From what I’ve read of a Type 45 destroyer, it is an exceptional anti-air platform. Not that an actual engagement would have been a good thing but I reckon that bar a majorly significant barrage of anti-ship missiles, she’d eat anything the Russians have in that theater for breakfast.

He is a total and utter lunatic and I’m surprised he lived this long TBH. There is a documentary about him called Gringos that is pretty eye opening.

To me death by some type of virus would have been more ironic, but oh well…

Thinking of you mate. Fingers crossed more survivors can be found.

Like Mascot, thinking of you mate. Particularly if your gf’s ex is shown on national tv later saving kids from under the rubble.

I mean, I really hope everyone survives but at the same time I hope that if he rescues any of them that he’s got a really small penis.

She assures me it is tiny. Anyone with biceps that big and eyes so blue is certain to have one so small.

Tornado in southeast Czech Republic (close to border to Austria).

It’s well know that there were no construction standards prior to 2000, which is why Hurricane Andrew in 1992 was such an expensive one (anything it touched got destroyed). It is also an open secret that the regulations put in since, both for new builds and to periodically review old construction and bring them up to standard, are rarely followed. I don’t mean to blame the residents, but there is definitely a psychological thing where everyone is waiting for someone else to treat it seriously before they do.

There is also the cost/who pays issue, especially in medium/high density blocks, where the individual flat owners and the building owner often battle in regards to who is responsible for the costs, just look at the cladding fuck up in UK after the Grenfell fire - a lot of buildings got flagged as having cladding that was not up to standard and needed to be replaced but many of those buildings still haven’t had the works done as the flat owners won’t pay for it as they claim it is structural so up to the freeholder and the freeholders refuse to pay for it saying it is up to the flat owners.

For sure. Especially with the cost of real estate in South Florida, especially miami beach. There is no space left to build so all new projects are tear downs. All this has produced an attitude of no one doing anything to sustain or modernize their building in the hope/expectation that they’ll be bought out and saved the hassle.
