The ever-smarter donkey


1. Works out it can jump fence
2. Works out lowest place to jump fence
3. Works out it can remove fence
4. Waits for others to solve problem and walks out.

The Slovakian plot thickens....

lots of inbounds to Crimea tonight, all over the western half.

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...

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...

Wouldn't surprise me if the perp has terminal cancer, or similar.
Pomeranian Grenadier.

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 ...

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 ...

Extensive fires at Balbek air base in Crimea, on the main flight line. Concrete does not burn; well, not like this anyway :D 742bd0eaea796045.jpg https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs;@33.59,44.68,14.00z Google maps shows parking for about 40 fighters in this area, with 24 aircraft shown...

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.

Only if they think their country is worth defending, and which rules out the young white males since their government hates them. And if they think the war is winnable, which given all the recent ones weren't.... And their country will value them, which given the attitude of the media to the militar...

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.

Looks suspiciously legal to me..where's the fun in that?

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.

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..
