1\ One of my followers is involved in the administration of a large portfolio of acute care facilities. Throughout COVID-19, he's been skeptical of the claim that state executive orders really forced sick patients into nursing homes.
Pakistanis are not weird, Europeans are weird. Australian aboriginals ritually gang rape prepubescent girls, 30% of Africans in convenience surveys *admit* to having raped, Amerindians set records for child pregnancies, Gazan civilians came through the fences to join the raping
Bus just disgorged 50 "inner city" youth onto quiet exurb playground, 17yos now brachiating over play equipment, yuppie parents scattering with toddlers like leaves before a sudden wind

We are waiting for 20-something scholar to finish using the swing as some sort of surfboard
Reading about Ram Air Turbines after the Air India 171 crash and came across this puzzling picture of Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303. How is the aircraft airborne after "both engines and generators failed due to a belly landing"?
Ok, they landed without landing gear, skidded for 18 seconds, and decided to take off again for a go around. How does that happen?
The aircraft was twice as high as it should have been for its approach, the pilots were making decisions without talking to each other, and in a weird show of braggadocio the Captain decided to "surprise" ATC by continuing to land rather than go around
The Rhodesian Bush War doesn't get enough play as one of the great odysseys of the West. More romantic than Vietnam because it was farm boys defending civilization. More heroic than the World Wars because it was mostly teams of four engaged in McGuyver-esque sabotage.
The kill ratios were wild, up to 60:1. Even when SAS were ambushed they often as not turned the tables and eliminated their numerically superior attackers. A few thousand of these guys could roll up Africa if the UN got out of the way.
Here 200 killed 2000 (the "civilians" were terrorists)
