It's worth pointing out that people in First Class are at more of a risk, and more of a danger to others, than those in the cheap seats.
I was also wondering - physics or psychology? :) - and now Rwy says it's just about space! #-o

Quite a detailed one from CNN: ‘Code 9.2’: The secretive Ukrainian drone unit tasked with dropping mines into Russia The “Code 9.2” drone unit, from the 92nd assault brigade, are moving into a new launch position from where they are about to conduct a rare and potent mission: flying drones into Russ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Zelenskyi has asked the West to at least destroy the missiles in UKR airspace intended by ruz to kill UKR civilians. Which is what I haven't understood - Poland's fighters are alerted and up there, but do not take the missiles down, how's that normal or human - somewhere it was said UKR needs to exp...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

quite interesting issues - as the Novorossisk mazut storage was hit, problems arise: ruz does not use mazut massively, meaning they need storage, meaning if they produce and there's not enough storage... Then, the mine sweeper reported to have been hit. Some analysts believe it is too insignificant ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

I note a report of Russians welding a sheet metal roof and sides onto tanks ("Turtle Tanks") to protect them from munitions descending laterally or vertically. reportedly there are also UAZ-vehicles, the turtle-type :D. As for Vyborg, oil storage ecxplosions by explosives, UKR has claimed. ruz says...

Interesting, isn't it. Him, and at this 'volatile' time.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

P.S UKR drones all over the Crimea and southern parts of ruz - meaning, the ruz air defence has been really thinned. Videos will surely be available during the day.
1 SU-25 down, but UKR also lost one aircraft.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

ruz took IT and GER banks' assets. That much about being friendly and polite towards putin. WSJ (just a quote, I have no access): Ukraine has asked the Biden administration to help identify targets in Russia for Kyiv to strike using its own weapons. It has also asked the U.S. to lift restrictions on...

Re: Co-pilot Halucinating

Interesting. Some translation software (not machine translation!) can do that - more or less. Once I had a handwritten power of attorney - I wouldn't have been able to read it, but when Trados had done most of it, I could fill in the gaps. But then, the software has to 'upload' it and analyses it in...
