Oh 6 RAF jets just intercepted a Russian Aircraft heading towards the Scottish coastā€¦

RAF Lossiemouth tweeted: "At no point did these aircraft enter UK sovereign airspace.

ā€œThe Russian aircraft were shadowed by our Typhoons, along with (Quick Reaction Alert) aircraft from our NATO partners in Norway and France.ā€

It added: ā€œWe are ready to respond to any unidentified aircraft and potential airborne threats, 24/7/365.ā€

Last month, RAF jets were scrambled from Lossiemouth after reports of unidentified aircraft flying towards UK airspace.

The aircraft, thought to have been Russian bombers, were spotted off Shetland.

The bombers were not intercepted as they remained outside of the area considered UK airspace.

thereā€™s no fucking way the picture on the right is 1900 calories.

Itā€™s also like 10x more expensive than the one on the left.

I guesstimate 1200-1400 calories.

Las Vegas trip report, condensed version:

I am awful at craps but luckboxed enough poker to finish only slightly down on the trip. Cigarettes and cigarette smokers are the fucking WOAT. Coronavirus is going to be everywhere in this town in like 2 weeks, because people are disgusting. My body hates me but I had a great weekend.

Yoga classes that end with sound bowl meditation are really nice, fwiw. I donā€™t believe any of the healing vibrations bs but itā€™s really a wonderful, relaxing experience.

Iā€™m not drinking snakeoil even if it tastes good.

I eat raw bell peppers almost every day as part of my lunch, not getting the hate there. Red, orange and yellow ones fuck green bells

Do we have a Senate thread yet?

Coronavirus is killing this forum.

Pretty sure it was Biden, but sure, that too.

My impression is that a big enough subset of posters are posting mainly about it that itā€™s drying up most everything else. But itā€™s still just a subset of regulars. Traffic may not be down because of itā€¦yet.

We mostly talk about whatever is dominating the news. Last week it was Stupid Tuesday and we crushed all previous records. This week itā€™s Corona. Next week it will be the coming recession.

And by April weā€™ll all be sitting home under quarantine and broke so weā€™ll have lots of free time to play walrus.
