A 4x4 truck with its big wheels and high ground clearance are features that allow the truck to move off-road. These features have the unfortunate side effect of making them dangerous to other road users, and very uneconomical / environmentally unfriendly. They also take up a lot of space.
Work vans and most cars are capable of driving on a building site or track.
1·23 days agoI think that’s a little incorrect. The Fleet Air Arm falls under the Royal Navy.
- 1914 (As the Royal Naval Air Service)
- 1924 (as the naval branch of the Royal Air Force)
- 1937 (as part of Naval Service)
In 1938, Admiralty Fleet Orders 2885 announced the formation of an Air Branch of the Royal Naval Reserve.
As of 1 December 2013, the Regular Fleet Air Arm has a reported strength of 5,000 personnel,[23] which represents approximately 20% of the Royal Navy’s total strength (excluding Royal Marines).
Though it seems that they have merged and split since original inception of the Royal Flying Corp and Royal Navy Air Service
new concepts have to be evaluated, and we had learned a great deal about that one. I had made seven wheels up landings—six of them intentionally.

Yes, and a Polish person tells me this is the correct way to make the Yah sound at the start of the English word, yacht.
I imagine it’s the same for the Germans, Dutch, and Scandinavians. Though perhaps not for the French or Spanish.

Is it just more bullshit and smoke screen, like musks nazi salute which conveniently happened at the same time as trump pardoned the Jan 6th rioters.
Not at all unreasonable imho!

Really helpful explanation, thanks.
Interesting thought, but don’t penguins have feathers for insulation from cold weather so without the feathers they probably look less chunky.
Looks like the joystick is out of reach for now.
another tiring day
The other cool way to find this is to search for the text …
And I withdrew into my bedchamber, and lay down, for it was night. But the cat, seeing that I had lain down in my bedchamber, forgot all the kindness of his master and cried out: “Arise and feed me, for I am hungry and thirsty!” And he thrust his paws into mine eye, and drew his voice nigh unto mine ear. And wrath was kindled in my heart. I stretched forth mine hand and took up my slipper, that I might smite the cat. And the cat saw that I had opened mine eyes, and rejoiced, and began to fawn upon me and sing praises unto my glory. And I took pity on the cat in my heart, for he hath no understanding in his head. And I rose up from my couch, and went into the kitchen, and poured more food into his bowl, a double measure.
Fyi there were no results.
That’s an excellent question, otherwise we’ll end up with the whole lone alpha wolf meme nonsense again.
For example, this study talks about ‘musth’ when male elephants experience increased testosterone - perhaps that’s what it’s refering to. With a very quick Google search I couldn’t find any general ranking of testosterone to body weight in animals.
