As I read this for the second time, I still wondered what's a lead pig and what do they lead and why are they not in the picture? Perhaps there's a kind of sleigh pulled by a group of pigs and two are the leaders? Still doesn't explain why there's two very heavy ingots in the pict....OOOH

A Liberia flagged freighter turned up in Denmark to pick up a new anchor.

The weeks before she was driving back and forth over an area of Baltic Sea particularly dense with comm cables and pipelines with a pit stop in Ust-Luga, Russia.

Hope someone, eg a cop, found out where the old one is.

At this point I'd be very surprised if the single pee tape with hookers wasn't actually several snuff-tapes with children.

I expected him to stop pushing for it today, due to having a fair number of republican seats threatening impeachment. Since not even he would take that risk. But today he put new tarrifs, continuing the hard line, surprising me. My prediction statistics jump all over the place, varying daily!

Well, actually this particular strike would be good if they carried out. As long as it's something skewing the fight in favor of the peoples revolt against the regime. I can go back to hating Trump right after, i just wish he just does this one little nice thing for once in his life.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Aha πŸ˜… Yes as an outside observer it is my assessment that you're with 70% probability beyond the threshold for when peaceful action still have effect. I give it 30% probability you're heading for civil war, up from 5% six months ago. I'd get my ass to California in time. Godspeed.

There is a legal method to stay in power past the end of the term. A state of "permanent war" need to be reached, so that martial law can be declared "for security reasons". During martial law presidential elections can not take place, and then the situation need to be prolonged indefinitely.

A Ukrainian high schooler danced at her graduation ceremony clutching her fallen father's military uniform close to her chest.

In Ukrainian schools, the father-daughter dance is a cherished tradition where students honor their parents for years of love and support throughout their education.

The International Criminal Court upholds justice in the face of the most serious crimes.

It must remain free from pressure and true to its principles.

We will always support its vital work and protect its independence.

30 telecoms masts AND ~15 various electrical grid units have been sabotaged last months in south-east Sweden.

The sabotages are concentrated along highway E22, ie one of the main routes needed to reinforce Gotland in case of conflict. Ports are along this route, with the main one in the middle.

This is the area around the Russian embassy in Prague.

The embassy itself is on #Ukrainian Heroes Street.

Does anyone have a number on how much a roll of fiber weighs? This seems very heavy!

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

To be fair, all the AI:s went like "please note that this way of doing tarriffs is extremely naive", so it wasn't really their fault. They were just trying to be helpful to the user. Who was a moron.

50k recently gathered in Rome to protest for democracy on a moments notice. An issue they haven't even been having problems with, lol πŸ˜‚ 200k for a country the size of USA is NOTHING. 200k is a NFL stadium event, which happen regularly. Your significant protests SHOULD be about 1-3 million people.

There's a threshold amount of people below which it is not news. Un-news are generally not reported by anyone. Solution? Make the amount of people above the threshold. Serbia recently had 12-14% of it's population go to the capital. Other cities were essentially empty and quiet.

We know how big it is, and indeed it is unreasonable for a whole bunch of states to go to the capital. But you're missing the point - disregard California - we're not even seeing the neighbour states of Washington D.C. going there!

Based on how the involved parties communicate the event I don't believe the "missing" soldiers were kidnapped. I think they drove onto a Lithuanian mine, or their vehicle ended up in water and they drowned. And the military is simply communicating a semi-secret event in a weird way.

I have started a project to enable you to view multiple geo-data sources in same window.

Technically it is a number of Chrome plugins, enables you to stream data from websites that you have open, to a 100% local tab, that combines the data.

Here is an example of me pressuring it beyond its limits.

The Netherlands seems to be ahead of most European countries in drawing the logical consequences from the fact that America is no longer a trustworthy ally. Beyond defence, the Dutch colleagues are already discussing decoupling relating to financial payment systems and to software dependencies.
