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).

Aukus had a less than immaculate conception. It was conceived in secrecy and born in haste, a tribute to political opportunism and a travesty of disciplined planning. The enthusiasm of theatrical announcements notwithstanding, it was in trouble from the beginning. The US Navy had serious doubts about both the ability of US shipbuilders to deliver submarines in any workable timeframe and the ability of the Royal Australian Navy to integrate and operate them. That was not a question of trust but of capacity – on both sides.

And, of course, experienced and well-informed Australian defence planners rang the warning bells from the beginning.

You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy

And then he went to Salon ?

Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help

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.

They're scared. Don't let them off the hook because it's hard

That's weird. The bluesky links in the article work fine for me, and I don't have a bluesky account.

Ahh hang on, this one doesn't work but all the rest do

Ahh here we go: it's a user made setting not a bluesky one

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)
