In Arabic, "habūb" means "blowing furiously." This word has proven to be quite useful to describe the strong sandy winds blowing across the Sudan, but other desert climate residents have also adopted the word. - some article I found.

Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.

Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.

An arms length. We used to be sorted be height and you put your arm out and shuffle in until just touching with your finger tips. Then arms down and you are at attention and in formation.

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and "don't lock your knees" is often taught first thing.

The exterior design introduces flush motorised door handles, a first for a Nissan production vehicle

I really don't like these handles! I do like the overall look though.

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.

DisplayLink docks will sort that out! Ive been running my work M1 with 2 external monitors for a couple years now. 34" ultrawide for the main, 4k on the left, laptop on the right.

I recently saw a pigeon doing its mating ritual trying to attract another pigeon in my yard. That other pigeon had been dead for over a week! That didn't stop the mating attempt. This is also how I picture trump.

Presumably you also take big greasy shits in your home state, so this is real dumb. People gotta poop. Arizona has a lot of beautiful areas and good people.
