  1. Original seats/carpet? If so it's possible the factory build sheet might still be in there.
  2. Not a Navy puke but... As a hiring manager I can tell you this - two MOS' from the Navy I hire on the spot; logistics for log personnel and nukes for engineering - and I pay them both as much as my comp and ben will allow. Navy logistics is the basis for all commercial logistics networks across the globe - the familiarity Navy loggies have right out of the gate, as well as understanding the shenanigans at all ports of entry, gives them a sizable leg up. Navy Nukes (who completed their 6 years) come in with a solid understanding of math/physics fundamentals, work their ass off, and are THANKFUL for their new life. If he does it, his life will suck as BL can testify - but once he's done his time the living is large.
  3. Same - not worth the $ imo.
  4. D'oh - right you are Sir.
  5. Wife and recently got the 82" Samsung OLED/4k. There seriously is no going back.
  6. I fucking love Germans, their culture is very encouraging of respectfully getting in each other's business if there's something to be done right. They do, however, tend to get a little amoral and violent from time to time.
  7. Young men that age should see some of the US Memorial Battle Monuments (graveyards) overseas. It's off the beaten path and are incredible memories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Battle_Monuments_Commission Normandy is obviously the most popular one, but damn they're all beautiful in their own ways.
  8. Find all of the standing water around your house and put a dunk in it every month. This includes the dead end of your gutters.
  9. Redshirts.
  10. So this was earlier, how the hell did Arya get the dagger back from Sansa?

    Dang, that is a really good fit - knock 'em dead Chris!
  12. The Dayne family claims it was a fallen star, they built their castle on the location (Starfall) and forged Dawn from the metal. It glows white (unlike valyrian steel which is dark and shadowy) and is wielded by the Sword of the Morning (which isn't a continuous line, only when a swordsman is deemed worthy enough by the family).
  13. Stupid Westeros.org. I'm now wondering if dragonglass, dragonfire and valyrian steel all fail to kill the NK but only Dawn (wielded by the Sword of the Morning, housed at Starfall) is the only thing that can.
  14. How will this affect my schedule during the football season is all I give two shits about.
  15. Dredging up old point made years ago but really becoming relevant again - looking back at Dany's dreams in the Tower of the Undying from both the book and what the producers had to re-write you can form a lot of opinions: The book: a metric fuck-ton of visions that turn out to be all accurate foretellings planted by the lazy fat fuck GRRM, a repeating writing style of his (see book 1) https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_the_Undying The Show (S2 E10): note Dany never touches the throne in the destroyed hall - she's pulled away by the calls of distress from her children My thought is D&D had to distill down GRRM's content and extract what is key to the series as presented on screen - that Dany gets told what will actually happen.
  16. Napa is an overnight trip (so 2 days accounted for) and Carmel/Big Sur is another overnight trip (another 2 days). Accounting for travel days and SF itself (overnighter) it will might feel a little rushed at the book-ends.
  17. But why? I see nothing but bias and bad judgement in this decision!!!!
  18. Another vote for flying into SF/Bay Area and basing a week pleasantly roaming the coast/local area. Napa & Big Sur included. That shit right there is marriage magic. From this: To this: With a lot of this: "Honey, I love you so much you're getting pooper tonight"
  19. As long as you close the door on Derka and CTJ.
  20. While he is a Targaryen, he is definitely more Stark looks wise - it might make sense part of the story arc is that Dany is more of a 'true' dragon than Jon regardless of primogeniture.
  21. That arc also helped solidify Joffrey's 1) unethical ruthlessness (having babies slaughtered) and 2) complete lack of understanding of how to play political games. It also showed Cersei was loosing her perceived control over him.
  22. Aggy is the puppy mill of diploma factories in the state of Texas.
  23. He was a revelation in IT crowd, then I was let down by Toast of London - but this new one is damn funny at times.
  24. Is that Chykie Brown behind them?
