But there shouldn’t be an apostrophe there… it’s = it is, its = posessive.

F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here’s the original image…
It’s possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.
I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14
EDIT: found the original image
We’re looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail…
Yeah I could definitely see this for slo-mo and data recording in an actual laboratory setting that requires it to be as accurate as humanly possible. Idk if this is a standard though I’m not a scientist.
Wow… I’ve worked in the fast food industry for 2 years, and that really hits close to home. With the kitchen display systems and headsets, with modern technology it would be easy to implement that… very easy. We’d still need one manager on the line for de-escalating angry customers but that would end up essentially the same as the book synopsis described. And the subsequent dystopia… I could literally see this occurring tomorrow. Kinda scary.
The “traditional” story (the one that “seems most likely” because we don’t really know) is that some kids were playing with discarded warped glass at a glassmaker’s shop and ended up with a magnifying glass or rudimentary telescope. Enter the simultaneous invention of the telescope in multiple places (very likely it wasn’t any one person in particular), Galileo starts using it for scientific stuff, now they’re making lenses on purpose. Old nearsighted lensemaker looks through it, maybe some charts or a book on the table, all of a sudden they can see well. Attach to frame. Glasses.
In heinzsight, it should’ve been obvious…
Like 70% of the world, idk about them but in my case it’s the American South…
Cats have a natural instinct to avoid stagnant water. Freshly fallen rainwater does it for them sometimes, but a water dish will always be an object of suspicion.
2·5 months agoI’ve been in exactly the same situation but I’m an only child… Sorry you had to go through that too… I hope you’re doing ok.
Not that bad actually. I’ve only ate for 3 days straight while backpacking so I can’t vouch for long-term edibility, but I actually like some of them and the others aren’t bad. Unless it’s cold because your heater packs don’t work and there’s no MRAP available to heat it on…
If someone would give me a crate of MRE’s for free, preferably with heater packs that, by some dark magic, work every time (they usually only with 30% of the time or so) rather than having to heat them on the engine block of an MRAP, I’d gladly eat marinara “meatballs,” pulled beef and barbeque sauce, cheese “crackers,” “lemon”-flavored beverage powder and “coffee” for a year.
The movies get silencers very wrong… It would be a bit louder than the acorn and sound much different (or about the same volume if the vehicle is really well soundproofed). The officer should have known immediately that it wasn’t from inside the car. If it was a downtown area where stray bullets are an actual threat, I might have gotten down and scanned the area for danger, maybe radioed the possible stray bullet and assessed vehicle damage after a couple minutes. And that’s just common sense, I have no real training whatsoever. But literally any kid who’s gone squirrel hunting knows better trigger discipline than that.
Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…
