Belgian Air Force F-16 destroyed by fire during maintenance - Collateral damage on second F-16 - Aviation24.be
Quote:
On 12 October, Aviation24.be received more information on the incident: a technician was working on an F-16 when he accidentally activated the six-barrels 20mm Vulcan M61A-1 cannon of that F-16. The cannon was loaded and some bullets hit another F-16AM (FA-128). That aircraft had just been refuelled and was together with another F-16 being prepared for a (training) mission. Due to the bullets, the F-16AM exploded and damaged the other F-16.

Whoops.

Re: News Miscellany
Outbreak of typhus in Los Angeles, a lot of those affected are homeless. There’s a lot of trash on the street that no one is picking up.

I know the feeling. I'd suggest that's an entirely reasonable response.

Thx to Wikipedia, here's a 20mm Vulcan round, in blue, next to the normally considered giant .50BMG rounds and a golf ball. the Vulcan cannon shoots 100 of these a second.

Re: News Miscellany
It's interesting that they're finally admitting it straight on. Like we know they consider other races subhuman but the final step of 'me, me, me, I am the best, me, me, me' is to believe that no one else has an internal monologue or thoughts and are just robots performing a predetermined dance. Just look at the mens rights bullshit that seems to follow so nicely along with alt-right beliefs, that women are literal mechanical puzzles that if you turn the right dials, have the special potion and pick the right speech options, sex and a relationship will fall out. So many books have been sold on the idea that there's some magic set of cheat codes that will unlock the sex level.
I'm fairly certain Trump at least doesn't believe anyone else is really conscious and that he's the only one with inner thoughts. Considering how he treats his children, I'm not even sure if he thinks his children are real.

Jamal Khashoggi: Trump suggests 'rogue killers' to blame - BBC News
Quote:
Mr Trump addressed snatched questions from reporters over helicopter engine noise at the White House, describing King Salman's denial as "very, very strong".
"It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers," he added. "Who knows?"

I guess they waltzed right in and in between getting their paperwork done, they cut him up without anyone noticing.

I'm totally sure security at the Saudi consulate in Turkey is just that lax. What could they possibly have to worry about?

Foreign Minister Jos Valencia said in an interview with Reuters that Ecuadors only responsibility was looking after Assanges wellbeing, after the Australian national sued the country over new conditions placed on his asylum in the London embassy. (Emphasis added.)

The Reuters article says Assange sued Ecuador over basic houseguest shit like pay for your own phone calls and clean up after your own goddamn cat. Jesus Christ, what a dumbass.
