  • Why hasn't Europol asked for the full unredacted Trump/Epstein files?

  • Yes, but... I mean, they're like the umbrella organization of all EU police, coordinating to combat serious crime, so why can't they arrange to get all the files and then distribute them to member states police to do the actual arrests?

  • What books are your favourite and what are you reading now?

  • The Expanse by James S.A Corey is also worth your time. Currently reading The Faith of Beasts by the same author, part 2 of The Captive's War. Enjoying it so far.

  • Germany would rather accept weaker cloud services than depend on US providers

  • That's... how you build stronger cloud services?Using EU cloud providers gives them the financial muscles to build stronger services. I'm moving everything I can to EU services, even if that means that I have to pay a little extra for it, or get slight worse services because I want them to be able improve. I will however shop between EU providers so that I get the best value for money. I'm not an idiot.

  • Trump says France must scrap tech 'sales tax' or face 100% wine tariffs: NY Post

  • Wait until Trump realises that France is in the EU and that you can't tarriff France alone.

  • Trump says U.S. will seize Iran’s Kharg Island and other ‘oil infrastructure points’

  • The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.

    This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts and helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to.
