I did that, I now have two masters degrees in aerospace engineering instead of one for the same number of years and have a crazy fun year in the Czech Republic.

10/10, I would do it again (except I don’t think my liver would survive that anymore)

It’s great news, making access to contraception easier is always a good thing.

You are being downvoted but you are asking a very legitimate question.

If Russia nuked a NATO country, what would really happen ?

Would the US respond ? It’s extremely uncertain, especially with the recent election of space Karen and cheetos.

Would France or the UK respond ? It’s a big question and a big discussion is happening currently in Europe.

France nuclear doctrine states that their nuclear arsenal will be used of France’s “vital interests” are at stake. Is Europe part of France’s vital interest ?

This is specifically why France developed their nuclear arsenal under De Gaulle.

De Gaulle believed that the Americans could not be trusted to defend Europe, he was afraid that if the Russians would attack Europe with nuclear weapons the US would not defend us.

If there is a peace agreement they will station troops in Ukraine to prevent another invasion.

Here is the electricity mix of the Netherlands since 2017

A coal bbq could work too and most people have one already, you can use it with wood as well.

Even better, you can use a barbecue chimney starter as a kind of rocket stove.

He has some level of clearance due to the work SpaceX is done but even there, he does not have access to some of SpaceX program because he could not get the right level of clearance

There is a French movie about a similar situation : The Wolf’s Call.

the French military command detects a nuclear missile sent from Russia towards France, they send the order to retaliate to their submarine but … (I am trying not to spoil the whole movie, people should watch it. Even though it’s from 2019 it is very fitting with what is happening now)

I first read it as “Trump will retaliate to Poland’s proposed removed tax” and I thought that yeah, it’s totally something that could have happened.

A lot of F16 parts were manufactured in Europe as well, it was part of the deal to buy the aircrafts.

I’ve worked for multiple aerospace companies in Belgium and Switzerland that were manufacturing f16 parts.

You don’t understand, tariff is promoting the emergence of American made alternative, by next week you will find American grown coffee and bananas in the supermarket.

Canada is avoiding Trump’s tariffs by not becoming a state.

They are not paying the tariffs, american people do. So by joining the US they would start paying all the tariffs that Trump is putting on China’s products, European products …

Thanks, I’m saving it in case I get lost one day.

I love that Herzog made the documentary “My Best Fiend” AFTER Kinski’s death.

I’m fascinated by this director and the actor.

They hated each other, were constantly fighting to the point Kinsky almost killed Herzog but they still shot 5 movies together in the most impossible locations.

At one point one of the native chief they were working with offered to kill Hinsky. Herzog declined the offer because he still needed the Hinsky to finish the movie.

For Fitzcarraldo they bought 3 similar 320 tons steamboat. They actually pulled the boat uphill manually without any special effects. Then in the scene were the boat crashed in the rapid they actually crashed the boat on rapid while filming inside. Half of the people involved in the filming of this sequence ended up injured.

Two plane crashed during the movie … Honestly I fell like what happened behind the scenes of the movie is even more fascinating and dramatic than the movie itself.
