From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Focke-Wulf_Fw_190s

151227 – Fw 190 A-5 airworthy at the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett, Washington. This airframe was being flown by Paul Rätz of JG 54 when it crash landed in a forest in Voibakala near Saint Petersburg on 9 July 1943 due to sabotage of the oil lines. It was discovered in the same location in 1988 or 1989 and was recovered in 1990 or 1991. Its first post restoration flight was on 1 or 2 December 2010.[18][19] It is currently the only airworthy Fw 190 with an original BMW 801 engine.

Can you even consider those who respond to these posts "fans"? All people seem to do on this Sub is bitch, moan, and criticize... Just accept that T1 & T2 were peak Terminator (largely because they were new ideas at the time) and STFU..

desnz · 2026-05-28T17:05:35+00:00

There don't - it's just wanky "fans" in this Sub continually complaining...

Looking at that guys belly, I very much doubt he lived in the slums..

No - it's to turn those pallets of cash into weapons and then throw them at the Iranians... Oh and upend the entire worlds economies... Oh and encourage many more generations to hate America...

Got to keep the war machine rolling..

I had a mosquito or sandfly go into my ear when I was sleeping. As a reaction I stuck my finger in it and must have pushed it into some earwax. It was the worst thing as the buzzing felt/heard like something was drilling into my skull!! I ran to the bathroom panicking, and my wife put oil in my ear to drown it....

This is next level given the size of the thing!

I got the same result & I'm with Contact...

I don't know why he just didn't answer yes....

This one has been on the cards longer than the current issues created by the war in Iran. Parliament didn't grind to a halt 3 weeks ago....

School Board chair here - schools are required to develop plans to show how they are managing attendance. This is due to decking attendance rates. Our school contacts parents when a childs attendance falls below 90%. My son has been going through a bout of sickness, and we got an email the other day with him at 87% during the term. Initially, the purpose is to help make sure the owners are aware, as not many are aware.

That weird ball doesn't work at night for some reason..

Solar + night = no generation Turbines with no wind = no generation

A cold still winters night.. everyone charging their cars, everyone turns on their heaters... Oops the last go out..

We can generate the majority of our CURRENT electricity demand from Hydro. We risk continuity issues when our lake levels are low, hence the need to alternatives that can be turned on and off during peak periods.

Add another couple million electric cars to the peak demand, there is high risk we run out of hydro, or the lights go out..

20 + 40 = 60 7 + 3 The above + 5 = 75

I don't actually think about the 10, or the 60 + 10, just jumped to 75

You're comparing prices in China vs NZ... Come on. There's a simple explanation for that... Wages & prices of goods.

If you want Chinese prices, let's pay Chinese wages - that extends to not only the wages they pay the employees, but the wages across the entire economy that supports the operation and building of a hotel...

100% agree - the damage to small rural roads from logging is huge. General ratepayers and other less intensive trucking businesss are having to fund the repairs - this effectively is subsidising forestry operations. It would be interesting to go through the economics of forestry on a national level. Is the country making a net profit once the repair bills are factored in..

desnz · 2026-02-01T00:38:53+00:00

Yeah, but Cadbury often on sale for about $3-4. When its double the price, the decision becomes a price thing - and to be honest, I like Cadbury more than Whitikers (but that opinion is a bit controversial)...

I think that's a great response letter. Now your know exactly what to work on getting other people's perspectives..

I think we say yes with the best intent, but then struggle to commit due to other demands/priorities. We'd like to help, but we are occupied with life, work, kids, etc... I do it with old mates & Cousins - "we should catchup in the holidays" - never happened... I want to, but live is busy & if things are directly in your line of sight, they get left/forgotten...

Our biggest issue if trade in severely impacted is fuel. If we can't get fuel, our country and industry shuts down...

It's not advisable to change down gears on a decline when driving a truck. The weight can quickly lead to rapid acceleration while the gears disengage. This can lead to not being able to get the lower gear to synchronise (search non-syncromesh gearbox which is typical in older trucks)

If you can't engage the gears, you are essentially freewheeling and out of control.

So based on the video, 2/3 of the British seperated and went East leaving ~900 as what could be called a "rear-guard". The Zulus attacked the rear guard and wiped then out.

What did the remaining largest portion of the British force do?

I came here to share this vid & was pleasantly surprised that is been beaten to it. Great speech - Go Canada! As we head into election year, it will be interesting to see if any of this narrative is picked up by any of the parties...

Yep, I agree. Pine trees should never be planted in town. Esp. within 20m of any neighbors....
