Yes please - Join GCAP Canada. And our friends down under. https://www.ft.com/content/d664b704-56a5-4b00-b34c-8da39e82a2a9?shareType=nongift Canada pushes to join UK-Italy-Japan advanced fighter jet project Canada is lobbying to be admitted to the UK, Italy and Japan’s joint advanced fighter jet development programme, according to three people familiar with the matter. Canada wants to participate in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) as an “observer”, the people said, in its latest attempt to distance itself from the US and strengthen ties with other trading partners. A Canadian government official told the FT that Ottawa’s efforts were part of its attempts to “diversify d...

**TL;DR:** I’m a mechanical engineer/manager in Shenzhen, China. Seeing that some US startups get crushed by "Automated Quoting Systems" and high local prototyping costs for good quality and low volume order, maybe you, just like me, are shocked. This guide covers how to get **H7 tolerances**, handle **Z-axis weakness**, and source **COTS parts** directly from the source without getting burned. \--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **I. The Reality Check: Shenzhen is more than just "Cheap & Fast"** Some US engineers see Shenzhen as a "quality lottery." You’re not entirely wrong, but the gap usually come...

I was reading the Skulduggery Pleasant Phase 2 rewrite by u/vesuviusblotch and decided that it would be a good creative exercise to do the same, only in Phase 1, so here we are, hope you enjoy! Who knows, maybe if all goes well, I'll actually end up writing this up one day! **Sceptre of the Ancients:** *Part 1 - The Suicide of Gordon Edgley* The opening of book 1 remains the same, with the key distinction being that Gordon's death is written as a suicide, not a heart attack, because he was found in his office with his throat cut. Stephanie was the one who found his body. She still meets Skulduggery in the funeral, and the will reading goes about the same(since it's pretty m...

\[Translated\] Among the recruits, there is a particular category: prisoners. The first to come up with the idea of offering freedom to those who survived was Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, who was killed in 2023. The Ministry of Defence quickly followed suit, emptying the prisons of tens of thousands of men. In Novosibirsk, Sergei Yulin and Maxim Ovchinnikov are among these men. In 2017, they raped and murdered 19-year-old student Kristina Prikhodko. Her father, Grigori, was assured that they would serve their full sentences. Yet both men left to fight in 2024. This only adds to the father’s grief – whom we met in the Siberian capital – though it does n...

**Executive Summary:** The Iran war has exposed a widening gap between Beijing’s claims of military-technological superiority and the apparent battlefield performance of air defense and counter-drone warfare systems linked to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). PRC state media has amplified Iranian disinformation and shifted attention to supposed U.S. strategic weaknesses, rather than confront failures in Iran’s air-defense response to U.S. and Israeli strikes. The unexplained removal of multiple defense-linked academicians from the rosters of top scientific institutions has fueled suspicion that failures in overseas battlefield performance may be intersecting with deeper problems...

This drama has just started airing, but it seems to be receiving quite a bit of criticism from audiences in China. Complaints range from the baby general portrayal to concerns about how certain scenes, particularly those involving sexual assault, are filmed with overly stylized beauty shots. A common comparison being made is to Princess Agents, with many viewers feeling that this drama does not capture the same level of charm, intensity, or intrigue, especially when it comes to the cast’s overall presence. The female lead Huangyang Tian Tian, who is 18 now and was even younger during filming, has been criticised for coming across more like a baby general rather than someone with a comman...

THE DEBT MATRIX The Hidden Web of Global Debt: A Journey into the Shadows of Our Financial World.... Imagine a colossal machine, humming invisibly in the background of our daily lives, powering economies, governments, and corporations alike. This machine is fuelled not by oil or electricity, but by debt—an intricate web of promises, obligations, and illusions that binds nations together in a perpetual dance of borrowing and repayment. Yet, few of us truly understand its workings, its perils, or the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. As we delve into this shadowy realm, prepare to uncover how countries have amassed unprecedented mountains of debt, the profound implications for ordinary...

The power delivery is much stronger now, and the throttle response is significantly improved However, the 0-100km/h time hasn't changed much, likely due to the CVT's limitations. To keep the CVT safe, I’m only running a conservative 0.3 bar of boost. I've also installed a dedicated water-to-air intercooler system to manage the heat. 

JD Sports UK had a restock this morning, lucky to get a pair. Building a nice collection

Full disclosure: I work for ZIQI (the brand in the pics). You might remember my post about that piping project in Vietnam. I’m a field engineer, so I spend most of my time on new VSD+ installs now, but I was back at a client site in China today for a routine audit and ran into this absolute beast. Nameplate says Sept 2014, so it’s pushing 12 years now. It’s an old 22kW (30hp) model. As you can see in the pics, the place is filthy—thick black dust everywhere and I highly doubt the filters get changed more than once every blue moon. The belt guard is gone, the casing is grimy, but the airend sounds surprisingly smooth and it’s still holding 115 psi without a hitch. Only regular oil...

I booked a round trip from Munich to Seoul with a short layover in Beijing and back, all in one booking. One week before I'm supposed to leave they canceled the flight Seoul - Beijing and therefore Flightnetwork (where I booked) canceled the entire journey and they are already getting a refund from AirChina. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for me to get my money back?

Yesterday I heard about an aircraft carrier ship sent by the chinese government towards Taiwan’s borders (politics aside). Considering speed, altitude and the air route covered, could this be a chinese surveillance drone?

Your Chief Purr-ologist from WebSEOMarket here. A question worth sitting with: what do a voodoo curse, the Chinese motor industry, and the man dubbed "the unluckiest person of the year" in all of China have in common? Not some poor soul who lost the lottery. A billionaire. A serial entrepreneur. Someone who sold his first company for $2 billion. In 2019 - the owner of a car company that was simultaneously burning, sinking, and going bust. His name is William Li. And this story is ...

80 years after WWII, France and Germany are openly discussing a joint nuclear deterrent. Germany broke its debt brake - politically unthinkable for decades. The EU launched joint defence financing, a taboo that couldn't even be discussed until recently. Crises force the progress that consensus prevents. And right now, Europe is being forced. But the contradictions are just as real. Europe imports 98% of its rare earth magnets from China - the components inside wind turbines, electric vehicles and fighter jets alike. When Beijing introduced export controls in April 2025, deliveries collapsed by 75% in May and automakers across Europe had to halt production. Hungary still sits at the EU...

My overthinking got me to purchase another kitchen item. I get in these zones where I think about something, that turns to over-obsessing and doing a ton of research. It can sometimes last weeks or even months until I find something I'm satisfied with and I purchase it. The worst was a toaster… I spent months doing research because all toasters work pretty similarly and it was insanely hard to find one that was reliable and toasted even that didn’t have much plastic in it. The latest purchase like this was the Wonder Oven. In my search for an air fryer that doesn’t have plastics to replace my mostly plastic and Teflon Gourmia air fryer I came across it. It has a lot more uses and...
