If anyone’s curious how it works, this chart can help shed some light

While not really correct to use it in the way, (really only used for cousins) you could label your grandmother as your mother, once removed.

It could be…

Most areas in the US have that as a building code violation for the safety issue of it. Usually, there’s a “first” when any regulation regarding inherent safety is created.

It looks like it’s already been attacked.

Militaries tend to think of their manpower as just a number, not as individuals. The basic training is supposed to make sure each will perform at a predictable level. Psychologically breaking one down is thought to be the quickest (albeit roughest) way to get people to that level. (i.e. being able to clear an area of hostiles with minimal to no friendly casualties, while on very little sleep or sustenance)

Some drill instructors (from what I’m told) can have their rank/title go to their heads that they will ignore the logic of danger of the orders they give just for the sole purpose of “teaching a lesson” to their recruit declining something.

I’m guessing their goal was to make sure anyone that goes through would be able to quickly rehydrate (or replenish themselves) while in the heat of a battle without “losing a step.”

There is also an intimidation factor to opposing forces to give the appearance of an indifferent hivemind (sheep as you mentioned it) coming for them. (Think of how scary it would be to have cybermen or the borg after you)

Those will just make you depressed in other ways

Like a cockroach?

The drill sergeants almost became radio show hosts

I’m guessing just for transport of super-expensive/illegal fish during a deal. (like the cliché silver briefcase)

There are also times when honesty can only get you so far. This is especially true when dealing people that don’t believe in validated facts/science. (We still have flat-earthers, don’t we?)

Less votes from his super-conservative followers maybe?

The ones not going for him already have a multitude of other things which make him a no-go.

Should have used putin instead of Biden. (then spread it around)

Isn’t brass antimicrobial though?

That gif is when you are trying to get out a fat log after being constipated for a week.

I thought sloth was every Sunday

Goldfish have a limited edition old bay version. (https://www.mccormick.com/old-bay/products/goldfish/old-bay-goldfish)

I’m guessing ai, as it’s hind legs seem out of proportion, regardless it they were straightened.

I figured as much. Just wanted to give some suggestions if you ever were interested in going down that route again.

Being less than couple hours from Napa Valley, I do definitely get the appeal of a good wine though. I, myself prefer them over beer in most cases too.

The problem is, is the craft beer industry is obsessed with hops and the different varieties. Since IPAs are one of the most hopped beers, they took it and ran with it, all the while going down the rabbit hole of adding more and more hops. (akin to a child learning to cook by adding continually dumping in different spices to try to balance out the others) playing with the mixture of hop varieties. Most of them are also brewed to be drunk close to 0C which lightens its bitterness a bit. Though, fruit-infused and some hazy ones can sometimes have that bitterness work in their favor.

The next time you are in the US and you are still curious, while not to common, look more towards the porter/stout side. The coffee ones tend to be really good along with the more niche bourbon-barrel aged stouts. Fruity wheat beers can be a hit-or-miss with some being hopped more than others, but there is a good portion which are really good; sour ales having the same issue. Craft lagers could be another, but are almost non-existent due to how it’s brewed.

Now, did she say Jesus as an exclamation, or that she was directing her comment to him?
