  • IIRC they need to fly the cold war jets like this - below radar - as their electronic capabilities are too bad, so a more modern russian jet could launch a missile at them just before the old Ukrainian jet sees a threat.

    That is one of the reasons Ukraine urgently needs more modern material like enough numbers of F-16. While also being not the most modern jets those at least have some decent radar capabilities and can also be used as interceptors for air defense.














  • A lot of places overheat the milk until it becomes “construction foam” (Bauschaum). That would explain the bad taste.

    I’m frothing milk at home when I want a cappuccino, so I put it into a metal vessel and hold the vessel with my hand during foaming so I can feel when the milk is nearing 80C (feels uncomfortable)

    But as coffee goes, everyone has their own taste, so if you prefer cold milk - you do you. (I have another friend who likes the milk scalding hot, close to boiling - when she’s visiting I’ll make her coffee like she prefers, even if my mind goess “THIS IS SO WRONG”)


  • I’m a German (currently even on vacation in the US). The political world is so crazy the last years, the authoritarian vs liberal segregation infecting huge parts of the world.

    The Harris vs Trump race is one that fills me with hope and fear all the time. (We Germans have some history with right wing failures who get into political offices)

    I hope Walz, the new vice president candidate will be an asset to win the US elections. Those have ramifications around the world.

    In case Trump wins, even if we can still hope it won’t come to an authoratorian regime in the US, the orange old man would be an end to multilateralism, putting the world into a state like it was before WW1.
