The first nations youth center here has a mural of typical plains Indians on horses with feather headresses and bows and arrows - straight out of a John Wayne movie. Except we're in the Pacific North West and these are coastal Salish people.
I suppose it's no different from a school having Spartans as their football team.
No they are big fans of the helicopter names, some tribal leaders even blessed the latest one
It turns out that having the army naming attack helicopters after you because of your fearsome reputation in fighting the US cavalry is way cooler than a web server.
>. Ask the Califormians about floods and water - ..., in Australia, and 2021 in Europe (somehere in Germany or Belgium
That's punishment for their sins.
California is notorious for wearing clothing of different fabrics, Australians throw shrimps on the barbie, Germans love a pork sausage and we don't need to mention what Belgians do.
But how could you possibly find domestic terrorists now that everyone has perfect encryption and communication security ?
Even weirder in the land of the weird - you accrue sick time
Since you can never take this, because they can fire you if you are sick, you get paid out for it when you leave.
For government jobs you end up with cases where somebody has worked there for 30+ years and has a few years of unused sick leave which is paid when they retire - so their final year's salary is 3x their normal salary. Since govt salaries are all public there is always a scandal story by certain news organisations about a school janitor or binman refusal disposal operative "earning" $200K pa
>It hasn't totally crippled Russia, as they can still trade with China, but China? Their economy is incredibly reliant on the west.
Russia has also been a lot more self-sufficient and people used to it being a bit shit. Things maybe got a bit better after the USSR, at least for people in Moscow/St Petersburg, then maybe got a bit worse recently. And Russians are used to this - as long as the Vodka lasts.
China went from peasants, to mass starvation, to things getting a bit better, to things getting a lot better - if you could move to the coastal cities.
If you are the great leader responsible for millions of people going from owning nice cars and knock-off luxury handbags back to being peasants you are going to need a really good security force.
Added to which, abstracts are specifically written to a format to have lots of specific searchable terms so they are found by the readers and appear in the right abstracts and indexes.
It's like giving an accounting statement for a fictional company and saying an accountant couldn't tell it was made up.
So air-persons subscribe to messages about specific routes and destinations?
The messages are short and consist of abbreviations that nobody outside the club understand.
I'm thinking of an entirely stable and reliable commercial platform that provides this sort of capability at scale.
And emoticons on NOTAMs would be fun
After the slightly silly renaming of fishermen to fishers (they were always trawlermen in Yorkshire so are now presumably trawlers)
They could rename anyone who flies a plane as "airs" or perhaps "airers". Or since there are no longer any flight engineers or navigators or radio operators - couldn't it just have been "Notice To Pilots" - again except that it would have involved changing a lot of forms
And were known as Notice To Air Men for 70years until somebody noticed it was sexist.
There was then a long and involved process to come up with a new pronoun freindly version that wouldn't involve changing lots of software and paper forms
Plus "Air Missions" makes you think of Top Gun while flying a 5am commuter flight to Minneapolis
Look, I was just trying to configure pairing with my new Bluetooth equipped smart pee-sensing toilet and I slipped = it could happen to anyone
