Twelve years after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished with 239 people aboard, a deep-sea search has so far failed to locate the missing aircraft, as families pressed for the effort to continue. n.pr/4s0HGYs
World's longest-running running gag. Except every sitcom has a final season. This one hasn't.
Being upside down only makes this more real. In any set of slides, there had to be one that was either upside down or leftside right. 🙂

En guise de représailles, Dubaï parachute 3000 influenceurs sur Téhéran https://www.legorafi.fr/2026/03/03/en-guise-de-represailles-dubai-parachute-3000-influenceurs-sur-teheran/
Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.
Reasons to chose a Mk8 had nothing to do with "mercy"...
Reconfigured into a side-loading RoRo vessel, how cute!
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

Keep the turboprop content coming 😁
Holy crap, that was insane!
I’ve been on a lot of flights to some interesting places doing what I do, but that was BY FAR the most heart pounding landing. St Barth over the hill with some very interesting crosswinds today. Even the seasoned pilot said today was “interesting.”
If the cable is up to it...
We're gonna need a poster-sized flowchart to figure out whether your device will charge quickly on the aircraft, depending on socket, cable, device and ... whatever.
Most arrows will probably be pointing to the "No" square.
"Residents of Camblanes-et-Meynac, about 15 miles (9km) from Bordeaux, grew suspicious when - after letting a house through rentals giant Airbnb - the Chinese pair erected a large parabolic antenna in the garden."

Not sure there's an engineer on earth that understands every aspect of all the USB "standards"... and if so, he won't be working for an IFE OEM.
