Correct. Excellent writeup of that whole Telltale Games shitshow.

SEO services, what scum.

That said, if you need a website redesign, I know a company. (/s)

Vet here (🤮). Who gives a shit. I've heard numerous professions have so-called "Veteran Xs". It implies experience, knowledge, and time spent in a role. Not having had your leg blown off by an I.E.D.

Is this jackwagon even a Veteran, or is this just another virtue signaller who feels they need to jump to our defense for brownie points?

I like my Oakleys, but they're regular prescription glasses. Pretty durable and in the (bland) style I prefer.

The article is playing fast and loose as well.

The US Navy has dispatched a guided-missile submarine to the Middle East.

The posting was revealed by the military in an announcement late on Sunday. The unusual revelation regarding the location of the ship, which can launch nuclear missiles

SSGNs are incapable of launching the missiles the article is thinking of. I suppose one could outfit the boat with the nuclear TLAM-D, but i doubt the Navy would bother.

And there's no chance in hell an SSBN, the actual sub with SLBMs on it, is going to surface anywhere and pop open a missile hatch (the missiles are launched submerged).

Article is bunk, a GN showed up somewhere and is ready to put tomahawks through windows, business as usual for one of those boats. Show of force? Yes? Show of nuclear warhead force? No.

Sauce - Submariner.

Also sub fun fact, the 4 SSGNs in the US Navy are the Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. They have a building in Bangor for them, lovingly called the OMFG building.

I left tech a couple years ago. Left as in I couldn't find work, so I drifted through a few dead end jobs before my next career landed in my lap. And you know what? I'm happier doing this than I ever was working at a computer all day.

yf-1234? That's dumb, r-134a rolls off the tongue. Also, my tinfoil hat agrees with you.
