Step up military aid to Ukraine significantly. That is the only way to peace. Giving in to russian demands would only lead to a short cease fire, before they launch their next attack.
That so many Germans have bought into russian propaganda is a major hurdle.
Some of us are given free meals to eat in our paid meal breaks.
Nothing fancy though. Most times, the chef only makes a starter or a dessert. Rarely both.
• Not an invasion of privacy.
• Activating a sprinkler would be a better deterrent than sending an alert to Simon.
It can be that. But it is also a medium for public forums.
I’ve never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.
Venti, that’s twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!
Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.
I’ve actually never found a name of an IKEA product to be fake. They can be obscure, odd, and some would normally be split. But never truly fake. Though, FEJKA does mean “to fake”. Which is an honest name for a series of fake plants.
It’s not up to date.
• Whatever cars we produce, should be battery-electric.
• Eastern Germany is in need of employment opportunities.
• It’s a plantation, and Tesla is required to plant trees elsewhere.
• Elon Musk is a terrible human being. But at least in Germany, there is a functional government to oversee this factory.
Which is to say, I have no objections to Tesla building a factory here.
Addendum: Yes, public transportation is better, if you have it. Living in your workplace is even better. For some of us, driving a BEV is a pragmatic compromise. Hydrogen is wasteful and stupid. Fossil fuels, including most hydrogen, is fucking stupid. AfD (aka. “We’re definitely not Nazis”) thrive where unemployed is high. Those trees are now houses, furniture, and toilet paper. By functional, I don’t mean efficient, corruption-free, or anything like that in absolute terms. But compared to Texas, CCP-China, or most other places in the world, it is somewhat functional for the purpose of overseeing industry. Well, apart from those giant holes in the ground where there’s coal, and all those emissions scandals. And the German environmental movement is, in large parts, a bunch of unwitting russian sock-puppets. Ripened for the enshittification of the internet by decades of soviet/russian propaganda.
And using “lbs” makes it clear that the publication is not targeted towards people who think critically.
Chill.
And don’t think you can convince me that elephants are real.
Well, I hope some will question the validity of this particular claim after reading my comment. Many more will probably question it after reading the comments, from others, that have found the measurements to likely be recorded incorrectly.
If someone made an accusation of pollution with a substance I could see them using or producing, I would be more inclined to believe it.
Worker’s rights transgressions? Yes. Bulldozing a frog pond? Yes. Dumping mercury? No, that makes no sense. I can’t see where mercury would be introduced in any meaningful quantities.
Also known as the Scandinavian mile. It is very commonly used in Sweden and Norway to describe long distances.
Before the introduction of the metric system, there were many local miles. Some a bit shorter than 10km, some a bit longer.
It’s been a proto-democracy for so long, that it has become a pseudo-democracy.
There’s a good chance you are mistaken. It was not specified which type of mile they are referencing.
The only sensible mile to use would be the Scandinavian mile (10.000m). = 6000km range.
Another possibility is the nautical mile (1852m). = 1.111,2km range.
And there are plenty of other “miles” to choose from.
Steve does go on, and on, and on, and on… Quite challenging, if you have a tight deadline.
Trans women are women. And I will continue to treat them as such. But if we do not discriminate within competitive sports, most disciplines will be for men only. Because sexual dimorphism. Not good. So we have a league for women, that let most women compete for their medals and titles independent of the mens’ results. Much better. Not perfect, better. Are there enough for a third category? A fourth? Life sucks.
But you don’t have to care about winning over others. You can get on your bike and compete against your previous times. And you will probably do so in mixed company. In casual races, all competitors are often despatched together.
Or if you really want to compete, even though you don’t fit into the boxes neatly, try equestrian sports. The boxes are much roomier. The saddles are also much more comfortable, and your sex and gender does not matter.
The UCI’s stance on trans women is not transphobic. In line with other sporting federations, they have found that going through male puberty gives a person who transition afterwards an advantage over cis women. So, they have decided to have prioritise the fairness of competition. There are plenty of valid reasons for criticising the UCI, but this is not one.
It’s more positive than I expected. 😁
