In Russian if you protest against the war it’s a prison sentence, if you call it a “War” on social media or in public it’s a prison sentence, if you resist the conscription it’s a prison sentence, if you disobey an order to fight in Ukraine it’s prison sentence, if you surrender to Ukrainian forces when you are returned to Russia it’s a prison sentence; that’s why they are leaving.

A total power grid outage is very rare. Normally the power grid protective circuits would start to selectively turn off portions of the power grid or rotate the blackouts and brownouts in the grid to keep the entire power grid from failing. With a total power grid failure, it would take a very long time to bring up the entire grid because of the power demand on start-up and again tripping the power grid when trying to bring it up.

There is an emergency restart protocol with the major power consumers, municipalities and emergency services. The restart will be implemented in phases with sections of the power grid starting first before restoring the entire power grid.

@uraverageguy832 The rare atmospheric phenomenon the Spanish electric company is blaming is a sun flare causing an electromagnetic surge on the power grid power lines tripping the grid. Funny no other European country reported a disruption due to the sun flare.

Other news outlets said that the renovation work on the bridge was given to a local electrical appliance company and that the young people on the bridge was trying to sway the bridge side to side before it gave way and snapped the cables.

@remouter1594 Old Russian proverb; “In the lake of lies there are many dead fish.” In Putin’s ocean of lies there are many dead Russian soldiers.

The Russian police have blank conscription notices and if the protester is male and within the age range for conscription they will demand the male protester’s draft card with military info and will just fill in the conscription notice, since the prison sentence is up to 10 years to resist a conscription notice.

Putin must be paranoid with the assassination of one of his loyal military inner circles. A cabal of oligarchs could be chipping away his loyal military generals and replace them with their own loyal generals to get to him. Oligarchs have been falling out of high-rise buildings or mysteriously died in accidents if they shown any rebellion to Putin.

"More Clear-Air Turbulence From Climate Change Raises Safety Concerns...Research indicates that climate change exacerbates clear-air turbulence...Researchers from the University of Reading found turbulence rising over busy airspaces like the North Atlantic, where the annual duration of severe turbulence had increased by 55% from 1979 to 2020. Moderate turbulence increased by 37%, and light turbulence increased by 17% during this period. Other flight routes over the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and the South Atlantic also significantly increased..."20 Nov 2023 Forbes.

History repeating itself, the Ukrainian people protested against the Putin friendly President Viktor Yanukovych and ousted him from office. Looks like the Georgian people are revolting, since like Ukraine, Putin took some of their cities saying it was a peace keeping effort; like the “Special Military Operation” (SMO) in Ukraine.

One Russian mob family taking over Putin's mob family. All the mobilized conscripts are in Ukraine, the Wagner mercenaries will free their fellow Russian prisoners to join their ranks.

What blew out was the plug to cover the extra hole in the left rear of the 737 Max 9 for another door. The Max 9 can be configured for long haul flights by removing some seats and installing another rear door for extra food carts to move on to the plane faster; on shorter flights you have more seats and less food to carry.

@Sashazur If you look at the video, the place where the blow out occurred had seats next to it. If the door was there, the seats would have been removed and an aisle way would have been there; it was a full size door, not a small door over the wing.

@Sashazur For short flights you add more seat because you need less fuel onboard. The short haul flights have the narrowest seats; the airline makes money by volume and turnaround time on domestic flights. On long overseas flights the planes needs to carry more fuel. Most long haul flights are for tourist destination and carry more luggage, meals and have more comfortable seats for the long flight.

Japan has the world’s most ageing population with rapidly declining birth rate. Japan hasn’t the manpower to invade other countries unless they invent autonomous military robots to occupy territory.

@williammagnusson8394 In the video it said Japan was expanding from a self defense force beyond it's needed force to match NATO requirements of matching % of GNP.

@williammagnusson8394 No. They are not just for self defense or being neutral. Sweden is no longer a neutral country since joining NATO. Japan like Sweden will send soldiers outside of their country's borders beyond self defense.

The Ukrainian military is fighting a coordinated two front campaign. In the east, they have cutoff the main railroad and highway network from the Russian’s main logistic corridor from Belgorod in Russia. The Russians heavily rely on the railroad network and will now have to utilize secondary roads using their limited amount of truck transport to re-supply their isolated forces. In the Kherson Oblast, the Russian troops have been isolated with their backs against the Dnipro River with no bridges to re-supply their isolated forces. There is an old military saying; “Amateurs talks about battle tactics to win a battle, military strategists talk about logistics to win a war“.
