Aye, and there’s also the IT related power station problem recently. Without going 100% tinfoil hat, is there some outside interference linking these issues?

Fuel stabilizers can allow it to last longer. You just need a couple of fuel tanks and adequate labeling. Testing your system can deplete it.

Work in healthcare. We have generator support for the whole site and fuel for 7 days. We have had instances in the past with the generator not starting when required. There’s a monthly test now, running for 3 hours. When the monthly test was first started we had a lot of issues which we had to...

Interesting that the US is now acknowledging 400+ injured personnel. I suppose it’s reasonable to assume these injuries aren’t minor cuts and grazes.

I don’t see how the US could cover up mass casualties. The WSJ article suggests the Bahrain installation was evacuated early on. Damage to strategically important and expensive infrastructure is highly embarrassing for the US though. I think there has been a degree of radio silence about that...

I know who the person is, however I didn’t speak to them first hand. I can’t confirm if the damage is new or previous. It does sound extensive. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-us-naval-base-bahrain-e87bbca3 Original article is paywalled but can be read, at least for me at this link...

Speaking to a colleague today who has a friend living in Bahrain. They say that 2/3 of the buildings at the largest US military base there have been destroyed. This doesn’t seem to be being reported in the UK media. I suppose there could be concerns about being accused of offering targeting data...

Does Donny not believe he‘s running out of missiles…? Incredible. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/12/politics/us-weapon-stocks-depleted-iran-war

I think the heat and humidity had a huge impact on how the game was played. More like an endurance test which England won. Haaland looked like he could barely stand up when he was taken off. For the semi Atlanta has A/C.

It’s the teams responsibility to send out a safe car. Loooking for performance gains RBR have copied the Ferrari rear wing element but seem to be struggling to make it work properly. RBR need to make a decision, the old wing was working fine, will they revert to that spec for Spa?

In other series the teams are told to fuel for potential additional laps, the BTCC does this. If they want to chance it then that’s their prerogative, the F1 teams already have far too much information, throwing a spanner their way now and then is a good thing. Doing that wouldn’t resolve the...

I really hate the red flag procedure being used just to provide a green flag finish. It feels like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Some other options. Rather than waiting for unlapping Indycar tells lapped cars to fall to the rear of the snake if it’s <10 laps from the end of the race. The BTCC...

Drones are part of the picture but that’s all they are. Drone and counter drone technology is going to be an important part of the defence budget going forward. However it shouldn’t be at the expense of completely losing current proven capabilities. I think it’s as dangerous to assume that every...

Russia is spending ~7% of its GDP, ~30% of the federal budget on defence. You can do a lot with that, especially as in home grown tech the Russian militaries relative buying power is very high. The population has accepted deaths of 500,000 in the Ukraine war. Putin hasn’t even fully mobilised...

All new schools should have solar, batteries and HVAC. OK it’s a cost to install and maintain but in summer when the cooling is getting a workout then the solar should sort out the energy costs. Comfort has been demonstrated as making a large difference to productivity. How are kids supposed to...
