Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

    Yeah I have a relative who’s similarly tall, and he was a gunner in the airforce. I have no clue how he fit into those planes but he apparently saw combat and everything.

    He had a house built for him with 8 foot door frames and 10+ foot ceilings so that he wouldn’t have to duck at home

      Oh I bet he had amazing counter heights. And yeah, once you get to these heights the social model of disability starts making their height look increasingly like a disability with how much custom and specialty stuff they need. But yeah it was really fun when we were young adults watching him drunkenly navigate buildings not made for people his size.

        Come to think of it, they are a really nice height! Normal counters an average sized person has to bend a little but these you can comfortable eat at while standing. I imagine they’d be a bit too high for me to comfortable cook at being only 5’8"ish but yeah I never thought about that

          Yeah at 5’11" my back hurts from too much time bent over cooking. From here on up you notice more and more of the world is just too small for you.
