Tough to tell for sure from your picture, but it might be a mayfly. One of these fellas.

And also to misuse a document marked "for official use only", for an exam taken four years ago, on a functionally meaningless aptitude test. It serves a purpose for the military and that's it. And only during intake. You probably wouldn't get in trouble for sharing this doc out in the grand scheme of things, but the US military is collectively a petty bitch and they can find ways to make life difficult.

I'm not sure why you choose to be so defensive about an Internet argument, OP, but learning to let go can lead you down a much more peaceful psychological road. The stakes were and are nil. The outcome of the argument changes nothing. Take a deep breath, calm down, and move on.

See, I'm cool with millipedes - mainly because they fall in the camp of "not venomous". And if they actually are venomous, I don't want that information haha.

The basement centipedes creep me out but I'm not necessarily afraid of them.

Giant centipedes actually present a roughly equivalent danger as a venomous snake. It can be treated with antivenom (I think anyway), but left untreated can actually be fatal.

Spiders fall in a camp of genuine phobia for me. It's a pure lizard-brain fear reaction when it comes to them and it's really hard to overcome.

Insects are ok. Mostly. I have a thing about the combination of "too many legs" and "venomous". Centipedes are a no-go for me, genuine visceral terror. Same with spiders - except jumping spiders, they're bros.

You could also get yourself a pack of bungee cords. Bungee the bag the same way you'd use one of those bands.

It's the kludgy option, but you'll probably get a bunch of spare bungee cords out of it and those are always useful.

Worth noting is that the feeling of being or doing something "wrong" without much evidence to support it suggests a little bit of imposter syndrome. It's a very, very, very common feeling and is almost expected in any sort of a technical field. I have dealt with it personally and it sucks. The thing that helps me is the knowledge that if I was doing something that wasn't up to the standard or wrong, someone would intervene. Even if it was to just sit me down and tell me "Hey, this sucks and you need to do better".

I cannot imagine the shit fit that people would throw if we tried to implement a secure national identity number. Even the SSN got a lot of backlash for being "the mark of the beast", and that was introduced a little under a hundred years ago.

I'm willing to bet they're probably still here. I know that life has been kinda busy lately and I've been dealing with some difficulties so I haven't really had a lot to post.

That looks like either a mobile AA setup, or they're training to use it for indirect fire. The thing I note is how high she's aiming and that's what makes the most sense to me.

Indirect fire is the less likely of the two options, since 1918 is pretty late in the war (they'd gotten the hang of proper artillery by that point instead of MGs for indirect fire). This actually looks like a pretty mobile little AA station.

Sounds like a law office. That's the only place I've ever heard of six minute chunks.

Haha! I had a Mini T as my first one. It was a fun little car!

Check out the Tarmo project. I've been wanting to put one together for a while.
