There is unethical behaviour on both parts. Overbred indoor cat, and (hopefully neutered) outdoor cat that ruins wildlife populations of birds and other sensitive populations. If the outdoor cat isn’t neutered, that makes it ten times worse.

I completely agree. What I forgot to add was that I would be just fine without it. And the people who send in complaints would not have as much text mass with nonsense to plow through either.

As I said to another commenter:

No idea, I can’t even tell a Boeing apart from an Airbus until the doors come popping off mid flight.

Then they mentioned huey something and I looked it up. Closer to chinook maybe. The noise was so way more different from Vietnam movies compared to these though. On the other hand, shots from pistol, gun, machine gun and rifles don’t sound in RL like they do in movies either.

Thank you for providing a reference, but no, bigger and bulkier. Not important anyhow, but thank you for trying to check with me.

When I was a kid, there used to be a military airfield near where we lived, that had normal helicopters and tandem-rotor helicopters that they flew by with daily. The noise was quite distinct.

Now we have ambulance helicopters and police helicopters flying directly overhead from twice a week to twice daily. I stopped looking years ago until I one day heard a different sound, yet oddly familiar somehow, that sounded like something was punching the air aggressively with fists. I had to go out and saw that ancient dark green monstrosity of a tandem-rotor helicopter again. And then another. Last year they seemed to have daily exercises for a week with them during defense training operations. Didn’t want to complain about them online since it would be inappropriate to share pinpoint locations and times, but was very grateful when they stopped.

It is extremely difficult for elderly (or anyone) with rheumatoid arthritis, arthroscopic injuries or just deteriorated hand grip, as most windows require a strong two-handed grip to open, tilt or close. I love them, but my elderly relatives require help from us relatives or home aides/helpers to even manage to ventilate their homes.

Russia is now harvesting what they’ve sown, and riding on the wave of propaganda, disinformation that they’ve made part of public discourse in Poland, such as about the Wołyn massacre and the land grabs that the Soviet Union made and integrated into the western parts of Ukraine after WWII.

I have relatives in Poland who could never forgive having their families ousted from fertile farmland that had been in their family for generations. They recently went from blaming the Soviet Union to blaming Ukraine and Ukrainians in particular.

So Russia is now fanning the fire.
