ROJAVA. Les forces arabo-kurdes ciblées à Deir ez-Zor
kurdistan-au-feminin.fr/2025/0…

"SYRIE / ROJAVA – En moins d’une semaine, sept attaques ont ciblé les forces de sécurité intérieure (en kurde : asayiş) du nord et de l’est de la Syrie dans la campagne de Deir ez-Zor. Certaines sources affirment qu’il s’agit d’attaques menées par des cellules de DAECH / ISIS. Ces derniers jours, le nord et […]

These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe binocluars and the Fujinon 16x70 are the cream of the large binocular crop. Not counting the astronomically priced Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica produced stuff.

There are some good lower cost options like the Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe. (There is a pair of these on eBay for a cool $230 right now.) I own a pair of these and they are fantastic large objective lens binoculars. @Elliptica may be interested in these eBay specials.

You really need a solid tripod and mount to get the most out of these though. They come with a nice protective carrying case. #Binoculars


These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe IF WP binoculars have a nice pleasant easy 65 degree Apparent FOV.

Nitrogen Purged & Waterproof Sealed
Individual Eyepiece Focus
Barium Crown glass prisms.
Fully Multicoated
4 degree True FOV

I just picked up a pair of Nikon Astroluxe 18x70 IF WP binoculars. Found a good deal on Cloudy Nights.

America the FUBAR

"As a retired U.S. Air Force officer, I firmly believe in civilian control of our military. This country should be a nation of laws — not of special interests, oligarchs, or kings. Before committing our forces to battle, Congress should always declare war in the name of the people. Our military should indeed be a More

These are not beginner's astromy binoculars.

I recommend a 10x50 with a Wide 60-70 degree Apparent Field of View...which you can ascertain by them having a 6.0-7.0 degree True FOV.

10x50 binoculars will much easier to hand hold, at the lower power and also much lighter weight.

But you can start with any binoculars that you may have, like common birding glass with 40-42mm objective lenses.

Wolves Can’t Go to Court, So We Went for Them…and Won!

"In an amazing court victory for wild wolves and advocates who tirelessly speak on their behalf, the federal district court in Missoula, Montana ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the Endangered Species Act when it determined that gray wolves in the western United States do not warrant federal protections.

Petite précision : Arch est une distrib réputée pour être assez dure a prendre en main mais très adapté pour apprendre comment ca marche en détail quand on a le temps et l'envie (ce qui est mon cas). Rien n'empêche d'aller sur une autre distribution plus clef-en-main !

Buenos y antisionistas días ✨

Ser el perrito faldero de los EEUU, nos traerá consecuencias de forma inmediata, nuestra forma de pasar de todo y tragar con todo (Guerra de ucrania, genocidio israelí, aranceles norteamericanos…) nos llevará a una situación de mayor pobreza y a pérdida de derechos como no se veían desde principios del siglo XX. Este era el plan de EEUU y de los grandes capitales, destruir europa para enriquecer (más) wall Street.

Hay que salir de la Unión Europea, abandonar la otan y establecer acuerdos con terceros países de igual a igual. Recordemos que con lo firmado por la bruja del norte (Úrsula Von Der Leyen), los aranceles serán del 15%, salvo el acero y aluminio que se mantienen en el 50% (no lo cuentan en la tele), y las importaciones norteamericanas tendrán CERO aranceles! 🤷‍♂️
Pronto veremos coches americanos por nuestras calles porque saldrán más económicos que los chinos, que ya les pusimos aranceles. De locos

La pente et les kilomètres sont faibles, mais à la pluie de la veille s’est ajouté le brouillard, le vent et les températures sont plus fraîches. Commence ensuite une longue descente continue de 60 kilomètres, qui nous emmène presque 3000 mètres plus bas en altitude.
Les premiers kilomètres de descente sont laborieux, nous arrivons à peine à utiliser nos doigts pour presser les freins.

I had no idea who this creature was. Looks like a bad tranny. Apparently a popular little girl on youtube.

At 12:01AM on her 18th birthday she opened an OnlyFans and posted explicit content. The explicit content obviously already existed, which means it was clearly illegal. She made over $1,000,000 in three hours.

It's not just cam-whores. It's the degenerate faggots who guy the material.
