Wonder where does it come that:
“Cleared for the visual, report three mile left base for Runway 31,” becomes “Cleared to land, 31”
or
“Line up and wait” was interpreted as “Cleared for takeoff”
Maybe I fly too little as a private pilot but I can't imagine those interpretations happening.

Since Threads is still available only in selected countries - most importantly blocking Europe - it can't be taken seriously.

Fascinating
How do Europeans keep ice off bike lanes? Salt?
Tractors and snowplows. Salt kills the bicycles and salty slush is much worse to drive in. Hard packed snow is actually the best to ride on.
Interestingly Oulu bike roads clearing contract states the company doing the snowplowing can do inspections only on bicycles, not cars :)
It's arguably a continuation of MK-85, which if you go mad with soldering could be upgraded with enough RAM and disk to run UNIX V6 or V7 - as the pocket "programmable calculator" had essentially MicroPDP-11/73 or MicroPDP-11/83 on a chip, including the MMU.
And the CPUs weren't clones, they were in-house design by Elektronika that had to adapt by decree to supporting PDP-11 instruction set and Q-bus.
Loved my MK-85, did a lot of BASIC programming on it as a kid. Using pixel graphics you could do even games. I think the demo game it came with was horce racing jumping over fences.
The West has been fighting spammers for years; and now we're encouraging spamming?
Yup. In war you have to do whatever it takes. In addition to direct SMS we should think how to better mass email and call Russian people as well. Let’s do it!
