“If” by Rudyard Kipling, has been my go-to poem over the past two years. Well worth the read!

🚨BREAKING: A South Korean soldier has been killed after suffering “external injuries” near the North Korean border.
Military and civilian investigators are trying to determine how the soldier died 😬 Whoa.

Russian hackers hacked Ukraine's danger alert system, thus sending out false alerts that nuclear weapons were being fired.
Ukrainian hackers have returned the favour and hacked Russia's Emergency systems, saying that nukes have been fired towards Russia
3 seperate nuke warnings in 4 hours in 3 seperate theatres of war is pretty damn wild!
🚨#BREAKING: Tucker Carlson claims Trump is considering a nuclear strike on Iran within days under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Well my Costco adventure wasn’t too bad…$600 later. Alcohol is so cheap and who doesn’t need 1kg of pretzels…and dried Mango chunks…and…and…
Hmm anyone know if a Costco membership is worth it? Kinda fun to shop in a warehouse, but not sure it’s a saving?
This pretty well sums up what likely happened, but it’s early days, I’m sure there will be a thorough investigation by the FAA. Horrible crash 😥.
This Learjet crash sure looks like an icing situation. They were at 37,000 feet over a thunderstorm and suddenly started descending. There's a transcript of ATC calls that mentions the icing.
Ice accumulation is faster on tightly curved surfaces. The tailplane is basically small wings, which means tighter curves, so ice accumulates on the elevator at the back. The ice makes it less effective, you have to apply greater control deflection to keep the nose up, and then you run out of control authority, or push it too far and stall the tail. The nose pitches down and you pick up speed, exceeding limits of the aircraft. The horizontal stabilizer may have been torn off during descent, it would have an IAS of over 400KIAS at this point. That's over the 340KIAS limit. Mach number would be about 0.88, and when you factor in turbulence the stress on the airframe is even worse.
So, I expect the horizontal stabilizer didn't come off until the overspeed condition.

🚨 BREAKING | A source who attended today’s closed-door talks in Qatar between Iranian and Qatari representatives told me: “Nothing is moving. Iran hasn’t budged an inch. The Iranian delegation now in Qatar is made up of people who can’t even decide what they’re allowed to eat. So they’re going to decide on a deal with the U.S.? Both sides know where this is going. The only question is when Trump decides, and how. Everything else is already settled.”
According to the source, Iran is showing some flexibility over the Strait of Hormuz, but is making far-reaching demands even there.

Some more footage lands of a vessel struck in the Hormuz - vessel yet to the identified.

I’ve come to the conclusion that anyone asking #grok a question in their comments must be a bot, they all ask the same stupid stuff almost verbatim.
