There are 8 Chinese and 0 Russian vessels in US waters, none in Greenland.

It seems like an eternity has passed, but it hasn't even been three years since I published two free 21-day courses on OSINT automation (Python and Linux), and Gitpod is no longer free. Therefore, I added notes to the course repositories on how to take them in Github Codespaces.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

You see all of London life in that MaccaDs. On one late night run there was a group of young women at the counter to pay. The one who got nominated to pay lifted her dress, pulled her credit card out of her knickers, wiped it on her friend’s coat and then tapped it. I’m still in counselling.
