@Defiantclient2 That was an interesting thing to hear about in the stream. Do you know Kevin, will the casings weigh differently depending on their place in the stack? Presumably the top one, for instance, doesn't need this weight reinforcement.

$ASTS: This is why the composite casings took so long to finalize. It's hard fucking work. 👇 "During launch, the BlueBirds must withstand extraordinary forces up to 6 times Earth's gravity. This creates a MASSIVE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE as with the stacked design, the bottom satellite must now support its own weight plus the ones above it, multiplied by 6Gs. To address this, our teams have developed incredibly strong carbon fiber structures that enable us to stack up to 8 satellites at once. That means each satellite can support about the weight of a fully loaded Boeing 777 at takeoff, or nearly the weight of the Statue of Liberty minus its pedestal. That's a strong satellite." - @Emma_Jorna

@btharris93 @TheGhostSleepi1 Because modernising is simply a proxy for disappearing. They want to see the monarchy disappear into uselessness like the Dutch monarchy, to the point where it wouldn't be noticed if it was dissolved.

@_derek_rivera_ @RealCynicalFox My point is that if you put a sniper in a tower, the chaos of battle may effectively camouflage him. You put a machine gun right next to him, and you're putting a big target right next to the sniper flashing at 500 rpm. The MG is the real problem.

@Milnerite @RealCynicalFox It worked phenomenally until it didn’t. They wouldn’t have had the intel on the tanks if he wasn’t in the tower. There was no quick way down the tower either way.

Still not over Capt. Miller, who supposedly had as much combat experience as a US company grade officer possibly could have by that point in the war, putting two of his force multipliers in one of the most obvious places possible. Which isn't even the most egregious part of the final battle scene in this movie.

It’s been over 25 years and I’m still not over Pvt. Jackson not making it out of the bell tower. 😭

@_derek_rivera_ @RealCynicalFox A sniper is one thing. In the heat of battle, one may get away with being in a bell tower without drawing attention from enemy armour. But a sniper plus a machine gun in such a location is just asking for trouble.

@RealCynicalFox Where else would you put a sniper? Sure he shouldn’t have been there long but there would have been no other place.

@_HenryBolton I agree with @ClarkeMicah (Peter Hitchens) on this. We should form a new police force of Peelers in parallel. Strict physical and character selection criteria. Build it up to strength and then abolish the current police 'service'.

Re. the Henry Nowak case… We must look beyond the attitude and actions of the police officers involved - atrocious though they were - and ask ourselves how that attitude and those actions came about. That takes us to the recruitment and selection, training, leadership and politicisation of police, and the imposition of guidelines and procedures, which have replaced common sense and discretion with template responses, often driven by political rather than operational concerns. Policing has been broken. Blair started it, but the real damage was done under Cameron and May. However, blame is not where we should focus. The task is to rebuild the British police force. The mission is to Restore policing.

@AlexfromBabylon It clearly is ambitious, but whether it's realistic is the real question.

$ASTS Are these the same sources that predicted after the previous anomoly Blue Origin would be out until end of 2026? Limp himself saidd they secured the longest lead items and Jeff is one of the richest men in the world. I am sure he can offer attractive salaries or rewards to find those specialized folks.🤣 “Some of these materials require fairly long lead times, and it’s not clear that the company has the personnel needed—particularly the touch-labor technicians, welders, and others who build this specialized launch hardware. Historically, Blue Origin has not operated in such a rushed manner, either.” “Multiple sources said a more realistic timeline for Blue Origin to rebuild its pad and launch from there is 12 to 18 months. If this were to occur, it would significantly set back NASA and its Artemis Program, which is relying on the New Glenn rocket and Blue Moon lander for both cargo and eventually crewed missions to the lunar surface.”

@Chartradamus Could that 'heel turn' have already have occurred, given yesterday's decline below $102 and subsequent close just below $106? Thanks for your posts.

$ASTS 🎯 Pullback Predicted Minor Wave 3 (of PW1) = $185+ 🟢 “Today, the stock re-tested ATHs at ~$130. Off this level, I am expecting Subwave 5 of Minor Wave 1 to be completed, forcing a pullback via Minor Wave 2 to the retracement targets depicted in Chart 2. This will force a cup-and-handle pattern through a re-test of the Volume POC + Base Breakout. Afterwards, a move towards $170+ would be enforced through Minor Wave 3.” Sleeping easy. Shared that the odds of a corrective leg were increasing, and the catalyst was served. Now we patiently await the heel-turn off the $88-$103 range of accumulation.

$ASTS 🛰️ LONG-TERM PROJECTION (!!!) LT Wave 5 Projected PT = $340 🟢 Bull Case In the event that management successfully executes on launch cadence to achieve their goal of 45 satellites in orbit by EOY, this is the path I see moving forward for price action of LT Wave 5. This PT of $340, one that would value AST SpaceMobile at $132 Billion is entirely reasonable when considering the price tag of $SPCX and that Starlink is its major driver of growth and high-margin revenue. $ASTS is in a very similar to $PLTR and $TSLA. The masses will be in disbelief, screaming from the rooftops that the valuation makes no sense, but we know what we own. As the core business starts to grow as revenue pours in, the picture will become clearer. Years will pass and many will regret missing the opportunity we were presented in 2024-2025. LT Wave 5 has started off strong. The Subwave structure of its impulsive Minor Wave 1 has extended quite far. This sets up for a strong Primary Wave 1 of LT Wave 5, affirming the ability for the stock to overextend to Bull Case PTs for LTW5, far past the Base Case PT ($170). Today, the stock re-tested ATHs at ~$130. Off this level, I am expecting Subwave 5 of Minor Wave 1 to be completed, forcing a pullback via Minor Wave 2 to the retracement targets depicted in Chart 2. This will force a cup-and-handle pattern through a re-test of the Volume POC + Base Breakout. Afterwards, a move towards $170+ would be enforced through Minor Wave 3. Cheers!

@imidaily Obviously D. You've got Italy for wonderful sunshine, a bit of the Alps if you want to ski, Czechia if you want woodland, Berlin if you want whatever the fuck people go there for, and Sweden for whatever wonders I'm sure the Nordics countries have.

@rawespresso 12 hours? You think the average office worker is doing a 12 hour day? I doubt the average is more than 8 plus lunch hour.

Walk into any UK office at 3pm on a Friday and you'll see something that's quietly become normal. Most desks are empty. The ones that aren't have someone leaning back, scrolling on their phone, or staring at a single email they've been 'working on' since 2pm. The few people actually doing work are doing it slowly enough that it could have been finished in 20 minutes if anyone was actually paying attention. The boss is in their office on a personal call, or out at a long lunch, or working from home so they don't have to see it. This is what the average UK office costs the average UK business — about 12 paid working hours a week that nobody is actually doing anything meaningful in. The 4-day work week conversation has nothing to do with whether the work fits into 4 days. Most people are already doing it in 3, and nobody at the top wants to admit it out loud.

@NigelForrester9 @RafHM @Harry_pitt You know exactly what you were implying. You didn't make this jab to have a go for potentially pulling a sickie but to suggest Harrison was scared of debating Hadders.

@RafHM @Harry_pitt None of this is relevant to my post. Pitt was booked for a debate, was at the pub yesterday, then abruptly pulled out. It is irrelevant whether he knew that Jack Hadfield was who he was debating — he knew the topic of the debate.

Harrison Pitt was due to debate Jack Hadfield on Restore versus Reform today. He has now pulled out, due to an unspecified ‘illness’. Yet just yesterday, he was spotted by a trusted source with a pint in hand in the Westminster Arms — notorious SW1 haunt of hard-drinking right-wing politicos. He didn’t seem unwell. What’s going on? 🤔

@lfg_uk @lawrencenewport What is any of them's plan? As much as I despise Starmer, this whole chibang is a case of opening Pandora's Box. Streeting might be mildly better, but if he won would be in the same straitjacket as Keir. Rayner/Milliband would be disastrous, Burnham has ambition without ideas!
