I am pretty sure there is plenty of excess heat in the sewers of most cities. Compared to having to redo the street and sewers from salt damage, operate a fleet of plows and all the other currently used measures, it could even be worth it if the heat comes from a boiler.
That is going to be quite a lawsuit, when an actual Dorian gets hurt.
Note that a month ago an earlier attempt failed as ships departing from Malta were attacked by drones, likely Israel drones.
Also an Israeli C130J military aircraft was flying in low altitude around Malta shortly before.

Capitalism using religion as a means?
You sure it is not the distribution of capital, dead-end employment, militarized police, obscure markets, corruption, privatization of profits and common infrastructure and socialization of the losses?
Because all of these seem much more critical to how capitalism works over religion. Especially with the Abrahamic scriptures being very opposed to greed, interest rates, gambling, doing trade in temples…
One of the animals in the Chinese year is the rat. I don’t think that there is a “satirical level of disrespect” if the animal is that important.
Those are images of Tuaregs, the nomadic people living in the Sahara. You see only few wearing white garnments. The majority wears shades of blue or even black. I trust the people who actually live in the desert to know about how to deal with the sun and heat:
British attacking Spanish people for sitting at an Irish Pub in Poland is definitely a result of Britain’s colonial endeavors and remaining settler occupation of parts of Ireland.
“The English fans didn’t like the fact that the Spanish fans were sitting in an Irish pub, which means they sympathise with the Irish,” Tomasz Sikora, a spokesman for Wrocław city hall, told Polsat News. “That’s where the whole issue came from.”
Why do settler colonialists always have the most fragile ego?
450.000 in a population of around 7 million “real Iseaelis” according to their ethnonationalist understanding. 7 million of which an unknown but significant number that has left this genocidial country need to be substracted too.
That is about 7% of the population. In Germany that would be an active duty army of about 6 million people. In the US that would be about 25 million people.
It also shows two things: The IDF is terrible at what they are doing. Having one soldier to terrorize 5 Palestinians is laughable. Israel will be calling up the West, especially the US to give them dozens if not hundreds of billions to safe their economy. Those 7% of the population make up more than 10% of the workforce.
It is good to see that Israel will destroy itself, consumed by its genocidial hatred and delusions of supremacy. It is terrible that they will murder many more people in the process.
There is plenty of women who shave or pluck facial hair.
Have been doing for many years.
I recommend you to try and ignore looking at your weight on the scale or how your belly circumference changes or the like for the first month or so. Your weight also is a rather broad metric. A kilo of muscles is not the same as a kilo of fat.
Just focus on doing your exercises well and feeling how they will get easier/you can do more reps week by week.
Another quick thing you will notice is your pulse going down. After a stamina exercise right when you stop, take your pulse on your neck. take it for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get your hearts bpm. Then after two minutes of rest take it again.
Do this every week and you will see a difference right away as your body adjust into moving.
Also i know most people want to build up big muscles and go with high weights. For getting fit i recommend looking for muscular endurance training first. This will help burn fat as you do many reps. It will improve your general endurance and it will help build muscles in a way that protects against injuries. Think of this like warming up your muscles before you enter into training to increase your max power. Alternate these two types of training over time.
I disagree on it being difficult to build muscles without a gym. Most exercises with your body weight will be more than enough for the first years of training.
For people who start at maybe being able to do 5 push-ups, hitting the point where push-ups wont train them for muscle growth will take a long while. Also what kind of muscles do you want? big packs that can do 10 reps at huge weight, but fail you while unloading a moving truck? Or muscles that are well trained for endurance and stamina? For being fit and healthy i recommend the second style.
Problem is that it is only a rhetorical shift. At the same time Germany opposes to review the EU association agreement with Israel. The same day the government reemphasized that they want to continue selling weapons to Israel against a parliamentary initiative.
They try to claim that them “talking” to Israel is working, while opposing any actual action.
It is crucial not to let them get away with it. Merz is big on talk and it is often not followed by action, or by action directly opposing the talk. For instance they blew up the former government by blocking the taking on of new debt to finance infrastructure investments/upkeep that are direly needed. Now as the new government they passed a huge block of new debt to do exactly that.
It is a poor attempt of getting plausible deniability.
Things are shifting in the EU. It seems like the EU - Israel association agreement will not be prolonged and Spain is pushing for an EU arms embargo on Israel. As that would also exclude ships carrying arms to Israel to use EU ports, this would only allow Israel to receive arms either directly from ships passing through Suez or through its port in the Gulf or complicit regimes, especially UAE. This would drive up the internal pressure in Muslim majority countries around Israel to stop their complicity.
People are tired of Israels bullshit and more and more politicians wake up to the fact that they can only lie for so long, when they cannot even gain anything out of it for their people, but instead Israel expects them to pay up. The same could happen with the US where all Trump needs to do is check the accounts properly and see how much money Israel is costing the US and what for.
Without the US Israel is done. But already without the EU as a trading partner and logistics access Israel will become very unsustainable economically. If the US wants to cover that, they will have to pay up much more.
The problem with Germany is that now they are trying to carry outwards, what they used to do inwards. Keep talking about how they remind Israel to uphold international law, how they “put a question mark” to the statement that Israel is in compliance with the laws, how the situation in Gaza is truly horrible and they work towards a two state solution by negotiations, but how recognizing a Palestinian state would jeopardize this, how stopping weapon shipments to Israel would jeopardize it, how it is all Hamas fault anyways and all the other nonsensical talking points you have heard over the past years.
The key takeaway here is that they are claiming that “talking to Israel” is what would move things to improve, while they oppose taking action as “too drastic”. It is good that they have to become louder in their words, but it is still meant to appease rather than to act.
If you mean Al-Ahli hospital it was certainly the first where there was a lot of people killed at a hospital in October 2023. It was followed by the Al-Shifa hospital raid in November 2023 where after the IDF left hundreds of bodies were found in mass graves, including medics who had gunshot wounds and their hands tied, indicating a massacre. The same hospital was then raided again with even more people found likely massacred there in March/April 2024. Since then it seems that mass destruction and murder at hospitals was just shrugged away as business as usual by most western politicians and media outlets.
It is also blatantly false. Whenever Israel made some concessions in slowing down the genocide it was after a public threat by allied governments.
Germany has been sabotaging any effort for peace and is now claiming it would have been the one responsible if there is any success. It would be laughable if they weren’t complicit in committing genocide.
Yeah, dont believe a word coming out of Merz mouth, unless there is actual actions.
The new coalition plans to treat Israel “like a NATO partner” in arms exports, effectively removing any oversight and any chance to appeal against arms exports used for war crimes.
They also want to make further financial contributions to UNRWA “dependent on extensive reforms”. Furthermore they want to remove funding from any scientific, cultural or education project that is deemed “hostile to Israel”.
In February Merz told Netanyahu he would find a way to have Netanyahu visit Germany without the arrest warrant by the ICC being executed. The only way to do that is to defy the ICC. Just two weeks ago the German president Steinmeier invited the Israeli president Herzog to Germany and subsequently visited Herzog and Netanyahu in Israel too. Aside from shaking hands with a wanted war criminal, Herzog also is known for genocidal statements against Palestinians.
Just last week Germany opposed the EU to reevaluate the association agreement with Israel on the basis that the agreement requires conforming to international law and human rights.
The reason why Merz is saying something now is because Germany is getting more and more isolated. However so far Germany wants to only talk, while giving Israel the weapons, money and diplomatic cover to finish its genocidal onslaught.
Just like Israel will not react to any words and only understand concrete pressure, Germany will not wane from the side of Israel unless forced to do so. German politics across the spectrum from the Greens on the center left to the AfD Fascists embrace support for Israel and try to shift the blame of antisemitism on Muslim (or perceived as such) immigrants, while quietly or loudly enjoying the mass slaughter of brown people.
Also note how he is saying
“Harming the civilian population to such an extent as has increasingly been the case in recent days, can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism,”
Meaning all the extent before, including executions of medics, rape of prisoners and all the other atrocities are justified in the eyes of the German government.
He added he planned to hold a call with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to tell him “to not overdo it,”
So the destruction of almost all civillian infrastructure is acceptable. Displacing people dozens of times is acceptable. Starving people for 20 months is acceptable as long as it is done slowly…
Yeah, if they cant bother to check for an opt-in, how should we trust them to respect an opt-put?
less slippery than snow/ice. but to flash freeze hot spring water, that is maybe 50°C or hotter, it must be really really really cold.
