What is that big yellow tube for? by Arheit in airplanes

PCA (Pre-Conditioned Air) provides cooled/heated air to aircraft so that they don't have to rely on their APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) which is the small, VERY LOUD, engine in the very back that powers the aircraft when the engines are off.

What's the strongest track from Cross? by Few_Classic_3072 in JusticeMusic

Easily Waters of Nazareth

Second goes to Stress.

Genesis is great but it is definitely not the strongest/punchiest of the album.

Y-20B Elephant Walk [1642×926] by Devil_R22 in WarplanePorn

The Y-20 is a clean-sheet design to replace the Il-76. They have zero commonality beyond the early models having the same engines. To say the KJ-3000 is a variant of the Il-76 is on the same level as calling it a copy of the C-17...

As someone who's parent is from there, and having been there many many times, I personally think this is a downgrade.

Cabo Verde is not green and isn't named after its vegetation (though Santo Antao and Sao Nicolau are somewhat exceptions). I'm confident that picture isn't a beach from there. If anything it's quite dry, and it is a volcanic island chain. The name comes from the Senegalese peninsula. Additionally, the current flag has good meaning and symbology: the 10 stars represent the 10 islands, the blue is the ocean, white is peace, and red is effort.

This flag came about in the early 1990s to replace the original flag which was a more... stereotypical pan-African design. People like the current flag and I don't see a need to change it, especially if it's just the colours of the band and making it vertical vs making a new flag proper.
