dagger Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It seems that AC1070 from Dallas to Montreal will follow the eclipse path most of the way, and of course, will be flying above any clouds most of the time. Hope the crew and passengers have their special glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pulman Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I was out buying lightbulbs and Oreo cookies. Missed the actual event, but thanks to my shopping list was able to recreate it in the comfort of my own dungeon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 That's a little funnier than the presidential candidate who said climate change is causing more and stronger eclipses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I saw a story earlier this week wherein Blinklen or Austin had reportedly told the Ukranians to stop targeting Russian refineries because it would affect world oil prices. I still don't know if that was true or not or social media disinfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know if that was true or not or social media disinfo. https://kyivindependent.com/us-defense-secretary-austin-ukraines-attacks-on-russian-oil-refineries-could-impact-global-energy-situation/ U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that recent Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian oil refineries could have a "knock-on effect" on the global energy market, Bloomberg reported on April 9. Ukrainian forces have launched a series of drone strikes aimed at damaging Russia's oil industry. A total of 12 Russian oil refineries were reportedly successfully hit in multiple regions deep inside Russian territory as of March 17. Ukraine also attacked one of Russia's largest oil refineries on April 2 in the city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan, over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Ukraine's border. The U.S. has been attempting to restrict Russian petroleum exports that fuel the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine while keeping global energy markets supplied to cool inflation and ease a soft-landing for the worldwide economy, Bloomberg's article said. According to the media outlet, a price cap on Russian oil exports was a successful tool, but concerns have risen, as "global oil prices hit the highest in almost six months, mainly on Middle East tensions." "Ukraine is better served in going after tactical and operational targets that can directly influence the current fight," Austin said during the Senate Armed Services committee meeting.
