и еще на военно-морскую тему: UK nuclear missile test fails for second time in eight years “We are confident that the anomaly was event specific, and therefore there are no implications for the reliability of the wider Trident missile systems and stockpile.” - конечно все в порядке, ясное дело. вот даже BBC подтверждают: Mr Shapps said he has "absolute confidence" in Trident's submarines, missiles and nuclear warheads. смех там без конца и без края... удивительно, что русские про это не пишут, даже в lenta.ru

- На вашем месте я бы даже на передачу не рассчитывала.
с кино тоже провал: Dangerous Liaisons (TV series) (2022) - чудовищная дрянь, снято на коленке, играют как в худших нынешних русских фильмах, в общем я с трудом выдержал полчаса. посмотрел целиком Framed (1947 film) тоже не без некоторого напряжения, более чем заурядный нуар.
а вот в NYT статья Why Are You Seeing So Many Bad Digital Ads Now? и там верно пишут:
Major social media platforms are now “like the mall in your hometown that used to be the good mall, but now there’s no longer a Macy’s there — it’s just a calendar store and a place selling beepers.”да не так ли дело обстоит и со всем остальным. там же - очень познавательная статья When Did Hospitality Get So Hostile? с цитатой их самой Дерриды: “How can we distinguish between a guest and a parasite?” the French philosopher Jacques Derrida muses in “Of Hospitality” (2000).
и статья про хаос в Берлине Repeat Election in Berlin Speaks to the ‘Chaos’ Many Residents Feel написана совсем без симпатии к немцам, и фото там соответствующие.

Deliveries of Lockheed-built aircraft started in August 1961, and domestically produced airframes began to roll off the assembly lines in December. That same month, the first of an eventual total of 292 West German F-104s had crashed. -- Wikiтам много интересного в секции Safety record

кто-то будет расстрелянCitigroup made a huge mistake last summer, when instead of transferring an $8 million interest payment from Revlon to its creditors, it transferred nearly $900 million of the bank’s own funds — the full amount of principal on the loan that wasn’t due for another few years. Some creditors promptly returned $400 million of the mistakenly wired money, but 10 others refused to return $500 million. The dispute ended up in court.Yesterday, unexpectedly, a New York federal judge said the firms could keep the cash, despite acknowledging that the money had been transferred in error.
"To activate MOSE a bigger forecast is necessary," Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro told the Italian news agency Agi....
