WHY ARE F35s EVEN ON THE TABLE WHEN CHINA NOW OWNS IT'S STEALTH (sic) SKIN SECRETS⁉️

DOESN'T THAT MAKE F35s
LESS THAN EQUAL TO FASTER, MORE AGILE 4TH GEN JETS⁉️

Good reporting. The F35 Blk4 upgrade still seems to have big problems & the GAO isn’t allowed to report them. While the June Modernization report was blocked, the June Readiness report was released. It showed costs are up & readiness is down. We need a mixed fleet ASAP.

Fertilizer through Hormuz has dropped to zero.

No fertilizer cargoes crossing the strait in September or October.

Before the war, about 20% of the world’s traded nitrogen fertilizer went through it, Fertilizer Daily reports.

The Gulf also supplies about half of the world’s traded sulfur.

Hear me out: urea isn’t the problem.

China raised its nitrogen exports about 47% and the US about 60%.

By the end of August urea was back to its January price, IFPRI data shows.

Sulfur is the problem.

It has more than doubled, to above $1,000 a tonne, and phosphate is up 25–30%.

You need sulfur to make phosphate fertilizer.

Mosaic has idled two Louisiana plants, and India’s fertilizer subsidy bill could pass 3 trillion rupees, against 1.71 trillion budgeted.

Oil found other ways out of the Gulf.
Sulfur hasn’t.

I really hope there's some accountability on this front. Students need to know that Ford's government knew about the fraud, and instead of stopping it, used it as an excuse to cut their OSAP funds.

Another gem. Every night these goons run around on pick- up trucks trying to stop people from exercising their democratic rights. That this is happening in Canada is astounding. #Brampton

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize https://t.co/zMMNukdzi9

🇪🇺 OCCAR-managed Hypersonic Defence Interceptor (HYDEF) programme has successfully completed its first stage with the End-of-Project (EOP) milestone event.

According to an OCCAR statement, HYDEF achieved all planned objectives and exceeded initial expectations throughout this first stage, "delivering a mature and technically viable concept for a future European endo-atmospheric interceptor capability".

One of the programme’s most significant achievements was the successful maturation of all critical technologies to at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3. In addition, several high-priority technologies advanced to TRL levels between 4 and 6 through testing in relevant environments, significantly reducing technological risks and providing a solid basis for future development. A comprehensive development roadmap has also been established with the objective of delivering a technological demonstrator at TRL 6 by 2030.

EU HYDEF programme is a joint European initiative to develop a next-generation endo-atmospheric interceptor capable of neutralizing highly maneuverable and hypersonic glide vehicles. The programme is funded with a total amount of €110 million, of which €100 million are co-funded by the EU European Defence Fund (EDF) and the other €10 million are funded by the five participating states: Belgium, Germany, Norway, Poland and Spain. 🇧🇪🇩🇪🇳🇴🇵🇱🇪🇸

The HYDEF Consortium consists of 12 companies - SONACA from Belgium; Diehl Defence from Germany; NAMMO from Norway; ILOT and ITWL from Poland; SMS, EM&E, GMV, Instalaza, INTA, Navantia and Sener from Spain. @DiehlDefence @emegroup_ @NavantiaOficial

I was clearly very excited to vote today because I went to my local voting station thinking it would be open by 8:30am...no such luck!

Voting stations open at 10 am (which, IMHO, is ridiculously late and inconvenient for working adults!).

However, I, of course, will be back!

Un uomo di 83 anni stava per andare a dormire quando sua moglie, 81 anni, gli disse:

«Caro, mi sembra che abbiamo lasciato accesa la luce del garage. Puoi andare a spegnerla?»

L’uomo, con qualche fatica, si alzò dal letto e andò a controllare. Ma appena guardò fuori, vide cinque o sei ladri che cercavano di forzare la porta del garage.
Preoccupato, chiamò immediatamente la polizia.

«Buonasera, ci sono dei ladri che stanno cercando di entrare nel mio garage. Siamo due anziani soli in casa. Potete mandare qualcuno?»

Dall’altra parte risposero:
«Abbiamo preso nota dell’indirizzo, signore, ma al momento non abbiamo pattuglie disponibili. Manderemo qualcuno appena possibile.»

L’anziano riattaccò, guardò nuovamente dalla finestra e rimase a pensare per un paio di minuti.
Poi richiamò la polizia.

«Buonasera, sono quello dei ladri nel garage. Non preoccupatevi più, ho risolto il problema. Ho sparato a tutti e sei.»

Nel giro di cinque minuti arrivarono quattro pattuglie, un elicottero, due ambulanze e una squadra di agenti armati.
I ladri furono arrestati sul posto.

Il comandante si avvicinò all’anziano, visibilmente contrariato:
«Ma come? Lei aveva detto di aver sparato a tutti i ladri!»

Il vecchietto lo guardò tranquillamente e rispose:
«E voi non avevate detto che non c’erano pattuglie disponibili?»

To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking he’d protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.

The most used weedkiller on American corn turns male frogs into egg-laying females at a tenth of the dose the law allows in drinking water, Europe banned it in 2004, and the company that makes it put the scientist who found out under surveillance.

Atrazine goes on half the corn in America, seventy million pounds a year, and every spring the rain washes it off the fields into the reservoirs of the corn belt in a pulse the water companies can set their calendar by. In 2002 Tyrone Hayes at Berkeley, who had been hired by the maker to test it, found that at a fraction of the legal limit it castrated male leopard frogs and turned some of them into functioning females with eggs. The company tried to keep the results. He published. The documents that came out in court a decade later were the company's plan for him, by name: discredit him, investigate him, have him followed, and buy the search results for his name so his work came up last.

The frogs were the warning. The water is the point. For most of the growing season the taps of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and Nebraska run above the European limit, and the water utilities sued the maker to pay for the filters and settled for a hundred million dollars. The European Union looked at the data and banned it because it could not be kept out of the water. The United States looked at the same data and renewed it, twice.

The corn it protects is fed to pigs, burned in cars, and refined into the syrup in the drink.

A pasture has never needed atrazine, and the cows on it drink from the pond. The corn belt puts a chemical through its own taps every June that changes the sex of the thing in the pond, and the official position is that the frogs are not people.

@infantserbian Last I looked (2005) Canada's pension plan had ~ $300M+ invested in Phillip Morris.

Likely so did most of the countries doing the bombing.

Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."

US Big Tech corporations are spending a staggering $1 trillion this year, or 3% of GDP, on AI capital expenditure (capex), largely for data centers.

China's tech companies are spending $123 billion on AI apex, which is just 0.6% of GDP.

But China's AI models perform just as well as US models -- and China's are open-source and much cheaper, and are thus becoming more popular around the world.

Keep in mind that China has 4 times the US population, but is spending 1/10th of what the US is spending on AI capex.

It is obvious that US AI capex is way, way too high, and represents extreme malinvestment. This is because the US AI sector is in an enormous bubble.

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory.

Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil.

Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving.

We will remain by your side for the years to come.

Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade.

A rules-based global order.

And strong ambitions for our climate.

President Trump at a rally today in Michigan regarding negotiations with Canada: ‘They are willing to give us anything at this moment’. This is total b.s. from Trump. Canada is the only country that has stood up to Trump for his illegal tariffs.
