In 1991 I was serving on board HMCS Athabaskan (DDG282) during Operation Friction. It was the 'Athabee' that pulled the crippled USS Princeton out of a minefield. I was about 21 at the time. Now I'm 55. If I have to go to war again, to project my home, I absolutely will.

1/ Donald Trump may be aiming to annex the Great Lakes – and possibly south-eastern Ontario in a maximalist scenario – and kick Canada out of NORAD, judging by first-hand accounts of talks between Canada and the Trump Administration. ⬇️

The Stranger Things final was satisfying.


Stranger Things (2016) : 2-3 years between seasons, get fewer than 10 episodes. Fringe (2008) : 1 year between seasons, get roughly 23 episodes.


So @eBay has decided to allow IP theft. Those are my designs that he is selling, without permission or compensation. I refuse to believe an actual, real human being reviewed this. Good job @AskeBay Congratulations on being an accomplice.

So @eBay has started violating copyright law by allowing stolen IP to be resold without authorization or compensation. I reported the illegal sale of my design by an eBay seller, who even used photos of my own desk! And eBay's AI says there is no violation.


The Pentagon 'leaked' a report stating that the Pentagon evaluated the F-35 and found it was better than any aircraft not sponsored by the Pentagon. Seems like a legit report. 🙄


Brian is an expert in tactical aircraft now. 🙄 The reality is that - 'lost' F-35 jobs transfer over into the JAS-39. - Canada's aerospace manufacturing ability takes a giant leap forward. - We regain control of our own supply chain. - We can build more for less. Simple.

Mark Carney's Swedish dreams could become a Canadian nightmare with job losses across many sectors from aviation to steel and auto. Carney would be foolish to dump the F-35 for Saab. Here's why. torontosun.com/opinion/column…



Love it when dudes get their knickers in a knot to the point they just block you instead of answering a simple question.

I pulled out the old #MaximumFootball game code and built in the rules the #CFL is changing over the next 2 years. 100 * 65 yard field + 15 yard end zones. Goal posts at the back. Some interesting results. Still possible to get a rouge via a non-returned fielded kick. #GreyCup

The funniest part of these scenes is that the Zero's are flying at full throttle, the Tomcat is barely keeping above stall speed.

Two F-14 Tomcats from the USS Nimitz mix it up with a couple of Mitsubishi Zeroes in the 1980 sci-fi movie 'The Final Countdown.' The film imagines the nuclear powered aircraft carrier being hurtled back in time to the eve of Pearl Harbor. Any fans?

Fewer vs. less. If you have a collection of individual things, you have fewer of them. Not less of them. Fewer viewers = less viewership Fewer seconds/minutes/hours = less time Fewer raindrops = less rain etc... @TheSpiffingBrit you do not have less viewers or less seconds.


I get that @YouTube has changed their definition of 'viewer' over the past month, and I understand I get minuscule viewer numbers, but I would think the website should still be able to sort a column properly.

Well of course @PrimeVideo would change all the music in HelluvaBoss when they took it over. Gawd, it's awful now.


Well, shit.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

This is the app for my vacuum. What two-way voice call could I possibly be having with it? Are they calling each other?

Are they calling each other?

USAF F-15’s had to respond to the ‘hijacking’ incident in BC because the Liberal government of Canada doesn’t think we need tactical air coverage across the whole nation. Now they only want to purchase enough new aircraft to barely cover Ontario airspace.

Grok, is this true? Alexa, is this true? Gemini, is this true? We're outsourcing our thinking to AI, which I find concerning.
