Did you see how the President of Panama then muttered under his breath "Yeah, 100 years ago"?  :lol:

Probably still younger than all of us, too.

Joined the navy in 2002, so probably born in the 1982-84 range

That would have made him between 18 and 20 when he graduated high school (which he also did in 2002)...

The NASA site was down when I posted that, so I went on memory Mr. Snark.

Much more interesting in that bio was this. Looks like he's the man to have on board if a crew mate gets facehugged by a xenomorph or whateber.

Jet: I see.

He's still alive?  I could've sworn he died long ago.

Anyway, his PTL show in the 80s was some damned good TV :)

Just read that the current King of Thailand was officially resident in Bavaria (living there more than 185 days in a calendar year) when his father died and is thus subject to German inheritance tax. And apparently he still resides in Bavaria part of the year, which I found surprising as I would have expected him to stay in Thailand now that he's king.

So Germany is getting half of Thailand? :unsure:

You know I bought one of those Wise food 28 day boxes? Of course I was punch drunk from lack of sleep when I ordered it at 3 am. :P

But seriously, the supply chain is fragile. One good pandemic and then the shit gets real. Fun stuff I did for the Air Force.  :ph34r:

Better be prepared for everything going to shit. Some weapons and emergency supplies - whatever they may be defined as - will make you one of the winners when the inevitable society wide collapse comes.

I don't think that's very normal.
