I can't get excited about .0001 watts.

A potato battery produces about 10 times more.

Yawwwwwwwn

.5? The article said 100 microwatts so .0001 watts.

So wayyy worse than that.

Damn. Imma gonna sell my garlic bulbs as freedom garlic.

Such an easy to grow plant.

Good dirt, plant biggest cloves from biggest bulbs pointy end up barely below surface. Mulch with dead leaves in late autumn. Cut away flower scapes and eat them on salads. Water well weekly. Harvest when leaves start to brown. Repeat ad infinitum.

Dwindling immense stockpiles != Empty.
Of course the military needs more funding for stockpile replenishment - when don't they?

Good excuse to park a carrier group off the coast and have reasons for asking for more Naval stockpile replacement cash soon

Use your productivity moments to set up the realistic reminders about must do things and automate what can be automated.

Practice triage. "I've let the dishes go for 3 days but if the trash doesn't go out in the next 3 hours then it will be a week therefore trash comes first"

Enlist cheerleaders that get you and be your own cheerleader to celebrate overcoming things that are obstacles to YOU. "I was feeling physically for a few days which put me behind on doing a bunch of important things around the house, and that made me feel s***** mentally. I fell off the rails with diet, sleep and exercise, and was feeling overwhelmed by all the things waiting for me to get done, but I did triage. I managed to get the trash to the road, and after doing one important thing I also did the dishes that were 3 days behind. I didn't really crush it the rest of the day, but I feel good about how the morning went." " Hey, that's really great. It's hard getting going again isn't it? Good for you! Sometimes getting the dishes done is impressive as hell!"

Lie if you like. Don't lie about things you could be asked to do. Like if you say that you were in charge of doing a thing, as interviewer I may well test that.

As interviewer I don't or shouldn't give a shit about your history except to try to predict your future. If lying gets you past HR to get looked by the hiring manager, AND the hiring manager thinks you're a reasonable candidate for the role listed, then that is a win.

Good luck!

Yeah? Ready to be effective day one? Quick explain these 50 acronyms being used stupidly here to try to look like they are smart and in the know. Next you're going to need to fill out a dozen service now tickets with forms written by the criminally insane. You're going to need to talk to one of the BSAs to get access to the right docs folders but you're going to have to know which of the 5 will waste your time and which will be awesome.

You could be an expert in all the stack tech but absolutely fail to be able to contribute because you can't learn those things in school.

You're learning on every job. If you're not, then you are failing.

War crimes are war crimes and those committing them should be held accountable regardless of affiliation, identity etc.

The puppeteer for baby new he wanted to do that as a career when he was like 12. Wish I had my life figured out that early!

What war prepared Ukraine then? Wagner group hasn't exactly been idle so...

Are you predicting Russian victory or improved engagement outcomes with poorly trained conscripts?

The US Congress definitely keeps voting for more military spending and protecting insurance companies and big pharma - no dispute there.

There's quite the surge of pro-Russian folks here believing that Russia has an equivalent military and it's just not remotely true.

Count whatever you want: in flight refueling, airborne radar, aircraft carriers, etc ad nauseum.

I'm not saying anything is good or right or how it should be, but objectively that's how it is and isn't surprising given the level of constant spending.

Agreed. Plus it wouldn't be remotely comparable.

Have you watched any of the readiness analysis? Russia wasn't maintaining their stuff because corruption.

The US generally does, and invest massive amounts into weaponry, more than is realized.

Hyperbole maybe but grounded in facts. I was surprised at how unready Russia evidently was, especially as the aggressor.

Generally a smart crowd. Someone may have ordered this analysis be done, but it is wildly speculative what if and not useful.

I've won a couple arguments with Generals and met brilliant ones, and dumb ones.

"What if we ignored all US war fighting strategy for a scenario where we have mostly a land war again like the good ole days" smh

You equate Mexican military to Russian military?

Really?

You evidently missed my point which is that the situation for the Ukrainian people is unique to them. The whole What If That Was Us is pure speculative fantasy and not useful.

That's simply not how the US goes about it.

It wouldn't be remotely similar. Even if the US decided to limit itself to weapons it had 30 years ago it would still be not that sort of engagement, because it would cost 3600 casualties a day and the US has a wide array of multilayered and coordinated advanced options to use instead.

I thought that was obvious. Ever look at the military spending budgets? US spends more than the next 10 countries combined.

Russia lies about it's readiness and weapons capabilities.

The US lies about it's readiness and weapons capabilities... but in the opposite way.

Exactly. So why waste time deciding on conscripted soldiers for a fantasy Ukrainian scenario?

I don't think it is sensible to talk about having a Ukrainian level war without also having the Ukrainian scenario or context i.e. being invaded by a next door neighbor with a powerful military.

I feel like there are a whole bunch of important tactics lessons to be learned, like dealing with small grenade dropping drones, but the way that the United States conducts war is pretty different.

If the United States somehow found itself needing to repel and invasion, it is pretty obvious that enlistment rates would suddenly be very different.

Context matters.

Yes, but almost never one that wasn't legit poor for at least a year or more sometime earlier in their lives.

I do think they're exceptions though, and I've met plenty of shitheads.
