massive, bigger than the current Destroyers and Cruisers. Basically the Navy looks at it as small surface combatants (FFG and the functional LCS) and large surface combatants (DDG and CG). The beefy Frigate is because there is no way the US can replace the current Destroyers and Cruisers in the same numbers and the new Destroyer will take forever to design. Meanwhile, #BurkesForever
  6. TIL he had myotonic dystrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy.
  7. I had 2 Education Major friends in college, one has since left teaching and the other quit during her internship. The internship was full time, no pay (opposite, they paid tuition for the privilege to intern), and assigned to horror show poverty school districts. One friend was assigned to a kindergarten classroom where the teacher was about to go on maternity, they assigned a sub with no training so my friend had to take over. After graduation she was offered a $25k teaching salary.
  8. No! They sold their last carrier to China for hookers blow and brief cases full of cash. How China's navy went rogue to get its first aircraft carrier WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM It took some enormous bribes and liquor, plus years of delays, for China to get its hands on what would become the aircraft carrier Liaoning.
  9. The U.S. Navy Is Having a Hell of a Time Dismantling the USS Enterprise WWW.POPULARMECHANICS.COM Nobody has ever disposed of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier before. Turns out it's not easy.
  10. At least the strip is still part of Clark County with a County Government and I guess County Commissioners. I live in an unincorporated area with all the same services as the towns (most North Carolina local services are county departments anyway, incorporated NC cities and towns don't do much). With Disney, they are the county.
  11. Disney is on a plot of land that's its own county like District, where the only "legal residents" are a few high level Disney executives "own" a few undeveloped acres. They elect a Board that runs the District in every respect, including 911 and Fire Department, they could have their own cops but opted to contract with the neighboring Sheriff Departments. (Wikipedia has taken me weird places lately)
