That I couldn't say. Speaking for a position of complete ignorance, if the engines are lit and it's moving, I'd expect the ejection system to be armed, so they should have helmets. But I've never been on, let alone worked, a flight line

Really though, those that couldn't read were fine doing pattern matching, and had years of experience masking. And we'd pointedly advice to sticking to the same font on everything when marking up the warehouse. 2/2

I watched that for a lot longer than I'd planned to 😁 Made me think back to when I was did warehouse management systems. Had a PM who used to enjoy saying "as long as your staff can read, you'll have no problems", just to get a look of panic on the clients faces 😂😂😂 1/2

I just love Waffle House's disaster planning. There's a lot of "the European mind can't comprehend" BS on here, but the thing I find amazing is a fast food chain that puts so much effort into business continuity. They have instruction based around the types of outages.

Agree Coming round the corner it looked too pointy to be a missile, so I could believe is was some sort of instrumentation, but with the antennas "magically appearing", I really thought it was AI. But why they aren't wearing helmets?

ACE or ACMI pods. If we're taking about the inboard side, it gains it's 3 fins (and there is the 4th) appear as it completed the turn, can't see them before then. On the outboard side, it starts off looking like a Sidewinder, and then it gains a "friend" xitter.cf/CodeRecce/status/21154…
Coming round the corner it's very "pointy" (so as to look intimidating, (with an Sidewinder closest). It has no fins, then it has fins!!! Got to be AI. Pilots aren't wearing helmets. And should the air intakes be in that position when taxiing ?

Yes, but no!! On the outboard side it looks a if there are 2 weapons. I've never seen 2 weapons side-by-side in a row on the same same side of a pylon. On the inboard side, where's the 4th fins. How does it not clash when launching. xitter.cf/CodeRecce/status/21154…

What the hell is this? I don't mean the drop tank, but the "weapons" on the plyon

I was looking from the Russian POV. IMHO Trump has no interest in remaining in NATO. And is too shortsighted regarding US alliances.

Not sure any "standard" car should risk more than a foot of water. That the Mini died was no surprise.

JMS was definitely a fan of Walter Koenig and wanted him to have a role that could show everyone how well he could act. Bester is probably the most impactful character outside of the station command staff, and the 4 main ambassadors (+staff)

Yeah, just re-read that Tweet and it is looks as if I meant Belarus was in the EU, which it isn't. I meant that I thought Belarus and Serbia would be buying from Russia, as well as the unknown EU countries.

I would love to see a breakdown by EU country, I would not be surprised to see Belarus and possibly Serbia as the countries still buying. The EU can't be treated as a single entity in the same way the USA can.

Strategically it's a great dilemma to give Ukraine. Either give up the intelligence support from the USA, or give up a strategically useful Russia target. Have chosen giving up the support, probably because the know Trump will find some reason to withdraw it soon anyway.

Remember kids, pick the fact that suits your narrative, not a number of facts to convey the truth. "The EU is funding Russia by buying all the LNG" 🤣🤣

He did say Bester was one of his favourite roles, called it Act 2 of his career. Originally he was going to be of the 2 operatives that kidnap and interrogate Sinclair about the Battle of the Line. But Koenig had a heart attack. Got the Bester character in S2 instead.

Halloween artificial cobweb material: It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them. And it's not only birds. Last year I had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs. The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries. When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds. These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death. Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue. Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated. Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror? And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless. Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive. If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now. Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.

Used to light a fuse, NOT detonate a explosive directly. A striker allows you to light a fuse underwater, but in any event you want something more reliable than a match 😁 If you had an instantaneous fuse, I'm guessing you could use rig it with a tripwire.
