Star Link website. I've never visited the website before a few days ago, but I have naturally followed the project on distance during the years via other sources. Visiting the first time, I got to the page - like you likely do also : "Order Starlink". Tried to type actual address in "Service Address" also, followed by pressing the "Order" button. No sweat! : Even experienced autofill on this households relatively obscure address on the border between this city called Odense and its rural surroundings, the city being the third largest city in Denmark in the middle of nowhere [and tiny], to the west from Copenhagen, located at the center of the Danish island called Funen. You may perhaps know the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen better. This is the city, where he was born. Price Danish option "Own" [lowest configuration] : DKK 485.00/mo for service and DKK 3,400.00 for hardware. Price Danish option "Rent" [lowest configuration] : DKK 485.00/mo for service, DKK 112.00/mo for hardware rental & DKK 370.00 activation charge. [DKK 7 ~ USD 1]. - - - o 0 o - - - I would like to read here whatever thoughts, experiences etc. my fellow CoBF board members might have and would want to share in this topic with us all. Thank you very much in advance.

Be careful with what you are posting, @Luca! If you were mentioning the name you would likely be at risk for being called severely biased, based on your personal misogyny. It's great to a place to steam out here, right!?

I coulden't have phrased it better than @no_free_lunch above. Also : Wikipedia : Ukraine - Declaration of Independence. Please also here note which countries were among the first three contries to recognize this on December 2nd 1991 : Poland, Canada and ? ... Russia!.

I'm reading Roger Lowenstein : "When genius failed" about the rise and fall of Long-Term Capital Management as leisure reading by now. I have to say it's awesome! From the very start of Chapter 1 with the title : 'Meriwether' : - It fits this situation perfectly, too! Once you have spent as much as just a few dollars as a state or institution on supporting Ukraine in this situation, you are beyond the point of no return, you are bound and forced to continue to average in on the situation. It's not like Asterix in Britain at tea time : Youtube : Asterix in Britain: it's tea time!. - - - o 0 o - - - Quite evident to me that it feels worrying, disturbing and upsetting for members of CoBF to think about this!

Who do you think this real estate situation in Canada combined with the interest rate increases evetually is going be a pitty for, @Viking [and others, too] ?

The above is not correct. Wikipedia : 2022 Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage.

More detail about what happened to the submarine under the attack on the Sevastopol shipyard. Reads and looks like it's toast & scrap worthy. Please see especially contents of tweet #2 in the thread. It has really taken a beating.

Investigations and reports were carried out by Denmark and Sweden, because the explosions took place in the Baltic waters of these two specific countries. Russia asked for permission to participate in these activities, which was turned down and denied. What was brought forward and released by the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen was that this was indeed sabotage, but he woulden't get into specifics about who was under suspicion, and reports made classified. Reason for this as mentioned by @Luca above. [Pretty un-Danish approach, likely an approach chosen under pressure from allies, I speculate, all with a very "fishy" odor to me personally. Personally to me also, we all have a right to know what this actually was, as a part of the whole picture of what has been going on.] There is no doubt this was sabotage.

Related to @Salukis post : A. P. Moeller Maersk A/S Press Release [September 14th 2023] : EU Commission President Names Landmark Methanol Vessel “Laura Mærsk”. So this is not about one 'experimental' ship, -it's by now about 25 ships, including "Laura". -Everybody in the industry keeping their heads low, to avoid attention on the matter, while everybody knows the industry as such has a material reponsibility. Not Mr. Robert Maersk Uggla. He's just 'head on'. No lingering.

KAL's cartoon this week :

Jens Stoltenberg - The situation explained - so to say - on the rim.

Today, the first four F-35s [absolutely awesome flying machines!] arrived here in Denmark, so something - F-16s - will now in due course leave Denmark, headed to Ukraine. It was with material delay. How can the worlds fastest fighter air plane even be delayed?

I'm pretty sure you'll do well with this company [Siemens] going forward. It's just that here on CoBF, it's 'an other turf', with no traction long term here on CoBF.

This to me is just so bad form and bad manners. Undignified, and then in front of a camera. Really appalling. What a cartoon drawing of a high raking politician. Total lack of format. If you can't find something positive to say about a deceased human being, let it go, and stay quiet.

l Marketing of the global military complex, here a western part of it. So ugly and counterproductive for the planet, civility, humanity & mankind.

Morgan Stanley Letter of recommendation - Poor Todd! :

Awesome YT video, @UK, thank you for sharing. Simply mind boggling to think of that in most of the cases of a border change in the video, an armed conflict has occurred.

To me, it's incredible how this situation in this topic, can be nitpicked and analyzed into *I don't what's going to happen*.

I would hardly call it "listening to", but by coincidence at some time ago, by conincidence, I some how managed to visit the following YouTube channel : YouTube - Malte Marten. Example : Sunset Meditation | 1 hour handpan music | Malte Marten. Since then, whenever I have been working or writing, reading, I have had this music running in a background tab on the PC, or on the Iphone. Before that first visit, I did not even know of the existence of the handpan as an instrument. -Perhaps this may even be of value to those CoBF members with babies suffering of problems to find rest to go to sleep, hitting the quality of life for the parents, too!

Mike [ @cubsfan], He does not - for exactly that reason - move around much by plane, but by train. His layers of paranoia are multidimensional, thereby also making them aggregated : There is absolutely no way back to sleeping well at night , because of what he he has already done. Great to read on the Net, that even your own mother recents you.
