Doesn't look very damaged. Explosives aren't particularly effective against a lattice of steel beams, since the pressure isn't contained. I wonder if thermite would be more effective.

This is true. However it's wise to set up your pieces in advance, for the next decades.

"Thanks for attending to this." - all of the meaning, minus the template text.

That's it. I'm convinced. These are two apparently conscious beings having original thoughts, exploring the nature of consciousness from their own and others' experiences. This is human-level intelligence. I have a question. Could entropy ever be reversed?

Why would Putin poison his top asset?

So we've got just under a week until that rotates under us, right? Is it meaningful to compare its height or volume to past flares, to get an idea of any impact?

That appears to be a fire behind a fuel train.

They blocked petrol (gasoline) exports recently, so their refinery capacity was already insufficient to meet domestic needs. Presumably they will import refined products from their partners, at higher cost and with logistics delays.

The father of the Cambodian PM and the father of the Thai PM were old friends that have fallen out over a new casino that the later wants to build on the border, threatening the income of the old border casino belonging to the former.

Nope, definitely billions. 25 million Kms would be a fraction of the distance to Mars orbit.

Ok but did they really have to call their AI-powered networked autonomous weapons system, Skynex?

No, see that apostrophe-d indicates the conditional because it's a hypothetical. Analogies, they're covered in the Junior Cert.

Bold of Forbes to assume their readership can't see the non-comparability between an assessment of value and a measurement of annual output.

@jenniferrankin.bsky.social "The censure vote... could reveal discontent about her way of running the commission and aloofness from the parliament, the EU’s only directly elected institution." I look forward to the Guardian referring to the UK parliament as "UK's only directly elected institution".

Many tanker aircraft on their way from US to Israel, some via nearby Morón airbase. Maybe carrying jetfuel to replace Haifa refinery hit by Iran. Or may indicate imminent US joining war to attack Iran's deepest nuclear site, which requires multiple hits by US's heaviest bombs.
