Yeah. Ive started to use somewhat incorrect English, like skipping apostrophes, just so it is obvious it couldnt have been generated, since Ai models dont fail on such simple mistakes.

Unfortunately, parts of how AI produced texts are structured and formulated do match my natural voice, since it follows the classic patterns of writing. That sucks.


As a flight nerd, I'm pretty impressed with what's possible nowadays! Good job!


There's been so many things I didn't have on my 2026 bingo card I've lost count...

Can't we get back to some form of normality soon? I'm happy to take another pandemic instead of the current state of the world.


That's the worst it got ... yet.


I do recognize the same thing.

It kind of takes its toll somehow; because the solution is "done" one it's fed to the AI, there's no time to recover by churning out boilerplate code or other patterns that sits in the spine.

It's more "full steam ahead, always".


Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.


For Canada and the Nordic countries, the weather on Greenland is business as usual, for all branches of the military.

My guess is as yours - the US military's focus on middle east and east Asia is of great disadvantage for them. Do they even get below -20 C for any longer periods at any base located on US mainland? Alaska, and some regions close to Canada, perhaps, leaving them with only some 10.000 personnel having anything near arctic experience, majority of which are based at the bases, not trained for front-action in artic climate.

For some real-life insides:

In the theoretical case of US actually invading Greenland (whatever that would mean, considering the largest city Nuuk is the size of a middle-sized town), the question isnt about potential casualties on Greenland.

The question is what would happen to the US staff land-locked on NATO bases within the EU. They will automatically become under siege, vastly outnumbered by European counterparts.

Since any attack on Greenland is an attack on the EU country the Kingdom of Denmark, and any attack on any EU countries automatically trigger EU Article 42.7, which mandates the full support from all members, to which all EU countries have committed, it would imply full-scale war.


Fact: European VAT (20-25% depending on country) is same for all companies; domestic, EU, US and Asians alike, added to end customers.

It's not EU's fault US manufacturers can't keep manufacturing costs down.

Neither is it EU's fault Trump believes slapping tariffs hurting US consumers will improve US standing in the world.


The imbalance comes from how VAT and US taxes work differently. A European car comes to the show floor free of VAT. A US car likely has sales tax still embedded into the costs, and tariffs get multiplied on top of it. I'm not saying that it's anyone's "fault", but it is an advantage for countries that have VAT.


Actually the european car comes to the show floor with VAT already paid by the store selling the car. VAT is end user tax, it's paid by last one in the chain. So it's only after the shop sells the car when they get the VAT back from the sale (and they get back only what VAT they paid before).


I was referring to European cars sold in the US compared to US cars sold in Europe.


I have the memoirs of an acquaintance to read; after living as a homeless amphetamine junkie for 10 years, he managed to raise himself up, got sober, clean, and went back to school.

I followed him as he managed to - through hard work, humility and determination - recover from the lost years of upper senior high he never completed in his teen, to enrolling law studies at one of Sweden's top universities.

He graduated some years ago, and got employed at a lower court, he passed his lawyer bar exam and is now a certified lawyer.

Unfortunately, his book "Uteliggaren som blev advokat" ("The junkie who became a lawyer") is not available in English (yet - I hope it will)


That is incredibly wonderful to hear. Glad they were able to make it through hell.


Erich von Däniken arise from the underworld.


He still lives I think.
