KNDS Germany to Supply New Stridsvagn 122 Tank Simulators to Swedish Army

The Swedish Armed Forces, in collaboration with the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV), has entered into a contract with the German company KNDS Germany (KMW+NEXTER Defense Systems), formerly known as KMW. The agreement is centered around the acquisition of tank simulators for the Stridsvagn 122, an improved variant of the Leopard 2A5. These advanced simulators are set to replace the existing turret crew training facilities (TBTA) within various units, as well as the crew training facility (BTA) at the Army Combat School. The newly acquired simulator is designed to facilitate comprehensive training for an entire tank crew, including the commander, gunner, driver, and loader, across all training levels – from basic individual training to collective unit exercises. Mirroring the capabilities of the operational tank, the simulator will also be equipped with the latest command support system.

I’ve no idea what this is about - thank goodness I haven’t seen any of these posts because I’d have been incensed too and likely flown off the handle to boot! But yeah, exactly what TBTA said ⬆️

PSA - Armie Hammer is Oliver so please don’t ‘whitewash’ him out of CMBYN posts.

I don’t know what’s going on today but I’ve just seen post after reel after post of Elio and… where’s Oliver? Chopped off. Edited out. (Could be I’ve been on my phone too much)

Maybe you had a knee-jerk reaction when the Armie shit hit the fan and are too embarrassed now to say ‘I was wrong’ - Armie is still Oliver

Maybe his kinks were too much for you and you went off him - Armie is still Oliver

Maybe you were never particularly an Armie fan in the first place - Armie is still Oliver

CMBYN would not be what it is without him - and one last thing (it’ll clear the air) if you think that Luca & Timmy and everyone else involved aren’t as tight as ever, you’re wrong

Floki’s laugh

Floki in general (and his makeup!)

Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha

war paint

anyone saying “Christian” in a snarling/mocking manner with an Old Norse-ish accent always gets me

Ragnar taking the world by storm

“WHO WANTS TO BE KING?”

💖 Ragnar x Athelstan 💖

the Ragnarsons

Ivar, the baddest bitch in tow-  I mean boneless

Ivar killing someone by pouring liquid gold in their mouth (hell of a way to go if you ask me)

Ivar walking upright on crutches for the first time

like that scene was so powerful, I got chills

also, his brothers’ faces literally said “oh shit” when they saw him and I loved it

casting Jordan Patrick Smith as Travis Fimmel’s son

Alfred looking to Ubbe for hairstyle advice

Rollo acting like his baptism didn’t mean shit although we all now know that was major fucking foREShaDowiNG

Björn deciding to leave with his mother (in your face, cheater!!!)

Lagertha just kicking (male) ass left and right throughout the whole show

also her kinda literally stabbing Aslaug in the back (finALLY!!)

Aslaug’s love for Ivar though... might’ve been her best trait

on the topic of motherly love: Judith killing Aethelred

THE blood eagle

Ivar killing Sigurd and then visually seeing it in his face when he realizes what he’s done

Alex Høgh Andersen is an international treasure

Björn taking the stereotypical young adult “i NeEd tO fINd MySElf” trip (usually you wouldn’t encounter bears or assassins, admittedly)

the makeup skills of whoever managed to make everyone’s skin look so weathered and worn in the later seasons especially

Ragnar pulling a ✨death prank✨ on all of Paris

Ivar’s iconic “you can’t kill me” moment

the Great Heathen Army™

Floki and Ivar (psychos unite!)

Hvitserk being haunted (surprisingly neat special effects, mad props)

Ivar adopting Igor

Ivar asking to leave the dinner table like a little kid when Prince Oleg decides to f*ck his dead wife’s lookalike on it (understandable though)

everyone agreeing that Lagertha’s funeral has to be the greatest one the world has ever seen

Björn and Ivar talking at the beach

Ingrid being like “well, my husband’s gone, let’s get another, oh now that one’s leaving, time to blind the sub and become queen”

the show ending with Floki and Ubbe sitting on the shore while the theme song softly plays in the background

bonus:

occasionally remembering that Ragnar and Lagertha just wanted to be fucking farmers

The Bigger They Are: Owen

Part III - Sunday, October 1, 2017

I woke with a start as my stomach started to cave in due to the pressure of a fleshy pillar. It took a while for my eyes to adjust, but, when they did, I found the source of the weight - a finger, then an arm, then a neck, then… a whole person, perched on his toes, squatting right above me. No wonder my eyes took so long to see; he had been blocking out the light!

My brain adapted way quicker than my eyes, and it told me to run from the enormous boy, who looked a few years older than me (then again, doesn’t everyone look older than a “babyface?”). Somehow, the adrenaline pulsing throughout my body was able to pump my arms and legs - run, run, run! - under a, thankfully, empty stall. As I reached my destination, I discovered my other problem: I couldn’t breathe.

I crumpled to the ground, whimpering as I inhaled greedily for a few breaths, but none were received. My lungs weren’t adapting to the extremely low air pressure, or the molecules were too big for them. Maybe something else? I had no idea, for I was too busy panicking - the boy, Reese, had heaved my shrunken body into the air. How on God’s green Earth could this have happened?!

Soon, it was possible to breathe, and that was when my mind finally tried to comprehend the situation.

“Could this just be a dream?” I tried to convince myself, but to no avail.

A giant human - no, regular human, tiny, naked me. And to think I had ever complained about being short! This was a whole new level.

Reese had tried to come up with a nickname for me, which I despised. What I despised even more? He stuffed me into his cramped, stuffy pocket, and even dared to call me cute when I told him my real name!

“I swear to you, Rona- I mean, Reese, call me cute one more time! I dare you!” I thundered, but I was not prepared for what happened next…

“Owen?!” I heard Tommy’s voice.

I was lifted into the air once more, and I realized that I was back at the Dix Hills Diner, where I was greeted by a humongous, shocked, freckle-faced boy.

“Trust me, I’m as confused as you, dude,” I attempted to push his nosy nose from my bare belly, “But, c’mon, you’re way to close. Mind moving back?”

Tommy stalled for a moment before his head snapped back into reality, “Oh, yeah! Sorry, man. Can I just ask something?”

I nodded, feeling the back of my head, not because I was anxious, but because I felt something weird.

“How the fuck did this happen to you?”

I ignored the question, feeling the back of my head once again.

“Dude?” Tommy tilted his head.

“Reese’s Pieces, what’s wrong?” Reese pulled me back to him - I need to get used to this feeling.

My hand came back from my head, just like before I had blacked out, and it was coated red with blood.

“I-I’m bleeding,” I muttered, but Reese had already seen.

“Shit, shit, shit!” Reese was panicking, and wrapped me inside his pocket once more, “It’s gonna be okay, lil’ guy, just lemme-”

“Reese, I’m fine!” I countered, “It’s just a little blood!” “No, it’s not! Tell me when this hurts.”

“Wait, what?”

The pocket started to close in on me, and I felt myself being squished - he was trying to stop the blood flow, as if it were a bloody nose! I would’ve argued, but the pressure suddenly plugged over my face.

“AH!” I finally complained, and the pain stopped.

I felt the back of my head for the last time - dry. I’m not even going to question the science behind it - it worked! As if on cue, I heard the door to the diner jingle, followed by familiar voices.

“Tommy, Owen’s missing!” Zachary and Giovanni’s voices chimed together, but Michael remained silent.

I gave Reese a reassuring tap, and I guess he knew that it meant that I was okay, because he whipped me out from his pocket for the threesome to gape at. It was at that moment I realized how insignificant I was, how… small I was. Was I even human anymore, or was I an object, and thing, an it? Tears welled up in my eyes as I was tossed around in a slow-motion hot potato game. However, what was different with this group is that somebody cared.

“Guys, can ya’ be gentle with him? I mean, look at him, he’s obviously been through enough. He doesn’t need to be sick!” Michael scolded.

He was spot-on, and I started to sob. The realization of, not only my insignificance, but the fact that I might never be normal again, finally got to me. This time, sympathetic palms cradled my frame, and I already knew who it was. I couldn’t help but blush a little.

I found myself drifting off to sleep feeling protected, but I couldn’t shake the lingering feeling that the relationship between me and my cohorts had changed dramatically...

Mutuo

Que sea mutuo, porque sino no tiene que ser, tan simple como eso. Si querés a una persona, procurá que esa persona también te quiera a vos. Que los sentimientos que tenés, sean correspondidos. No funciona una relación cuando uno tiene que dar cierta cantidad de amor, para poder tapar el amor que a la otra persona le falta dar. Nadie es tan poca cosa como para no recibir amor de verdad, y tampoco nadie es tanto como para recibir amor que no se merece. Aprendamos a valorarnos y dejemos de estar atrás de personas que no nos quieren, porque aunque duela esa es la verdad. La otra persona, no nos quiere. Y si juega con nuestros sentimientos aprovechándose de ese amor que sentimos, más seguros debemos estar de que esa persona no nos merece. Ellos se lo pierden. Porque hace falta tener agallas para amar, amar de verdad. Y mientras tanto, sigamos apostando al amor. Y esa persona que no nos quiere ni nos valora? Que se lo pierda. . . . . . "Como puedo traducir la frustración alas palabras? Que se lo pierda por gil"

Square Enix had 9+ years to work on a game but still failed in making XV's one (1) leading female prominent in the plot outside of Noctis' development and somehow forgot that a time-traveling dog kind of makes Luna's death a massive waste of time. Hmm. Good job Tabata.

#MapMondays - “The Arterial System” 1964, showing completed, under construction, in planning, and future highways. The proposed projects on this map that were never constructed include LoMex (Lower Manhattan Expressway), the Mid-Manhattan Expressway, the Bushwick Expressway, Interborough Parkway (Brooklyn), Prospect Expressway extension via Ocean Parkway, Sheridan extension, and the Shore Front Parkway on the Rockaway Peninsula. Many of these proposed routes were projects of Master Planner and Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority Chairman Robert Moses, who was pushed out of power four years later when the TBTA was merged into the Metropolitan Transit Authority and toll funds were diverted to save the city's ailing agencies including the subway. 🚗 Tap to purchase a copy of the map 🚙 #mapmonday #cartography #transitmap #nyc #brooklyn #rockaway #bushwick #oceanparkway #sheridanexpressway #robertmoses #powerbroker #shorefrontparkway #prospectparkway #brooklynqueensexpressway #brucknerexpressway #lomex #expressway #queens #bronx #urbanism (at Bushwick, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fn0DMHy_G/?igshid=12xe9ctgabiwk

Thousands of people took to the pavement Sunday morning for the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk. The race is held in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th and ever since for our country. The 5k retraces the steps of one of the 343 city firefighters killed on 9/11.  Firefighter Stephen Siller was on his way home from work that day when he turned back around, strapped on 60 pounds of gear and ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to Ground Zero.
