      Hope Majid is safe. Network blackout in Iran for the past few days.

      It's been a long hard road for many Iranians since 1979. Hoping for the best for all Iranians.

        Musk has opened up starlink satellites for Iran, So the military is looking for starlink antennas.

          Perhaps the Russian 'window' thing could be exported to Iran. Demonstrate the technique on the regime leaders, might make a decent wake up call.

              Probably the way those who disagree with the powerful seem to 'accidentally' fall from high windows more frequently than you'd expect ?

                  Sorry, wrote this up and forgot to post it. Tired? Nah, what makes you think that??? Lol.

                  G'day, the Russian window thing is the events that followed senior Russian 'actors' upsetting putin, they either fell out of conveniently missing windows on high level or in one case from a balcony her apartment had no access to. High up figures in Russian government/military.

                  There was also the para military feller who halted his military push on Moscow and then had the misfortune of his private jet, colliding with a handily close anti aircraft missile in flight.

                  Perhaps Iran is short on high enough windows?

                      Agreed, that there 'glow in the dark' tea is not your standard 'Camomile'.......

                      Ditto the Dissident actor Alexei Navalny

                      While held in the arctic gulag he apparently died of a heart condition.

                      It seems there are a lot of dick taters in the world and while one group are apparently waning, the others are definitely gaining ground.

                      What the freaky Friday is going on with the water?

                              There is definitely something in the water, I should possibly stick to beer perhaps? No, I know it has water in it but boiled at least.

                              There are some fungal brain infections that can produce similar results but wow, even then, the current situation is extreme.

                              Are there NO brakes on the conduct of people like these?

                                I suppose it seemed like I may be referring to the conspiracy theories that are abundant. I was not talking about that but am more thinking of the psychological mass trauma and geopolitics

                                  Sorry if I missed your direction of thought. With the geopolitics of the current times, dicktaters are more prevalent.

                                  trump is also distracting the eu and NATO from the Ukraine situation let alone others.

                                  trump got in post partly due for his statement about "No more foreign intervention" Well, he has not stopped interfering in foreign events and seems to be ratchetting up his efforts. Does he see himself going down in history as a knight on a white charger?

                                    I used to Hate trump very much, But after what I am seeing what is happening with the importation of people with beliefs that will never be compatible with western culture being let in en-mass including UK ireland and the Eu with the mayor's on New York and London being Muslim. Along with asymmetrical police action especially in the UK with asylum seekers in the UK being put up in 4 star hotels and being fed 3 meals a day whilst British veterans are homeless on the streets, makes me angry like nothing else. If it takes action like Trump then so be it. The western world is being systematically invaded

                                      I have to agree re the uk and eu. eu law states asylum seekers MUST be returned to the first safe state they arrive at. In this case Greece and parts of Italy. Not properly assisted by the eu. IS the uk government inept and incompetent? Yes.
                                      When I left the regular army in 1983 I wanted to go to university. Despite military bases overseas being sovereign soil and we still pay uk taxes I was told "You cannot go because you have not lived in this country long enough".
                                      I am told by the nhs that I cannot have treatment unless I go private because "Veteran treatment should be paid for by the MoD".
                                      I have no gp/family doctor because I got sick of being laughed at.
                                      The honest truth is that I am waiting to die. What with the other crap life brings us all, I hope not too long now.

                                      I am not depressed, nor mentally ill. In the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper, "I've been tested". I also have a very active sense of humour which is handy because we ALL need to Giraffe, EVERY day or risk the alternative. I nice hotel room with soft/comfy wallpaper and stripy sunshine. Read that back and looked out of the window, this is the uk ffs. WHAT sunshine?????

                                      Now, WHO do I have to pay to put some manure in the fuel of the dutch f1 driver, no names or pack drill?

                                            Long may it remain that way. There are always 'things' that keep us rooted in reality and knowing there is always someone worse off.

                                            I come here to 'meet' fantastic people and being invigorated in my hobby. The thing that keeps me going.

                                            I am more grateful for all of you than I can say.

                                            I have communicated my displeasure to the builders of the current pc and it will be going back. At some stage I will be AFK because the previous pc backup is now deceased.

                                            Hopefully not without kit for long.

                                            Keep on keeping on, only game in the Sol system.
