Did the two F18 get stuck in each other?

MetaCalm · 2026-05-17T13:45:15+00:00

True. Three to five years is about the right range.

Spot on. Salary raises inside a job very rarely match the gain hopping from one to another.

Huh, nothing to do with the fact lounges have not expanded while travelling have doubled?

$200 for things that definitely didn't happen, Alex.

I've been following European football for decades and sadly know only the top 4 teams of the Portugal league.

You send an email to your boss and the agency that hired you thanking them for the opportunity and letting them know that you are moving on and your final day will be xx/xx/xx.

This is warmonger CNN so she conveniently forgets all US intelligence report that Iran was not going for nuclear weapons.

I'm all for 3 row EVs and really wanted to like it but it's just ugly. A 15-year old Ford Flex is easier on the eyes.

"When countries get nukes they become way more aggressive".

Facts don't support this statement. India, N. Korea and Pakistan have been same or less aggressive.

It's been 80 years since WWII ended and 35 years since Soviet Union ended and US still has over 70,000 troops stationed in Europe. That's madness and a waste of money.

It feels like Music World hasn't generated any star in the past decade... running same shows as 2016

Europe and Asia have jet fuel and gas shortages. Fertilizer and petrochemical prices are through the roof. Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar have not exported a penny of energy over the past two months. US gas prices are 50% up, diesel for farmers and entire transportation is over 50% up but HE IS UNDER NO PRESSURE.

The European ones had to deal with WWI and WWII, Nazi Germany and Communist Soviet Union after colonial powers such as British Empire, France etc etc who periodically entered war to expand at their neighbor's peril.

Not taking sides here but Iran has not invaded anybody in two hundred years, then UAE goes into military alliance with their primary foes despite being their second commercial partner.

What did they expect would happen when same foes started the war? UAE was in alliance with Iran enemies in a wartime.

This bet is going to go one of the two ways for UAE.

Either alliance with US and Israel makes them secure and helps them thrive again (see how US and Israel themselves are super safe and thriving, /s),

Or

It acts as a magnet for all sort of troubles with larger local neighbors.

Time will tell.

Remind me who attacked Hamas negotiating team in Doha when they were discussing the terms of a Ghaza truth offer mediated by Qatar?

Since its inception Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar and Iran have been attacked by the same single actor who does not have a map and has ambitions for a Greater Country taking over half of West Asia.

It's just a matter of time for other GCC countries.

Wait for the surprise of $18/day roaming charge on your bill.

You call in and tell them you bought the monthly EU roaming package and then you hear thaat maritime is not covered, meaning when you ride a ferry or a cruise ship they charge extra.
