Every squadron, wing, and group patch has to be submitted to the heraldry office (can’t remember the exact name) for review to make sure it complies with USAF standards, to make sure the colors make sense (they need a reason for each color), and to make sure that it draws on patches used by predecessors (if the squadron used a Pegasus in the 1950s and was deactivated, and then reactivated in the present, the new patch should probably have a Pegasus).

I have no strong feelings toward Van Gogh but the song itself is a beautiful tribute to the artist. https://youtu.be/dipFMJckZOMI keep going back to Vincent by Don McLean.

I’m progressive much faster than my first play though but I think it’s mostly due to knowing the enemies and maps better.
Next on my radar is Dark Souls Remastered but I heard it’s all but dead at this point, so we’ll see.

Comment on Tech Workers Versus the Pentagon in ~comp
dugongAKAmanatee LinkI feel like this is a cop out. "What voice do I have besides this Q&A?" "Well, you have this Q&A."Then, during the Q&A period, several of the questions were about Project Maven. Leadership got hammered. This was totally unplanned, and I don’t think anyone expected such a forceful employee response. One woman stood up and said something like, “Hey, I left the Defense Department so I wouldn’t have to work on this kind of stuff. What kind of voice do we have besides this Q&A to explain why this project is not okay?”
Sergey Brin, one of Google’s cofounders, responded first. And his response really paid us dividends. He said something like, “Letting you ask that question is the voice that you have. Very few companies would allow you to do that.”

I don’t disagree. I can’t listen to him let alone try to read through a paragraph of his words. Maybe he’s just stupid. Then again, maybe that’s part of his strategy too. Nobody suspected Doofy in Scary Movie because he was the village idiot.
