A “Bangle butt” hiding one of the most advanced V12s ever built. The controversial 7 Series with the most advanced V12 of its time. Launched in 2002, the E65 polarised buyers with its bold “Bangle butt” styling, but under the bonnet was engineering brilliance. The 760i featured the new 6.0-litre N73 V12, also seen in Rolls Royce, producing 438 HP with direct injection, one of the most sophisticated naturally aspirated V12s ever fitted to a saloon. Effortless thrust, whisper-quiet refinement (all though this one is a little modified), and the ability to cruise at 250 km/h without breaking a sweat. Misunderstood then, respected now, I think the facelift examples are an amazing looking car. BMW E65 760i

This is the $30M Rolls Royce Droptail, the world's most expensive Rolls-Royce. Owned by HRH Crown Prince of Johor, this coachbuilt masterpiece is more than just a car, it's a symbol of ultimate exclusivity, craftsmanship, and status. The Droptail represents the absolute pinnacle of what Rolls-Royce can create and this particular example holds even more significance as the final Droptail ever built, 4 of 4. Every detail is meticulously engineered and tailored to its owner. The open-top roadster design draws inspiration from luxury yachts, while the interior showcases hand-finished materials, intricate woodwork, and a removable timepiece integrated into the dashboard, merging the worlds of high watchmaking and automotive design. Unlike any production Rolls Royce, the Droptail is completely bespoke, built around the vision and lifestyle of its owner. It's not something you can simply order It's something reserved for a select few with access, influence, and legacy.

Suppose two cars are traveling on an expressway at 100 km/h with a 50-meter gap. If the front car slams on its brakes, it takes about 3.5 seconds and nearly 50 meters to stop. If the driver behind does nothing, a collision occurs in exactly 3.5 seconds. This gives the rear driver a 3.5-second window to avoid a crash. For an alert driver, 1 second is reaction time, leaving 2.5 seconds to brake and stop safely. Now, consider the same 50-meter gap, but the front car is reversing at 10 km/h. For the car approaching from behind at 100 km/h, the closing speed skyrockets to 110 km/h, slashing the time before collision to just 1.6 seconds. In reality, it is even worse: because drivers never expect a vehicle to reverse on an expressway, their brains freeze. Reaction time jumps from 1 second to 2, 3, or more. At high speeds, drivers often crash before even realizing they need to brake. That's why reversing on an expressway is hundred times more dangerous than a sudden braking. A maneuver that feels slow to the reversing driver creates an unexpectedly violent closing speed for those behind, leaving virtually no time to react. In the video, a family of seven missed their exit on the Dehradun expressway to Haridwar. They reversed, were struck from behind, and four of them died.

The Airbus A350 is, without question, the most beautiful airliner gracing the skies today. A masterpiece of modern engineering and design, it combines elegance with efficiency. From every angle, the A350 is perfectly proportioned. Its long, graceful fuselage flows seamlessly into a set of gently curved wings that flex in flight like a bird in motion—an iconic silhouette that instantly sets it apart. The wingtips, with their signature upturned ‘sharklets,’ don’t just look stunning—they whisper of aerodynamic excellence and fuel-saving innovation. Its nose profile is distinctive yet refined, with a gentle curvature and a cockpit visor that gives the aircraft a futuristic, almost predatory presence. And unlike many other widebodies, the A350’s fuselage length is in perfect harmony with its wing span and tail height—there’s a visual symmetry that makes it appear poised, balanced, and utterly graceful, whether taxiing on the tarmac or soaring above the clouds. But it’s not just a pretty face. The A350 is a triumph of technology—built from over 50% carbon-fibre-reinforced composite, powered by next-generation Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, and brimming with advanced systems that make it one of the most efficient and capable long-haul aircraft ever built. In an age where function often overrides form, the A350 is a rare exception—a true flying work of art that proves beauty and brains can coexist. 📸 by ig/captainchris Not an ad

The F31 335d is an estate that looks calm, sensible, and entirely normal. That is exactly why it works so well as an overachiever. With around 313 HP from the twin-turbo N57 and a huge wave of torque, it moves in a way people do not expect from a diesel Touring. 0–100 km/h in roughly 4.9 seconds puts it firmly into performance territorya and that is still stock. Though nothing about the styling suggests speed. It is not dramatic, and it does not ask for attention. That is the point. It delivers real pace inside a shape most people associate with practicality and restraint.

An SU-34 closes in, hot on the tail of a Saab JAS 39 Gripen. The Sukhoi SU-35 stands as one of Russia’s most formidable fighter jets, renowned for its sheer size and striking presence in the sky. Its twin engines, broad wingspan, and aggressive silhouette make it tower over lighter fighters like the Saab JAS 39 Gripen, projecting dominance both on the ground and in flight. The SU-35’s design balances raw power with refined aerodynamics, creating a jet that is as agile as it is visually imposing. Developed in the late 2000s as an advanced evolution of the SU-27, the SU-35 features thrust-vectoring engines that enable maneuvers beyond the capabilities of most aircraft. It can exceed Mach 2.25 and fly nearly 2,200 miles without refueling. Its sophisticated radar can track up to 30 targets simultaneously and engage multiple threats at once, making the SU-35 not just a giant of the skies, but a precision predator in combat.

The VR6 engine was born out of a packaging problem. VW's engineers needed a six-cylinder that could fit transversely in a front-wheel drive Golf engine bay. Something a conventional V6 with cylinder banks spread 90 degrees could never do. The solution was a narrow-angle 15-degree configuration with a single cylinder head shared across all six cylinders, making it barely wider than a four cylinder. The MK3 Golf VR6 was the first car to receive it in the Golf family 2.8L, 174 HP, 235 Nm, 0-100 km/h in around 7 seconds, and a sound unlike anything else in a hatchback body. Not the fastest car of its era. The most characterful one in its class without question. That engine went on to power the Corrado, the Passat, and eventually the Phaeton and even some Porsche models. This example here is the GTI VR6 and the VR6 produces 201 hp, looks like a lot of fun.

The making of the Airbus A380 - building the world's largest passenger aircraft The Airbus A380 was designed to move more passengers farther and quieter than any aircraft before it. Its development brought together engineering teams from across Europe to create a true aviation giant. Major sections of the A380 are manufactured in different countries. The wings are built in the United Kingdom, the fuselage sections in Germany and France, the cockpit and nose in France, and the horizontal tail plane in Spain. These massive components are transported by Beluga aircraft, ships, and special road convoys to the final assembly line in Toulouse, France ملم The A380 uses advanced aluminum alloys and composite materials to handle extreme structural loads while keeping weight under control. Its wings are the largest ever fitted to a passenger aircraft, designed to flex several meters upward in flight without damage. Inside, the aircraft features a full-length double-deck cabin, advanced fly-by-wire systems, and one of the most complex electrical and hydraulic architectures ever installed on a civil airliner After assembly, each A380 undergoes extensive ground tests, system checks, and flight testing to certify performance, safety, and reliability before entering airline service

There are zero logical reasons to build a 10,000-year clock that tracks the precession of the equinoxes inside a mountain over 4,000 feet in elevation, along with plans for another copy to be placed at 10,000 feet. If that were not enough, why would they place in the same location the Rosetta Disc, containing over 1,500 preserved languages and a manual for rebuilding civilization? The 500 feet tall clock is built from materials designed to last thousands of years. It’s powered by the Sun and engineered to function without human maintenance. But did you know that the clock is synchronized with the Sun? It tracks solar noon, the Sun’s position, moon phases, and stellar precession. Most importantly, it displays the movement of the five visible planets, the 'fixed stars' within the constellations, and tracks the precession of the equinoxes—a 26,000-year cycle. This precession is the foundation of the astrological ages (e.g., the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius). The clock is designed to preserve the antediluvian knowledge and transmit it to the next cycle after the geophysical event.

After nine long months of testing, the B18.1 Booster test article is finally being removed from the Super Crusher. Over the course of that campaign, it completed 16 cryogenic pressure tests — making it the most extensive structural qualification program we’ve seen to date, by a significant margin (followed closely by B18.3 and S39.1) To me, that level of rigor reflects more than just the technological leap between V2 and V3. It also signals a broader shift in testing philosophy in the Starship program. The changes made to Super Heavy introduce significant risk throughout every stage of pre-flight testing. Its almost equivalent to the extreme uncertainty during the Booster 7 testing campaign. With that in mind, it’s reassuring to see that those risks are being addressed with this level of discipline. 🎥: Avid Space

I actually first heard of $RBNT from Gilbert back in 2019 He mentioned an impressive project being closely watched by the Australian Government.. one claiming transaction throughput in the hundreds of thousands Had my eye on their developments ever since.. Yes, its been a terrible start for the token and execution has been incredibly poor, to say the least.. which is why the token deserves the price its currently sitting at.. But I have no doubts about Redbelly Network from a technical pov.. Formally verified, fork-proof, instant finality.. one of the fastest, most secure and scalable blockchains in the world, already securing assets in the billions on chain.. I could go on $RBNT was always going to be a long term conviction hold for me It’s been on my radar for 6 years.. and it’s one of those assets I fully expect to still be holding in some capacity 6 years from now It's not how it starts.. it's how it ends $RBNT

They did not take cursive from the schools because children no longer needed it. They took it because of what it was quietly building in them. Consider what the exercise actually is. A child, six years old, is handed a pen and asked to draw a single unbroken line that becomes a word. The wrist must float. The fingers must hold a living pressure, never quite the same twice, always correcting. The eye must follow the ink forward and trust the hand to finish what it has begun. There is no lifting, no stopping, no starting over mid-word. The loop must close. The ascender must rise and return. The sentence must travel from one margin to the other as a single continuous gesture, and at the end of it the hand must still be steady. Twelve years of this. Every day. Ten thousand small acts of sustained, self-correcting attention, carried out below the level of conscious thought, until the motion belongs to the body and the body belongs to the motion. This is not penmanship. It is the slow construction of an interior form. The hand that has learned to carry a line without breaking it is the hand of a mind that has learned to carry a thought without breaking it. The two are not metaphors for one another. They are the same faculty, trained in the same child, by the same daily discipline. Continuity of the stroke becomes continuity of the reasoning. The patience of the loop becomes the patience of the argument. The commitment to finish a word one has started becomes the commitment to finish a sentence, a paragraph, a life's idea, without reaching for the nearest distraction halfway through. Print is a different creature entirely. Print lifts. Print stops. Print assembles a word out of separate, stamped, interchangeable pieces, each one beginning and ending in isolation. A mind raised only on print learns to think the way print is made, in discrete tokens, in replaceable units, in fragments that can be recombined by any outside hand without the owner noticing the substitution. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model produces. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model can steer. Cursive is kata. This is the whole of it. A form repeated daily, for years, not for the sake of the form but for what the repetition lays down in the practitioner beneath the form. The swordsman does not train kata so that one day he may fight in kata. He trains it so that when the moment comes and there is no time to think, the movement is already inside him, older and deeper than thought, and it rises on its own. Cursive was the kata of the literate mind, the daily quiet drilling of continuity, of patience, of a line held steady under the long pressure of its own length. And the signature it produced at the end, that small flourished mark unique to a single human being on earth, was only the outward proof of an inward form no machine and no other hand could ever reproduce. Take the kata away and the practitioner is left with vocabulary in place of faculty. He can recognise a whole thought when he encounters one. He cannot carry one himself. He can admire a finished argument. He cannot sustain one long enough to close its loop. He begins books he does not finish, sentences he does not end, ideas he abandons the moment the screen in his palm offers him a brighter one. And when the machine begins feeding him tokens in the exact shape his schooling taught him to receive, he meets it with no interior resistance at all, because no interior form was ever built in him to push back with. They removed it quietly, across a generation, and they removed it in the last years before the machines arrived. Twelve years of daily practice in unbroken, embodied, self-authored thought, gone from the curriculum of almost every child in the Western world, just as the instruments designed to complete their sentences for them came online. The hand forgets. The mind, having never been taught the kata, forgets a thing it never knew it had. That is what cursive was. That is what was taken. And that is why the thought of anyone who still writes by hand, in long unlifted lines, remains, quietly, stubbornly, and without their ever needing to announce it, their own. Now the question stands open. What else has been banned, phased out, quietly retired from the curriculum and from common life over these same decades, under the same soft excuses? Mental arithmetic. Memorisation of poetry. Latin. Logic as a formal subject. Map reading. Knot work. The keeping of a commonplace book. The reading aloud of long passages in class. Singing in parts. What was each of those actually building in the child, beneath the surface of the lesson, and whose interest was served by its disappearance?

The patience of the loop becomes the patience of the argument. The commitment to finish a word one has started becomes the commitment to finish a sentence, a paragraph, a life's idea, without reaching for the nearest distraction halfway through. Print is a different creature entirely. Print lifts. Print stops. Print assembles a word out of separate, stamped, interchangeable pieces, each one beginning and ending in isolation. A mind raised only on print learns to think the way print is made, in discrete tokens, in replaceable units, in fragments that can be recombined by any outside hand without the owner noticing the substitution. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model produces. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model can steer. Cursive is kata. This is the whole of it. A form repeated daily, for years, not for the sake of the form but for what the repetition lays down in the practitioner beneath the form. The swordsman does not train kata so that one day he may fight in kata. He trains it so that when the moment comes and there is no time to think, the movement is already inside him, older and deeper than thought, and it rises on its own. Cursive was the kata of the literate mind, the daily quiet drilling of continuity, of patience, of a line held steady under the long pressure of its own length. And the signature it produced at the end, that small flourished mark unique to a single human being on earth, was only the outward proof of an inward form no machine and no other hand could ever reproduce. Take the kata away and the practitioner is left with vocabulary in place of faculty. He can recognise a whole thought when he encounters one. He cannot carry one himself. He can admire a finished argument. He cannot sustain one long enough to close its loop. He begins books he does not finish, sentences he does not end, ideas he abandons the moment the screen in his palm offers him a brighter one. And when the machine begins feeding him tokens in the exact shape his schooling taught him to receive, he meets it with no interior resistance at all, because no interior form was ever built in him to push back with. They removed it quietly, across a generation, and they removed it in the last years before the machines arrived. Twelve years of daily practice in unbroken, embodied, self-authored thought, gone from the curriculum of almost every child in the Western world, just as the instruments designed to complete their sentences for them came online. The hand forgets. The mind, having never been taught the kata, forgets a thing it never knew it had. That is what cursive was. That is what was taken. And that is why the thought of anyone who still writes by hand, in long unlifted lines, remains, quietly, stubbornly, and without their ever needing to announce it, their own. Now the question stands open. What else has been banned, phased out, quietly retired from the curriculum and from common life over these same decades, under the same soft excuses? Mental arithmetic. Memorisation of poetry. Latin. Logic as a formal subject. Map reading. Knot work. The keeping of a commonplace book. The reading aloud of long passages in class. Singing in parts. What was each of those actually building in the child, beneath the surface of the lesson, and whose interest was served by its disappearance?

BREAKING 🔥🇺🇦 Ukraine Lyviv Oblast Ukraine confirms that the missile that hit the Lviv region flew at a speed of about 13,000 km/h along a ballistic trajectory. It makes it clear that an Oreshnik IRBM with MIRV technology was used in the attack. It’s the second time an ICBM or IRBM is used in war After the Russian Oreshnik IRBM strike, local media report that there is “almost no gas” in Lviv Oblast. Earlier reports indicated that the Oreshnik hit a strategic underground gas storage facility in the city of Stryi, Lviv region. The facility is located 66 km from Lviv and 75 km from the Polish border. Several volleys of MIRV strikes can be seen in the video. The fact that it happened close to the Polish border is a Russian message for all of Europe. Expert opinion : Oreshnik ICBM is unstoppable since it enters into from space to atmosphere with a speed of Mach 10. Neither Europe nor America has such an anti air defence to stop it. Under normal circumstances it carries nuclear warheads that can erase any European city from map and sends back to stone age. Last night, there was a clear sign that Russia is not joking.

WATCH: Upon arriving in Panama today, the first thing I saw as I was leaving the airport was a giant sign that said “BANK OF CHINA”. Ever since the US officially turned over the Panama Canal to Panama in 2000, China has aggressively expanded its foothold in Panama. It has gotten to the point where China was able to pressure Panama to dissolve relations with Taiwan. At one point, Panama was one of the only nations to recognize Taiwan as an independent nation. They don’t anymore. When you see how Panama has become the largest land migration route to North America from central and South America, it’s evident that China and the CCP is an active facilitator of the invasion of America. One of the new trends in the Darien Gap over the last year has been the fact that tens of thousands of Chinese “migrants” have traveled to the US via the jungle of the Darien Gap. Chinese invaders are the largest growing new group of illegal Aliens traveling from Panama to the United States. Most of them are military aged men. This is the first sign you see when you drive into and leave the airport.

The past year has seen me have a renaissance, in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.

🚨BREAKING: Another ICE agent has been caught on video illegally pointing a firearm at a U.S. citizen, in Lemonwood, California. In the video, an unmarked ICE vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road… no vehicles are in front of it, and nothing is preventing them from driving forward. Instead of continuing to drive down the road, the ICE agent is blocking a pickup truck from turning, while pointing a gun, out their window, directly at the driver of that truck. The truck backs up, but the agent still keeps the firearm pointed at the driver. Only AFTER people begin honking their horns does the agent lower their weapon, and drive away. The law states that pointing a firearm at someone is considered a serious threat of deadly force. It is only justified when an officer has an objectively reasonable belief that they are facing an immediate threat of death, or serious bodily harm. It is not legally allowed to be used to control traffic, and it is not legally allowed to be used as intimidation. And that’s exactly why this video should be alarming to you. The agent is not boxed in… nothing is preventing them from driving down the street. Meanwhile, the agent is the one preventing the truck from continuing its turn. And they are doing so while pointing a gun at the driver. So, the question becomes… What immediate threat justified the ICE agent to stop their car, and point a firearm at a U.S. citizen? Because we are seeing a growing pattern, of publicly documented incidents, where ICE agents point firearms at legal observers, journalists, and bystanders during enforcement encounters… when they are not facing an immediate threat of death. That is not how public safety works. Pointing a firearm at someone is one of the most serious things an officer can do, because it instantly escalates an encounter into a potential deadly force situation. And that is exactly why the law is supposed to restrict it. Every unnecessary drawn gun increases the risk of a wrong judgment, and a fatal mistake. And when there is no accountability, for when that line gets crossed, drawing a gun because the normal for every situation. And when it becomes normal, more people’s lives are put in danger.
