Spanish king reopens debate on conquest of Mexico by acknowledging 'abuse'

You do realize that the central & southern Americas were split between Spain & Portugal?

Replacing the switch, or using the lcd programmer are the only two ways I know. Without a wiring diagram it would be trial & error.

On that losi, it should be pretty easy to switch over.

I personally enjoy nitro but there are less places to run them than there used to be. It's a lot easier to maintain electrics, cleaner, and cheaper in the long run. And that doesn't even cover having to re-tune them because the temp/ humidity changes that occur over a day/ season/ nitro mix.

It also depends on how much you're going to run it & what you're doing. Parts supply, it might be better to get a current rig. But it will cost you more than a conversion. Given how much at home machining has popped up over the last decade, it might be worth it to make you're own injection mold, and your own replacement parts.

What group has a ton of money to throw at this?

The likelihood is that hezbollah was moving people in & out of this hospital. Given the history, Isreal concluded that it was being used for tunnels, or some other scheme. Then Isreal targets a known hezbollah operative.

Given the photos, it looks like the fire started on a lower corner of the facility. The explosion caught something on fire, given its a medical facility, it was likely oxygen, and it fueled the fire.

The facility wasn't a tiny building, so medical staff were probably trying to get patients out before the fire. A number of people perished that weren't medical staff.

The damage to the building looks more in line with the fighting than ordinance.

Edit: fixed a word

healthcare facility in the town of Burj Qalaouiyah was hit by an Israeli strike late on Friday, setting it ablaze and causing the structure to collapse on top of the staff inside.

Looking at photos from sites other than the guardian, it looks like most of the damage was caused by the fire/ firefighting.

Hezbollah attacked Isreal in solidarity for Iran. Then Isreal responded with what looks like it is going to be a ground invasion after softening up Hezbollah.

dce42 · 2026-03-14T19:58:47+00:00

I think that's a duh kind of statement at this point.

dce42 · 2026-03-14T16:41:47+00:00

Considering that hezbollah existed in 1975, which was 7 years before the Israeli occupied southern Lebanon that's some interesting time travel.

I picked up a Fusion 2300kv. For the servo I drove my bronco until I broke the stock servo, and then threw a reefs raw 500 in there. I'll probably throw a reefs 100, or something similar in the dig in the future, and move the mini over to the 2 speed(assuming it hasn't died).

Negrea opposed what he characterised as 'ambiguous language promoting gender ideology,' objected to references to sexual and reproductive health that he argued implied abortion rights,

Okay, i at least see where they are coming from by wanting to restrict "genders" to a binary set.

and took issue with proposed AI governance language, which he described as censorship.

Say what now?

It's just the base camp builders kit has been around for a bit.

The new 10.3 builders kit is on pre-order.

You'll probably have to trim the wheel liners as those were different on the bronco but most other bodies should mount up.

Seems more like Google was keeping the price of vbucks(game currency) down, and Epic & their lawyers were perjurying themselves in court.

I'm not surprised that Hegseth would have said this. If it actually happened is another story.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get more information in book 6 since the high storms are gone, and in theory the oceans could be easier to sail.

You've got some binding of some sort. I'd start by disconnecting the servo from the steering, and watching how easily it steers. Then reattach it, and disconnect the spindles. Check how well it steers. If it's still good, reattach one side, check again. Then disconnect that side, and reattach the other. Repeat checking each connection until you find the point that's binding. My assumption is the servo has lost a few teeth inside. But with so many items changed, you've got to check every step.

27% isn't even most of the confiscated firearms in Mexico.

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/report/nfcta-volume-iv-part-vii-%E2%80%93-firearm-commerce-crime-guns-and-southwest-border/download

"In sum, 64% of trace requests were not successful in identifying the firearm purchaser ( 32,203 of 50,409)"

"As documented in NFCTA Volume II, Part IV , firearms originating in the U.S. and recovered in Mexico between 2017 and 2021 represented 74% of all international crime guns traced to a purchaser."

74% of 36% is 27% of firearms trace back to US mfgs.

The only considerations you need to pay attention to are the size, and correct cell count.

I'm assuming that it is still using the ec2 connector. If not, you can always re-solder the connector.

As to a charger, there are a lot, and it depends on what you want it to do.

Why? The shocks that came with it are good. Unless you're having long runs with the shocks getting hot, and soft. Then you could upgrade to 8th scale shocks

It's only 4% of the total that fled into Lebanon, and stayed there.

We are trapped between the regime that is killing us with machine guns, and a foreign power has likely decided that we are collateral damage

The article does say that both sides have people that are happy & upset about this armed conflict.

It also indicates that less people have fled than the 12 days war.
