@AlexLuck9 That was on my list to have a crack at. Gradually re-visits Stargate SG1- ah, the wise cracks-gold

@SWDWilliam OMG...I swear I thought Amanda Luxon was Natalie Portman

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@MrGee27 @fuzzysemi Not in that case. Police must always drive with 'due care and caution' even with lights and sirens on. The video doesn't lie. Old Bill fkd up chucking a Uey and his superiors could only ever is a mea culpa

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@fuzzysemi TBH, they look like GD police and are probably no better drivers than most people. Maybe a modicum of extra training.

Yeah, it's classic SMIDSY but honestly, if you get an apology then it helps to de-escalate the situation

This shit happens all the time on roads.

Satellite images have revealed a mysterious structure appearing at the entrance of Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea—before vanishing just days later.

@DavidMAndrews @SamRoggeveen @mumbletwits @AlexLuck9 Perhaps seeing the real-world impact in the Strait of Hormuz helps illustrate the value of AUKUS.

If a localized disruption there can affect our daily costs so clearly, imagining a scenario 10x worse in the Taiwan Strait helps explain why sea-lane security is so vital.

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@SWDWilliam @BlackDouglas No shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is a brutal, real-time preview of the exact geoeconomic crisis AUKUS is designed to prevent.

If blocking 20% of global energy paralyzes trade, imagine a China enforced blockade in the Taiwan Strait for half the global container fleet.

@SSSsnoop Whether it’s baking sourdough or quoting John Stuart Mill the mechanism is identical. Its a weaponized polished aesthetic to disarm an audience. An ideological Trojan horse designed to make intense, parochial tribalism for 🇮🇱 to look completely reasonable

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@CAugustElliott @Jasper_Craven Also, who the heck is doing the candidate screening?

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@MenachemV @joshburnsmp Nice.

And when any country cites, 'the right to self defence' people all over the world will think of the apocalyptic destruction and death metered out on innocent civilians by the State of Israel.

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@JAParker29 P&I seems to only view issues through a particular ideological lens. I have the feeling articles like that are what that audience wants to read.

Only caveat was the Briggs article where I learnt about Effective Full Power Hours vs hull life.

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@NZ_Trav Taiwans not a country?

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and has feathers. Has had them since 1945.

Seems to be pretty much on X to promote the interests of the PRC.

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@JeffLormans I think the inquiry will be political theatre for those so inclined but it will make zero difference to AUKUS and whatever efforts and plans are in place.

[Richard Dunley @redunley]

The whole Block IV vs Block VII discussion is highlighting the utter inability to have any reasonably informed debate about AUKUS. Despite the categorical claims made by advocates & detractors the reality is that we don’t know if this a positive or negative 1/

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@hawks2767 @redunley Sorry. It almost sounded like a typical piss take that people who have served together might make, especially on a submarine. Then I saw other comments and realised I might have misread the situation. Cheers.

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@hawks2767 @redunley Sounds like you know that first hand 😆

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

@ChrisO_wiki Cheers. 👍

I wouldn't have thought such a small section of SHS mind steel with a pointy tip would get through much

[MattyK166 @MattyK166]

Judging by the construction, designed to penetrate foliage or netting and improve accuracy

When America develops a deep-penetrating bomb, it calls it by a string of letters and numbers. When Ukraine develops one, it calls it...

@ShereleMoody Awful to lose someone so young.

Could it be long QT? My nieces have that heart condition and have been on beta blockers since childhood. Common cause of instant death in otherwise fit healthy young people, and unless people have had an ECG, it wouldn't ever be picked up.
