It is terrible in many ways given that very few of us need to navigate a boat internationally nowadays, but using the Robinson projection to show only North America would make the whole thing slanted and I didn’t see anything else with subdivisions available :(

The Serbians had me make this map at gunpoint

Technically you’ve already been in it

(but more seriously, loads of non-EU countries are eligible for Eurovision)

The latter, unless the gunner is particularly incompetent. Hydrogen is just really difficult to contain

I mean yeah, but they were getting shot at regardless of whether they shot back or not seeing as they were there to reconnoitre and bomb stuff. But yeah apparently the dorsal guns couldn’t always be used because of leaking lift gas

France has a counter-ballistic missile called Aster, but it doesn’t seem like Ukraine has many of them yet

The IRIS-T missile is about half a million euros. Estimates for the Kh-101 seem to vary widely from about a million euros to over ten million, and I have no idea how to tell who is more likely to have guessed right. Either way, probably a good trade even before you consider the target that didn’t get hit as a result

While I don’t know where to find any solid records of them ever actually shooting anything down - there are a few scattered comments about one plane being shot down during the Tondern raid, and others about Alan Arnett McLeod VC getting shot down by one in 1917, but I can’t substantiate either - they did have guns on them. To take the Zeppelin P Class as an example, those had eight MG 08 machine guns on them

While they probably shouldn’t actually put it on the article themselves, they can submit it to Wikimedia Commons or even just post it somewhere public under a creative commons licence

This must never be changed

Given that the nature of the interference in favour of Georgescu was an influence campaign, surely letting him run is just letting the interference happen? The effects of it don’t disappear just because you do a second vote

Would a remote killswitch for something aboard a submarine even be technically feasible? Radio waves don’t travel through water very well

That’s kind of them! But you will probably need to replace that car in the future

I’m not trying to tell you that you absolutely must learn manual. Whether or not it makes sense to do so basically just depends on your personal circumstances. I learned manual, but I live in a country in which automatic gearboxes were pretty rare until quite recently and I enjoy driving (much as I support replacing most driving with public transport). I just wanted to bring up the second hand market as something to consider

One other thing to add that I don’t see mentioned yet: if you can drive a manual, you have more options when buying second-hand cars. How many more options will vary depending on where you are, but if cost is a significant concern then it might let you get a much better deal

Apparently our national men’s team is ranked 48th, in between fellow basketball titans Senegal and Sweden

I guess we don’t really have a British equivalent that is a household name recognisable to non-fans in the way the Williams sisters are. We’ve got a few men who fit the bill, but that obviously doesn’t work for the question. If you need to name a woman that everyone immediately knows is really god damn good at tennis, one of the Williamses is probably gonna be the go-to regardless of where you ask

That’s probably the best bet for us regular folk, but the problem is that she probably knows that she really doesn’t need to go anywhere near as hard as she could to get every serve past us

Other fun stuff from the same poll:

• Scots are the least likely to think they could do it, and also the least likely to say “don’t know”. We know where we stand apparently
• 2% of 65+ year old people think they could do it, although 2% is getting well into the territory where it could just be insincere answers

Probably not a tonne of people responding to a British polling agency’s survey play basketball, but otherwise yeah. If we go by viewrship figures for the men’s final at Wimbledon, a little over an eighth of the country watches a game of tennis once a year

They certainly can in terms of “they’ve built these systems for their own aircraft”. Germany is in the process of upgrading some of its Typhoons to replace its old fleet of dedicated electronic warfare Tornados, and France has got EW stuff on the Rafale. I’ve got no idea what sort of scale the systems are available on or how easily they could be adapted to Ukraine’s menagerie of equipment though

Damn, nice work on that. Flyout takes a bit of figuring out, but it’s really cool once do. How did you go about making the texture for it? I assume it’s a bunch of decals. They look great.

I haven’t played all that much and definitely haven’t made anything that looks as polished as this, but I was quite happy with the hypothetical successor to the De Havilland Sea Vixen that I made
