That is not throwing anybody under the bus. The issue is so overblown, for political noise issues, mainly to influence voters, I guess.

It is an issue, like bathroom use, and I think they are not easy, but they are blips in the challenges trans people face, like Healthcare, etc.

Usual distractions.

Pastafarianism is going to grow.

There is got to be a way to glue some googly eyes here somewhere.

Germany, Italy, and Ireland are the countries exporting the most to the US. I imagine they are happy. That Ireland is the third, over France, must have something to do with their shameful fiscal paradise thing and tech companies, I guess.

FAA Advisory:

The report cited a 2018 FAA advisory that urged operators of Boeing models, including the 787, to inspect the locking mechanism on fuel cutoff switches to prevent unintentional movement. The preliminary report noted that Air India had not carried out these inspections as they were not mandatory.*

I did a tour as a conscript. I hated “losing” over a year of my life when I was drafted.

Looking back, I actually had fun, learned a lot about society, as we were from all walks of life and I came from a priviledged environment. Made great friends.

Got to play with a bunch of things that go bang and brrrrrr. (The MG is awesome!).

Learned to kill in a bunch of ways, being in a Scout unit. Thankfully I never deployed, so it all stayed theory.

Learned a lot about patience, discipline, survival within a dystopian bureaucracy, repressing the urge to frag, teamwork, esprit de corps, and much more.

I really think that despite all the shit that being in the military entails, it was definitely a net positive for me, especially because I never deployed.

“Hey, I perpetrated a genocide (over 58.000) on your people with the excuse of the kidnapping of a few dozen (also unjustifiable)”, and which has been proven to have been used as a false flag by Bibi. Please return these hostages.

Yeah. Good luck.
