Having visited London, this is categorically true.

Like there's no reason you'd want to live there. The food is better elsewhere, the buildings are mostly old and haven't been renovated, there are no attractions to visit that aren't easily outshone by stuff you'd see in other cities on the list, and you have to deal with being in close proximity to the top Tory members.

Everything made more sense to me once it was revealed that the City of London is a separate entity from the city we know as London. The City is the one part they care about and everything else can rot, and with Brexit there became even less of a reason to be centered there.

Speaking of royal-watchers, apparently Canada has formally announced that they are buying F-35s. Expensive, but looks like they were tired of the will they won�t they dance of the last several years.

In the first 10 years of operation. the F-16 was costing the American Taxpayer around 18 million per airframe. 143 had been destroyed, and 71 of its pilots were dead.

The A-10, 17.2 million per airframe, 59 had been destroyed and 26 had died through miss-identified friendly fire incidents.

The F-35, at 50 million per airframe has now been flying for 15 years, and is one of the most controversial planes in existence. Critics constantly cite it's spiraling costs.
And yet, in 15 years of flying the F-35 has lost 4 airframes, and killed one pilot, making it one of the safest planes flying today.

But if so why is the plane so controversial?
In this video we briefly examine the Woozle effect, the effect by which the media, and those that cite the media, simply quote each other as a source without ever truly fact checking if what they publish is genuine or not, and have, for years, been unintentionally broadcasting Russian propaganda as factual claims about Americas new fighter jet.

They have their own police, separate from the Met eh? It's wild. Also, they have some weird financial arrangements so "for some reason" several elements "allegedly" part of the international arms trade have offices there, near the guilds.

It's not their fault, they aren't a real country, just a no-man's land used by consensus of the great powers of the time as the place they'd meet to resolve their differences by force of arms, a bit like another place we're seeing a lot of in the news lately.

Not just trapist, their beer is just really good in general. There's a lot more sweet Belgian beers, and just beers with flavour instead of bitterness substituting for flavour.

�RFE/RL opened its new office in the Lithuanian capital on January 10 in what the U.S. Congress-funded broadcaster called its "latest step in a comprehensive strategy to counter pervasive Russian disinformation and reach new audiences with trusted, independent news and information."

Hell. Yes.

Hmm, in my entire life leading up to this war I never heard of Kyiv... there's this other city called Kiev though...

Around 2014 my entire family in Ukraine quit speaking Russian and started speaking Ukrainian exclusively.

This leads to hilarious interactions where even though I speak Russian that they understand perfectly, I now have to use google translate to talk to them.

I think this is a pretty dumb slapfight. I think we can all agree that the NYT has a lot of pro-Ukraine bias in its reporting on this war.

"slapfight" is always the term used to both-sides one exceptionally tedious poster dragging everyone else down to their level and making GBS threads up the thread because of it.

Sure, but it is the same poster getting into slapfights over and over again. That said, I still think it's important to have someone itt who is pushing back on thread consensus so just let it happen I guess?

Pushing back on the thread is fine.

Making up things that nobody said and then pointing out how they're wrong should be mocked relentlessly, or ignored. Either way it's worthless outside of whatever entertainment value you can squeeze out of it.
