Aw shit was that me? I think there's a few of us postal comrades on here.

The first 90 will be rough no matter what you are going into, you will be expected to put up with a lot of shenanigans. Use that time to figure out who the shop steward is and see what they're pulling on you that is not actually by the book so you're ready to grieve and protect yourself once you're not on probation.

I work inside so I don't know what the most current tech is as far as keeping cool in summer but I'm sure your coworkers will have good suggestions.

I can only speak for myself but I'm noticing a bunch of this rhetoric all at once and it's hitting my alarm. Of course it's also relevant. But I think the passive threat that there could be ops going on messes with people too.

Yeah if USians aren't dying to drone strikes on Bradleys no amount of dead Iranians will destabilize the US.

Does Iran only have 1,000 missiles? For some reason I was thinking they had stockpiled way more than that as their primary deterrence.

How do we weigh that given the censorship we know Israel is attempting to impose over footage of damage?

Trump got that Witch of the Wastes condition from Howl's Moving Castle.

Right, to be clear I mean that there is no substance to the supposed offers of diplomacy, even if Iranian leadership has prior to this been holding onto that illusion. The US cannot do diplomacy, they can only issue demands and use force.

Deadline ran out on Trump's supposed negotiations, if Iran isn't constrained by a treaty or some other arrangement there is little to keep them from just going for it, is my guess. Turns out when you give up on diplomacy then diplomatic solutions stop having any power to constrain anyone.

Certainly true, however in my case we don't have a store nearby that does bulk really, we go to a little market and get things in the one size they sell, which is what I bought when I was single. So it's not JUST bulk.

COL is huge, I'm not being particularly thrifty and I feed my family of 3 on 150 or less every week. I could easily feed myself on 60.

This and Western AF have gotten me into so many good artists. Good find!

I mean the war wouldn't end just because you killed the other side's leader, they have other people who can step in, so it's not really about slow walking winning. But both Putin and Zelensky want an end to the war in which they don't personally get blown up. So yes they'll let a lot of other people die instead to let the war play out without risking their own lives.
