It looks like prior to WW2 they had some good tanks based on a UK (LT vz.34 Carden Loyd tankettes), and German design (Kolohousenka) . Then the Nazis invaded. After the war they then they produced under license the rather successful T54 T55, and T72.

Kolohousenka LT vz. 34 - ČKD/Praga P-11 light tank. Fifty built for Czechoslovakia.[29]

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.

Male elephants experience a biological phenomenon called “musth”, which is characterized by increased testosterone production, temporal gland secretion and urine dribbling, heightened aggression and sexual behavior, and therefore can pose unique challenges for human safety and animal welfare.

Anyone can swear, but I don't see why we need to have swear words in the news. Just because the biggly orange guy thinks it's appropriate to swear, doesn't mean we need to lower the standard in the press.

Just because he has no decorum doesn't mean everyone has to follow suit.

I'll be honest, I don't mind swearing on social media as I'm an adult but I don't think there's any need to swear in the news media.

Before in main image. After below there's still a bit to clear on face of the steps but I didn't do it yet. Also cleared a bunch of brambles from around the Pampas grass but there's loads to go.

 

The primary contractor for the Space Launch System rocket, Boeing, is preparing for the possibility that NASA cancels the long-running program.
On Friday, with less than an hour's notice, David Dutcher, Boeing's vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn't take questions.

Here it comes, the big payoff. Elon's lost the Tesla EV subsidies but will instead get the NASA contacts

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
