| What a strange thread! Someone makes a pathologically long post. Then thirteen years later a second person (who didnt notice the date on the OP) thanks the first person for posting it not realizing that the first person left the site ages ago. Then in the subsequent six years other people chime in .... |

I learned that there were diesel powered airplanes (back in the days of propeller planes).
Just learned about a Soviet WWII bomber type that came in a diesel variant.
I knew that dirigibles were usually either steam or diesel powered, but not heavier than air aircraft. |

| Canada is sending 4 tanks as well. No idea what kind, if we built them or bought them from the USA, but Canada is also on the list. The USA is sending the most, IIRC, and overall it's something like ~60 tanks headed to Ukraine. When I heard that number I thought "In the grand scheme of the wor... |

Here is the song mentioned a couple of pages up. Complete with the offending word still in.
Spoken in the same two breaths as 'maggot' and 'slut', its hardly noticeable. Silly censorship.

| I would rather have change given to me in front of me, rather than in my hand. Unless the cashier lady is kind of cute :P I do understand the black person's irritation----with not being treated as an equal human being with a white person.

There's a second disease of dictators, if they're belligerent and aggressive, they eventually place themsel... |

The opposite of optimism is pessimism.
The opposite of cynicism is idealism. |
