You can tell a lot about that site, since Texas and New Hampshire are empty.

This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they're gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it's particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what's up.

I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says "Can we at least downgrade our gear?" You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said "Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?"

I shouted down "I can cover you but that won't stop any rounds that come your way," and the SOG just said "What? No, fuck, are you kidding?"

Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.

I have shorts, made by a company Pistol Lake that's unfortunately no longer in business, that has a phone pocket inside the pocket with a snap closure.

Now, one, it perfectly fits my G100 and, two, the rest of the pocket is gigantic. Like, full size Nintendo Switch in there with wiggle room but my phone doesn't move.

So, this may be silly but, see a tailor about adding a pocket if your clothes are baggy enough for it.

Plus, he had "concept of a plan" in his front pocket. He had that think ready. If nothing else, his debate prep got that in his head.

From my experiences it goes more like this "In an ideal world, we'd behave this way. We're not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it's the best course." with a knowing wink thrown in.

They come wired and wireless.

Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented...

How old are you?

Military can't really customize their equipment anyway. No bumper stickers on an MRAP.

Relevant Apocalypse Now quote "They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene."

I mean, I never paid for it but I did the math many years ago, to explain predatory microtransactions, and found out that for a chance - a perfect rolled no dupes chance - it'd be cheaper to buy a 2DS and a physical copy of new leaf.

Like, there's only so many times they can release a set or do a palette swap for a 'new' collection.

True WirelesS... Just two buds with no connectors like AirPods and competitors.

Yeah, but you'd need to think in your campaign room "What if someone asks why we're certifying fake electors?" which, admittedly, in a sane world seems like an insane thing to worry about.

We're not in a sane world but "Well, we don't have a comment at this time but we're looking into the matter." could be construed as "didn't immediately respond to our question."

Santos' drag name, allegedly.
