In a seminar, we once had to calculate the cost of an F35 jet. It was a group work and the groups arrived at vastly different numbers - because it depends what you include in the calculation. There is not one correct number.
Useful reminder how difficult it is to correctly calculate the cost - and the benefit - of counterdrone measures (as well as other defence systems).

We went to a Parisian museum the other day where the staff could only check tickets but not sell tickets so we had to buy them on our phones outside in the rain (and of course you had to create an account etc etc) and I really thought I was going crazy.
today in We Live In The Future And The Future Is Stupid: went to a pub to inquire about a potential room booking but the staff aren't allowed to process those in person so I am now sitting in the pub, writing them an email to inquire about a potential room booking
