There was a chance the appeal could lead to a longer sentence, which I’m disappointed it didn’t.

This stirred a question what happened to Johnny Somali. This was the most recent I’ve found, his appeal was denied https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us-streamers/controversial-streamer-johnny-somali-loses-south-korea-appeal-court-upholds-six-month-prison-sentence/articleshow/131996309.cms

DYK kindergarten is linguisticailly german meaning children-garden.

So it’s not that Europe can’t, they’re worried about the population not wanting to. Because the economy of Russia is laughable compared to Europe.

Fascinating.

I’m amazed that they don’t have enough refinery capacity.

Do it. The more he does the more idiocy he shows.

Next up will be the Spanish names. Los Angeles will be America Angels. Las Vegas will be America Vegas (because Vegas). San Francisco will be America Francis.

I’m shocked. Shocked!

Every iteration star trek’s lighting budget shrunk.

Double handling (or is that triple? Quadruple?) is not ideal.

The ships must flow.

I wonder if the Nicaragua canal concept would float better.

*Wikipedia says:

the combined effect of climate change and poor water-management of the 2016 Panama Canal expansion has resulted in severe bottlenecks which are expected to be exacerbated by future drought conditions. With better water management, and the ability to accommodate dramatically larger vessels, the Nicaragua Canal could supplant other freight options over the next 50 years.

Equal Earth.

US voted against it.

Trump issued his demands Friday in a lengthy social media post after a stronger-than-expected August jobs report, which could bolster the case for Fed officials to raise rates at their next policy meeting starting Sept. 15.

In his post, the president exhorted his hand-picked Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, whom he called “great,” and board members to “get smart” and “BE PATRIOTS for a change.”

“LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT,” Trump posted. “High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen!”

Fucking what?

They are worried about: Trump: “Give me ________ or I’m taking your gold.”

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

The U.S. military has been identified as the largest single institutional emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide, according to a new study.

What a terrible mismatched headline.

Having spent an inordinate amount of time on google earth looking at the topography, those look like tiny dams. They were not holding back any significant amount of water. They’re almost run of river (run of river generation just uses the natural water flow).

(Note even with the small amount held back they could generate a lot because of the steep terrain creating a lot of pressure head, so don’t go comparing the wattage to other dams.)
