Check out his Wikipedia page. His life was almost as interesting as the one he tried to convince everybody that he lived.

Well if Garick is gonna be Dr. Alabama now, we're gonna have to find a different home for Rapini.

Woah! Just because I have to live there does not mean that I have any desire to claim the misbegotten place.

If Oregon is still free, I'll go with that. I'll need to up my flannel game, though.

Saw that exchange. It felt hyperbolic.

Was MW out of line for what/how/when she said what she said? Sure. But a congresswoman exercising her first amendment right isn't going to pass any test to set aside or overturn a solid conviction.

garick, when you were a young man in a uniform did you ever think you'd go so far as to become a doctor and rewarded with getting stationed in alabama?

I also got Cali on that quiz, so maybe flawed?

Slim is probably Maryland because they have the highest median income

Also, specific charges are defined by local jurisdictions. So, murder 3 in CA, NY & MI can all have different requirements.

I still feel the appropriate conviction is for manslaughter.
Received more of a fair trial than George Floyd did

LOL. I thought I was going to do four years and get out. Then they offered me a bonus to sign up for six years instead and I decided if I did that I could finish my Bachelor's degree while I was in and save up some money, so I said sure. As I neared the end of that six years, they offered me a much larger bonus and a gig teaching Arabic in Monterey, CA if I re-enlisted, so I did.

Once I actually finished the Bachelor's, I was already at 9 years, so I figured I was going for 20, and should apply to officer training. I was planning on the command track, but while I was a First Lieutenant, I had a new Second Lt come work for me, and he mentioned taking Arabic at the Academy, which I didn't know they offered. When I asked if they needed teachers, he emailed his old Prof to find out. Next thing I know, the Academy is paying for me to go get a Master's, because that's required to teach at the University level.

At that point I started imagining being a PhD some day. I ended up back on the command track, but got command in a school unit, so kept my feet in both worlds.

For realz tho...wife and I have been talking about landing spots when we retire or at least back away from the business somewhat. Gonna be at LEAST 7 years to get Little Slim through college but just don't know. Somewhat depends on where those 2 end up but I could see us doing a good bit of time in NZ (wife's father was a Kiwi and she could get dual status) and then the remainder of the year somewhere here.

Every state I think of that would be nice has some major issue that makes it unappealing (weather, taxes, too crowded, etc). Dunno

Let's get back to the great "what state are you" debate.

Same boat. Except I have to add "too racist" to the list of considerations.

when pokerstars made me switch my public location from usa to china i was absolutely shocked how overnight the insults went from "americans are so stupid lol" to extremely racist things and 50x more common

amazing part was with the us it was all politics and "stupid american" and then when china no politics, no human rights, nothing, just pure anger and hatred towards asians

there was absolutely no chance I could get through a session without being insulted a few times - best part was i'd correct their spelling and grammar mistakes - nothing is more tilting for a native english speaker than to have someone who in their mind barely speaks english correct their mistakes

Canada>>>>>>England>>Australia is the power rankings of english speaking racism, can't comment on US cause this was post black friday, not enough sample from the other english speaking locales to weigh in on it, canada was the runaway winner though by a large margin

Speaking and grammar are two completely different subjects.

Ability to speak and ability to write have less and less correlation, more so in this generation than ever before.
