Well that applies to every western leader for the last 30 years at least.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Lightning does strike twice.
A Russian T-64BV destroyed near Bilohorivka. The first FPV pierces the cope cage and immobilizes the tank after which a second FPV hits it at the same place, causing detonation.

Re: Massive Airports Coming to a Desert Nowhere Near You
I've worked in the Sandpit. There were some other ex-pats working there too. We were the only ones doing any effective work. With the exception of the odd Jordanian or Egyptian, who were OK, and had as low an opinion of the rest of Arabia as the ex-pats. At least the more educated Omanis were pleasa...

:)) A lot of that sounds familiar! Maybe these, from my little Island, will also ring a bell. When the hairdresser asks how you want your hair done, you reply "short". In 10 years, you have never heard any other customer ask for anything else. You know there's a storm forecast because almost all the...

As I said a while back, I think this is an essential part of a successful Ukrainian strategy for this year.Ukraine received Western weapons from some partners with a permission to strike at Russian territory.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
When driving across Canada a few years ago, I got a slow leak from one tyre at about 10pm. It was in the middle of the great New Brunswick forest. The isolated gas station that appeared out of the gloom was closed, but I pulled in anyway. Sticking out through a hole in the garage wall was a tyre inf...

Re: Airlines reliant on GPS
It's hard to find a big organisation that actually has a back up for anything these days. All the big shops shut down here if there's an internet failure. They could take cash instead of cards, but management won't let them sell anything because the electronic inventory system wouldn't be usable. Fo...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
A new development, I think. The Ukrainians are now targeting Russian army trucks over the border in Belgorod Oblast. https://twitter.com/sternenko/status/1784582556299530743 This is about 5 miles over the border, east of Shebekino. It's the first main highway on the Russian side. I don't think the d...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
The Ukes have now started on the Russian railways. Two diesel locomotives destroyed. One in Orenburg (of the floods), and one in Vladikavkaz (Caucasus) Both a long way from Ukraine and each other. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/04/28/7453383/ However, Russian railways do have about 20,000 l...

Re: A grave mistake
Can't say I've ever met a shouty student who had a clue about anything.
I've been part of 2 student actions. There were no meetings, speeches, rallies, protests, or shouting; just action. Both were successful.

Ask them when they are flying out to Palestine to start resisting.
Otherwise, Intifada is just a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Clear sky, no wind. A big breakfast, then off to continue stripping all the old vinyl siding off the house, east wall this time.
Roast beef and beer as the reward when it's done.

Re: Delta flight makes emergency return after exit slide separates from Boeing aircraft
As I predicted a couple of months ago, every single failure to a Boeing will now be headline material.
It's just the way the media works.

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!
My understanding from studies in aviation is that it takes more attention to monitor an autopilot in a complex manoeuvring environment than it does to control the vehicle directly. This is not surprising; humans have not evolved to monitor, but to do. And Tesla comparisons with the average can't be ...
