Sadly, I don't think I'm eligible for early onset anymore.

There’s a Ukrainian Association in WA and one Vic. Probably more in other States. Maybe contact them. No doubt they will be involved in sending aid to Ukraine.
-
It was the A-10 training I'd heard about.
-
It will be interesting to see whether Biden and NATO eventually decide to give the Ukrainians F16's if Russia escalates their war in the country. Aren't some Ukrainian pilots already being trained on them, or did I imagine hearing that a while ago?

And so, on such consequential matters as the NRL hangs the colonial future of 1,000 years of British history .

I landed at Coober Pedy a few years ago and after securing the plane walked over to the deserted terminal, and phoned for a taxi after looking up the number on my phone. After waiting a very long time with no sign of any taxi, I rang again and got through to the driver. He said he was at the airport but I said I couldn’t see him, so I asked ‘which airport?’. He said ‘Ceduna’. Turns out there is no taxi service in Coober Pedy.

They're probably looking for Ukrainians. Would make more sense to look for Russians.

Bit hard on the charities when the donors are using them to dispose of their rubbish.
-
Churchill was probably quite pleased when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour.

He's the smart one. The others are working.

I've been to Coober Pedy and seen pictures of Mars. They won't have to spend much on the set.

I thought the Queen did a good job but now that she’s gone this would be a good time for Australia to move on with some form of republic that requires minimal change to the system of government that we have now.
-
Kings do a nice line in 4WD roof racks and awnings too. Too many kings around these days. Time for a Republic.
-
We have a king now?
-
Likewise. They picked the day before and the day after, but missed me. As it turned out the war ended before I would have been posted.
-
On their backs under your car?
-
Yes, I missed that. Round post footings are the norm.
-
Rigid square and round footings of the same area will produce the same average bearing pressure although the deeper subsurface pressure distribution will be different for each. Square footings are almost always used simply because they are easier to form up and reinforce than round ones. The corners of a square footing are not prone to breaking off because the maximum bending stresses are in the centre of the footing.There are situations where a round footing is more appropriate, such as the foundation for a major airport control tower, water storage, wind turbine or power station chimney, but typical building footings are square or rectangular because those shapes are more practical.

He couldn’t have been a real engineer. A proper engineer would never say a beam is too big.

If there are aliens wandering around, it's surprising that they seem to have no trouble breathing our corrosive alien atmosphere (assuming they need to breathe), coping with our gravity (those slender little ones would probably be on their hands and knees), contending with our lethal microbes, which even we can't always overcome, and if they had the misfortune to meet an average American there's a fair chance they'd be shot. If we went to their planet, how would we fare just stepping off our spaceship and mingling inconspicuously with the locals. Not too well would be my guess.

Tucker Carlson's email trail was a significant factor in the Dominion win so maybe that's why they sacked him. He wasn't the only one so I wonder if others may follow or even whether Dominion decide to sue him personally for spreading lies about their voting machines. Whatever happens, it's a good thing that he's gone.
-
They got enough flight data to figure out what went wrong so they can fix the problems they now know about. Of course there may be different problems on the next flight that they don't know about yet.
-
Apparently somebody pushed the red button to disassemble it before it went out of the cleared downrange area and fell on some unlucky boat.
-
He loses quite a few rockets, but to his credit he doesn't give up until he gets them working. Those boosters that land themselves are amazing.

Twitter under Musk is a lot like getting involved in aviation - a good way to turn a large fortune into a small one.
