@Esoteric_Though @Rainmaker1973 I keep my fork in my dominant hand and cut with my nondominant hand. Why would you switch hands? And Ive taken formal classes and eaten in formal dinners, never been an issue or anything I've noted others doing. There is no rational basis for decreeing one form to be good or bad
Bringing the heat. 💥🌊 #USSMustin dials in its firepower during a Mk 38 live-fire exercise! As part of DESRON 15, this forward-deployed crew stays lethal and ready to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific. 🇺🇸⚓️ #USNavy #SouthChinaSea #7thFleet #IndoPacific @USPacificFleet
@Rainmaker1973 I've never understood people saying Americans switch hands. I don't, and don't know anyone who does. I've only ever seen this in etiquette classes with no reason ever given.
@Thanato84121237 @MilitaryCooI This is not automatic. That is a guideline, but state law and the eventual settlement agreement trumps the guideline. My ex only eligible for half my retirement at the rank & percentage I'd have gotten if I retired the day we separated. Read the fine print carefully.
@upstatefederlst Ummm, we did. That's all that played on the UHF channels.
@BachmannRudi I believe any congressional map that produces a representation more than one standard deviation different from the voter demographics, it should be invalid. 49%party with only 1/10th the number of representatives, it's no longer government by the people, party doesn't matter.
Overnight, U.S. forces conducted a right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding of the stateless sanctioned M/T Tifani without incident in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility. As we have made clear, we will pursue global maritime enforcement efforts to disrupt illicit networks and interdict sanctioned vessels providing material support to Iran—anywhere they operate. International waters are not a refuge for sanctioned vessels. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.

@JeffGauch @ndlily75 @Fstonehome @amuse @PeteHegseth @USNavy Navy guy here, sailors & marines like to complain, & some gym Bros may not be getting as much as they want, but they are all getting sufficient kcals, well made, maybe not all fresh fruit & veg, but replenishments ARE happening. CS's are awesome!
@RealDougCasey Yeeeesh, to be so utterly, confidently, prevaricatingly wrong on every point. I'm almost more impressed than I am disgusted.
@ABell2019 @MichaelARothman Common/customary law and prior treaties on maritime innocent, transit, and international strait transit predates UNCLOS and remains valid. The US Navy often performs Freedom of Navigation ops to keep the law valid all around the world, signing UNCLOS is unnecessary to enforce it.
@davepl1968 Kids in school did watch it live, because Christa McAuliffe, the Teacher In Space, was aboard. Soooooo, yeah, I saw that live.

皆んながこのツイートに寄せてくれたお勧めハードSF小説を列挙してみました！今年の1年はもうこれだけで楽しめるんじゃないだろうか🤔 1. 竜の卵（ロバート・L・フォワード）：中性子星の表面に住む超高密度生命体と人類の交流を描く 2. 太陽の簒奪者（野尻抱介）：太陽を取り囲む謎の構造物が突然出現。異星知性との接触と人類の選択を描く日本産ハードSF。 3. 重力の使命（ハル・クレメント）：重力が地球の数百倍の惑星を舞台に、人間と異星人が協力して探査を進める古典的名作。 4. リングワールド（ラリイ・ニーヴン）：恒星を取り囲む巨大な環状構造物を探索するメガストラクチャーSFの金字塔。 5. 白熱光（グレッグ・イーガン）：異なる物理法則が支配する宇宙を舞台に、知性の本質を問うイーガン流の極北。 6. ディアスポラ（グレッグ・イーガン）：肉体を捨てたデジタル知性体が宇宙の根本的な謎に迫る、スケール無限大の傑作。私がこの世で最も好きなSF小説です 7. 渇きの海（アーサー・C・クラーク）：月面の「塵の海」に沈んだ船と救助隊の知恵と工夫のサバイバル。問題解決型でヘイル・メアリーに最も近い読感。 8. 遥かなる地球の歌（アーサー・C・クラーク）：滅びゆく地球から宇宙に旅立った人類の末裔たちが辿り着いた星での邂逅を描く叙情的大作。 9. 都市と星（アーサー・C・クラーク）：10億年後の未来、永遠に閉じた都市に生きる人類と、それを飛び出した一人の男の旅。 10. 月は無慈悲な夜の女王（ロバート・A・ハインライン）：月面植民地の独立革命を描く政治SFにして娯楽の極み。 11. 夏への扉（ロバート・A・ハインライン）：冷凍睡眠とタイムトラベルを絡めた愛と再会の物語。 12. たったひとつの冴えたやり方（ジェイムズ・ティプトリーJr.）：少女と異星人の純粋な友情と、その切すぎる結末。短編集収録の名作。 13. 三体（劉慈欣）：文化大革命から始まり、宇宙規模の文明間戦争へ発展する中国SF三部作。スケールと発想の独自性で世界を席巻。 14. 地球移動作戦（劉慈欣）：太陽が膨張する前に地球ごと移動させるという超スケールの計画を描く劉慈欣の代表短編。 15. 星を継ぐもの（J・P・ホーガン）：月面で発見された5万年前の宇宙服を着た死体。謎の解明が宇宙の歴史を塗り替えるミステリSF。 16. ガニメデの優しい巨人（J・P・ホーガン）：『星を継ぐもの』続編。眠り続ける巨人の宇宙船とその文明の謎へ。 17. 造物主の掟（J・P・ホーガン）：人工知能が自律進化し、やがて知性の本質を問い始める。機械知性SFの傑作。 18. 創世記機械（J・P・ホーガン）：統一場理論と別次元空間をめぐる壮大な物理学SF。 19. 未来からのホットライン（J・P・ホーガン）：時間通信をめぐる量子論的世界分岐テーマ。 20. 未来の二つの顔（J・P・ホーガン）：ホーガン中期の量子SF。 21. 啓示空間（アレステア・レナルズ）：フェルミのパラドックスに独自の答えを叩き出す暗鬱な宇宙SF三部作の第一作。 22. 方舟は荒野をわたる（春暮康一）：異質な知性同士の相互理解を丁寧に積み上げる日本産ハードSF。 23. コンタクト（カール・セーガン）：科学者が主人公の、誠実すぎるほど誠実なファーストコンタクトSF。映画版も名作。 24. マーダーボット・ダイアリー（マーサ・ウェルズ）：人間と機械の合いの子「弊機」が主人公のユーモラスで切ないSFシリーズ。キャラクター造形が破格。 25. 天冥の標（小川一水）：感染症・宇宙移民・異星知性をまたぐ1000年分の人類史を描く日本SF最大のシリーズ。 26. 一億年のテレスコープ（小川一水）：気が遠くなるほど長い時間スケールで知性の進化を描く短中編。 27. バビロニア・ウェーブ（堀晃）：恒星間エネルギービームをめぐる政治・経済・文明の衝突を描く日本産ハードSFの先駆け。 28. 太陽風交点（堀晃）：太陽風を帆として航行する宇宙船など、詩情あふれる科学的ビジョンが並ぶ短編集。 29. 石の血脈（半村良）：SF×伝奇の異色作。純粋なハードSFではないが、日本的な血と歴史の物語。
『#プロジェクト・ヘイル・メアリー』を観た人に薦めるハードSF小説を列挙して紹介していく記事とか需要あるだろうか？
