It’s reasonable for this 30-year service veteran to retire. However, I’m not quite sure of your source, I want to say that DF-21 is in the middle prime of its life. Roughly like the CNSA’s CZ-2B and it’s “relatives”. Well stocked, technically reliable, and easy to use only means one thing for PLA/CNSA: the user can put whatever they want on it, such as something hypersonic.

But… yeah why they just put the price so that “robbery”… This is simply forcing piracy to occur. -

Our office has bought the toner from this store twice and it worked pretty well. So I have the white mouse on that already We even print the contracts from it! And, well, it's not aftermarket. To be more rigorous, it should be some sort of piracy. But the thing is, sometimes they are the same manufacturers for the official and unofficial. So... -

When I was study in UK, I was bough a I don’t know how many hands HP printer in £3 from my senior schoolmate. But the ink pods cost me at least 50 for it. When I graduate and pack myself back home, I put this thing into my box - because it save me so many times. Then I just found that the non official ink pods which can reload the ink can save me 10 times of money at least… I’d like to say the official ink pods is some kind of robbery. -
For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

Turning off lights, releasing decoys, and preparing false targets will always be the basic things for preventing your enemy from blowing up somewhere you don't want them to. I bet in the future it will still be like this after there really are space fleets and interstellar colonies. -
Places to hide if there's a nuclear blast?
steve9728 replied to Minmus Taster's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Speaking as someone who living in the city where DJI and Huawei and many other high tech companies was founded, our city definitely worth a bomb. So the metro in our city all design to make them can be the shelters. Meanwhile all the underground car parks under the apartments are required to be nuclear, chemical, biological and air raid proof based on the size of the flats. Those concrete doors are pretty thick and heavy have to say. But of course, I would recommend to living in somewhere not that “hot”, probably somewhere inside the mountains, or somewhere plateau higher than 4000m. As for me, if the bombs really incoming unfortunately, I’ll try my worst to find out where the direction maybe. Then find a white wall, show my fingers - at least leave something in the world, such as a strange shadow. -
This Day in Aviation and Spaceflight History

Actually he came from same province with me. I even visited his tomb before in Guangzhou. He was actually one of a large number of Chinese labourers who came to the US in the late 19th century try to find a better life - he arrived at the age of 12, in 1895. At dusk on this September day, his plane made its first flight next to a round hill in Auckland (hit anyone’s radar who living in Auckland?), and after 0.8 km, the propeller suddenly stopped because he had tightened the screws on the propeller shaft too much and snapped off the root of the propeller. The plane fell to the ground, but fortunately he was not injured this time. He had learnt his lesson and his second aircraft was based on the Wright Brothers' Aviator I and the Curtiss Golden Flyer. The second flight was a success. At this time China was undergoing a revolution to overthrow the Qing Empire. Feng, like many Chinese at the time, returned to China with the technology they specialized in. On 25 August 1912, he died in a tragic crash during a flying display at Yantang, Guangzhou. Of course, I've heard that California is pretty accommodating - if you think you’re a Californian, you’re a Californian. So you say he was a Californian for around a decade I won’t argue anything about that lol -
This Day in Aviation and Spaceflight History

21 Sep. 1909, was the day for Feng Ru (冯如), the first Chinese to make and fly his plane first time in California. He also started the history of Chinese aviation. -
How Common Or Rare Are Planets with 1g or Greater?
steve9728 replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I think human knowledge of places beyond the solar system is still very limited currently: kinds like strange imagery that ancient people had of places beyond where they lived. And it's likely, because human imagination can only be based on what they already know. So probably... -

All of those living dinosaurs have been found - 69 in total: https://news.southcn.com/node_54a44f01a2/cbdda6a784.shtml The funny thing is, previously we knew that there were 71 crocodiles on this farm. The local authorities tried their best but only found 69 of them. After further questioning of the farm staff, it was learned that one of the two crocodiles had been slaughtered in September last year and the other in December 2021. The police found buried crocodile bones and a crocodile head that had been left in the refrigerator of the farm staff's house for "collection". Another good news is those metro stations in our city that have been shut down because of flooding, finished their repairs and are back in service. If it wasn't for the fact that this line is very crowded during rush hour after work, I'd really like to check them out. Typhoons are a great thing to cool off in the summer, and everyone tends to look forward to them - sometimes we can shut down and take a break. But... people are also afraid that it will mess up and cause disasters -
PLA Daily reported on the part of the last three EVAs of the SZ-15 crew, which are keeping classified: The second EVA carried by Fei Junlong and Zhang Lu needed them to connected a equipment which have 20 plugs. The part of the third EVA task was installations of connecting cross-module cable connector, which have 40 plugs on it. The last EVA need to to go to the load cabin of the MT Module from WT Module’s airlock - some kind of from the leftmost to rightmost. Still no report on mission duration though.

The patch this time combined with the last time: I find articles with detailed introductions of Tiangong and Tianzhou published in academic journals hosted by BIT and CAST - tons of more info than wiki: Tiangong: https://spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/space.0035 Tianzhou: https://spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/space.0006 Actually, I was looking for the interesting thought I just know but was already presented last year: Karst Cave as Terrestrial Simulation Platform to Test and Design Human Base in Lunar Lava Tube

Strange question: is there anyone out there who like me, dreams of getting into a fight/arguing with the client sometimes?

Good news is my wishes come true. I can’t say it’s sunny day but finally, the streets are dry. Bad news is I make a little crash on my dad’s car for my first time - hit on a stone pillar when I getting in the parking lot in the speed around 3km/h. But good news is that’s not the first time of scratch for my dad’s car - he had once few weeks ago at the plateau. -
Strangely enough, such carelessness and bad luck could happen to me in real life lol But only if ground control can cure me of my bad habit of just wanting to stay in the base and watching the computer

Irresponsible personal speculation: another ballistic missile midcourse intercept test. The sightings were basically within Hebei province, so it's possible that the launch was somewhere inland. That’s a good chance for OSINT practice their skills to find out the route: there’s full of videos and photos with when and where the people took them on the “Hebei UFO” Weibo trending.

The info about this from the Chinese internet is "it's named from Tajik word meaning 'tall and majestic'." I'm glad the mountain is high enough without humans letting it conjure up some kind of weird imagery and naming it after some body part. You see, no one in the world really cares about who came in second.
