Thanks man and great working with you again! Congrats on the new home and enjoy the new assignment!
Thanks for the kind words and congratulations on the new home! I’m glad I was able to help with the negotiations! I’ve definitely seen a lot of success helping folks use their VA benefits in this market by spending some on phone with the agents. A little education and letting them know my experience with VAs has gone a long way. Glad it worked in your case. I definitely always try to help seal the deal for my clients. Let me know if I can do anything to help in the future!
Cheers!
Jon
Jon,
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the housing/mortgage markets moving forward. Caveat: not looking for "legal or financial advice". -

Caveat: This information is 3 & 1/2 years old now so things may have changed.
When I was at JPMEII we had a phenomenal guest speaker (PhD type from a DC area college, wish I could remember her name, is a consultant/SME for lots of military and state things) come and brief us on global energy security and politics, one of the best briefings I've ever sat through. Someone in the audience asked this exact question in regards to renewables like solar and wind.
Believe it or not, her answer was "water". Due to the current limitations in battery technology (inability to store the type of energy you'd need to power a city or something of that size overnight or when the wind isn't blowing) it's just not possible to use batteries at our current level of technology. She said currently the most efficient way to store large amounts of renewable energy was to use excess power during the day or high wind times to pump large amounts of water into higher level pools or tanks, then use the flow of water back lower to drive turbines generating electricity.
This hasn't been implemented anywhere on a large scale that I'm aware of but it's not something I follow closely.

So is intentionally causing a melt down at a nuclear power plant the same as using a tactical nuke?
Or worse.

I can confirm. I was in the back seat of the mishap jet.

"just short of nuclear"...That's an ominous description considering Putin is experiencing worldwide scrutiny and embarrassment. What will he do when pushed into the corner?

The POC on the DOD SB page is Jason.Bertrand@tilray.com.
The Tilray website shows them to be a cannabis company out of Canada.
Not sure how GK links to Tilray. Odd combo.
Edit to add: The FAA registry gives a street address in Seattle w/a suite number that belongs to Stoel Rives law firm. Maybe they share the same suite? Or not?

Jason Bertrand is a Director of Executive Protection at Tilray based in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

MCO mentioned towards the end of the linked post a desire to steer conservations back toward AF-type stuff.
As such, and on the topic of command, last year's O6 command board had ~40% of eligibles opt out from competing for command. Rumor is that the policy of "all in" will return. So for the crowd, which is worse for the AF:
- Selecting your group/wing commanders from a much smaller pool (nearly half as small) that results from letting people opt out from competing
- Or, forcing Colonels to compete and, if selected, take command unless they retire under the policy of "all in"?
I think there can be a middle ground. If I were CSAF, I would want as big a pool of candidates as possible, but knowing that there is an O6 shortage, especially among rated officers, I would institute a policy to allow commander-selects to decline as long as there was a mutually beneficial assignment besides command to keep from bleeding talent.
Thoughts?
Address the reasons why few want to command?

Ordering someone to cease all social media and group communication sounds exceedingly broad and potentially illegal.
I don't think you can order someone not to post college football scores on Facebook from their home.
Anything is possible with the UCMJ...

Your last point is probably one of the most glaringly ignored brief points for this pretend “great powers fight” we think we are ready for.
All of our support enabling functions are being performed by aircraft that started life when people were still crossing the oceans in propeller driven aircraft and ocean liners. We need some new shit airplanes and we need them 9 years ago.

I was waiting for “actually it’s Trump’s fault”…no, this mess is 100% Biden’s mess. Trump had an exist strategy…woke Miley sat on it until Biden finally made a decision in April and now we have one of the largest humanitarian crises in recent history - and because the guy in the office can’t put a sentence together let alone make a strategic decision, it might get much worse.
Indeed. I wonder how bad this disaster will get before people stop blaming Trump. My guess is never.

You missed this gem:
"The point I’ve made through all of those experiences is that anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: white supremacy. So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does not require a white person to perpetuate it."
Honorable mention to the capitalization used for black and asian vs white.

I’ve been listening to them for decades. Although maybe I missed the videos they produced in the past making little kids upset because they are white.

This appears to be cult indoctrination

While not necessarily violent, but didn't we just have tons of Trump supporters protest at the polls with guns, banging on windows? Not exactly peaceful, nor overtly violent.
