Wop May: Legendary Aviator and Lifesaver ✈️❄️

Wilfrid 'Wop' May served with distinction in WWI, famously surviving a dogfight against the Red Baron. Postwar, he pioneered northern bush flying & in 1929 delivered life-saving diphtheria serum to Fort Vermilion, Alberta. In 1932, he played a crucial role in the manhunt for the Mad Trapper of Rat River - aerial scouting assisting RCMP. 🇨🇦 #Canada #History #WWI #WopMay

"The endless slaughter of Ukrainian and Russians must stop.

We should some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes."

Been playing with powder coating, this is fun, and deceptively easy. There are some defects which I’m going to work on with my technique but as only my second time powder coating and this time doing a 2 layer test (mirror black as a base coat, then cosmos clear which is what gives the sparkles) I’m rather impressed at how much easier this is than I assumed it would be

习包子死了,中国就会变天变好么?
未必,比如千呼万唤之后,伊朗哈梅内伊终于死了,然后呢?伊朗正能量很快有了新的核儿心。
但习包子死了,就是先实现的“一个小目标”,因为它死了,变天变好才有可能,这是一个必要非充分条件。
且不说包子自己指望的150年,就像川普剩下2年胡作非为时间都极具危险一样,包子多活一天,都是国人岌岌可危的延续。
周处除三害……这“三害”人选,大家各有揣摩,反正我铁定要选习包子这头。

I uh just want to scroll through a PDF without some shit popping up on screen. is that ok

I don’t need the toolbars to distractingly animate into view all the time

I don’t need the page counter to appear… most of the time actually. definitely not literally every time I do anything at all

I need double tapping to feel native. I don’t know how you fuck up double tap to zoom in an iOS app

From NYT, The Morning:
In Republican states, officers from agriculture depts., gaming commissions, fish & wildlife agencies have been deputized by ICE in an effort to expand Trump's deportation campaign.

Gee, you wanted to help fish & wildlife, lose your immortal soul.

It's a funny old world

Precisely. All that matters to the hardcore cultists is their next fix of #MuhLibruhlTears.
