¿De qué tanque me hablas, payo?

A right side view of a KC-10 Extender aircraft refueling an SR-71 Blackbird aircraft in-flight during testing. The Extender, silhouetted against the sunset horizon, is from the 78th Air Refueling Squadron, and the Blackbird, the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. Shot August 2nd, 1981.
Yep.
“The F-35 Lightning program cost is 396 billion dollars. Also known as ~2.32 Apollo programs, 90 Large Hadron Colliders, ~2.64 International Space Stations, 26 ITER program reactors, 132 Human Genome Projects, 264 Square Kilometer arrays, ~172 Envisats, 37 Hubble Space Telescopes, or 880 Space Shuttle launches (not all at once though).”
He aquí lo que podría ser un fantástico poster de reclutamiento para el ejército sueco. El arma es un rifle de asalto AK-5 modificado. De ella nunca sabrás el nombre, y te jodes.

We arrived at the pool located at Building 164 and stripped down to our UDT swim shorts. An instructor said, “You are going to love this. Drown-proofing is one of my favorites. Sink or swim, sweet peas.”
I tied my feet together, and my swim partner tied my hands behind my back.
“When I give the command, the bound men will hop into the deep end of the pool,” Instructor Stoneclam said. “You must bob up and down 20 times, float for five minutes, swim to the shallow end of the pool, turn around without touching the bottom, swim back to the deep end, do a forward and backward somersault underwater, and retrieve a face mask from the bottom of the pool with your teeth.”

This is of special interest to writers, sci-fi novelists and conspiracy theorists.
Because you shouldn’t by any circumstance confuse AGI (advanced geospatial intelligence) with AGL (above ground level).

“A portable microwave generator and hand-held antenna are used to seal wounds, binding the edges of the wound together using a biodegradable protein sealant or “solder”. This method could be used for repairing wounds in emergency settings, by restoring the wound surface to its original strength within minutes. This technique could also be utilized for surgical purposes involving solid visceral organs (i.e., liver, spleen, and kidney) that currently do not respond well to ordinary surgical procedures.
The experimental approach utilized was to produce a “test wound” in bovine muscle using a scalpel. Once the incision or cut was made, different candidate protein solders and varying microwave parameters/frequencies were tested for wound closure efficacy. To date, over 200 tests have been performed. Once sealed, the effectiveness of wound closure was measured using a tensile strength meter. Welds stronger than the uninjured (uncut) muscle have been consistently and precisely achieved.”
