Similar story here: wife - who was born in America from Belgian parents and thus 'accidental american' - lost friends because "Hillary will take away our guns", and just for that one reason broke contact. This is how insidious misinformation is...

Yes, by a force that required a huge - and often neglected - logistical push by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to transport men, material and supplies thousand's of miles... but I'm sure you are very well aware of that!

Pretty amazing stuff! To anybody still wondering why you need STEM studies, I think the Oosterweel project is a nice example that shows how wildly different specialties are intertwined and work together. IT, Civil , Nautical, Oceanic...to just name a few.

Me thinks the Argies did back in '82 ...tried to conquer a piece of land (well some islands actually) in a couple of days to distract from internal problems and play the nationalist card. Started with some anonymous green men if I remember correctly. Please remind me how that turned out for them?

There's no denying that!

To put into perspective, I remember a time when if - as a man - you weren't wearing suit and tie, you weren't allowed into first class. Was in the late 80's, early 90's, so not that long ago really. To this day, I still wear jacket/suit and tie when flying for work even if in cattle/monkey class.

Yeah, it's like learning that Kim Wilde turned 65 last week!

Exactly ... and where are a large chunk of the assets currently? Belgium has been taking quite a bit of flak for that lately. Anyway, as stated, plan is bonkers

Wait ... are profits of EU investments also to go to the US?? I know every sane person knows this plan is bonkers, but can I just say: this plan is totally BONKERS!

Oplossing specifiek hiervoor is nochtans eenvoudig en bestond vroeger: speciale Genie eenheden bestaande uit reservisten, komende van spoorbedrijven, ingezet voor Spoor mobiliteit. Past perfect in verhaal MilMob. Voorbeelden legio in de ons omringende landen zoals 504STRE(POWER/INFRA) in UK.

Als je kijkt naar spreiding zou je denken dat in Catalonië en Baskenland er toch een hogere concentratie is. Is natuurlijk alleen maar speculeren op één -onvolledige- kaart, maar toch al tekenend.

Ah yes, the same Hoekstra who made himself very popular as ambassador in the Netherlands ... Funny fact: he was actually born there but moved to US when 3 years old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOEI...

Hmm...als ik goed begrijp (en cijfers Wikipedia betrouwbaar) zou een equivalente volume LNG goed zijn om een STEG centrale van +/-450MWatt, een goede 100 dagen te laten draaien. Veronderstellingen: LNG heeft 1/600ste volume van gas bij 1 ATM (bron Wikipedia) en verbruik centrale 22.000 m3/hr.
