Unfortunately for me, almost all the men around who were Scoutmasters and other leaders were USMC vets of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Some were still in. They treated it as a "Boot Camp Lite." Really big on strict discipline, not so much on leadership and teaching. I guess more of a Hollywood parody of Boot Camp because Boot Camp does a lot of teaching along with the strict discipline.

Can either of them run that fast? Or that long?

And they have a nice close up of his hand as he fires. He has the second joint of his finger on the trigger, and he pulled the trigger so hard that the gun would have jerked to the right so much he would have hit Tony.
On the other hand, if it works for him, it works for him. About 20 years ago one of the top shooters in some of the Run-n-Gun sports had technically horrible technique, but was consistently in the top two.
I watched a LOLITS (Little Old Lady In Tennis Shoes) with horrible form - arms half extended, a semi-Cup & Saucer hold, standing straight up, put 100 rounds from her 1911 into the 10 ring at 10 yards.
One of the Petaluma SWAT members had, and admitted to having, thoroughly wretched form with his shotgun, but he could walk 5 slugs across the shoulders of the small target in upper left at 50 feet every time. 50 feet being the maximum distance at that indoor range.

Saturday I made this:
https://healthyrecipesblogs.com/buffalo-chicken/#recipe
But baked it on a bed of chunks of onion, carrots, mini bell peppers, and whole garlic cloves, all tossed in garlic oil and the spices. I cut way down on the Tabasco but added in a little Garlic Chili Paste.
Yesterday I brought a few cups of chicken broth to a simmer, added all the leftovers into it to make a soup/stew. The heat from the sauce had really gone up. When my wife gave it a stir and taste it had gone from a pleasant heat to HEAT . We had a small bundle of herbs - rosemary, thyme, a little sage, and something else. Also a small bundle of mint. So she just dumped those in.
That tamed what for us was an unpleasant heat. But the mint gave it a VERY pleasant layer of flavor. A little savory, a little sweet.
Today for breakfast she made a pot of rice, stripped the meat from the drumsticks, and added the meat, vegetables, and broth to that for a nice hearty meal on a cool morning.

That's when she gave me the nickname she called me until her death.
Flipper.
Ooooo.....I think we've found a new one for those people...."Flippers!" Either because they (tried to) flip from one sex to the other, or because they have obviously Flipped Out.
Back in the '70s one guy at the JC I went to had a shirt, "I'd kill Flipper for a tuna sandwich!"-

The routes are not as interesting as each countries destination.
Spain and France ignored the far east. Both countries focused on the Americas.
The Netherlands didn't trade with India or North America while England appears to have traded with everyone.
The Netherlands traded with Japan more than England.
Then there is the politics and economics of why they went to those places. And how what those nations did then influences them today.
The Netherlands is interesting. All that trade to the Slave Coast of Africa and then to the West Indies and Brazil. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it? Could it be that those o, so enlightened Dutchmen were involved in the slave trade? Nah,,,can't be.
Not so much Japan as the East Indies and Spice Islands.
Spain was obviously interested in the precious metals in the Americas.France in the New World is more problematic. All I can think of with the primary interest being Canada would be the fur trade and maybe timber.
England was dumping troublemakers into America, and elsewhere trying to make a quick pound. India was likely for silks and spices, all the rest for trade and empire building.-

So, we can just call you a “Tranny” now?
That leads to the question of what kind of tranny. Obviously non-binary, but is he an automatic, Three on the Tree, or a Four on the Floor? 18-Speed?

If you're using vials of insulin there's a good chance that in a months supply you'll end up with a partial vial when you get your next refill. So it could be that it wouldn't need to be replaced

Re: Cook books.
Hit used book stores and thrift stores for old Weight Watchers Cook Books. While not specifically written with diabetes in mind, they are loaded with diabetes friendly receipts.
Weight Watchers also has programs designed for diabetics.

Also staged.
I can see the kid shooting his father with an arrow. I can see the father going to the ER with the arrow still stuck in him - actually that's the intelligent thing to do. Leave it in the hole so blood doesn't go running out.
But why in the world with the kid bring the bow with him?

From FB
What is this? To me, it looked like a steam locomotive with a pantograph, so I thought it might not be an electric pot type steam locomotive? This is a prototype "electric locomotive" model-1082 made in Austria in 1932.
It seems that a transformer and a huge DC generator are contained in a huge tube like a steam locomotive boiler. The current flows in the following order: pantograph → transformer → rotary phase converter (converts single-phase AC to three-phase AC) → DC generator → DC motor.

Interesting finish, yes and congrats to William Byron who, by the way didn't have a mark on his car. Jimmie Johnson actually finished third!
However, one of these days, these restricted horsepower engines and large pack racing is going to result in a serious injury to a driver or possibly a spectator.
I still advocate for giving all of the horsepower that the engines can put out and slow them down by taking all of that aero crap off of the car. No way are they going to flat foot it around the track then. That would put the race back into the drivers hands and not just who is lucky enough to make it through all of "the big ones".
I agree. If not for the safety issues I'd like to see a return to cars like these
