@Abu_Aliyyu @HeLovedMeFirst3 Sometimes its due to adverse weather causing route recalculation.
I got my ticket refunded, and extra $200, free accommodation and meals, and a free upgrade one time when a storm meant they needed extra fuel and needed to offload some passengers to manage the weight

@dmg1848 @TedUrchin @FalkTG The Battle of Milne Bay (25 August – 7 September 1942) in New Guinea was the first, and a significant, land defeat suffered by Japanese forces in World War II. Australian and US troops, supported by the Royal Australian Air Force, successfully repelled a Japanese invasion force.

@dmg1848 @TedUrchin @FalkTG European forces were "crushed" by Japan??

The vast majority of fighters against Japan were Australian and NZer and South East Asia. Europeans were busy... in Europe.
First major battle win against the Japanese - was Australian

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@RyotaCalledIt The troops are in Japan because part of WWII was that Japan was not to have a large military themselves and USA plonked themselves there to manage Japan.

They can leave. Let Japan increase their own military. The USA policies are why so many are there.

@USronaldcarter Switzerland isn't a member of NATO.

They are famously neutral. Didn't participate in WW1 or WW11. Shot down german and allied planes alike.

Switzerland isnt getting involved in anyone's war.

@Whale_Guru Why would China send warships? Iran is letting their ships through along with Indian ships. They dont have an issue with the Strait.

The USA started this war, caused the problem, arrogantly said "we won it already" and is now begging for help.

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@odinikaeze @krassenstein Im wondering if its for the USA military personnel who are stationed there? They dont get free healthcare and Greenland's hospitals might not have appropriate facilities to cope with military personnel

@it_unprofession Ooo If the executive knew but didn't do anything (and in fact hid it) they've breached some nasty little laws regarding duty of care and due diligence. All that "decisions in the best interests of the company" things.

Someone is screwed.

@theblessedsalt 28 million people, with 73% of us living in one of the major cities. A massive desert in the middle.
Huge distances with no-one there.

Plus Australia had a tiny population during the massive push for rail in USA and Europe. The $$ wasnt there to build it .

How much force would someone have to hit with a hammer to create a blood splatter pattern that reaches ceiling?

@tkloos @HansMahncke The last time a chinese warship (or anything military relating to china) was anywhere near Greenland waters was over a decade ago. China has no interest in Greenland, they're interest is very much in controlling the South China Sea area and Taiwan.

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@InfowarrioBOB @rospigge60559 China has shown zero interest in Greenland. None.
Russia has also never tried to take Greenland, nor shown much interest in it either.

This "we need it to protect it from China/Russia" is manufactured. The USA already has military bases on Greenland (closed 19 of them).

@goingonchain @callmeMaharani Some currencies like the Japanese yen does have cents like dollars do.

So it is ¥2800

Foreign currency is a thing

@RealMissAI @jamie_lissow I worked with someone who had a fairly common name, who had the same birthdate and name as a person with a criminal record. Caused him all sorts of issues with his security clearance.
It happens more often than you'd think.

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@docmurdock @SenFettermanPA Greenland already has a mapped agreement with Denmark for full independence. Why would they give that up to be "owned" by a country they made it very clear they do not want a part of?

@WilemElliott @SydneyLWatson The gun itself was legally obtained.
He could have legally transported it in a gun locker in the car, with the ammo stored separately - that's legal.

Having it in public and shooting people was illegal.

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@DavidHolland @SydneyLWatson I think you'll find its also illegal to bring pepper spray on a plane. Even in stowed luggage

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@WilemElliott @SydneyLWatson It was a bolt action shotgun. Not a semi auto. Legally obtained as well

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

@blearpy @Politics1com @elonmusk Australia and NZ are "young" countries - only about 200 yrs of European settlement - go back 3 or 4 generations and the vast majority are "immigrants"

[judith_h_adventure @JLHerald_]

I found myself within the dust.
survival is not silence—it's trust.
I found my voice. I chose to speak.
I’m not ashamed. I am not weak.
