Re: Chaos in USA
Denver is known as the "Mile High City" If you start in Miami, Florida, basically sea level, it takes 1722 miles to climb that 5280 feet. Not many people know that.

Re: Chaos in USA
"Look at his so-called "university!" About the same as Hilary's (in)famous charity I would imagine. If they want true statesmen and leaders the populace should start by installing a guillotine at the Washington monument. Insider trading, Board seats on corporations, kick-backs from foreign governmen...

Re: Russell Brand
I tried to unravel the reporting on Brand only to find it was a great mess of bias and hear say. I can see him as having a chequered past but is there any actual verified, factual, evidence being offered against him because most of what I can find is unverified accusations from anonymous individuals...

Re: Message encryption on social media
John, Some people probably feel validated because 10,000 people liked the last stupid picture they uploaded, some people love receiving sales messages from Alexa because it makes them feel important. I don't. Even now I receive at least twenty times as many non-requested e-mails as valid ones. It se...

Re: Message encryption on social media
Tell me why the business of the Government and its branches, that I elected, need to be kept secret when my business should be available to the whole World? The idea that government has the right to keep everything secret and the individual has the obligation to be completely open is historically th...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Ukraine has destroyed much of the Russian surveillance capability in the western Black Sea. This involved retaking the oil rig sites used by the Russian military between Odessa and Crimea and the destruction of two major anti-aircraft missile control centres in Crimea itself. The attack on Sevastopo...

Re: How slow can you go? - 20 mile an hour speed limits...
Locally they installed speed bumps, bumps the full width of the road, in an area of residential streets that has considerable through traffic. Someone pointed out that emergency vehicles were slowed down by the bumps so the solution was to level out an area of each bump either side of the centre of ...

Now we only need to get Fat Won on an ego trip and get him to command the first manned flight.

Re: Chaos in USA
When an electronic voting system is introduced that can be accessed by the manufacturer on-line, ie iit is hackable, you have to be concerned. There is at least one proven case of "excess" voters.

Re: United Pilot over the limit in Paris
I would be interested to know if divorce was a factor here. In America the "domestic" courts are now so supportive of the wife that they can actually put a man out onto the streets while setting his ex-wife up work-free for the rest the of her life Ten divorced men commit suicide each day — a suicid...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
That time of year again. Cow elk with young. No bulls, even young ones, with the females at this time. These herds play havoc with the orchards because they can clear a 6 foot fence or at least smash it down. The little building just visible behind the bush is 90 yards away from our kitchen window. ...

And, just like the Kerch Bridge, the Ukrainians will wait until the last nut and bolt is in place and then blast it to scrap.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
The Black Sea belongs to Turkey because Turkey owns the only access. I don't remember the last time a large military vessel was carried by road. ;))) Russia is therefore subject to attrition. Ukraine has capable anti-ship missiles which is why you do not see Russian ships in the Western Black Sea. A...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Considering the air defenses that are installed at the bridge any damage inflicted is a win for Ukraine. The message has to be that if the Ukrainians got through once they can do it again. The cost of the weapons? Peanuts in the scheme of things. A good plan would be to hit the bridge at three separ...

Sorry about the math error, that's what happens when you try to write a quick reply in your lunch hour which is actually a lunch half hour.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Cluster bombs have a low statistical failure rate because some of the bomblets do not detonate on impact (about 1.5% apparently). So a small number of bomblets lie on the ground with a possibility of unintended explosion at a later time, Is this worse than deliberately sowing tens of thousands of mi...

Putin said "OK, I'll get rid of Shaigu and what's his name if you stop the advance on Moscow. Of course, we can't go back to the way things were or it will make me look stupid --- you threatened and I caved so I need you out of Russia. How about you go to Belarus, take the remains of your army who w...
