“Drones cost a tiny fraction of advanced weapons like fighter jets. “If one gets blown up you can take another one off the shelf and keep sending them against the Russians,” said Stukalov. “That is what the future battlefield is becoming.”

Yet Canada is committed to spending billions on F35s. When one goes down, there isn’t another one. Despite 30+years nurturing Canadian military aircraft, or maybe because of it, I ask: if the future is drones, why spend money on the past? If we spent billions on drones, what could we NOT do?

So, what to do it? I think you have found the best solution; use your VPN on mobile all the time. This means you will do more captchas, but you will have more access to sites.

My VPN , Private Internet Access, uses its own DNS server, which translates urls to actual IP addresses. Your phone may be using your mobile provider’s DNS server, which may be blocking access to that IP adresss, while your VPN’s DNS does not block it. Your desktop system is likely using another DNS server, setup by your internet service provider.

One person can have multiple flights per year. Its still a huge number considering the billions in Asia who never fly.

Empty Weight of a Boeing 747 is 325,660–336,870 lb. (wiki)

It carries 4 turbo-fan engines, each of which weighs approximately 12,000 lbs. (also wiki)

So the 747 weighs at least 27 times heavier than one engine, on average. ( iOS calc)

It’s Bowmanville, Ontario.

“Due to the ongoing construction of the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre, the long-standing venue at Clarington Fields is unavailable.”

What is with poiice crime shows on every channel, all the time? I mean you lads made Money Python, Red Dwarf, HHGTTG. I know David Attenbourough filled a lot of time with un-depraved scene. Billy Connolly is not available, and Russel Brand is unpalatable, and Ricky Gervais used to be funny in a sad way.

Are Britons so depressed that only the most twisted and obscure motives for grusome crimes can entertain them?
