I wonder whether they'll swap out the GE licensed engine for a Rolls Royce ITAR-free model. There have been rumours for a few years now, and an order of this magnitude would easily justify it.

None of them qualified for that.

TBH, I get the impression that people generally feel the elderly fall into the deserving category β€” versus other categories that are undeserving/scroungers/etc.

None of my older relatives understood that state pension is an unfunded benefit. They thought the money they paid in while working was invested and they're drawing it out.

Hah, that was directly paying for the pensioners alive back then.

The drunk driver who killed this youngster while speeding was only given a 10 year + 2 month driving ban.

That is obscene.

If there were ever a case for a lifetime driving ban, it is exactly this kind of situation.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Original Soundtrack) Lorien Testard Β· Album Β· 2025 Β· 154 songs

"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" likely has the best music of any video game ever made.

I highly recommend listening to it, even if you aren't interested in games.

I haven't played it, but have been listening in the background. It's a masterpiece in its own right.

Sometimes YouTube recommends some real gems. Warpigs in Amharic with a jazz metal band.

Singer has a great voice.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Francis Chang-Sam.

Francis was a stalwart of the legal community in Seychelles, and moreover, a lovely man.

Noisy starling in my garden. Was oscillating between raiding my bird feeder and loudly begging for food.

Very interesting documentary about the metro in Thessaloniki β€” delayed in large part due to the rich history buried underneath the city.

Eddie Jordan: Former Formula 1 boss dies aged 76 Former Formula 1 boss and television pundit Eddie Jordan dies at the age of 76.

This is really sad. When I was at university I used to watch the F1 sometimes with one of my housemates.

Eddie Jordan was a legend, and his iconic voice and ceaseless energy were a mainstay of the commentary.

Thank goodness. It has been total chaos.

That said: the writing is on the wall for Europe-US military-industrial cooperation.

We need to ensure Europe can fully defend itself and back Ukraine entirely autonomously of USA.

I have to admit, the French were correct.

I just drank about 1/3 (or more) a super strong 500ml energy drink; I think someone's gonna need to scrape me off the ceiling in a few minutes.

How the hell do people drink these on a daily basis!
