    Yeah well both fellas (teacher and friend) were from/in Victoria so it makes sense they had footy right up with the rest. From what I remember, it was a lot more playable rather than watchable....I've never tried watching it heh. Its too eclectic a game for that I feel....definitely for what...

    For sure bro. As a trekkie myself, I always cracked up especially when I heard the line in Weird Al's "white and nerdy" song: "the only question I ever thought was hard....was do I like Kirk.... or do I like Picard?" 🤣 For me I pick Picard as the GOAT because I grew up on TNG (along with...

    tbh its same thing here in Canada overall. Soccer (as we call it) just isn't that popular in the national consciousness. No real enthusiasm. (Ice) Hockey rules the roost here and basketball + baseball are super popular in the States as well. "Football" here to begin with refers to NFL/CFL...

    Entirely the first thing that popped into my head, in a good way. This is great name selection in the end, as there is lot of soft power in this name just by this scene alone and "Wrath of Khan"! With Istikbal or something like that, I was thinking essentially another nickname will arise over...

    Yup I mentioned this drone integration aspect before somewhere as huge force multiplier for any AF to get started on ASAP. Machine learning will take it to another level on top for sure.

    OIC isn't that big a deal anyway. Haven't seen anything it's really accomplished. Even Muslim on Muslim strife within OIC is large, just look at what Iran did in Syria for example to ensure Assad prevailed. What was the death toll there....so sad. Yemen is another one ongoing now. Then in...

    If its really the case with Bangladesh, there would be nowhere near the amount of BD tourists that come to India each year (more than 2.5 million per year before covid pandemic).... and growing long term the way that it is doing by leaps and bounds. It can be compared to any other country you...

    What is dauntless or fearless in Turkish though? Should go with TF. AK will just cause some confusion with Russian firearms etc.

    Yup, clean sheet start is best for Turkish turbofan programs given the radial compressor here. Radial compressors have sweetspot reasons at this size, but their disadvantages grow considerably if you want to scale up the engine. Both the investment in cross sectional area (per compression...

    TR News Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is granted Nuclear status

    Yah but it only becomes economical (reactor side) with heavy water as the moderator. Heavy water is a sweet spot area for neutron transparency (while still slowing them down enough for fission with the U-235 present), so you can essentially "flash" U-238 (regular bulk uranium) to turn into...

    TR News Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is granted Nuclear status

    Since its an IAEA safeguarded reactor, back to Russia for reprocessing as is done with IAEA closed loop agreements till Turkiye has its own IAEA safeguarded reprocessing facility (which makes little sense at this early stage of just a few reactors to provide for it). Spent Uranium fuel (since...
