@George-K said in The Easter hunters wish you a happy Easter!: This is such a wonderful, refreshing thread. Bless you and your froggos, @brenda ! ETA: Is their trilling seasonal? We had all kinds of froggos at the Cheddarshack, and every spring the racket was unbelievable. Yes, the trilling increases during the spring, and this spring we have two that are big trillers, and one that I suspect is male, but has not trilled yet. The gurls are not vocal usually, but are capable of making an occasional chirp. Their job is to make the males follow them around, which happens more now. We'll see where that leads ... Really, they are not much different from hoomans that way.

@xenon said in The F35 was designed for conditions in Ukraine: Well - Russia seems to be a bit of a paper tiger. Who else is on the big boy list, China? Curious who could use this against whom? Much of America's Air-Land Battle Doctrine depends on air superiority, and works best with air supremacy. China supposedly has a fifth-generation and the Russians also have one. Neither has the capability of the F-35, but the F-35 does not do well at supersonic speeds, and the Navy needs buster capability for CAP and its backup. Another problem with the F-35, is the combat load. It is supposed to be a multirole aircraft, but it falls short in the attack role. That's why the Navy has looked at an attack version of the F-15. For air superiority, you have to be ahead of the technological curve.

5 people involved in the investigation have sought protection under the 5th amendment. NTTAWWT, of course.

Welcome to New Yawk.

Somewhat "interesting" is that through the 1960's and into the 70's, the standard of living in DPRK was actually higher than that of the ROK.

@Renauda said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: @Jolly said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: @Doctor-Phibes said in Russian drone - Nikon and duct tape: Without nukes, Russia would really be a laughing-stock militarily. They've got some decent stuff, if they could just maintain it and train effectively. My experience in their oil patch told me long ago that equipment maintenance only occurs after catastrophic failure followed by a period of prolonged idleness during which time anything on it that is salvageable is salvaged for personal gain. Chernobyl I guess could be considered catastrophic failure

Ayup. Multiculturalism is just a step toward Balkanization.

@Axtremus Yup. You are correct. I did say ten countries, but then only listed nine. LOL Edited the list to add Malaysia

@Axtremus Ax, it turns out the green grapes are $7 and red are $2-something. TMK the green are not organic.

@LuFins-Dad said in Weather app?: @LuFins-Dad said in Weather app?: @Mik said in Weather app?: I use AccuWeather, but it's a website. I'm sure they have an app, but I've never installed it. +1 I like their Minutecast feature. This morning I am dressing for work… “Hey Siri, what’s today’s forecast?” “It’s currently 61 degrees. Today’s high will be 64 and will drop to the high 40’s by late afternoon.” It’s 86 degrees right now… Finley and I were at the park 46 minutes ago. I noticed a couple of drops. Check Accuweather Minutecast. “No Precipitation In Sight!” We keep playing… 5 minutes later we are hiding in a gazebo from a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder… You need to stop setting Minneapolis as your current location, bro
