How practicable would it be to park a hypersonic glide weapon into a Geosynchronous orbit and then give it terminal guidance instructions when required?

This article on Advanced Squad Leader was just posted over on the interwebs

Interesting story about the PM and his interaction with one of his MPs. Tangential to the overall story, but still relevant. And this on International Women's Day

Though not a fan of the late Mr Bowie, I had the utmost respect for him and his music.  Some of his songs really appealed to me.  Especially this one

Thank you for sharing this.  I had no idea that Neil Peart went through such heartbreak.

Successful women are not necessarily feminists. #FeminismIsCancer

Are there any other kinds?  :whistle:

The Prime Minister is returning to Ottawa.  Story here.

Back on track: these allegations have filtered into the US media and my US comrades have been asking me about it.  I get the same media they do; I can only explain our system but have no specifics.

Fox News is roughly 50/50 on pro/anti Trump stories. People read his tweets for themselves. Unlike the opposition, he's not telling the electorate that they are chirping from the cheap seats, or that he's the boss. Au contraire, he tells the electorate that they are the boss. But I get it. ...

You're right. As President, exactly what the US needed.

I saw it twice.  Same both times.  And both times, the cinemas were to capacity. And it's the first time in many years that I saw people applauding after the film ended.

But it is a demotion. There are roughly 650,000 veterans in Canada.  There are roughly 36,700,000 Canadians.  That is roughly 1.77% of the general population.  It may be an important portfolio, which is why there is a cabinet minister at the top, but don't kid yourself into thinking that it's a...

Hey, thanks!  I really liked mucking about with this. Of course!  :cheers:

Well, I *do* drive a Dodge Charger and live in the South, so.....

Agreed.  Their sense of humour, their shenanigans, how they mugged for the camera, etc, was all just like today.  And their comment on the sedentary civilians having to be made into shape.  And I guess their tooth brushes must have been used to clean their buttons.  Ha! I think the reverse is...

The guy who wrote that article very obviously did not stay to watch the final bit with Jackson speaking exactly about that. Oh, wait, he did.  And he still doesn't get it.  And the critic can frig off and go make his own frigging film.  I guess anyone can be offended by anything... Anyway, I...

I was hoping that this problem involved crossing the river, so that I could explain how I was going to build ramps and run the APCs on them at full speed to reach the far bank...  ;)
