logistics

[merelydovely]

mr. dove just informed me, apropos of nothing*, that in order to simplify logistics and allow for greater flexibility in the event of a supply line failure, every single thing in the US military runs on jet fuel

the jets run on jet fuel. the ships run on jet fuel. the helicopters run on jet fuel. the tanks run on jet fuel. the humvees run on jet fuel. even the heaters and the stoves run on jet fuel.

it helps a lot with keeping things simple as far as supply lines go, but apparently it's hamstringing their creativity when it comes to experimenting with any alternative that can't immediately go into every single fuel-powered thing they use.

just a little random fact for your day!

That's honestly a super interesting fact. Thanks for sharing!

(also it turns out I was already following you lol)

ha, yeah, I thought that might be the case! I just haven't been active here since early 2021.

Neither, so perhaps it's no wonder we haven't found each other. Maybe I should update my icons so I'm not using a picture of me from nearly a decade ago.

But that braid tho!!

The pink icon is also from quite a while back...I could switch to this blue one instead but it's definitely sloppier!

Just use the Eposette one every time. What time of day are queer kisses not appropriate?
