Will Putin do a bunk if things get iffy? He has a 'hideout' right down on the Kazakh/Mongolia/China border intersection.

(he could always ask Biden for sanctuary )

This could go so many ways, none of which I feel will be peaceful?

Feel bad for that 19 year old youth, whole life ahead of him.

That submersible thing again - just been reading that the youth was bricking it and didn't want to go but felt he should as it was for father's day.

Have to say I'd have physically restrained my father if he'd been trying to get in that thing. Knock him out if I had to but not a chance I would have let him do it let alone go along with him.

Have you seen the way the 5 inch thick carbon fibre tubular hull was made?

Just a linear wrap of carbon fible, not even laying the carbon at angles to each other, mental.

[Lawrence001]

You don't mean it was just carbon fibre wrap on a plastic hull? Now that would be crazy. Ok on cheap speakers but not a deep sea submersible.

I'd be interested to know the fatigue effect of repeated dives on carbon fibre. I imagine it would weaken each time so it was a ticking time bomb.

lots of possibilies open up for lots of people.... i feel itll likely go bang like a damp squib tbh. he has no real chance of doing much more than he has done..
either its to fool the ukrainians or he just wants to die in the motherland

They just said on the radio there's a convoy heading to Moscow on the M4. I can't see that getting far with Sukhoi Frogfoot and stand off attack helicopter attacks. Sounds like the road to Basra again to me.

I was shot at by a sniper while at work. I wasn't in a union though and in fairness it wasn't really the employer's fault.

When the police arrived he shot at them too so I don't think it was personal.

Were you working as a police hostage negotiator at the time?

Were you working as a police hostage negotiator at the time?

I was working at a car rental place in the ghetto. After being shot at the cops came back with Heckler & Koch and an Alsatian. They sent in the Alsatian to do the negotiations, but the bird had flown the coop.

Is that true? You wouldn't buy plywood with the layers having the grain all running in the same direction.

first thing you learn making glass fibre boats is several changes in direction of the fibre.. i'd imagine carbon fibre to be similar. there is also titanium in it but dunno where, and a dod of perspex up front which apparently buckles inward under pressure. it wouldn't surprise me if it gave way first. the owner said it makes a crackly noise before it goes, and you need to head up fast
