    OMG indeed

    The Houthies are not some machete and Molotov Cocktail outfit. They have sophisticated weaponry from Iran and others. If there really was strike package intel on the chat, the pilots on the strike were in the crosshairs had the baddies been read in.

    How safe is the Tesla auto-drive system

    An aeroplane 'flying itself' needs, for 85/90% of the journey, only to keep in a 2 mile wide corridor at the correct altitude. Cars... bit more involved.

    Trump is talking sense

    Well we did it for 50 years, and other than a few very short lived real crises, it was never much of a possibility. That's what deterrence gets you.

    Trump is talking sense

    I was a serving airman 7 minutes flying time from the Warsaw Pact border in 1983. Whilst we trained every day for the possibility, I don't recall sh1tting bricks about it.

    Why is Trump so keen on Putin

    Ironic. President Musk's own AI program 'Grok', says that the Mango Mussollini is 75-85% likely to be a Russian asset. I think it took his brown nosing of Putin into account.

I'd like a more substantial ranch style fence for the safety of kids n animals; and for the look. Is there any way...
