I guess so. Rumor has it that the system brought down the Flying Burrito Brothers.

You need a gas mask and an extremely powerful fan. Possibly consider changing friends.

Yeah, but after you eat them just don't light any matches for a while.

If there is a Movie reference there, it passed by me.

Excellent!

Let’s all head to the gas station! My treat!

Bring along one of those devices -— and maybe those
suits they wear when they’re exploring volcanoes

Should be fun

The big fire in the town of Lahaina, Maui. Supposedly every house burned down, except the ones with the blue roof.

Ukraine has just over 2 dozen German Gepard anti-air systems, but not much ammunition. Ukraine needs to maintain a surviving number of at least 800 of these systems, and several millions of rounds of ammunition. But Ukraine has barely been able to get some thousands of rounds of ammunition, sporadically:

IIRC, Repkon (Mesquite, TX) Line 1 was supposed to be producing 2,500 155mm artillery shell parts per month, by June 15th. Or at least, that was the story 1 year ago. After 3 years of war, western countries promising ammunition, continue to fumble production. It seems.
