    AI promises are much more realistic than Mars. Mars is the ultimate scam. Sure, we can send a few people to the surface inside milliondollar radiation suits but that's the extent of what we'll be able to do. Any permanent mars settlement will not be with organic humans.

    Lets send Elon.

    Sorry to disappoint but this has only cost us about $8k so far.  Make sure you've sent your notifications to angie@slingshotlaw.com.  If you forgot to follow the instructions when you donated, just forward her your receipt. We're keeping a log.  We want to spend the full $12k on our end and raise the full $18k!

    (18 is the number that represents life in Hebrew.) 

    Angie confirmed she has mine. She writes hot. :)

    Watched the press conference with Trump and Rutte. One takeaway that probably won't be reported much is that Milania seems to be pro-Ukraine. Trump had an offhanded comment about telling Milania that he had a nice phone call with Putin that day and Milania responding "Well, he just destroyed an apartment in Kiev." Interesting tidbit. 

    No Slovene, Bosnian, Croatian likes Russia. Serbs, yeah, well fuck them.

    Quality of female students walking though the south mall on a Spring day.

    It is why I went to UT. Oh, and the fucking kickass LatAm department. I was top 1% from a NOVA public school. Had offers from a few places, but met Dr. Burnett and said nope, I am going to Texas. 

    But the decision at the end of the day was how bad ass the Arcade on the drag was, good coffee, and a great day in March checking out the Coeds studying on the West Mall.

    If I were Ukraine, I would have an open offer to any former F-16 pilot. We will pay you $1,000,000 per mission to fight on our behalf. If you get killed, we will make sure your family receives the money, if you are killed. I mean, at least your family is guaranteed a million dollars. Brave men have died for a lot less.

    CHIEF

    The pilots are not the issue. It is the E-5 who maintains. 

    Ukraine's AF is USSR focused. We don't use the same tools.

    We have almost a thousand F-16s sitting in the high desert, as an example, and it's very dry.  They will never be used again, except for occasional parts or to replace the occasional Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve F-16s that are lost or retired for one reason or another.  They are in far better shape than aircraft going through the shitshow of Russian aircraft storage where they go well below freezing in winter and bake in the summer, and are stripped for blackmarket parts. Most still have plenty of life in them, they were simply replaced by newer aircraft or retired as the military shrank.

    We also have 3,600 Abrams tanks that are sitting in storage, many of which were retired, again, due to a shrinking or changing military, or newer models.

     We purchased over 160,000 Humvees, and I'm sure there's a few tens of thousands in storage (although they may not be in the best of shape, *ahem* a lot of us treated them like shit). We probably have a few thousand Bradleys in storage, probably some Strykers in storage.  A whole lot of M113s (although those are very old).  

    Probably have a few hundred Black Hawks in storage as well.

    We actually take care of our stuff, unlike the Russians.

    We have a fleet sitting at sea. The APS program. All goes through PM. Name it, it is on those boats. Then add in BEAR CAT and other shit. We can field 200K tomorrow. Rations to tanks to GenSets. If President Trump gives the order we are ready. As a Nation.
