There are DOD ID numbers, but they've updated the forms to just ask for both.

I will say that I take issue with the fact that several of the more popular trails/areas where permits are issued by lottery. Recreation.gov charges a $10 lottery fee, which you pay even if you don’t get a permit, on top of the fee for the actual permit.

Navy or Marines?

Oh there will be plenty of beers consumed to balance out all the sport.

Well, I have time to read.

Yep, that's the one thing I got started on quickly.

I'm looking into paramotoring or potentially gliding.

I'm running into the issue of not having won the lottery when I think about the things I'd like to do and the cost of doing them.

I wish I were back in San Diego, I'd love to get back in the water. Sadly I'm in the gulf coast, so not much here in the way of surf. I'm thinking of building a longboard though.

I really need to ship my mountain bike out here.

Hiking the PCT is absolutely a bucket list item. Sadly, the on-call part means I have to remain local. I'm definitely planing to explore though.

In my experience astrodynamics was always taught (undergrad) by ignoring the mass of the spacecraft entirely, since when calculating the forces the mass of the spacecraft and fuel was negligible compared to the mass of the planets.

I mean if research also shows that switching times twice a year doesn't save money either, then it probably makes sense to transition for quality of life purposes.

Reading about the training and preparation, both physical and mental, that astronauts do is pretty inspirational. Astronauts are examples of peak human beings.

That makes sense, but is there a way to quantify that? I've always had the notion that something like a roadside sobriety test is rather subjective. I know that if I were in the situation of being suspected of a DUI (which I hope I never am), I would want a clear, quantifiable test, with a low margin of error.

Big Sur is great, and quite a fun drive. There is also the Marin Headlands and Muir woods north of San Francisco

As nice as it would be to have a reliable nonlethal alternative to firearms, there simply are no nonlethal weapons capable of stopping someone who is presenting an immediate threat. Tranquilizers and anesthesia are administered by an anesthesiologist, a doctor trained to determine a dosage based on a person's body mass. Too much of a dose, or even administering it too quickly can cause serious complications, or even death. Even under the controlled environment of an operating room 1/20 patients die under full anesthesia a year.

Sadly, the most reliable method of stopping a person presenting a threat is with a firearm.

The developer previews will be available today, already have iOS 10 running on one device.

I really wish the "Who is Hiring" threads had a more unified formatting, to make it easier to search (and collect data) for certain things, especially location.
