KLM has about a century worth of experience transporting animals. Dolphins, crocodiles, llamas, whatever. One exception was mentioned in a press release som years ago, when the wrote that KLM would “no longer fly with primates”. fair enough if a bunch of chimpanzees ripped apart the plane’s interior, but one might…

Ages ago, when Citroëns were real Citroëns, in surveys they usually scored pretty low in some respects. Like the average of five times a new car had to visit the workshop to have things fixed they sort of forgot about at the factory. But when it came to satisfaction, to whether buying one again, or to recommending it…

For proper preparation before entering Oz, get and read the encyclopedia ‘Dangerous Animals of Australia, Vol. 1 - 19'.

If against all odds I make it to 93, I’ll get to celebrate my 1938 Nimbus’ 100-year birthday. It’s still is a nice everyday bike, and good for vacations in distant countries too:

The local government likely got paid handsomely for the fishing rights, and don’t give a damn if some fishing communities loose their livelihood because other countries’ big fishing boat and trawlers. So while legal, it is still immoral as f***.

Unlikely. The local government likely got paid handsomely for the fishing rights, and don’t give a damn if some fishing communities loose their livelihood because other countries’ big fishing boat and trawlers. So legal, yes, but still immoral as f***.

Actually it is legal overfishing, as local authorities let other countries - EU included - to fish their waters dry of fish.  

Making chemtrails since 1942....

An illegally parked car had its front bumper scraped off by a city bus here in Copenhagen, when the bus driver had to make a RH turn into a relatively narrow street. His passengers - me included - literally cheered, but really should also have co-signed the note he went out and put on the car.

Autonomous commercial planes have been talked about for decades, and once they start flying - the tech is here now - it’ll likely be tested on freighters first. In theory this could free up pilots to fly passenger planes instead.

Paint job makes it look a bit like the SAM decoy I saw at a war museum in Hanoi...

The Trimotor wasn’t Henry Ford’s only aircraft, as he also wanted to enter the hobbyist aviation market. It was with the Ford Flivver, which was intended to be ‘the Ford T of the air’. Three prototypes were built, but along the way fellow antisemite Charles Lindberg described the Flivver as “one of the worst aircraft…

The interesting part is, that should sanctions liften come January, the maintenance schedules of those planes are still all screwed up, even the ones still flying. That means they aren’t allowed to fly to a lot of destination outside of Russia, like most Western ones.

I seriously doubt this is common knowledge.

It’s really very simple:

Enter the MiG 105, black nose & belly.

Because it’s doubtful the US will lend China the X-37B blueprints.

The previous dumb insurance scam was about the jerks in New Jersey who backed their car into other car - which had a dashcam - and then exited their car pretending being hurt.

In the idiot’s defense, I will say that north of the Polar Circle the bears have evolved to the point where they can open car doors. Give them another 34 years, and they’ll figure out to hotwire the ignition.
