Just for clarification, in case anyone is in the same situation as me…
Clicking on that link just takes me to the MSN front-page for some reason… The French version, because I live in France. This article is from The Jerusalem Post and the lead is:
The BBC’s Spanish-language service released a program claiming that “Jewish wealth and influence” in the United States is the reason behind the United States’ ongoing support for Israel, according to a translation produced by Jewish News on October 20.
As a Canadian, as much as I like it when news providers stick to their guns, I think the CBC will also probably need to make some updates to the way they use the “T” words in the future.
@sarsaparilyptus That still doesn't beat the owner of the most popular footbal club here's take:
FCSB owner Gigi Becali has commented in characteristic style on the conflict situation in Israel, which has declared a state of war after rocket attacks by the Palestinian Hamas movement. "The events in Israel... Excluding the fact that people are dying and it's not good, any war is to our advantage. And in football, and economically. They won't be in the mood for football," said Gigi Becali, referring to the fact that Romania is in a group with Israel in the Euro 2024 preliminaries. "And economically, there are 500,000 Jews who will come to Romania. They are afraid. They have money, they have that... They'll buy houses," Becali added. "But it won't last long. The Jews rule the world and you start attacking them? You attack their children over there? They leave them and they'll be wiped out in five months. The Gaza Strip will be dust! That's how I see it. They'll wipe them out. They've got billions. They rule the world! How do you deal with them? It's like me fighting Manchester City," added the FCSB owner.

Did you not read the article and just react based off what you think is in it? What they are protesting is the relocation of the red light district to outside the city
The Dutch are about the least afraid-of-sex people there are. It sounds like the mayor is corrupt and developers want the land (which is prime real-estate right near the central train station) for luxury Russian oligarch stolen-loot banking schemes, which is pretty much what the central city of every major European capital is used for these days.
That’s correct, but a lot of foams and soft plastics are also inherently unstable under normal conditions. Many consumer products have foams or soft rubbery exteriors that will quickly breakdown in a matter of years. These products should just be banned, they just contribute to landfill waste and planned obsolescence.
The company acknowledged that the foam it had chosen could crumble in heat and humidity and send potentially “toxic and carcinogenic” material into the noses, mouths, throats and lungs of users.
Not only was the foam dysfunctional, the material was fucking carcinogenic.
Exhibit #482,683 on why capitalism and medicine are inevitably a horrible combination.
And on why regulations and independent audits of product/service health effects are entirely necessary. If people could stop being such fucks and prioritising revenue, we wouldn't need a bunch of people to investigate, document and litigate their bullshit. And we wouldn't need courts to sit there and establish whether the law let's them do that in that precise way right this minute.
Greedy parasites going out there, killing us, profiting from it, and making a bunch of extra work for us, just to prove they're being greedy malicious parasites.
Company decisions should have personal consequences for the people who benefit the most from them.
Yes. I had a recalled CPAP machine. I had to pay around $1000 to buy another suppliers machine. In the end they said they would give me $40 to sign a release which of course is no thank you. I feel like they owe me half the cost of the new machine. What a ripoff. The way they get around that is just to say the machine has 0 value after 5 years which is not really true.
The whole process was horrible too. Got a notification which basically says you should not use it any more and talk to your doctor. They basically said you should continue to use it. Total double speak. Then at the same time the company says they are working on a plan. Then after streaching it out a year they say it is over 5 years old and your out of luck.
Thankfully I just purchased a new one immediately and skipped the drama.
The real problem is the whole idea of self regulation of companies. We should have inspectors and things like this should be randomly bought and inspected.
I agree, and, furthermore, corporate death penalties for this kind of shit need to be an actual thing. Did your actions directly cause disease and death? Yes? Great, we’re dissolving your board, banning them form serving on the board of any publicly traded company for a decade, liquidating company assets, and criminally charging anyone who touched this shit with a 10-foot pole.
You’re entitled to that opinion, but if I go out right now and murder someone with my vehicle due to deliberately or accidentally getting drunk, I’m probably going to jail. Corporations have demanded that they be treated as people, so…fine. Let’s give them what they want.
I had one of those devices. I was prescribed it after being in the hospital for an unrelated reason. Had no idea I needed one, made a hell of a difference. I was contacted by the recall and gave them all my info. They have let me know several times that they won’t send me a new one unless I can send the prescription from 10 years ago. The sleep study place was contracted with the hospital, but the office has since closed. I let them know and they just told me,“Too bad, so sad.” I was able to buy a used machine off Craigslist for $180 that is better than that old Phillips. Sorry for the verbal spew, all just to say, fuck Philips.
Pretty sure they would’ve accepted a current prescription too, from your current sleep doc. I had a really old prescription too and had no issues with my current doc handling the paperwork
I didn't realize I needed another prescription to get a replacement CPAP machine. So now I get to scramble to get a prescription from my new doctor because my old doctor is out of network now.
Milei is an idiot, but I can’t blame Argentinians (much) for voting for him. What other choices do they have that they haven’t tried several times already, each time with disastrous results.
It would be interesting to know how many of the votes he’ll get are actually votes “for him” as opposed to “anything but the established parties”.
That’s actually the best summary I’ve read for a long time.
Having said that, besides Milei being a right-wing misogynystic asshat, linking the peso to the dollar might actually do the country’s economy a lot of good in the long term. It has been tried before - sadly unsuccessfully because the rampant corruption in other places more than negated the positive effects, so Milei’s success there probably depends on a) whether he actually does what he’s promising to do, b) whether the new government actually will be less corrupt than the current and previous ones (though being any more corrupt than the Kirchner clan is going to be super hard), and c) whether the people will support the changes long enough once they realize that it means they too will get less subsidies and government hand-outs.
That’s an interesting business to be in, it sounds like they just have power plants on boats they can dock where needed to provide power. So if they didn’t get paid they could literally sail away with the power plant 🤣
Probably makes sense for infrastructure in some parts of Africa.
So it's a good from Karpowership's parent company's POV but if its customers could afford their own power plants that would be a better solution for them.
Ty for the info. The ZA deal probably makes sense.
Tbh I’m disappointed at how small it’s recorded engine power is. Imagining it being able to apply it’s city sized power generation to its propeller and hydroplaning away 😂
I like how people that are perfectly ok with giving amnesties for human rights violations and war crimes (the 1977 Amnesty Law) are complaining about an amnesty for an invalid administrative act. Fucking fascist hypocrites.
