Some might remember the travelogues of Tom Scott on youtube and then they ended. Why? Prohibitively expensive travel, plus the difficulties of international now, plus we were just not putting much into the coffers.
However, he has reappeared, has Tom, which makes this about Chris interesting:
I’d say we all, within this travelogue lovin’ sphere, appreciate any of this sort of thing … there was one who used to travel Britain’s roads … but it’s not without costs to the guy (or gal). Anyway, here’s this week’s from Chris Spargo:
What Chris discovered was that the power required to actually lift off was so great that he was cream-crackered thereafter, in the air. The Russian Ecranoplan discovered that too in that they needed engines just to lift off, which could then be shut down until the landing.

2. Though it’s summarised at OoL and Jstack
… some more details gathered last evening and this morning on the mise à jour (Fauci in this one):
1. DAD at 1454
a) Manchester Mayoral Elections. Final result declared after first and second-preference votes counted (JH: It’s not clickbait, I assure you … it’s utter disdain for the Labour cow and the process).
b) Not Just an Invasion—but Surrender. The mass crossings at Ceuta and Melilla expose the consequences of a political class that has traded border security for ideological commitments.
c) As in the rest of Europe, cultural enrichment has brought to Austria a new surplus of various forms of crime, especially the violent kind. And the response of the state broadcaster? To ignore the statistics, and pretend they don’t exist…. (JH: followed by sheer poetry).
d) German chancellor Friedrich Merz is facing growing pressure from within his own Christian Democratic Union (CDU) after a government reshuffle triggered fresh criticism of his leadership, while new polling suggests the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has widened its national lead.
e) Green Hydrogen is a dirty word and no one wants to go to the Fiji Climate Conference. More signs that the climate change movement is on the way out.
