There's an old story I've heard from more than one source, but is probably apocryphal. When Guinness used to be shipped by boat to Africa, it went a bit gamy on the way. When Guinness opened a brewery in South Africa, they had to adjust the recipe to suit what consumers there had become accustomed to.
Probably BS six ways to Sunday but amusing.

Similar story regarding IPA. The stuff tasted off by the time it arrived in India so they figured it out and made it slightly differently so that the off came close to the desired flavor at the end.

A person has to be really driven to achieve this level in the workplace. But some of that drive should probably go towards respecting the other people in the workplace.

Dunlop made employees cry, gave them sleepless nights and humiliated them

Take your retirement. You're qualified to run for a progressive Senate seat already held by some other driven old battle axe who's due to drop dead in office.

Putting her funky a$$ in the SAPCO office doesn't seem to be a real feather in one's cap career wise in route to a fourth star. This broad just needs to put in her retirement paperwork and GTFO.

In today's Air Force wouldn't that make her a good Drill Instructor? Or too harsh for that too?
#8
My first Boss was a Screamer and a Micromanager combined. He also had a fine touch at handling his job -- a skill that gradually declined as age inevitably eroded his focus and vitality. Sounds like she has reached the point where she can't micromanage effectively any more and is having temper tantrums because the Staff (that she browbeat into being mindless drones) ...Just doesn't show any initiative!

No mention of warnings frm the chain of command. Her removal could have beem done quietly, with respect. But that would not have provided a WOKEE event

Thanks for the [DM] warning. Dunno if there are people who can actually read that site but trying to find the content among all the blinking ads and videos is too annoying for me.

Assigned to turn around an organization that did not want to be turned around? One goes in knowing one will be hated long before the job is done, and accepts the necessary sacrifice of one’s career thereafter out of love for the company, because all the bridges will be burnt in the process and senior management will not have one’s back.
Or possibly she was a management problem before that, and the Air Force tried shoving her in a corner of the organization where her lacks didn’t matter — her previous reputation would shed light on this. We can’t look to the Daily Mail, as they are incapable of formulating such questions, never mind seeking out the answers.
Dunlop was removed as director of the Special Access Programs Control Office, or SAPCO, and now serves as the Air Force's director of capability requirements.
Witnesses also described Dunlop is an extraordinarily talented and accomplished officer who meant well and wanted the Air Force to succeed.
She believed that SAPCO was a broken organization that she was meant to come in and fix.
In a statement provided to Air Force Times, Dunlop's lawyer, Gary Myers, suggested that Dunlop's efforts to reform SAPCO led to the IG complaint against her.
Myers said that Dunlop is grateful that the Air Force considered her response alongside the IG report when deciding to allow her to continue serving.
Several witnesses said they tried to talk to Dunlop about the way she was acting in meetings and the climate in the SAPCO office, but found her unreceptive to the feedback.

"General Dawn removes the steel balls from her pocket and she spins them in her palm insistently as she speaks. ... I tried to run the office properly by the book but they fought me at every turn. If the staff wanted to walk around with their shirttails ..."
[Ledger] LAKELAND — The missile awaits its final destination.
A live French S-530 air-to-air missile discovered at Lakeland Linder International Airport is now sitting safe and secured at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa awaiting its disposal. The unarmed missile was first discovered Friday.
"It was transported back to MacDill where we have munition storage facilities, kind of similar to what a bunker would look like with some thick walls," said Lt. Brandon Hanner, chief of media operations at MacDill. "It is secured and safe and they are just waiting on when and where they are going to dispose of the missile. Those details are yet to be solidified."
Hanner said in previous cases where an ordnance has been picked up, the typical method of disposal would be to take it out to the explosives range and detonate it. But this missile is "too large to do that at MacDill," so the disposal logistics are being planned out.
"Sometimes it is done in Avon Park, like an Air Force range out there, but the details of when and where that is going to happen are not drawn in stone yet," Hanner said. "The only thing out of the ordinary about this is it is not a U.S.-made missile, which is why we were dispatched out to it."
The air-to-air missile — which is made to launch from the air targeting other objects in the air — was found near Draken International, a defense contractor located at Lakeland Linder. Its discovery eventually led to a partial evacuation of the airport’s southeast side for a few hours.

Draken provides OPFOR (Opposing Force) and allied nation aircraft, US pilots (possibly others), and foreign tactics for USAF training and exercises.
DALLAS COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) - The Dallas County Courthouse was briefly evacuated and blocked off Tuesday afternoon due to a bomb scare.
The situation developed after a woman brought a grenade to the courthouse wanting to find a way to dispose of it. The explosive device was in her car, according to officials.
Following an examination of the device, experts determined it was a harmless training grenade that didn’t have any explosive powder in it.
No injuries were reported. The Lady is a friend of mine. I'll call her Jenny. She can be a bit ditzy at times. It all started with her late husband who was an avid scuba diver. Several years ago he was diving in the Alabama River near the Edmund Pettus Bridge and found some Civil War artifacts and several WWII practice grenades. They had already been used. For some reason Jenny has been carrying one of them around in her trunk in a small cooler. She went to the courthouse to file some paperwork and when she parked there were two Sheriff's Deputies near the entrance, so she asked if they could help her dispose of the grenade. Jenny showed them the grenade and they took her away from the car, evacuated the courthouse, and called the Bomb Squad in Montgomery which took about two hours for a response. After they determined it posed no danger everything returned to normal, Jenny went in and filed her paperwork. Jenny said she asked the clerk if she enjoyed her "vacation" and then told the clerk what happened.

Not going to happen. Major spontaneous separations occurring at this time. Women will have no part of that. They want their freedom and independence. They might date but the guy has to have money. Child, then major child support for years. So men know this and they are not dating. Even at work they avoid being alone with women coworkers. Con virus has made things so much worse for any interaction.

If immunity only lasts 3 months, then this will be a regular cycle. And masks could make it worse. By slowing down infection rates to a longer period than the 3 months to lose immunity you make this a perpetual cycle. Fun. Of course, that won't happen, because masks in practice do nothing.

People still have SARS coronavirus immunity today, and also immunity to similar cold corona viruses, so there is some question in my mind whether SARS-2/COVID-19 conveys similar long-term immunity. We’ll see, but I notice the tendency to run with worst case scenarios.

How mean! De Blasio can't help it if he's always mistaken for a rat. It's not HIS fault that he's bottom dwelling, plague spreading, vermin. What do you expect him to do, start acting like he cares about other people?

Global Warming means it is getting hotter. Most things expand as they get warmer. Does this mean we will soon see Rodents of Unusual Size swarming about NYC?
#11
Politicians always cut the most important things first: police, fire, paramedics, sanitation. That way, people will complain to their Congresscritters that the feds HAVE to give NYC money or people will DIE!!!

The've been doing that for decades. The first budget items are always the pet-projects. The critical Police, Medical, Infrastructure always come last. That way they can claim they don't have enough for them and need to raise taxes.

Do we have any way to deploy bouys with nets hanging between them so as to give away a sub following behind one of ours? Such a net might give away presence (bouys would suddenly move as the net is hit) but could also be used to attach things to the following subs hull forcing htem to slow and remove. Or is that sort of thing just fantasy...
#2
It's a really good idea. Maybe lose the nets and just make the buoys very passive detect sensitive and able to maneuver. Once such a buoy attached or even detected a sub nearby, it could phone home or even call bigger friends that are in the vicinity.

[NYPOST] German researchers will test whether universal basic income could work by handing out around $1,400 per month to a group of people for three years.The German Institute for Economic Research experiment will involve 1,500 people randomly selected throughout the country, though only 120 will receive the cash payments, the Times of London reported.
Funded by about 140,000 private donors, the pilot program will give out the equivalent of $1,430 a month, putting the participants just above the poverty line.
The entire group will fill out regular surveys about their lives to gauge how their attitudes and behaviors change, the outlet reported.
"So far the debate has resembled a philosophical salon at best, and a religious war at worst," Jurgen Schupp, who will lead the study, told German outlet Der Spiegel, according to the Times.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
