It is literally true. Every word of it.

Jordan (formerly Transjordan) is the Arab state carved out of the British Mandate of Palestine after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

The rest was designated as a Jewish homeland, but the Arabs violently objected.

Of course, every other party of the Ottoman Empire except Turkey itself is also now an Arab state.

In the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, one day after the modern state of Israel was created, it was invaded by the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

Israel won, but Jordan annexed the West Bank and Egypt annexed the Gaza Strip.

I seriously considered going twin, but there are lots of disadvantages. Money is a huge one (cost, fuel, maintenance, insurance). But it's really not clear if twins (especially light twins) are actually any safer.

1) If you lose an engine on takeoff, there is a certain risk that you auger in, especially in a light twin, especially if you are not super current. Landing straight ahead in a field might actually have more survivability (depending on the surroundings for your airport).
2) The most common reason that engines quit is fuel (bad fuel, out of fuel) and the twin doesn't help with that.
3) If you do lose both engines, now you have a heavier aircraft and a higher approach speed. The energy of a crash is mass * velocity^2. A lighter and slower aircraft will do better.

I'm a former skydiver and a current pilot, so I'm not afraid of risk. I certainly do my best to manage it. All life is risk vs reward. You can die sitting at home. You can die in a car. When I found myself not jumping enough, I retired from skydiving. Over the years the fun went down and the risk went up (due to me doing it less often).

Honestly looking at the video posted below, I can't figure out what happened. It seems hard to get into that extreme of an attitude at such a low altitude. I'm a 500-hr private pilot.

It's not a Boeing.

A better test would be to submit a consistent sample to all different testing companies, multiple times.
Test for consistency across companies, and inside one company.
Those that can't even do the latter truly deserve to be closed down.

Thanks Richard, no need to comment every time though.

Sometimes this is because the customer can't write a decent specification, so nobody will bid except on something more akin to a time and materials basis.
Wouldn't surprise me ...

"Bookbans."

Sure. Tell us all about these "banned" books.

No. They were simply ruling on what the existing law says.

They called on the Alabama state legislature to clarify the law, but the law says what it says.

Those people don't know what either unregulated capitalism or communism look like.

Watch any of the vtubers who have picked up this game. Hololive and Phase Connect have set up dedicated servers and have people streaming the game pretty much 24/7.

And they love it.

And those vtubers collectively have tens of millions of subscribers.

It's a genuinely good game, and its popularity is deserved.

I still find it amusing that the only way I can remember how to spell "fuchsia" is by saying "fucks-yer" in my head.

Why have languages had to devolve from the simplicity and beauty of common lisp?

Because syntax matters.
