I am surprised they haven't come up with their own Truth font instead. "Everything is written in Truth".

Just a note with the Bash encoding method. It should be with the -n option:

  $ echo -n "abcde" |base64
Otherwise, without the -n, echo injects an extra newline character to the end of the string that would become encoded.

"Others still have reported that the internet outage could be circumvented by connecting through a virtual private network (VPN), giving a hint of where the wider problems lie, and suggesting that Virgin Media’s outage, like that at Facebook in 2021, may have been the result of a flaw in the deep-level routing systems that allow internet services to connect to each other."

In no part of the news article mentioned they were actually admitted into the building. They were just standing around outside in the cold waiting for who knows how long. Nothing happened. This is literally about nothing.

I empathize with those remaining with a H1B, they would be worried sick. They would have less choices and would otherwise have less of 60 days to find a new job or to leave the country.

To put it in context, P&O Ferries has always been UK based and flagged until it's sold to a Dubai owner in 2006 and it's reflagged to Cyprus early 2019. That opened up the opportunity for this to happen.

All the routes are contracted by the UK government. I'd say the government should have reviewed the contracts back in 2019 and done something to ensure the UK based staff are protected. But as we have observed the last few years the government has been rather distracted and incompetence at the same time. And now the horse has bolted.

Can the reversers be opened independently on left and right side? From some of the 3D plots on various threads it looks like the plane took a sharp left before diving. Could it be the left reverser malfunctioned or be accidently opened mid flight causing the plane to swirl left and lose the aerodynamic?

It mentioned the lawsuit was filled at the Tverskoi District Court. Is it equivalent to a US district-level court, say, Court for the Southern District of New York?
