Lol. That is exactly what prompted me to comment

Yep, those are the subs in question. A poor substitution at the time when it would have cost less just to swap to the French nuclear subs they initially offered

That's interesting. I hadn't noticed that. It's entirely possible, but then that would have been during the Biden era so all bets are off with the Fanta Felon in office

Yep, unless the Brits can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

At least he gets to blame Morrison, and Macron already called Scummo a liar to his face so there will be some sympathy (albeit along with a lot of schadenfreude)

The French have been getting a lot of "I told you so" in in the last 6 months, particularly the "have your own MIC don't rely on the yanks"

Huh ? Your source for the top (ww2) plane doesn't show that pic. It has a skull with "axis nightmare"

Main reason I clicked because that pic is not at all typical of the art seen on WW2 planes.

They looked more like this

Pinups on ww2 planes

They (CIA) couped Whitlam for trying to regain control over Pine Gap, nothing to do with mining, that was just Rudd (and I'm pretty sure the CIA was uninvolved in that knifing, that was just naked ambition over coming morals).

Ahh yes, another "it can't be done perfectly, so subtext, you shouldn't bother at all"

An imperfect boycott beats no boycott. Do your best initially and then keep working to improve it.

It's demographics. Linux contributors & maintainers skew heavily to the older end of the spectrum (and, although not relevant to this point, also skew heavily male).

People who can contribute time to a project for free tend to be older because they are financially and career settled by the time they hit 50s. Raising a family tends not to leave a lot of spare time.

Context for those who are baffled (I was)
