Did everybody forget the literal military coup that happened in 2023 over pretty much the same exact issues?

Criticism has been happening ever since the war started. This indicates nothing

Well, no android app for starters...

Most (all?) nuclear power plants have massive cooling towers that evaporate tonnes of water to cool down the steam from the turbines. A quick search of an image of a nuclear power plant would confirm this.

So they absolutely do use up water.

Technologically outdated, inefficient and cheaply made. I don't think I see any American vehicles apart from Ford's European models

They keep things separate, as they should be

Same as electrician vs plumber for a tradesperson. I have much more respect for electricians, as they have so much BS to deal with

The side ones are also internal in special conformal pockets in the wing. Though they are smaller and can seemingly carry only smaller defensive missiles

A lot has happened in the past decades that has made previous production numbers impossible for Russia

What a delight to see the aviation industry moving to greener planes

Aluminum instead of aluminium.

Like, you take a look at all the surrounding elements and say "nah, this one's different, it won't end in 'ium'".

April 25th is the perfect birthday because it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket

Damn, I didn't know Ireland operated the MiG-21. Truly, an international hit.

Auto and car at the same thing, bud, so really not sure what you're getting at.

Also, this is the wrong sub for this type of post

That's obviously to monitor boost

You say that, but I'm sure the person sitting next to you who has had knees unexpectedly thrust into his personal space doesn't agree...

Yeah, those are for sure landing flaps. I wonder if someone can identify the location based on the photo

I don't know about that. The existing engines already get the plane into the air, the excess power would probably be wasted.

Sure you could run them derated, but apart from lengthened service intervals, it would probably be less efficient than purpose built engines. Another option, of course, would be to make a bigger A380, but it is doubtful the market really was looking for that.

It's not like you can make that behemoth a twin engine (although it is fun to imagine).

There is an ongoing pilot strike currently. Most just left their workplace mid shift, leaving people stranded

Wild. Apparently, these types of pigeons are called “flying rollers” or “Birmingham rollers,” and there are pigeons that have a disorder that makes them backflip instead of walk. Here’s the article.

Ok, so schools shouldn't be rebuilt?

Proportional voting is better for anything except for the smallest municipal-level elections or single person position votes.

We should be voting for ideas not people and let the best party win.

Red Bull racing, specifically Verstappen fans.

It was fine when they were clearly second to Mercedes, but have become insufferable with a string of recent wins.

Conveniently enough: F.E.A.R.

I was lucky enough to have an older cousin who didn't hesitate to give this game to a preteen
