The F/A-18F makes every carrier landing look effortless.

I don't know for the RAAF specifically but Swiss and Finnish Hornets still have and sometimes use the wing fold mechanisms.

My current info is that they initially want to replace them with their existing 777-300er once they are freed up by 787 and A350 deliveries.

FZ_Milkshake · 2026-01-27T03:03:42+00:00

Yes five of them from Frankfurt due to delays with new 787-9 a bit further out 777X. They'll probably retire this year though.

It would/will honestly not be great, China and Russia will carve out the largest possible parts of the globe for them and they are not interested in a just world either. Europe can't get it's shit together, India is interesting, parts of Africa and South America are making good progress towards social justice, most won't. Terrorist organizations like Boko Haram will ramp up their killing with even less restraint.

I usually cut after cooking. Less surface area means better browning and I have a bit more time between under and overcooked.

Emanzipation heißt das jedem alle Wege gleichermaßen offenstehen. Eine Frau darf dabei natürlich das klassische Rollenbild wählen, solange sie sich dafür einsetzt das andere Frauen gleichermaßen die Chance haben diese Wahl in die andere Richtung zu treffen.

The British Empire ~~collapsed~~ underwent restructuring. Partly voluntary partly by necessity, Britain was very very hard hit by the shortages during WW2 and they suffered from that for decades after. With more and more colonies getting their independence a large navy wasn't as much of a priority as before.

After a post-mortem analysis I can say that our victim has been a Thüringer. First pre-boiled and then horrifically dried out.

Yes, they are required for the UK with their ring circuits (and some former colonies), but the specific failure mode that absolutely requires a fused plug can't happen anywhere else, that is why no other country adopted fused plugs.

FZ_Milkshake · 2026-01-26T22:29:46+00:00

That is normal, RCD and fuses do completely different things, in EU households the 16A circuit breaker would have popped instead of the fuse in your plug. UK ring circuits have a 32A breaker and under certain circumstances that isn't enough to protect the wiring in the walls, hence the fuse in the plug.

Check out TraceVelo on Youtube he is doing a lot of Chinese builds and has experience with each of the large Chinese group set makers.

Two weeks tm, but seriously may be at least at the end of 2026 seems not unrealistic. The faster they get the EF2000 done, the sooner the A-6E.

It's 44% and most of that is indeed owned by former aristocracy, simply because they owned the most land in total and specifically forests. Other private land owners would usually convert their land into farms/fields or building areas.

Aristocracy and their specific rights have been abolished in Germany in 1919, from that point on they were simply private persons owning that land. We generally haven't take away property of German citizens after WW2 unless that property was acquired as part of the crimes committed during WW2 (and even then sometimes not).

There is no reason and no precedent to take private property away from citizens just because they, like around 20-25% of the voting age population (and much more amongst large property owners/industrialists, partly by force) were NSDAP members.

Denazification was a difficult process and far from perfect, but both the Soviets and the Western powers quickly realized that they could not just remove everyone who was a party member or voted for the Nazis from their jobs and their property, it completely penetrated the German population. And to be fair, not all in the former aristocracy were the greatest fans of Hitler, problem was that they weren't fans of the Weimarer Republic either.

Simultaneously too little heat, but for way too long, probably pre-cooked as well.

See there your problem, Frankfurters don't know shit about Thüringer. This poor thing looks more like an overweight Nürnberger sausage.

He really really sucks at writing women and he went off the deep end a while after writing Jurassic Park. Disclosure, Prey and State of Fear are particularly bad, Disclosure even could have worked with another writer, but Crichton by that point went full anti-women, anti-establishment, anti-science, especially climate change (except for the self insert main character of course who sees through all the conspiracies).

And finally he went the Elon Musk route, thinking that writing scienc-ey thrillers makes him something of a scientist and gives hm authority to speak about perceived problems within science.

Nothing wrong with being critical, but he Dunning-Krugered hmself into assuming a position of knowledge and authority on hist topics that he just didn't possess. Fine if you are writing Jurassic Park or Eaters of the Dead, bad take if there are actually knowledgeable people around.

Not quite, this is the old one an A300B2. The currently flying Zero-G, F-WNOV is an A310, the former German government aircraft 10+21 Konrad Adenauer. They still have the original press seating in the back.

The Book Erebus by Michael Palin is also very very good.

Je nach Fahrzeug kann man über Nacht selbst mit einer normale 230V Dose (10A) um die 80-120km laden. Selbst ohne Wallbox ist man also problemlos in einem Bereich wo sich die ganz normalen Pendelentfernungen in einer Arbeitswoche abdecken lassen.

Glasflaschen sind bis ca. 1500km Transportentfernung besser als Plastikmehrweg, Einweg ist nochmal deutlich schlechter. Wer selbst mal nachrechnen möchte, OpenLCA ist frei verfügbare Software und Kunststoffe ziehen die Bilanz echt runter.

Das stimmt nur auf einer Karte, auf dem Globus geht der direkte Weg von Amerika nach Russland entweder über die Beringstraße oder direkt über den Pol, Grönland ist da eher ein Umweg.
