It's a little known fact that a qfp standing up tall is simply frightened, and can be calmed down with a few gentle strokes on its top.

Cooked black bean soup with Chinese pork ribs. Bought the ribs from Cheung Hing in Millbrae.
Cooked the pre-soaked beans for 8 hours in a slow cooker with a 3:1 stock to beans ratio, and ~1# (450g) of cooked ribs.
Separated the meat, shredded it off the bones, and pureed the beans.

This ain't no battlefield call of duty.
Proper milsims, such as VBS/ArmA are wargames with a ton of actors and often guided by GMs/Umpires.
Variation between realism levels are a wide spectrum.
That said take a look at this little gem and elevate your gameplan.

Why do people use LLMs without checking the work?
I am old enough to remember the advent of spellcheck, in word processors. It was for my typos (teh for the) & spelling demons (eg seperate). It was also terrible for job-specific words, like polysilicon & photoresist.
But I could see that.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
