Crazy! Maduro needs to go away!

We have to go back to the room now, Grandpa. We will talk tomorrow again about Ukraine, okay?

So the Light traveled already for 3000 light years. The furthest man made object (voyager, 1977, 50 years ago) is currently at the Helipause, just 18 Light-Hours away. Not even a light-day. Much less a light year.

It will take about 300 years to get to the inner edge of the Oort Cloud, and tens of thousands of years to get past it.

the big irony is: The UK was holding with HK a private container-shipping entry-point in china. Chinas comeback 100 years later will be holding a container-shipping island in europe named “UK”. They would love to ship all their stuff next to europe and offer 3 day shipping to everyone in europe. And the UK is the island they gonna need for that. Russia and China put a wedge into the brains of 20% (30% were already lost/tories/racist/uneducated) of UK voters by letting people vote themself out of the EU and make it available for desperate contracts. The modern internet made it possible to confront everyone with its own fears via targeted ads. You are afraid of foreigners? Well, they will all come to your country! You are a racist? Well, there are million others, you should feel proud of yourself! You are anxious about sea-rights for shipping? Well the EU is gonna take it away from you… and so on.

The weakest people think from the wall to the kitchen. Maybe from the house to the end of the street. But they will never understand international relations or foreign affairs. They are easy target. Too stupid to notice, too stupid to fight back. And the best thing is: you only need 51% to take full control. China and Russia knows this. They know the weakness of democracies and deliberately act on these weaknesses.

Those polling places are not worth the ashes anyway. I can understand why people set fire to them. They are an insult to every russian who has not completly gelatinized his brain with state TV.

will seek the dissolution of a pro-reform party that won the most votes in last year’s election, saying there is evidence the party “undermines the democratic system with the king as the head of state”.

You have to read this again and again. The King does not want the reforms the poeple voted for democratically. Why even have democratic votes if in the end a king (in tank tops) will dissolve the democratic voted party.

Rocket science is hard. Do not give up Japan.

True, as it says in the wikipedia I linked. But is has nothing do to with the 787. This could happen to any plane and in fact does happen on many planes in the past and future. A drop because of airpocket and turbulence are very common.

Trump was a wakeup call for me back then. As a teenager in the 90s I always thought that the US has a robust democratic system with a strong militaristic core/underbelly/deepstate that would never compromise the stand of the US. I thought that some three letter agency would always have a plan for everything already drawn up and that action behind the scenes would be taken to ensure the stability and actionability of the states by always being one step ahead of the adversary. For the first Trump year I thought it would be a controlled trick of one of the agencies to trick china/russia into a trap. It must be. The US killed people in other countries around the world to make the US get out on top. No way that bought ads on Facebook can get unrecognized by these agencies to subvert millions.

My worldview about the US today is absolutely shattered. I do not believe that any three letter agency in the US is capable of steering or controlling anything. That Russia and China are able to influence so many people without any agency confronting these efforts was a wake up call for me. And that there is a chance that trump might have a second term is downright devastating for my assurance in the US. As a child I thought about moving to the US one day. I would have taken the risk of getting shot or struggling with bad healthcare. But now that the believe in the protective stable leading system is gone… what is left? Unleashed capitalism and rampant racism? I can find this everywhere in the world.

My personal american dream is long over.

I can only see three incidents with 787 on wikipedia:

• 2013 Boeing 787 Dreamliner grounding
• 2024 TCAS incident over Somalia
• LATAM Airlines Flight 800

This does not looks like a repeating pattern. The Flight 800 was a 300ft drop midair with around 30 to 40 people hitting the ceiling of the cabin and landing in Auckland without further problems. This does not sound 787 related. Just keep your seatbelts on.

The 2024 TCAS incident reads like a near collision based on miscommunication by air traffic control. Not related to the 787 series.

And well the 2013 787 grounding was based on lithium-ion batteries problems and has now been fixed (?).

I would say relax and keep your seatbelts buckled (disregarding what airframe you are on).

That is 0.025 Millimeter in normal units

If it were not the country of the people, putin and every other autocrat would not bother bending back over to supress the voice of people. It is his biggest fear that the people recognize their power and stand up. Many reports described how putin reacted visually shocked while seeing the pictures of Muammar Gaddafis body getting dragged through the streets during the revolution in Libya. He knows that he is on a constant edge of being toppled as a dictator and that the hounds are waiting behind the door.

Putin does in Ukraine what he does to his own people: Show endurance to imitate strength. Protest in Russia are cleared out after two days max. And that is a weak optic for the protests. Imagine people would come out with aggressive force and would show durability and destruction for days no matter how hard he tries to crack down and no matter how many people getting killed. The whole thing would slip away. We can not stop and give up in Ukraine, as that is what putin wants and how the citizens of russia are kept in check: double down.

I can imagine a world from 1917, where the russian people get back an idea of hope and their ability to take back control. A world, where they throw molotov cocktails at the Kremlin, do not bow down when they see their brothers blood in the streets and dragging putins useless corpse over the red square. That would be a horror-show for every authoritarian leader in the world. It’s possible, but russians (of course) are hesitant to fight for a country, that they themself see no future in as it was talked out of them over and over and over… Who would fight for a country when your hope and dreams were systematically eradicated for decades until nothing is left other then submission.

But still, it is their country. Their (in)action controls the outcome of their country. What was won letting the blood of 400.000+ run down the Dnieper in Ukraine, when the same blood could have run down the Moskva River at home, while the later would be a total change for every russian, their children and grandchildren: 400K men die for nothing vs. 400K die at home for something.

It’s funny that you mentioned pot. Because people described the reaction of pot sometimes in the way of OPs question: When you smoke weed, you get sensitive for things your brain normally is able to filter out as irrelevant information because your head can only process so much before it gets overwhelmed. Some people described that when they smoke weed, that they can sit in their living room or kitchen and start noticing the humming of the fridge or the buzzing of an electrical object as your synapses are wired “differently” when blocked by THC and you start to notice things, your brain normally suppresses.

Sorry for your tinnitus bro. I hope you find ways to make it bearable at times.
