‘I was behind you at McDonalds’. H/T Legally Sufficient

Falling into the category of Smart Military Blog, AoSHG presents Eight rules for rookie combat pilots in WWI.

Before the Red Baron Manfred von Richthofen was Germany's air power hero, it was Oscar Boelcke, a German air ace and the mentor to von Richthofen and the "Flying Circus."

Boelcke was one of Germany's first fighter aces and, when he took command of a group of fighters, he did all that he could to pass on the knowledge that would keep the men alive. He came up with eight rules that would stand for decades, and most still apply today.

Again we see music causing big trouble! Coachella concert and the rise of Herpes. On the bright side there is an app for that.

When you attend an event like Coachella, you want to leave with memories that will last a lifetime. You don’t want to leave with diseases that will remain just as long, but it seems a large number of fans did.

According to STD diagnosis app HerpAlert, there’s been a 2,083% increase in reported herpes cases in Indio, California and the surrounding area since Coachella’s first weekend. The site normally sees about 16 cases on a given day, but that number bump up to 250 during Coachella’s first day.

Usually, there are stories behind tattoos. Russian prison tattoos are no different.

ternal Affairs, Arkady Bronnikov documented the tattoos of prisoners. For 20 years, Bronnikov travelled across the Ural region uncovering the codified language of Soviet prison tattoos. The results of his study can be found in his published work Russian Criminal Police Files Vol 1.

According to the unwritten law between prisoners, everyone had to have tattoos. The only inmates who were permitted to have clean skin were those on the inside for political crimes. At the time of Bronnikov’s study, the Soviet penal code had a ban on tattoos but, despite this, an estimated 70-98 percent of the 35,000,000 incarcerated felons were inked.

A herd of robots..............
