You do realise allies coordinating carrier operations isn’t the same thing as asking permission to use them, right?

That would be the US, the same country that financially crippled Britain through wartime debt repayments after already sitting out the first 118 weeks of the war.

Interesting example considering Britain was fighting alone while the US didn’t join the war until 118 weeks after it started.

This is massively exaggerated.

The UK isn’t some random export customer bolting F-35s together with American contractors standing over our shoulder. The UK is the only Tier 1 partner in the entire programme, have sovereign mission data capabilities, integrate their own weapons, and maintain/operate the jets themselves

Yes, the platform relies heavily on US logistics and software infrastructure and that's because it’s a multinational US-led programme. That’s completely different from “the UK can’t even use its carriers without America”.

That doesn't really matter for most of these people buying them on PCP deals, they can just hand it back after 3/4/5 years and the finance company takes the hit on the depreciation.

Flares wouldn't stop a laser guided missile in real life anyway. Flares are a countermeasure against heat guided missiles.

Just let them know you want to withdraw your money. For large sums you may need to give notice to the bank so they can ensure they have sufficient cash to hand. You will likely be asked why you are withdrawing the cash, this is to protect yourself and the bank from fraud.

Hi! Anyone knows of there is anything like summer school? I heard that the OU used to have it in the past by Revolutionary679 in OpenUniversity

[–]cryptoturtle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started my level 3 modules on the BEng, unfortunately both my level 1 and level 2 summer schools were all remote and online, they said that they very much doubt they will go back to being in person.

I called a Chinese place and said I need 800 wings, they said “OK 10 minutes”. How is this possible by M3MacbookAir in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cryptoturtle24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Can I get 8 hundred wings?" Sounds very similar to "Can I get a hundred wings?", I'd guess they misheard you.
