So What Was It Structured For, Before?

Army ‘Restructuring Itself for War’ … By Cutting 24,000 Amid Recruiting Shortfalls
World Net Daily | February 29, 2024 | J.M. Phelps

Downsizing its force from 494,000 to 470,000 soldiers by fiscal year 2029, the U.S. Army claims it’s preparing its fighting force for future wars. The 24,000-person reduction is being touted as serving to restructure the “largely unmanned ‘hollow’ force structure and build new formations equipped with new capabilities needed for large scale combat operations [as it seeks] a high state of readiness.”

Hollow Wean II?

Ironically, with continued recruiting shortfalls in recent years, the Army is also claiming the restructuring effort will help “build back its end strength.” Over the last two fiscal years, the Army missed its recruiting goals by an eye-opening 26,000 recruits – almost the same number it now claims to be intentionally cutting.

The Army: “That’s just a coincidence!!”

Cutting force size to match decrease in enlistment: just the Army being all it can be.

Intuitive Machines Finally Releases Moon Landing Shots as Mission Nears Conclusion

. . .  its final resting spot not in an upright position, but not entirely on its side either.

“Before the mission, we had an absolute sense of humility, yet relied on our technical excellence and trusted years of experience and this incredible team that we have,” [company CEO Steve] Altemus said. “Following this — I would say — unqualified success of a mission. I’m emboldened.”

. . . unless you’re referring to the Biden administration.

Could Drying the Stratosphere Help Cool the Planet?
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | February 28, 2024

Yes, but only to a small degree.

While human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are by far the most important driver of climate change, . . .

I thought human emissions were responsible for a miniscule percentage (3%) of the gas CO2 — which itself forms a miniscule percentage of all greenhouse gases (4%).

. . . water vapor is actually the most abundant greenhouse gas, . . .

Everybody has known this all along, but it has been deceptively overlooked by the “carbon is evil” consensus, because they know how stupid it sounds to try and ban water.

. . . and is responsible for about half of Earth’s natural greenhouse effect . . .

Oh, more than that, I hear.

. . . — the one that keeps our planet habitable.

Then why do they want to stop it?

Now, as scientists explore ways to address the impacts of climate change by removing excess heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and by reflecting sunshine back into space, . . .

Do you need a permit to do that?

. . . one group of researchers has asked the question: Could removing some water vapor from the atmosphere also help mitigate climate change?

How Dare You?

But I think this gives a new put-down for climate crazies:

“Ahh, go dry the stratosphere.”

Babesleaga Delayed

Sorry for no posting of this week’s Babesleaga results and matches. As you may or may not be aware I am house hunting and yesterday was quite busy. First in searching and then in actually finding one. I’ve been working with my investment partner to see if we can make it into a two family house and running all the numbers to see affordability and what works need to be done so I had no time to work on the Babesleaga. We are now at the point of getting the offer in so I will catch up with the work and put something up an get back on schedule. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
