The...Armada?
The Titan submersible outside in the cold with its machinery in its tail cone exposed to the elements.
To save money, OceanGate left the Titan submersible outside in a parking lot in St. John's, Newfoundland for 3 months during the Canadian winter, exposing the carbon fiber hull and Titan's machinery to freezing temperatures. (1/2)🧵

Perhaps the funniest part of this is right at the beginning, where somebody rather optimistically lobs another tiny fender over the stern...
Mêxico Embassy of Mexico in... • 1h X This post is false. The military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, aimed at capturing Rubén "N," alias "Mencho," was planned and executed by Mexican Special Forces. The action was carried out within the framework of bilateral cooperation, with U.S. authorities providing complementary intelligence. Mexican National Guard and Army troops are currently reinforcing security in Jalisco and neighboring states to maintain order.

The Mexican Embassy in the US is having to debunk fake news from Laura Loomer (news that endangers American lives, no less…).
It says the action was a MEXICAN military operation “carried out within the framework of bilateral cooperation, with US authorities providing complementary intelligence.”
Welcome to give a shout if you hop on over to Ottawa!
They should have simply put an extra guy on the ice, since it is apparently legal.
Putting all of this silliness aside, if only there was an entire US agency dedicated to feeding, teaching, and treating developing nations around the world while earning us good will….oh wait.

"Yes. In fact, you should."

Oh, now, first bet is fae or timeslips.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.
Sweden’s Prime Minister, in a new statement on Greenland:
“We will not let ourselves be blackmailed… Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway, and the United Kingdom for a coordinated response.”
The rabid feral animals in question:
Quick explainer for those not used to how naval cost estimates (when done well) work in a “cost-by-weight” model (which has issues I’ll get to).
Before I get into it, I’ll preface that these numbers look reasonable, especially for how immature DEFIANT’s detailed design definitely is.
Off/around/resupply visit...many options! The nature of the sea ;)
There's always Op Nanook as another option.
lol come on now
Pot de peinture dead salmon (nº28) de chez Farrow & Ball
J'aurais kiffé être à la réunion brainstorming chez les peintures Farrow & Ball quand ils ont choisi le nom de couleur "dead salmon"(!?) et qu'ils se sont dits que ça allait être vendeur
Assume the challenge of gravity is overcome: the biggest obstacle is doctrinal. It'd go against decades of thinking on addressing the threat as far out as possible. It'd mean "we COULD tackle it way out there, but no, we'd purposely let it get REALLY CLOSE". French did this in Red Sea it seems.
This should be fun. A very unusual kit with lots of interior options (hangars), to be inserted as modules through the bottom of the hull and into the superstructure.
The amount of times he referenced them in his speech...it's absolutely no surprise.
It's kinda ridiculous that the actual Trumpship is *even longer* than Reconstructionist's (much better looking) design
