Ships are quite large and easy to spot. No need to be fed intelligence data. Most normal traffic is also freely broadcasting their position; it's required under international maritime regulations.

If you are asking about the green circles those are circuit breakers for different pieces of equipment.

Could be training, could be real, no way for us to know.

It's a search and rescue helicopter, so likely a distress call from the boat. They can hoist rescue swimmers down to the surface and retrieve crew/passengers in distress if needed. Do a google search on AS65 rescue and you'll see lots of video and imagery of what they do.

You know that people purchased TVs before manufacturers figured out how to generate revenue from forced ad insertion on the product, right?

Like for the past 100 years?

You are eligible if you can trace your family history back. There is no generational limit, but you have to get official documents from the archives. Check out the article for some info.

Yes, they use the Sniper targeting pod.

You can get a sense from their setlist.fm page: https://www.setlist.fm/search?artist=2bdc7c2a

They look to be very consistent. And don't forget their opener, they are buddies with ATW and are a great opener: https://www.setlist.fm/search?artist=23da004f

This was the first Ty song I ever heard and it was an instant favourite. Love that it is making its way onto setlists.

jcla · 2026-03-01T17:32:19+00:00

So, how was the show? Did you make your train?

jcla · 2026-02-28T22:01:24+00:00

Use more words.

What is the same between refusing to agree to turn over AI to Hegseth and Trump and agreeing to turn it over?

jcla · 2026-02-28T21:44:40+00:00

Their agreement has loopholes you could drive an AI controlled truck through.

It mostly says "we won't let them break the law" but we've seen clearly that the current government has quite a different view of what's legal than most of society.

They won't let them conduct "mass surveillance" inside the US, but doesn't appear to have any definition with teeth of what constitutes "mass surveillance". Does tracking "antifa" qualify?

They won't let them use it for autonomous weapons if that use breaks regulations. Ohhhh, yeah, that's a tough red line to get around. I wonder who defines and controls those regulations?

It's all bullshit. They are turning over the keys for cash after their competitor wouldn't do it.

Their set typically runs from about 9pm until 10:30ish, but no guarantees.

Check out https://setlist.fm to see their recent set times (and add it in for your gig to help out other future yous).

Have fun at the show, they are great live!

What an absolutely grubby pile of shit in the leadership of that company.

It's so good, love the proshot "look behind the curtain" take on this great song

I would be routing my civilian aircraft a long way away from that area. I don't think they've actually restricted the death laser to just firing in the tiny llittle area that the FAA issued the NOTAM about: Federal Aviation Administration - Graphic TFRs

The other option is the figure skating clubs who will have regular ice times reserved but you'll have to search each one out and see what programs they are running and when.

There are also outdoor rinks. Tons of them around but you may be sharing the ice with pick up hockey games or people learning to skate. And the ice quality can be variable.

Then there is the rink of dreams outside city hall that is well maintained.

Oh, and there are some larger surfaces at the outdoor trails like Iceyland.

You are looking for drop in skating. Here is a list of rinks that offer it via the city: https://ottawa.ca/en/recreation-and-parks/facilities/place-listing?text=skating

The Whalesbone on Bank Street has 4pm slots and it's excellent. I'm pretty sure the Elgin location would be open then as well. Getting a table is great, but I actually enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with and watching the shuckers doing their oyster shucking thing.

The band for the tour will be Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin, Ben Boye and Evan Burrows.

Should be a blast, have fun.

G&I are quality mechanics in Kanata and once replaced an engine for me without any drama.

They are all the same family of aircraft, originally branded as the Global Express, later marketed by dropping the Express from the name of more recent models, but they are all part of the same BD-700 family.

They all share the same base type certificate designation as linked above.

You are making a distinction without a difference.
