Reply to comment by KpcAu in Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup
That's not at all what I even joked about. I said the shitty company should pay them 150-200m if they are going to go against court rulings and build there anyway. Which would give them the option of moving and buying expensive properties which may be better than this will be, since they'll likely be forced out.
Again, I was joking but the joke wasn't that they should move and pay for their land but that they should be paid for it if it's being taken and not given back.
It's a ridiculous situation to have in 2023, but sadly not surprising.

According to article Germany has sent 18 tanks while Poland has sent 14.
​
What it does not say is how many T-72 Poland has sent, About 240-290.
Czech Republic has sent nearly 90 of T-72. They are not even mentioned as tank donors it looks like.
To many westerners T-72 are "dirty".
​
NYT is family friendly newspaper - they dont talk about that. What if your Daughter reads NYT ? Would you like her to read about T-72 ?

I've thought about this problem for a while. If x doesn't work and y doesn't work and z doesn't work, what's left?
I think it's because the problems started earlier, and go deeper, than western industrialized society.

The EU doesn't have any military forces or command structure. The EU wouldn't be involved. It would be down to national governments through NATO.
In honesty, European nations have very credible air assets. With a lot of stand off missiles. The Russian forces would have been hit from the air. Especially their supply depots. Remember the Russian army is mainly supplied by rail. The gauge break on the former Soviet border cuts both ways. All the supply depots on the borders where everything is transferred from rail to road, getting repeatedly hit. They wouldn't get very far.

I'm not arguing whether or not NATO should do something, I'm just saying that using "defensive only" as a reason is invalid

It is possible because they were willing to sacrifice their competitivness in meat production to combat antibiotic resistance. This measure will impact the production volume as well as meat prices. If the whole world would implement this measure, less meat consumption would not be a choice anymore but just a consequence.

Dang you guys are really still going at this huh? Just so we're all on the same page, you are aware that we eat bananas, right?
As before, even just compared to normal potassium ingestion alone (nevermind commercial air flight or medical x-rays), this is nothing, both in volume and in energy level. Our bodies' normal repair mechanisms can shrug off this small amount of low-energy radiation without breaking stride. This is like ducks panicking about a light rain; you literally live constantly immersed in the stuff, this is not making any kind of difference whatsoever.

Exactly. Skies darken and the mist of nano-drones descends like fog. Take a breath in, and the nanobots will create a different way to exit your body. You die of course...H.P. Lovecraft kinda stuff, but real.

Reply to Drone crashes in failed attack southeast of Moscow, regional governor says by stockhackerDFW
Failed attack? Not sure about that. Consider it a warning.
Psyops are a big deal in war, and the intended objective of these flyovers may have been to wake up the Russian zombies who think that they are isolated from the consequences of their government’s ill-doings. The social contract that Putin has with his people after all, is to do whatever, but ultimately keep them out of politics. Hard to say you’re keeping them out of politics when they’ve got military drones crashing into their backyards out of nowhere.

The first time I saw the results from a GC mass spec analysis of a few different margarines was the last time I ever knowingly consumed margarine. If I see it on a list of ingredients I pick a different brand. Scary part is that was before companies dialed up the imported contents to boost profits.
