If he doesn’t, then he could come out and state that and address all of the republican problems.

Who/what is ADL?

Didn’t some of the old russian capsules have a gun as standard to shoot any dangerous wildlife when they landed in Siberia? Not sure if that has continued, probably not a good idea anyway!

… I mean, Iceland doesn’t have oil, it’s an island made by volcanoes on a plate boundary.

Iceland has loads of green energy though (geothermal & wind) and is too far from anywhere else to really transport it (although that would be nice!). So it is helping, and it is helping to advance the technology/engineering knowledge for the future.

The fracking ones being built by the oil companies are less beneficial… Better than not doing it probably, but not exactly green… So with you on those ones!

The Icelandic one isn’t.

The ones run by oil companies are.

The Icelandic plant is NOT doing that though (just to be clear)

Ty, I was expecting them to be russian flagged to ‘dare’ NATO to mess with them as an excuse to do… Something

They are russian flagged vessels right? What does that mean in terms of ability to do things about them?

I assume you can’t legally just board/sink them, even with cause?

Pretty sure it’s this one: https://youtu.be/FAAQVntpk00

Goes through the photos to get an idea where it failed (towards one end). Then looks at manufacturing photos (milling down carbon fiber in a pressure vessel is crazy!) then looks at strain guage graphs.

Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip… Just nobody checked it…

Almost anything might have been better than nothing. They voted for it and he still seems to have high approval ratings 🤷‍♂️

My (very rough and possibly incorrect) understanding was that there was a lot of government subsidies of things and lots of government jobs that somewhat existed just to employ people.

This resulted in huge government expenditure as rich/middle class people took advantage. (I heard something about heated swimming pools as electricity was so subsidized. Not checked that though) This meant that the government was always teetering on bankruptcy (again) and the economy never really grew.

My understanding was basically that the country was pretending to be much richer than it was. This is more about resetting to what it can actually afford - hopefully setting itself up for future growth.

If the government went bust, most of this would have happened to an extent anyway. I’m not sure what other options there where, I think the other option at the election was to spend their way out, but they had no money and that would have pushed inflation even further.

This guy is very much the opposite of my general politics… But I think he has had the right idea with the economics here. Better to hurt now and be better later than hurt a little for ever (and not really grow… And risk the government defaulting again)

However… I don’t trust him to actually make everyone better off once the economy is recovering. Expect income disparity to continue growing.

Rich is being subscribed to the financial times?

Dropping as in no longer using, rather than dropping it on the table and walking out.

Good news.

You laugh at someone clicking it then paste a URL shortener link…

Don’t hold you breath…

From BBC:

The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation’s parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country’s national broadcaster.

Already officially voted down. Not sure about what’s happening in practice though

Oh cool, I thought they had shut down
