The Old Hack

At least it isn't a STUPID answer, like midichlorians.

In this particular case I feel it somewhat compensates for the slowdown that the explanation is actually funny.

The only not during design phase math formula that classic traveller has is the in system time of flight formula.  It's no so much math as it is accounting for design phase stuff.
 

Ah, before he became POTUS. I was wondering how I missed this. Yes, it is prescient.

One of the great photo ops of the 21st century.

I would like to thank you on behalf of my wife, whose father went to Vietnam only to suffer from Agent Orange poisoning. He too only served as a convenient scapegoat upon his return home. My wife was born paraplegic due to her father's Agent Orange poisoning, a casualty of war before she was born.
The Republican Party, of course, just pushed through cuts to her medical support using the reasoning that as a family member she is not a 'real' veteran. I am certain that veterans will feel heartened by the support of having their families hung out to dry should they suffer injuries during their service and be unable to support them themselves.

He even attended a military school. He will not be missed, not by my cohorts.
People of my generation blamed the military for their involvement in Vietnam, and treated the troops like dirt when they returned. This is entirely misguided, the military does not get to choose where it is employed. I guy deployed to a war zone who is being shot at is going to shoot back. Blame the damn politicians who created a false narrative and sent them there. Politicians start wars, not the military.

Nike did have a surface to surface mode, so some sort of delivery would be possible, however the warhead would tend to scatter the toppings.
This, of course, was before the widespread use of drones.  While there were unmanned aerial vehicles they tended to be just targets. 

Some of them got five draft deferments and called the people who went to fight 'stupid.'
I cannot understand how Republicans could support this cretin and still claim to be 'supporting the troops.'

One time where I played on an NWN server (which did run on 3.x) one of my fellow players was so mad at how weak his character was that he randomly attacked a seagull.
His character stabilized at -7 hit points.

And we have this:

 
 

“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

To be fair, modern capabilities of precisely targeting single individuals at long distances has removed a great deal of attraction from the act of leading from the front lines. In combination with the doctrine of decapitating enemy armies specifically by targeting their leadership it has rendered heroic charges while holding battle flags aloft positively unhealthy. I do not anticipate Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen leading cavalry formations with drawn saber any time soon.

[To the tune of 'One Night in Bangkok']   Waterdeep, fantasy setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the D&D world
In a show with everything but Vin Diesel   One D&D will make a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One D&D will make the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful picking your party
I can feel Baatezu walking next to me...

That fits de Santis well.

Some people are just plain bad at handling angry birds.

This is wrong on so many levels.
