Part of it is definitely income vs cost of living, but part of it is, for want of better terms, maturity and financial literacy (numeracy?). As a port retirement gig I did background investigations on people seeking gaming licences. A lot of them were young people, often still living at home...

I think there is a risk in assessing Australian police response and tactics through a Canadian or North American lens. As far as I know, all uniformed police in Australia, including NSW, are armed. I couldn't find any reference regarding patrol long guns. Most police services here didn't...

Technological advancements is indeed a continuum. True in everything from buggies to steam engines to flying machines. I think there is some risk in expecting that some kind of linear 'Moore's Law' advancement works equally in all situations, or works at all. Back in the day, Popular...

There may well be. I don't know if any of the CL-x15 fleet are optimized for rough field work as suggested. I'm not even sure if they are set up for cold weather operations. In a couple of posts you've moved from making life for the pilot easier to self-flying aircraft. The "much is being...

So they can board and seize a large tanker, but apparently not a small open outboard?

Maybe that's the way Canada can realized its goal of 300,000-odd militia; Make them all archers. Train every Sunday after church, give them each a bow (or better yet, teach them to make their own) and a quiver of arrows. It would all fit in a closet. Armouries could store more arrows...

Continuing on the theme of 'the USA and the world': Trump Administration Wants the ICC to Amend It's Mandate to say it won't prosecute Trump. The US doesn't even recognize the Court. Sure sounds like something a rational person would ask...

When are we not?

Soo is the solution (1) restore MH operations under the RCN or (2) give up on ship-based staffed aviation?

According to the USGS, the US has about 220Mn tones of known reserves (and admittedly I get confused between 'ore' and 'recoverable product'). Apparently not all is profitably recoverable. Even at that, it seems if they could get at all of it tomorrow, it would only supply their demand for...

We cut our mechanical teeth on Austin Minors and MGB Midgets. My first real motorcycle was a Triumph Bonneville. Never leaked a drop of oil and never had any trouble with the Lucas electrics. I should have had it bronzed.
