🇩🇪 Germany may transfer Sea Lynx naval helicopters to Ukraine, according to Militarnyi.
Germany is considering giving Ukraine part or all of its 21 Sea Lynx Mk.88A naval helicopters being phased out of the German Navy’s aviation service, German naval aviation commander Captain Broder Nielsen said. This would follow the earlier transfer of Sea King helicopters, which Ukraine continues to fly.

When I showed my tactile Rubik's cube around, someone said "it's an inclusive game. Sighted and blind can play".
False. Rubik's cube like chess can be multi-sensory games, not inclusive. It's something different.
You define "inclusive" when everyone, really everyone, can play. Including people with cognitive disabilities. But here, in front of those brain-involving games, it's not for everyone. For the games in question there are even fully sighted who don't manage to succeed playing, so, let's distinguish and tell the truth.
I love both games, I play both of them, but I'm far from calling them "inclusive". The risk is to turn a very specific word, in an umbrella word. Like when someone uses "woke", or whatever else, eliminating the word's real meaning but wanting to create a false enemy with anything they don't approve. #RubiksCube #inclusion #words #language
