Well I suppose meeting and praising war criminals is a step ip from murdering journalists
I suppose American insularity feeds that... and the expectation, fed by false exceptionalism, that no-one would ever go against 'Murcia...
Do most Americans even care that it is happening... it seems that a lot are "meh, it will sort itself out in time, I don't need to do anything"
France is same as UK.... Latvia starts Klase 1. at 6 ...so Klase 7. is 13-14 year old (ish)
Does anyone have any papers about the size of younger generation's feet... my tween is now EU42 (UK 8, US 9)... and no
Ireland suffered in the run up to 2008 (cheap money resulted in half built houses). Ireland is a very fragmented societal island, Cork v Dub have very different ideas of development. Latvia is protestant and low density and vehement nimby, but that is a function of soviet echoes of central planning
More population density... both countries have high density and that produces friction over use of space
And here we fly right the fuck past "unhinged", barrel over deranged and just really ram home the full on complete and total utter stupidity. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
And Latvia
So wait a second, if I damage something in international waters, the owning party can not pursue me, asking for a friend who may or may not have been close to a big gas pipeline that had an explosion in international waters.
Druzhba II flows through Ukraine and into Slovakia and Hungary. That is the one Hungary is complaining about. Druzhba I goes to Germany.
The fact that Ukraine is shipping gas at all beggars belief. Can you imagine any other war where a pipeline to the aggressor has been expected to be kept operational by allies of the invaded? Imagine, Belgium having to keep the gas flowing from Germany to France in early WW2?
To split hairs, the spouse has no specific constitutional role as far as I can research. There is an expectation of service but none is proscribed in law.
But one that says 'yeah, I hold a different view on this but fundamentally I will protect your rights' is probably better than Season 3 of whatever shitshow is going on now
America is fucking hilarious. They have a potential saviour of their democracy in Newsome but because he has a single view they disagree (trans in this case) rather than save their basic rights, they will not vote for him. You will never find a politician that you agree 100% with.
It may not be him, just a Trump... like Kim or Kadyrov or Lucashenko... great company to be in

I do wonder if both have reflected on style of negotiations. It seemed adversarial (no 'wiggle room') from the EU and completely shoddy from the UK. I think the UK was nuts to leave when it had all the right levers to control the issues but wouldn't use them.
Thanks. It has always intrigued how complicated binding and selling books is...
What are trade paperbacks exactly? Are they different to paperbacks in general?
Latvia as well for overseas voters
1/3 to 1/4 of the entire US population lives in Texas now? Wow
Private equity, as a true investment engine, is fine, but it seems these highly leveraged buyouts are the issue. Just like mortgages, debt used in any buyout should be limited to a certain multiple of investment (3x) or a percentage (30%).

Hope they have access to a lot of those lemon wipes and fresh water, the salt must be a killer on their kidneys
I just have visions of the Magic Schoolbus with Zelenskyy driving, picking up random Heads of States before arriving in the Oval Office to stop Trump surrendering
Unfortunately, the mindset of the Russian population is the biggest factor no one factors in. Most Russians only know serfdom and largesse, as long as there is the promise of bread, vodka and pensions, they will blindly follow into the furnace.
Maybe they just told him they have and he forgot to ask for receipts?
Or did he just demand he be acknowledged in return for lower tariffs and Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity corridor for a peace treaty that the EU had been negotiating since 2022...
igNoble prizes exist... it would amusing to see what they think of setting up a worst peace making effort prize ....
Trying to reduce crime... more trying to supress insurgent activity triggered by them walking the streets. Putting people who are trained to, literaly, de-escalate situations with bullets into civilian streets is a clear and present risk.
My youngest is trying his best to report every ad he gets served with this type of content, he's not even teenager. Meta has a serious problem with their entire stable, VR games are riddled with people shouting racial slurs who complain when they get kicked so "moderators" get banned for days.
For server Ubuntu... Desktop Ubuntu is good but not sure if popular
Could it be clothes were more expensive so instead fad fast fashion dressing fuelled by Shein and Boohoo, people invested in fewer higher quality altered/tailored items?
Does feel that Newsome is lining himself up for that 2028 slot.... him and Walz?
8€ in my backwards, ex-soviet 'poor' country for 500g and unground beans are 17 a kilo. Average beef is 10 a kilo, steak is 30.
Which is so weird given the size of the country and the number of people!
And cows that have good diets, high welfare standards, and low drug use. Still shocking that we, the EU, have 'religious' exemptions for the slaughtering process though.
That is true, angry old man alert... since we allowed people to have rights without responsibility, behaviour levels have fallen.
That was the point of my last paragraph. We could have been better, grown as a species, but we seem to have regressed.
Seems a bit intrusive... many gnomes will be worried...
But with responsibility, the toxic side should fall off.
Confused why he needs a licence to fish a private lake.
He is going to scout locations to build a tower in both places, with all the expenses paid for by US tax payers and then reclaimed from Russia after 30 years...
Or we introduce proper penalties for being an ass online. People hide behind "oh, you can't touch me because I am in X jurisdiction"... that should not stop anything. The ideal of internet anonymity we were promised has failed because humans are dicks.
You missed out on the 'look at all the churches' ones then... Only our orthodox church has the bestest sky fairy connection rhetoric
Out of the context that had not yet hit Europe, my mind wondered is Vance ill or injured
America has always been like this, though with up to 3% of the population living in company towns (Pullman and Corning esp.) with company stores, and not run with a Bournville or Port Sunlight mindset.
Sickness
Or you live next to Sweden and have to search the world to reimport crank pulleys because no one has any here.
Have a C70 as well... which is all fun until the glue melts...
Means Putin does not have to fly over any other airspace as well... probably meet on Little Diomede and have a helicopter constantly whirring attached to Putin by a bungee cord ready to leap back into Russian airspace...
The Nobel Committee could just not award a peace prize for a couple of years just as they did in 1967 and 1972... that would stymie the tangerine toddler.
This is not the flex he thinks it is. Just because his family did it before doesn't mean he is any good at it. I thought America was built to not have 'royalty' inherited rights.
And need the parts guy... especially if classic parts, I need some obscure bits (will go back in to my nerd SAAB box now)
The original one is not too bad as the GM 900NG. The 16v turbo is a lot of fun, if you want real fun get either 99 EMS or, for real head turning and retro, 96, with gearstick on the steering column.

Slovenia was under Tito, so it was a different kind of Communism than the Russian centric version. Countries that had firm anti-Russian/regime laws post independence / revolution have done better than those (Latvia) who tried to be inclusive and fair-minded.
Third time is the charm?
Czechs grew their own melons, Ukraine supplied Melons to the entire USSR and sattelite countries. Someone is misremembering there.
You seem to have been in a bubble that possibly benefited from Communism and is a russophile. amp.dw.com/en/why-czech...
I have lived here for nearly 20 years so I'd be interested to know who the heck you spoke with, as no one I have ever spoken with in Baltics, CEE harks back to good ol'communist days. The queues, the disappearing, the brutality never covered how good the fruit (if you ever saw it) tastes...
Western lawyers and bankers happily fly to Dubai to do deals with them, London hotels welcome them via Turkey... every single one of them is complicit and should be called out.
Geesh, arrived into Gatwick to see a Greggs and the stench of septic tank... so welcoming...
Looks like a baseball coach signalling to do the Macarena
Oxyd Magnum?
Cool...
Don't limit it to Russians, put everyone, all the European lawyers and bankers who flew to Cyprus to help wash money or buy citizenship for their children. These people were all complicit in enabling Putin.
There's a pity
Keep the receipts, then send them back and claim back the fees for re-export
And all happened within 10 years of major wars, US-Mexico, WW2, and MAGA vs reality
Atomix ... but it wasn't 3D
I recall something like that... it was primitive ray trace look and feel. I think I had it on Amiga / Atari also...q
Bluesky, can you help me remember the name of a specific, obscure PC game from the 1990s? In the game you could move around in a 3d map (movement was up/down/left/right/rotate left and right) and you had to shoot colored "balls" at other chains of balls of various colors. The premise, IIRC, was
One day it will end... and the world will thank Ukraine for its sacrifice, and silence will be the only sound.
So new tariffs on US goods should reduce that dumping. Woo for tariffs ;-) EU almond groves use more rainfall than California. The question should be, "Are there better areas to cultivate 'x' than sucking all the water out the ground we can?"
Lower production means higher prices, which is politically unwanted. US relies on access to large natural resources for its 'success', but mismanagement will reduce that success in a scarce future. www.c-win.org/cwin-water-b...
They desalinate it first with the power they produce, data centres couldn't afford that power requirement or the plant required. Unpopular opinion is that to cut water consumption and emissions, nuclear presents a really good solution to this.
Salt is very corrosive. I read that almonds are the biggest consumer of water in California, so stopping milking nuts is another response.
I just had a little fizzy feeling in my gut....
You're learning ... face masks this week... this next...
Deepseek is interesting, had long discussion about why it could be bad, not in sharing data with China but in giving responses that could influence decision making that are skewed towards China
A MUST read, because the same argumentation applies also to Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. news.err.ee/1609751759/m... via @errnews.bsky.social
The world is so worried about AI hallucinations yet Trump is actually doing it and people go "meh, he's doing the weave...", err... no... he's batshit
There was anecdotal evidence that Covid triggered T1, so logically the vaccine may stop one trigger being pulled.
Lets be honest, you could have written Uma Thurman and it would still read like Trump telling the same story
Yeah, looked like you needed hazmat for that...
'vid?
We can only hope that is reality across most countries.
12% eventually fought, but how many were willing to fight if needed after that 12%? Western Europe does have a problem in this, motivating people to realise if they don't fight, they will lose all their freedoms and 'stuff'.
Takes effort to be wrong three times in around 100 years... Germany only did it twice...
Forgetting the awkward fact that he was Georgian...
It is not like Estonia doesn't have laws against that... Penal Code – § 151(1) Estonia: "Sssshhh, Russia, it's ok, we have our own laws, courts, and prosecutors. They are, even, independent of the political sphere and we don't need you to tell us how to apply our laws, now go do one!"
Also what are they going to prosecute him for? Hanging a picture in a foreign country. Being citizen of another country who says hurty things Not believing that Russia is more than an angry toddler having a century of tantrums and stamping its feet
I used to think it was money laundering but bankrupting 2 casinos put pay to that idea.
Exactly what I came here to say, I saw the text then the NewsMax logo and thought "Well played, well played"
Latvia does the same and has another one, especially for children. youtu.be/WZtG3fg0YEA?... 4% of the population take part, equivalent of 3.2m Germans. Competition is fierce to be selected, same for children. 40k singers and dancers. Russia couldn't surpress this identity during the occupation.
Omitted... or emitted
