@Starlink Any chance you could turn it back over Ukraine?

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@Starlink What about Ukraine? Why throttle back the link speed when they are using it to defend themselves?

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@domdyer70 Ukraine. Invaded by Russia, betrayed by America.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@theliamnissan Is that the same guy that said of the Ukraine Russian war. "If I'm president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours."?
We are still waiting two years later.

@Peter_Fitz When he sang amazing grace at the funeral of the Reverend who was one of nine killed at the Charleston massacre. I get chills every time.

@elonmusk If Ukraine was so corrupt why hasn’t Putin just bought off Zelensky and the Ukraine government? It would have been a lot cheaper.
Maybe they really are fighting for their countries survival.

@welovejiangjie How does Russian diesel, unable to be sold on the world market due to US sanctions, affect US diesel prices?

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@TheRickWilson Russia invades Ukraine and the US surrendered.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@MittRomney I never thought I’d see the US surrender to Russia.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@GenFlynn Or Russia could leave Ukraine. Wars over.
That would be the option Regan, Bush 1, Bush 2 would have demanded and fought for.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@elonmusk Or Russia could just go home. The slaughter stops immediately.

@airmainengineer Thanks for the responses. That all makes sense. The gains are not big enough to outweigh the pain of extra motorized or wind driven attachments to spin wheels. Cheers.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@airmainengineer I’d guess the middle wheels come into play on heavier landings?
Complete newb question. Why don’t we have a way of spinning the wheels so the tyres don’t shred as much/any rubber on touchdown?

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@airmainengineer Thanks for the responses people. That makes sense. Essentially the gains are minimal and not as big as you might think, but the complications from either a motorized or wind driven solution are not worth

@Peter_Fitz Can it be fantastic and dull at the same time? Spain have kept the world’s best player out of the game. That’s a tactical achievement.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@earthcurated I traveled overland from London to Singapore then Bali, in the 90’s. Mostly by train, Trans Siberian through Russia, trains through China into Vietnam. Great trip, took both six months with lots of stops along the way.

@SenMcDonald Yeah those activists like Ken Henry, ex reserve bank chief and author of the Henry Tax review. The last big government enquiry into tax. He wants the 25% tax on gas exports.

[Peter Harrison @peterrharrison]

@SenMcDonald And as gas consumers we pay some of the highest gas prices in the world. Driving industry offshore. So they get the gas for free then charge the Australian citizens, who owned the gas, top dollar to use it. It’s insulting.

@peters_malcolm Bill Shorten took a 90 day fuels reserve policy to the election in 2019. We the voters picked Morrison because he offered tax cuts.
