#Austria Lousy, being ostracized in one’s own country!

Yup the Pentagon and CIA are too involved in movie plot lines.

I've been making pens! Here are three I turned on my mini lathe recently, the woods are (from left to right)
Bolivian Rosewood
Cocobolo
Macassar Ebony
(Buckeye burl in the works, it's gorgeous)
Each one is made with different embellishments, slightly different widths and grips, and an increasingly refined process as I make more!
The refills are by Cross, and if I can find kits for fountain pens, I'll definitely want to try my hand at making those too! These are really hefty and dense and have great balance to them, so I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out!
After looking at this data
https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint
one wouldn’t feel bad traveling short-haul flights in comparison to land based options.
There are three factors that go into the carbon footprint while traveling:
And then there are personal factors like:
Considering that on average air travel is always the shortest option among the rest, the hypothesis would be that carbon emissions on that factor would be equivalent.
Let $a, b$ be vehicles. Let $c_a, c_b$ be carbon emissions in g/km with $c_a > c_b$ and $d_a$ be the distance bound to vehicle $a$. Then
\[d_b = \left(\frac{c_a}{c_b} - 1\right)d_a\]is the allowance of kilometers for the vehicle bound to $q$ before a carbon equivalence is made.
Another factor is the capacity amount of passengers, let’s say that the average short-haul flight has 180 passengers, the average long distance bus 60 passengers and the average long distance train 2550 passengers (30 cars times 85 passengers). This quickly solidifies that traveling by train is the cleanest option. Assuming each vehicle is fully booked.
Let’s extend the upper equation with passenger count denote with $p$. Then
\[d_b = \frac{c_a}{c_b}\frac{p_b}{p_a}d_a\]is vehicle’s $b$ allowance in kilometers before equivalence.
In conclusion, just because it seems like a vehicle is carbon emission wise worst off on a g/km basis, does not have to mean that case holds up for the complete trip.
What was the US doing with all these labs in Ukraine? The Russian military has a take on it. It’s not outlandish and bears some thought for serious people.

If accurate, this is very concerning. #BioResearch in Ukraine was it bioweapon research? The Russian MoD certainly thinks so.

🇺🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦 American economist Jeffrey Sachs: “Ukraine will disappear from the map, or a third world war will begin”
Among the well-known Americans who disagree with the official White House version of events in Ukraine, a serious addition: the economist Jeffrey Sachs has warned that the conflict in Ukraine will not end with the defeat of Vladimir Putin. “Ukraine will disappear from the map, or the third world war will begin,” he gave a forecast of the development of events during the Free Thoughts on the Future conference.
It is noteworthy that Sacks blames the West for starting the current conflict, saying that there is only one option to end hostilities - NATO must admit that it will not expand at the expense of Ukraine. The arrogance of the Western military alliance, which refused to take into account the demands of Russia to ensure its security, is the reason for the outbreak of hostilities in the center of Europe. And if the West really wants peace, Sachs believes, it needs to end the war against Russia, not on NATO terms, but with Moscow’s interests in mind.
