    Nothing says "my opinions really matter" more than having a windowless, soulless "office" whose door does not have a lock in a dank basement. If you are in charge of a department or have people report to you, you want an office which represents your standing in an organization. Petty, I know but so is office politics and image.

    Oh he'll get moved.  His current situation sounds much worse that what I've got, buuuuut facilities guys can fix up a surprising amount of things for office spaces if he were inclined to make the inevitable fatasses trudge up and down the stairs when he tells them to.

    One of our associate professors actually managed to get some sleep study spaces converted for his office use (so he's got a separate shower and bathroom in there, among other pretty cool things), and the other guy the state with the same job title as me got them to build one for him out of a damn hallway.  Instead of this wide dead-end hallway with lab access on either side, it became a sort of waiting room and an office (no more lab access that way, of course).  It's actually kind of impressive what they can do.  

  2. Those last three  four plays by BC felt...familiar.  Drop, bizarro fumble (we'd have lost it though) + holding call, worthless 3rd down play, shitty punt.

     

    E:  Forgot the punt.

    All kidding aside the proper response here is to take all of our NFL gear out to the backyard and shoot holes in it. Remember to film it for YouYube so we can show Troy, Joe and Roger just how angry and offended they've made us!

    These days with the cost of ammo and NFL gear, you'd have to take a second mortgage out on your house to do that.

    And then when you calmed back down, you have to go to all the trouble of getting the new jerseys tailored. Just not worth it.

    Not all training hrs are equal in cost and distance and the cost/benefit can be outrageous. If a General or distinguished Col. wanted a flyover at their kids HS graduation, you could do it but would have to know a lot of people and shoehorn it into a training budget that would take hrs away from other pilots. For the sporting events, the military wants to use them as propaganda events expending more money on them. Some feel that’s wasteful and Nationalistic.

    I apparently went to the wrong high school.  E:  Has that specific thing actually been done?  If so, what did they have do the flyover?  Please say B-52s.

    let me guarantee you with 100% confidence they can come up with more useful mission profiles than racetracks over kansas or joyrides to tampa.

    but at a minimum, if some guy needs 20 hours to keep his type rating, they will do the racetracks over kansas before the joyride to tampa because if they have to return to base for a mechanical reason, amazingly, they are only 20 minutes away.  2 hours away and then setting down at macdill and then teleporting in a C-5 and 200 personnel to get the fucker airborn again.... yeah, that's not a cunning plan, baldrick.

    So not cheaper then?  You're building in the potential costs of maintenance now, which would happen if has to set down in Kansas, too.  And then of course the C-5 breaks, so everything is all fucked everywhere.

     

    Man what the fuck is up with multiquoting

    A lot. 
     

    you might want to look at “efficiency per hr” in training instead of hold an outdated cold-war view that’s tantamount to a Dillard’s employee view of plastic shopping bags

    So less efficient to fly somewhere you may be taking it anyway and doing a flyover on the way vs laps in Kansas (Kansas is just the example provided)?  I would suspect this depends on what you're doing with it to begin with.
