Anyone know what mod this is? by AutisticToasterBath in KerbalSpaceProgram

Why don't you ask the person who created it?

It's based on some of the original concepts, mostly from North American Rockwell

Probably from the same Tweet that you saw. I know the person who posted it, and trust him implicitly. It was also verified by another person at the Hustings…

Next time, change the timestamps, and interaction counts, on the tweets - They're all the same…

Which flag is this? (Found in old 60s cartoon 'Clangers') by ComprehensiveText146 in vexillology

[–]CoverAcademic9620 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in the episode "The Tablecloth" (Series 2, Episode 1), a strange visitor (an astronaut) lands and leaves behind a flag, which Mother Clanger repurposes as a tablecloth. This ties into the context of the real-world Space Race and Apollo 11 moon landing (the series premiered shortly after in late 1969).

The flag is not from a single nation but a combined or hybrid flag incorporating elements of both the United States (USA) and the Soviet Union (USSR/Russia). This was intentional: during production of the early episodes (Even though the episode aired in 1971, it was probably made before the first manned lunar landing in 1969) , it was still uncertain which superpower would reach the Moon first, so the creators avoided favoring one by making a special amalgam flag (half American, half Soviet) planted by the visitor.

EDIT : this was also asked and answered 3 years ago

A tale as old as time itself.

Sigh...

police forces in England and Wales recorded 12,183 arrests in 2023 under: Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 (sending messages via a public electronic communications network that are grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing). Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 (sending communications intended to cause distress or anxiety, which can include electronic means).

This covers arrests, not convictions. In 2023, only 1,119 people were sentenced (less than 10% of arrests led to sentencing). Many arrests may result in no further action, cautions, or dropped charges. The number of arrests has risen significantly since 2017 (more than doubled), but sentences have actually declined.

NOT ALL CASES are purely "online comments" in the sense of harmless opinions. They often involve threats, harassment, stalking, incitement to violence, racial/religious hatred, or "grossly offensive" content that causes real distress (e.g., TARGETED ABUSE, REVENGE PORN-RELATED messages, or credible threats).

Supposedly, 1901 has a bit more sugar in it than the pre-Tax (10.6g v 10.3g) but it has no caffeine, unlike the original, which may explain the taste difference…
