Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI

Depends if you have altered the tire pressures in the meantime, though this would likely only make a very small difference, and I expect you are well aware of checking TPs from hot-cold. How the vehicle was loaded for adjustment and tests would make more difference. Another source would be the chang...

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

No damage imagery, other than the S-400, that I've seen so far. Unconfirmed reports indicate up to 38 aircraft on the base, of which 1 Mig-31 and 3 Su-27s damaged. The reports of aircraft damage reports include Russian ones. This may be the first use of Block 2 ATACMS, reports from both sides indica...

Re: A grave mistake

Hamas continues to use the civilian population as shields, so the Israelis have no other options. As for Nabka, remember that it came after the creation of the state of Israel. Firstly, the The UN Committee on Palestine had no representatives from any of the surrounding nations or the Jews involved ...

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

They caught the perp, not that I'm expecting anything much from that in terms of why. What will tell us what's going on is if Orban gets shot soon too. If not, well, everyone in the Balkans has more enemies than they can count. Even if someone's a Saint, their Great(x20)grandfather probably stabbed ...

The Russians have captured a shoe factory and a meat processing plant in northern Vovchansk.* Any claims that they are kicking ass may therefore be dismissed as only referring to cows' asses, and dead ones at that. *I'm not making this up... https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offe...

There's an increasing number of fuel thefts these days, including around here, so it's not just the EV types that are suffering.

There had to be a point where the criminal gangs care so little about justice that they start murdering the police/justice staff. It's been that way on 2 continents for a while, just a case of when it started in Europe and/or North America. The question is, what will the politicians do about it? Now...

You're the expert, but it looks like #3 at fault to me too. Two right ( ;))) ) that Juan seems to get his 2/3 numbering wrong. I'm not convinced the #4 was either out of position or contacted. I think the pilot has seen #3 closing in peripheral vision and made some avoiding movement. I think the con...

The objectives of Ministry of Defence spending are to ensure the prosperity of senior MoD civil servants and their friends running defence industries, and it has always been thus.
Buying stuff is therefore what is needed, not actually using it.

Re: Departed During 2024

When I did my scuba instructor course, we were shown that 1976, the year after Jaws came out, was the only year that the number of people learning scuba dropped.
It was suggested we didn't tell prospective divers this.

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!

Pre-pandemic, it was the correct call to switch from low to high value vehicles (EV or ICE). Just goes to show how utterly and rapidly the governments of the world have f-ed up their economies. Idiots are actually quite clever - they are always coming up with new ways to screw things up that you had...

Must be me, but I didn't find The Great Muppet Caper at all scary. ;)))

Seriously though, there was some pretty amazing stuntwork during the 70s-90s.
It has to be said that CGI has saved quite a few stuntperson's lives since then, and I'm glad Susan got to live long enough to enjoy her fame..

A new definition of Having A Bad Day... A Russian soldier is caught in the open in broad daylight by an FPV drone, carrying nothing but two plastic 4l containers of gasoline. He lobs the first one at the attacking drone and actually hits it, knocking it back somewhat.... Unfortunately for him the dr...

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

It's selective. The Brits have allowed it, some others may have but haven't donated systems that can be without a ground invasion of Russia, others definitely haven't. The basic problem is that most western leaders are stupid, corrupt cowards. Fortunately Boris was generally stupid and corrupt, but ...

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

The Ukrainians will want to take the initiative and start diverting Russian resources themselves, but they don't have sufficient ammo and trained personnel for a sustained offensive yet. I would expect they hope to have by the end of June. Until then, they are just going to have to take the losses. ...
