Re: Big mistake..
"The fatal mistake that they made was to attack Russian bank accounts, by the sound of it..."
Not as such... but they emptied at least one account they had better left alone.

Horse named 'Cloud Computing' finds burst of speed to beat 'Classic Empire' in actual race

Re: pet food
Nothing wrong with horsemeat; it's actually quite delicious. Of course it is a scandal if horse meat is sold as beef as you're being ripped off.
Traditionally, Rheinischer Sauerbraten is made from horse meat. Although it's been slowly fading out of fashion for quite a while now. I understand it's rather a problem on the supply side; not that many horses end up at the butcher's these days.
The area around Solingen is still pretty big on all kinds of horse-based foodstuff; maybe it has something to do with all the knives and cutlery they make. Here's a menu, click on "Unsere Pferdefleisch-Spezialitäten".

Bye bye MP3: You sucked the life out of music. But vinyl is just as warped

Yes, I used to buy special polysomething liners for the inner sleeves. Some of my friends insisted (for some time, anyway) on playing their records "wet"; basically you'd mount another arm with a sponge that would flood the groove with water that had it's surface tension reduced by a "special additive", i.e. surfactant, i.e. liquid soap. One of my friends even had some sort of washing machine.
Anyway, I've got some records second hand, stuff that you can't get on CD or as a file, which are extremely dirty; I'm considering to give this a try: Clean old records with wood glue.
Oh, and before I forget: TDK SA-90. Still got boxes of those on the shelf, each with two record albums recorded on it.

Re: I rather suspect
The cleaners have to have access to the cockpit.
You know, those highly trained, hand-picked specialists that got their security clearance after a robust and thorough vetting process who are paid so well that trying to bribe them is futile outsourced guys on zero hours contracts who'll switch jobs in a heartbeat at the mere chance of landing a gig that pays minimum wage, working shitty jobs for shitty companies whose rate of staff turnover are so large that they'll hire anyone who stands still for long enough to stuff them into a cheap polyester coverall.

Re: a more nuanced and accurate explanation of why you can't readily build a Saturn V
"Notably, the plans are only part of the build - the plans are predicated on a whole supply ecosystem that no longer exists, ways of making things (eg welded rocket motors) that have been utterly superceeded, and rely on the skills of craftspeople who are long retired."
Also, all those Nazis with slide rules are long dead.

Japanese researchers spin up toilet paper gyroscopes for science
Monday 15th May 2017 04:10 GMT
"In the laboratory environment, someone whose habit was to pull on the roll four times would be correctly identified 92.5 percent of the time."
But surely, the amount of paper used is a variable? (Maybe not for #1s, but certainly for #2s.)
Also, there would be a lot of other parameters to be taken into consideration. This week's menu in the cafeteria. Make of the toilet paper, especially when procurement keeps changing it. Office parties. Hayfever season(s). Holidays associated with typical foods. And so on. We're deep inside non-linear territory here.
