Remember a few weeks back, on August 5, when I mentioned that after $200,000,000 in refitting, the USS Boxer was still unable to sail? Well, they tried again (less than 2 weeks later,\u00a0 those clever Navy devils) on the 17th:<\/p>\n

The Navy denied any issue with the amphibious assault ship, but video posted online by San Diego Web Cam, a social media account that monitors the harbor, showed smoke billowing from its superstructure as it moved across the water.<\/p>\n

“We just had an engineering casualty — black smoke coming out the stacks,” the ship radioed Thursday afternoon — just hours after leaving her berth at Naval Station San Diego. San Diego Web Cam captured the radio exchange and spotted the smoke coming from the ship<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems after years of trying, we finally caught up<\/del> down to the Russians, whose infamous aircraft the Admiral Kuznetsov pukes black smoke like a teenaged coal-roller’s\u00a0 PowerStroke.<\/p>\n

Military.com is trying to alleviate the dining hall situation at Ft. Hood<\/del> Cavazos by offering up prison tested recipes to help young service members eat better with only vending machines and snack shops available in their AO.<\/p>\n

1. Jailhouse Tamales<\/h3>\n

Ingredients: \u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 One bag Fritos<\/p>\n

\u2022 One bag Flamin’ Hot Cheetos<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hot water<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hot sauce<\/p>\n

If you don’t have an electric kettle or other access to boiling water, you can still boil water. Just get a plastic trash can of water, and then follow ex-jewel thief Larry Lawton’s instructions on how to make a prison boiler<\/a> (we recommend you just get an electric kettle).<\/p>\n

Finely crunch up the chips and put them together in a single bag. Add only enough water to make a thick dough. Drain off excess liquid and roll the dough up inside the bag in the shape of a tamale. Let it rest for a few minutes, then eat with hot sauce.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Somehow, I just don’t see things like this as a solution. I will freely confess, though, that while I love tamales and hot sauce, and occasionally eat Frito pies, I did not actually TRY this. Military.com II<\/a><\/p>\n

Seems the Rooshian Luna-25 moon landing occurred at a little higher velocity than originally intended.<\/p>\n

After many months of delays caused by the country’s costly and reprehensible invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s Luna-25 mission finally set off<\/a>\u00a0this month\u00a0to return the country to the surface of the Moon for the first time in 47 years.<\/p>\n

According to a “preliminary analysis” by Rocosmos, the craft “switched to an off-design orbit” right before it crashed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Futurism<\/a><\/p>\n

Oops.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, subsequent Luna-26 and Luna-27 missions are in the works, but there was a \u00a0 47 year gap between -24 and -25, so who knows.\u00a0 The good part, while we have caught up to Russia in naval coal-rolling, they seem to have caught up to us in weasel-speak. “Off-design orbit”? Or did they just hire a former Washington speechwriter?<\/p>\n

BTW, later reports say the off-switch didn’t work and a thruster which was supposed to burn for less than 30 seconds burned for almost 90. Oops again…<\/p>\n

Apropos of nothing: am I the only one who thinks it’s funny as hell that California is suffering from a storm named Hilary? Thank God the rest of us were spared 7 years ago.<\/p>\n
