Could be worse... If they landed in.... LA, no one would notice NY, no one would care DC, they'd immediately be denigrated as a Trumpist Conspiracy Theory Kherson, they'd be targetted by Russian artillery Tehran, they'd be beaten to death for not wearing a hijab Mumbai, they'd be run over by 17 diff...

It's a compatibility problem. Your Spanish keyboard doesn't even wake up till 11am. Your British PC has been available for work since 8am, but has now mysteriously disappeared on a "tea break" now that the keyboard is available for work. The tea break, plus "delivery issues' will last until ten past...

US Senate considering the Ukraine Aid Bill - vote expected later tonight. I presume Sleepy Joe can find his pen by tomorrow morning. Crimea and Taganrog have active air defence, unknown whether the weapons are sophisticated, or not, or both. putin appears to want Chasiv Yar captured for his May Day ...

After the break from formation, the second to outside helo on the right seems to collide with the outside right helo. The basic reason for the collision is that the second to outside pilot failed to keep separation from the outside helo after the break from formation. Looks like the main rotor disc ...

You're very kind.
Try this...

That'll be the 21 degree difference in melting temperature, then!

Roofs are good. Stopping air leaks is the cheapest.
The simple facts with insulation are knowing where the problems are and insulating/draughtproofing carefully - only the homeowner can do that.
Every contractor is paid by the hour and isn't paying any part of the subsequent energy bills.

I've been there, for one year.
More external insulation.
I'm stripping off my old siding and adding 2" of foam under the new shortly.

Examiners had (probably still do have) a quota. Your mate probably took his test at the end of the month. By chance, my mother took her 6th driving test immediately after my sister #1 took her first test, and with the same examiner. My mum informed him that they had the same instructor, that he had ...

and the Lion will lay down with the Lamb...
...and the Lamb lies down on Broadway...
It will all go quiet until Israel has taken delivery of the latest batch of promised US goodies.

I believe the Orkneys and Shetlands didn't have roundabouts in the test because there weren't any. Ricardian can perhaps advise.

How's filming 'Fury 2' going?
'Well, Brad wasn't available, we have to go woke so it stars a black woman and a ginger trans...and the budget's pretty low'

Bring back the Cold War!
When being a deeply insensitive, devious b@stard could get you a job as an RAF fighter pilot, whereas now the only options are Albanian gang enforcer or, if also completely shameless, a politician.

Ukraine isn't going to be punching holes in any Russian line. They tried that last year with much more ammo. And exactly how are they going to move into Crimea, and sustain that assault? The Ukrainians do have to hit Russia where they haven't so far. I still think that means the Kerch Bridge, and th...

Gold vs 10YR US Bond Rate (inverted) Screenshot from 2024-04-21 11-49-55.png Normally, when Bond interest rates rise, Gold drops in value, and v.v. So, the inverted Bond rate tracks the Gold price. Note that the current divergence is much less than during the Great Financial Crisis The divergence eq...

Gin clear, almost calm wind, and warming up nicely. Just as well as I have a huge amount to do this year. This week's job include building the second floor of my barn, digging my veggie patches, building 3 raised beds, and prepping for re-insulating and re-siding most of the outside of the house. In...

xi can't really lose from the Ukraine war.
If Russia wins, he goes south.
If Russia loses, he goes north.
But Russia will lose.
Which is preferable for China, as they will get Siberia's mineral wealth, especially the oil.

Since the beginning of human tribes, the point of occupying land is to get some benefit out of it. That isn't happening for Russia, and is why putin has already lost. Flattening a town to occupy it brings nothing but rebuilding costs. They can't farm it because the land's mined, and the drainage is ...

Sevastopol harbour - Looks like the Russians successfully intercepted a Ukrainian anti-ship missile by firing a ship at it =)) or "The attack was repelled. A fire was started by falling debris" as they currently prefer to express it. https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112308328633536617 https://mstdn...
