Cost per hr:
Gripen - $5,800
F35 - $35,000.
Lets say 1000hrs per year per plane.
Gripen - $5,800,000
F35 - $35,000,000
72 planes
Gripen - $417,600,000
F35 - $2,520,000,000
Gripen savings - $2,102,400,000 per year.
That's $2.1 billion per year saved.

Left: bar plot of the date of "ice over" in the Beaufort Sea 1979 to 2025. Ice over defined as the first date in the autumn when less than five percent of the basin (as defined by NSIDC) is open water. Right: NWS Alaska region sea ice concentration analysis on November 11, 2025.

The Beaufort Sea (north of Alaska, northwest Canada) has iced over, with less than five percent of the basin remaining as open water as of November 11. Compare that to the 1980s and 90s, when it wasn't uncommon for "ice over" to happen in September. Data courtesy NSIDC. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Found this very nice vintage Norco frame (3-butted) in condo garbage. Too big for me so built for my dad. First time building from a frame up (though it did have cranks already). Drilled out frame to put lugged brakes, and 1x10 drivetrain w 11x42 cassette. What do ya think? #cycling

Sounds much different, pretty flat for these ones. My cover photo is the same features from the ground, just a little rim of vegetation ca. 5-10cm high ๐Ÿ‘

A little zoom, enhance on some cool Permafrost landforms (nets) on Devon Island from Mavic 3E imagery. The borders of the polygons are wetter and so stuff grows there making them pop in the photos.

I used to be in favour of Lansdowne 2.0. I've changed my mind I used to be in favour of the Lansdowne 2.0 development. I changed my mind because I donโ€™t trust this deal. | Opinion

If the suburban councillors continue down the Landsdowne path, we know they are completely compromised in terms of representing interests of taxpayers of this city. We need to de-amalgamate yesterday. thehttps://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/lansdowne-2-0-changed-my-vote

The dashed lines are probed thaw depths in late September and approximate the permafrost table. The surface was surveyed with differential GPS.

The disturbance from wild ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ changes the surface energy balance and leads to permafrost thaw. Here is some real data visualised of one year of thawing and subsidence from a peatland site near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, burned in the 2023 fires. Lateral thaw > top down
