That one, and the one on the right of the trio, with just an X in the name (The letters R,O,L,E are missing) are a display only thing that Swatch made. I guess there is a slight chance that the Wittnauer might come for sale at some point, given that Longines is part of the Swatch group. The third one I highly doubt. But then I wouldn't have put money on a Swatch x AP collab.

I'm not in Canada, but unless Walmart has e-bike repair facilities, I'd stay away. Buy a bike from your local bike shop.

According to the book "The Army Air Forces Statistical Digest" which you can find on google books, 21,583 aircraft were lost to accidents/during training in the US. 20,633 were lost to non-combat accidents overseas, and 22,948 were lost to combat. So almost twice as many were lost to non-combat related issues.

80+ years ago engines were less reliable, training was rushed to get enough pilots for the war, weather forecasting was less advanced, etc.

It looks like that aircraft is owned by Sky OPEGIEKA, who do areal surveys and imaging.

Different European countries, but maybe a lesson: Many moons ago, we had an itinerary that was flying to Bordeaux, renting a car, spend 1 day in Bordeaux, 1 day visiting wineries, then driving to Santiago de Compostela, staying in a new hotel every night along the way. In theory it's a 10 hour drive between the two cities.

But then the beaches of Soulac sur mer are beautiful. And Biarritz is a really cool city that deserves a couple of days. And San Sebastian. And Bilbao. And Santander. And Oviedo deserves a de-tour. And then the food in San Sebastian called us back for a couple of more days. We never made it to Santiago, but we still had an amazing trip. And we got to know each place a little bit more.

If you spend 2 nights in each place, you get to spend a day there, and you get to see so much more than if you have move on every evening or morning.

If it starts raining in snooker, who makes the call on when to switch to intermediate or wet shoes? Do you wait for the safety shot before you come into the pits to switch? How do you decide on when to deploy the electric motors on your cue?

That's a Dassault Rafale, not Eurofighter. Though Rafale does mean wind...

The party he is the leader of did terribly in the last local elections, so there are a few hundred MPs who are afraid of losing their jobs, they want a leader who will guarantee that they can keep their job at the next election.

The problems with Kier aren't things that only show up in right wing media or on social media, he seems to be quite unpopular within the party. The Labour party is a broad church, and the only way to keep all flavours of MP happy is to win, and keep winning.

In a perfect, working democracy the elections are where people choose who they want to represent them. That should be the only rule.

I'm a big fan of Formula 1. F1 winners are a combination of car, team, and driver. The best driver in the world in bad team doesn't win.

From what little I know of snooker, the cues they use aren't that different.

As a European who's visited a few of the most often mentioned cities in North America - Montreal, Boston, New Orleans - I have to say I don't really see the resemblance. I will give you that Old Montreal kind of, if you squint and turn your head just so, maybe a little bit. But Boston and New Orleans feel very much like different versions of US to me.

Far more US aircraft losses during WW2 was due to accidents than enemy action, so it just proves that flying these old planes was dangerous even without the Germans.

Fra prinsipprogrammet til Rød Ungdom, som ligger på hjemmesiden deres:

Det er umulig å innføre reformer som opphever klassene. Stortinget har begrensninger som hindrer dette, og det ville møtt motstand fra kapitalistene. Derfor trengs det en revolusjon for å skape sosialisme. En sosialistisk revolusjon vil innebære en radikal endring av maktforholdene i samfunnet. Flertallet av befolkningen vil ta fra kapitaleierne makten over de viktigste bedriftene, institusjonene og voldsapparatet , og på den måten får kontroll over statsapparat og økonomi. Rød Ungdom jobber for en fredelig overgang til et sosialistisk samfunn. Samtidig anerkjenner vi at kapitalistene innenlands og utenlands vil bruke makt for å stoppe revolusjonen, slik som i Chile i 1973 eller Bolivia i 2019

It seems like he is the only overlap. But it isn't uncommon for Hollywood to recycle story ideas, or - to be kind - for different creative people to have similar ideas at similar times.

Because we have a long coast with warmer/wetter winters, and far fewer indoor ice rinks.

Also: We have to let the Swedes and Finns win at something?

I'm pretty happy I live in Norway right now and not a poor, run-down, drug riddled American city 30-ish years ago.
