I love travel, food, good story-telling, and empathy. I also have a huge man-crush on the rule of law. I run a company that does business phone, video conferencing, and contact centers especially for local governments. www.vertical.com

I have been using HereWeGo for maps. It is not the best, but it's not Google.

Never been in a Keincar. I don't like being in small cars. My friend has a Corvette that triggers a claustrophobic reaction. My Lexes does very well for me though

Yeah, I didn't even test my belly against the steering wheel. I was strictly a passenger. Ironically, the guy who owned it was taller than me. I bought a convertible Incould fit in, thanks.

I am immune anyway. I have sat in a 911. I'm 6'1" and I don't fit.

Weird on the error. Good on the reading comprehension. Clearly I failed.

Adjust publishing?

Well, US diesel usage is 3.83 million barrels a month so this is a little more than half of a month.

Make sure to check out Taskmaster New Zealand. Wonderful Kiwi insanity. We love Jeremy Wells.

I agree, the Met is amazing, even if so much of it is stolen (I'm looking at you, Benin Bronze room). I would also suggest the Cooper Hewitt.

When I was a Cadet. I did have a Drill tell me I could never teach anyone D&C until I had memorized 22-5. I actually did take it to heart that you better know your material. I did NOT memorize 22-5.

If only the Triremes had torpedos!

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
So a perfect shot be every one of 37 guns kills 37 Triremes. Then the other 63 are through the danger zone.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Good question, don't have the data. But my guess would be a couple of minutes without destroying the crew. Tests have shown that a Trireme should be able to get up to 16 knots though the Olympia has not. That means one minute in the 500 meter range of a likely hit.
110
Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Triremes can burst up to 9 knots (see the Olympia) so no. Especially not if there are 100 of them.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Yep, and that might take care of a couple of thousand before they figure out a solution. The odds here are a hundred to one. Or 600 to 20,000. They might just win by tearing out the waterline hull with rams.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Okay, let's say you are right. That's the fifty approaching on the side where the guns are manned. But what about the fifty approaching from the other side where the guns aren't manned? What about approaches from the bow and the stern? What happens when 608 men have to face 10,000 on deck?

When sre you supposd to come back? We can't know if you didn't come back without that key info.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Then the Triremes win. They attack from all sides, ram, and board. The numbers will overwhelm. No way in the calm conditions of the Med for the Galleon to escape.

Are we meeting in the Med or the North Atlantic? Because that will make a huge difference.

Let's talk about the people who do this at my dialysis clinic all the time. Luckily, I have good headphones.

Don't remember that was a long time ago. It turned out to be okay. The important part was that it stayed inside the range fans.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Yeah, at Fort Knox the deer moved en masse on to the ranges when deer season started. Range control let e eryone know there would be consequences if anyone shot a deer (they did not want to have to clean it up.)

Yeah, had a tank do that once. Wasted hours while the Master Gunner figured out where the round went.

If they take away our potatoes, at least the entire mid-west will rise up.

They didn't want to say they were stopping a nuke when they had just claimed the "best, greatest bombing raid evah" had stopped Iran from building a nuke for generations.
