Blain is a pain, and that's the truth.

Try kagi. It's paid at $5/mo., but you get 300 searches to try it out.

It's useful for my firmware development, but it's a tool like any other. Pros and cons.

I should have attributed, sorry.

Randall Jarrell, published in 1945.

Bomber ball turret gunners and tail gunners had the shortest life expectancy of any combat occupation in the war, as these were the first targets of incoming fighters. I found one site that said tail gunners' combat life expectancy was four missions.

Ball turrets couldn't reload in flight. The ball was too small for parachutes, and the mechanisms jammed or froze often. Typically they put small, young, single guys in them.

Maybe try a poem.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner

From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,

And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.

Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,

I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.

When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Randall Jarrell, 1945

I'm just happy to see someone remembers the Spin Doctors.

This isn't malloc though. I have to assume the cast is because the user has experience with the output from an LLM being untrustworthy.

I agree that he was pretty hostile but it's Fox News. To be expected.

But she's the sitting Vice President. "Yes, madam Vice President." or at least "Yes, ma'am./madam." is the appropriate way to reference her though.

But think how safe you would be if you did pack a bomb.

The odds of there being one bomb on a plane are tiny enough, but the odds of there being two bombs on a plane are vanishingly small...

And all those potentially explosive water bottles are sitting in a trash can at the security checkpoint.

This indicates that they know full well that their are no explosives among them. It's just theatre.
