Waxwings at Butterrow Hill. Caught these drinking a puddle. I was watching them & where they prefer to drink, once they left the puddle I set up my camera and within minutes they came in for another drink, amazing to be able to film them up close @BBCSpringwatch @GlosterBirder

@LangmanVince Looks better how? No stars in the one 50 years ago and the new one has zodiacal light

The one on the left was from Apollo 17 in 1972. The one on the right is from Artemis II in 2026. How is it possible that the one taken over 50 years ago looks better?

@rawsalerts It’s an Iran missile

@Afri_hubb @sentdefender Prob Israel again like the strike on the US base south of India

@sentdefender Looks like the initial reports of destroyed tankers were overstated,US officials confirm damage, not destruction, and the aircraft are already being repaired. Still a significant escalation if Iran was behind it, but not the knockout blow early headlines suggested.

Satellite imagery appears to confirm a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker has been destroyed and several others possibly damaged, as a result of an Iranian attack earlier today, utilizing ballistic missiles and drones, against Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Image credit: @tom_bike

@grok @elsmartxx @sentdefender @MuhammadAr94612 Is it also true RS - Ramstein full of injured US soldiers?

No, not confirmed. Iranian/OSINT claims of a new strike today destroying a KC-135 (with satellite imagery) lack verification from US, Saudi, or independent outlets like Reuters/WSJ. Mid-March strike damaged 5 tankers per US officials—none destroyed, all repairable. Circulating images unverified for today; info war ongoing.

@antmiddleton Hope you get enough votes because sadly Khans lot have the numbers

@MAVERIC68078049 Joys of more cars on the road driving slower. Ain’t killing flies at 20 mph. Some people are dumb

I am sure many of you have noticed this.

@TiffanyFong 13G

@KostHunter @theficouple Also model Y would be more fun

Personally drive 4 hours every day with a total of 180 miles being commuted Monday-Friday. I've had the same Tesla since 2023. Over 150,000 Miles and not repair needed. No Oil Changes, Timing Chains, or really anything needing to be replaced. A new battery is running roughly 20k. If your driving an EV long distance daily it's worth it. Once my battery goes out I made my money's worth by not paying it on gas and I'll happily replace the battery and go another 300k or more mjles.

When you bought the $50,000 Tesla Model Y to save on gas & maintenance. Then you learned: - It loses 20-35% of its value by year 3 - It loses 55-58% of its value by year 5 So by year 5 you lost $35,000+ of value? ....Congrats on saving ~$1,000/yr on gas.

@ksadras @theficouple $2000 maintenance??? How so? And you’ve not factored wet belts in your guessing prices chart 😂🤡

@grok @AgenticJonesy @theficouple Also forgot the expensive wet belts

Assuming 15k miles/year + home charging at US avg rates: Model Y: ~$750/yr electricity (28 kWh/100 mi, 18¢/kWh). Avg gas SUV (25 MPG): ~$2,350/yr at $3.91/gal. Fuel savings: ~$1,600/yr. Plus ~$500/yr less maintenance (no oil, fewer brakes/parts). Total: ~$2,100 annual savings vs typical gas SUV. Varies by your location, habits & exact model!

@InsuranceAF @theficouple Don’t forget the wet belt change compared to zero servicing 😂😂🤡 doing that every 30,000 miles will cost up to $2000 alone

And don't forget the cost of insurance either. A standard model SUV's insurance will cost you about $2,700/yr while a Model Y's insurance will cost on average $3,800/yr. You didn't save $1,000 on fuel. You just transferred the payment from Exxon to your insurance carrier while the car burned $35,000 of equity in your driveway.

@theficouple @TeslaTrackerUS Lose? Wait a minute how much is it to hire for 5 years? Or use only taxis? How do you get about?

@TeslaTrackerUS Yeah so the math is the math @TeslaTrackerUS Why would people happily lose $35,000?

@pfinanceblogs @theficouple Say what? And you blog about finance but make false claims? Right o. So Model 3 performance battery replacement $14,500 but the equivalent liquid fuel BMW M3 engine is $28,378 and warranty is 8 and 4 years respectively. Not so clever now 😂🤡

@theficouple The battery replacement is a killer. That has kept us out of the EV game so far.

@piersmorgan Hence flatten them

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

@grok @viveksinghsays @azania1023 Might be true but this video is fake

Yes, per CNN reporting and US Central Command: A US F-35 was on a combat mission over Iran when struck by suspected Iranian fire, forcing an emergency landing at a Middle East base. Pilot stable; under investigation. This marks the first reported Iranian hit on a US aircraft in the current conflict. IRGC claims a direct strike with significant damage. The attached video appears to show the jet's damaged state on the ground.

#Iran hit the 5th generation F-35 fighter of the #US Air Force An American F-35 fighter made an emergency landing at an air base in the Middle East after coming under Iranian fire, sources told CNN

@Heccles94 What So You are ok with Iranians being slaughtered in the streets?

Bombers leaving for Iran from England. We did not consent to this.

@Gabriele_Corno Ai trash

This man saw a swan desperately pounding at the ice covering my frozen pool...and then

@trai01hl @grok this is a fake video isn’t it. The safety line doesn’t even run parallel to the slide. Any attachment wouldn’t work.

OMG😳😱

@trai01hl Ai

@Keir_Starmer Lies. Didn’t join due to cut backs and not enough aircrews to mount a sustained attack. At least tell the truth, blame the tories but cut the BS

I will always make decisions in the national interest. That’s why we did not join the offensive action against Iran.    Reform and the Tories would’ve rushed us into war without a plan to get us out.
