I still have an edition from 1983 or 1984 here I rescued from the paper
recycling bin. No idea what to with it. It doesn't even know the term
"internet". But BBS is covered. :-)

We used Zulu-, Alpha- (with "ph") and Bravo- time in the West-German army.

The clever bit about the NATO alphabet is that it doesn't matter.

I'm still not sure if it's Lima or lemur :)

Back then we were only told. Nothing to read up on. So I couldn't tell
whether it is "Alpha" or "Alfa". Had to read it up yesterday that it's
indeed "Alpha". Anyway, only Zulu, Alpha and Bravo concerned us, although
we had to learn the others too. But too long ago that I forgot. Was it

Zulu - Alpha - Bravo - Charlie - Dick - Erection - F**k - Genital ... ?

> I'm still not sure if it's Lima or lemur :)

May be "lamer"? ;-)

I stand corrected on my earlier post, English and Gaelic are joint
official languages of the Irish Republic. Lallans(sp) is, AFAIK,
recognized as a language in Northern Ireland.

Again, I like English, noboody, AFAIK, official body to tell people how
to pronounce or spell. Old Gaelic placenames tell a more honest
descripion  than the newer English ones, I think thhe original name for
Sundrive Road was something like `gloomy lane'.

AFAIK, without  checking, back in the time when the Nation was being formed,
there was a suggestion that german be adopted as the offical lannguage
of the US.

English is one of the official languages of Malta.
Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Malta>

According to wikipedia 99% of the Irish people speaks English and 41% 
speaks Irish.
Both languages have official status.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Ireland>

So, no problem.
Without the UK there are still at least two countries with English as 
one of the official languages.
BTW both countries have the Euro as money....

41% speaks Irish sounds high to me for actually "speaks".

https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/how-much-irish-spoken-in-ireland
shows some figures (which are obviously self-reported). The list in
the section "How often is Irish spoken in Ireland" is the key one.
Only 185276 people said they spoke Irish weekly (or more regularly).
As to how well the others speak is a different matter - some may be
fluent whilst others may have basic Irish, some may only have just a 
few words.

My wife and I were talking about a similar thing the other day. How,
when WWII started, aviation was already nearly forty years old, in terms
of technological development.

That depends on who you talk to.  If you're talking to people who have
actually built a fusion reactor that produces theoretical breakeven
they're saying some time in the 2080-2100 timeframe for a working
power plant.  If you're talking to Lockheed or other beltway bandits
who have never actually built any kind of fusion reactor the "ten
years away" is more common.

I’m following Commonwealth Fusion, who seem to have a plan. There’s another
similar startup, I think on the west coast. We’ll have to see. I hope i’m
around long enough.

One thing I expect to be true, based on everything that’s come before, is
that there will prove to be some kind of unexpected serious problems once
fusion is actually in operation.

I wish them well, but they're very likely to discover the same thing
that the ITER team already knows--you gotta go big.

I remember 3 tv stations back in the 1950s. And one only came in
fairly well at night. One local radio station. Two small supermarkets,
a one screen movie theater. Next town over had 2 movie theaters. One
was a smaller, fewer statues, etc., movie palace. All three of those
movie theaters have been closed for years and 2 are falling apart. All
of the drive-in movie theaters are gone.

If I sent a letter home from my ship in the Mediterranean Sea, it
could take a month. Now they have live conferencing and email.

I remember my grandmother and I going outside when Sputnik went
overhead. Now there are thousands of satellites. Cell phones were
considered to be science fiction back then. Now billions of people
have them.
