@vcdgf555 Rabid Islamists in Iran ✔️ Rabin Evangelical Christian Zionists in the USA ✔️ Cut from the same cloth One has 'martyrs' The other has 'God bless the fallen' 🤨

2400 Marines were killed or wounded on the first day on Iwo Jima.

@azillion_737 The E-7A is not a term recognised by the FAA. Nor it is a valid designation for a future RAF aircraft, which is Wedgetail AEW Mk.1

A Boeing E-7A Wedgetail taxiing to runway 33 at BGR.

@azillion_737 A green bird for the RAF heading to the mod facility in the UK maybe ? In airworthiness terms, it's a 737-700 NG likely operating on a special flight permit as it's neither a 'by-the-book' -700 nor can it be covered by a UK military type certificate yet

@alpacasw @MrEwanMorrison Can you buy weekly groceries with an equity package ?

@a30aew @MrEwanMorrison With equity packages incredibly common.

@TMFScottP You know what AI should render defunct ? The vapid property reporters/writers at most major media outlets. I'm tired of the stuff I see headlined in the former Fairfax papers. It's more worthy of 'The Women's Weekly' or 'TV Week'😂

For the love of God. This is *not* a story.

Well, ONP with 1 seat and 3 more where they appear a chance with ~70% of the vote counted. Incumbents collected another 2 seats given them 32

Certainly done & dusted with 13 seats in doubt in the South #Australian #election and #ALP smashing it with 30 #seats & #LP a miserly 4 seats. #ONP with over 20% of the vote counted have nothing to show for it, however. An epic #fail by any measure.

@MikeCarlton01 Hi Mike, Had the opportunity to spend a week on FFG HMAS Newcastle in the early 2000s in the Tasman for a work assignment. Night 1 was a seriously hairy one. I echo the sentiments you express regarding our young mariners as I was left with a very similar view #RAN #FFG #Tasman

Spent two days at sea in the destroyer HMAS BRISBANE, for the Navy’s 125th anniversary fleet review. It was an honour, a privilege and a pleasure to be welcomed in such a magnificent ship with a magnificent crew of fine young Australians.

@AlexLuck9 What, no RATO-assist ? 🤔

The dolphins are preparing for departure. That's a warning sign. They'll leave a note though.

@Keg767 @analyticflying As I have seen also. Not first hand fortunately.

@a30aew @analyticflying Snakes in Victorville is no joke! They love hiding up in the wheel hubs and close by!

Qantas A380 VH-OQC operated QF11 yesterday after being AOG for 24 days with a skin corrosion problem. She was AOG for 39 days in Dec/Jan with slat delamination & wing structure problem. She only returned from storage & heavy maintenance on 7 Dec. Did somewhat say hangar queen?

@Aviation_Intel Why wouldn't the USAF or affiliated security services materially evaluate any potential vulnerabilities by employing emerging tech in controlled conditions ? Why not do it before the 'bad guys' do ? Makes sense, no ? What's that ? There's someone from Creech AFB on the line ? 😬

I have spent a good part of my career just getting people to believe this was actually happening. Now we are here. With 15 drones, you can lose roughly 1/4 of the B-52 force as it sits idle on the ground. This was always the most concerning scenario. Time to move to hardening. Just a matter of time now till we learn the hard way.

@PeterWMurphy1 I'm beyond tolerance for this cohort of men especially those who are violent narcissists & control freaks who never own their own shortcomings. I honestly wonder what his poor mother would think of him and what she may have suffered as a young wife and mother🫤

Antony Catalano charged with assault & false imprisonment. The court has been told he'd suffered "recent mental health issues". I am SICK TO DEATH of men's #sexism #misogyny #VAW and controlling abusive behaviour being excused due to "mental health issues". #auslaw

@PeterWMurphy1 Here's my 'tribute' to this creature of a human pretending to be a 'man' and to all his ilk delivered in a manner antithetical to his/their typical 'delivery': Saint Etienne - Who Do You Think You Are youtube.com/watch?v=Xxqka4…

Not 'curing cancer stuff', but an extraordinarily useful productivity aid for anyone, especially people without the appropriate skills and those who face challenges in interacting with technology.

Also in an interesting experiment, last night I asked #ChatGPT to produce something like this. Explicit prompting produces a surprisingly useful result, with an offering to save it to a pdf file for printing. chatgpt.com/share/69be3717…

Tell me that the vertical lines are not sloping to the right #vision #opticalillusion #scalemodel

@analyticflying From a QF webinar lecture to the RAeS in November 2024:

@a30aew She was in Victorville for less than a year. Most of her storage was at Abu Dhabi. There was a reason she was left till last ...

@analyticflying I had a table somewhere from a lecture. Do you remember the reason she remained in AD ? Was she due for a major servicing ?

@MichaelS_SAA @EwenLevick I'd suspect a submarine patrolling the Straits of Hormuz would be potentially more vulnerable from surface vessels than most people think.

Sea lanes, straits & subs: How many nuclear subs to open Hormuz? Can 8 AUKUS subs protect Australia's extended sea lanes in 2056, given America's 53 or so can't open Hormuz in 2026? Time to end magical thinking.@EwenLevick strategicanalysis.org/sea-lanes-stra…
