As usual, weight is driven by Calorie in - Calorie out. If it's positive you gain weight, if it's negative you loose weigt.

Your brother is a tall, young male, all of that would point toward a relatively high calorie out also without knowing him in details it's hard to evaluate. There is always that person taking desert twice when out, but skipping lunch on regular day while doing a lot of sport.

What do military need that the civilian airport do not have ? True question. Sure the grass trip airfield where hobbyist fly may not be suited for military use, but I would believe that in larger airport, most of the facilites are at least existing.

Then comes the part LOL is a popular and well known brand, so doing something even remotely linked to it will drag an audience. Remember how the World war Z movie ignored the books but paid licencing fee for the title (and the associated _brand recognition)

You can make a movie/serie out of any content, and LOL was (is ?) pretty popular. Yes OK may-be a farming simulator the serie won't be that great. But if you have some basic setting, and some factions competing for power you can develop in any direction

Social reproduction of the elites. Which is the advanced version of kids do the same job as their parents

Getting with parents with money and connection is a huge cheat code. While some people have to work to pay their rent at university, some other have their parents buying them an appartement. Guess who can afford to volunteer in a political party, do art or develop software on the side ? Some people do have family with connection which means they'll be able to meet the right person to finance their project while many other stop at this step. It's why it's hard to join the elite when your family isn't part of the elite for multiple generations.

And many immigrant end-up at the lower-level of the social pyramid, their kids grow up with parents who have no money, no connection, and sometimes don't even know the language. which make them harder for them to climb the "social ladder" a generation latter their kids don't have nay kickstart, so it's not surprising that very few are represented in position in power, even if their family has been around for over 100 years. And without any surprise the one who do often have been part of the elite before immigrating.

8 month? That's a pretty severe sentence for doing some noise while protesting, we're closer from kids throwing stinky balls or a spray painting tag on the wall than from actual terrorism

No idea how law works where you are. But having a folding table might require some different licencing compared to just standing up and giving pamphlet which in democratic countries is a right.

On this regards, I think that the french doctrine since De Gaulle is right. US never protected Europe but their own interest (in Europe) (and to be fair, you could say the same about any country).

And indeed, I've been hearing all my life about the need for an European army, and nothing as really moved, and it's a pitty.

Next week Airbus CEO telling that the sky is blue once you're above the cloud

2-3 month unemployed, is the opportunity to take a break, move with some personal projects and take the time to find a nice job. Also it's typically covered by both severance pay you got from your previous job and unemployment insurance. So it's not big deal financially speaking (while resigning from a job you hate would make you loose your unemployement rights)

In civil aviation the 737 Max is just a 737 with a newer engine. Still requested a lot of re-design on Boeing side, and ended-up with the whole MCAS scandal.

I really doubt that you can just mount a M88 on a Grippen without a huge retrofit project. Is that possible ? May-be. Is it gonna be cheap ? Nope

Focus on university course over "private certication" which are often full of bullshit and paid by companies anyway. The foundation you learn is what stays valid no matter what's the technique you use.

To give a word on agile, it's about having shorter development cycles and more intermediate release which are used by actual users. It works well in prototyping phase (when you have proper tools) and in software. However, many PM end-up making agile heavier more complicated/heavy than regular cycle with daily stand-up meeting and boards full of post-it. I would advise going in these type of projects without some technical background.

Also note that while project management looks cool (and is a way to grow your carrer quickly) it's a field where you deal with a lot of bullshit out of your control. A person is sick for the week ? How do your re-organize the project ? A truck delivering a critical part has an accident ? How do you deal with it The certification lab asks finds that your cable at the European fire safety norm but not the US ones (or the other way around ? ) adding two month delay to change everything ? How do you announce the customer that the final delivery is postponed due to some paperwork ? You often end-up sitting between the engineer knowing what needs to be done, the upper management cutting down the budget and the customer wanting more. So not a job for everyone

US aren't a reliable ally episode N+1,

I still don't get how is Telsa 20 times bigger than Toyota.

It's great thanks to Musk, Telsa could become a viable auto maker which in the current industrial context is already amazing, especially with production in place with expensive labour (Which is a great thing too)

However, it's not like other auto manufacturer would disappear from the market and it seems easier to add an electric system over an existing basis than to build a new car from scratch, let alone Chinese trying to enter the global market (and BYD is growing quickly in Europe) and Indian which will do the same at the point.

So not really a surprise that Tesla sales start to drop, especially when adding that nazi did good car isn't a reason to support nazi

Using Flux Schnell

In a post apocalyptic future, nature took over a large city, tree grows among few empty wrecked car. A magnificent deer crosses the street in the middle of ruined building. The street pavement is almost covered by mosh and grass. The picture somehow feels like part of the Chernobyl zone.

The scene occurs under a nice summer sky

Define "server"...

Every PC can be a server, it used to be common with earlier online gaming and VoIP apps like teamspeak to have someone using their PC as the server. Nowadays, with the cloud and light device like Chromebooks it feels like back in the 80's where there was a couple of server, and people would use cheap low tech terminal to display the console where they work from while all the computing power was located on the servers.

Main criteria is Has walk-in slots or relatively quick availabilities and is either close from home or close from work. This usually drastically reduce the option. While I am lucky enough to be able to afford "Extra-costs"and "private doctor" I would prefer to see doctor applying the legal cost and public hospital over private clinics, but sometimes going private means seing a specialist tomorrow rather than next week. (Or in 3 month for rare specialities)

Nowadays, most countries, have some form of centralized medical record, so if you consent to it, and if your doctor use-it (Public hospital most likely, private hospital sometimes, old 80 year old doctor nope)

Which looks like a bug rather than a feature, the level of deflation bitcoin has make it an usable as a money.

I am rather having regular raise while my mortgage stay the same thanks to inflation than seeing my pay diminish thanks to deflation while my mortgage stays the same

Not video gaming, but the Eclipse phase Rpg went pretty far in that theme, with cortical stack, clones, people living in Virtual spaces and more.

I would recommend the official Fate port, as the main system is way too heavy
