Maybe we should just start doing the Olympics naked again, like they did in ancient Greece.
Still though; aesthetics are important! I think I'd rather have the occasional failed infrastructure than being surrounded by functional ugliness. Maybe my opinions would be otherwise if someone had died or been seriously injured in these two accidents.
Future history books are going to be so stupid.
Could be fun, I guess. Though I kinda doubt it will be broadcasted here in Norway.
Under the motto “Music without borders,” it will see 14 young singers, aged between 9 and 15 years old, competing from BRIC nations and neighboring countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritius, Mongolia, Russia, South Africa, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Mauritius feels like the odd one out here. All the rest are either BRICS members, or friendly neighbours of Russia.
Bad policies under the communist regime followed by bad policies under the early democratic regime. Let's hope their current regime is able to fix the mess their predecessors made.
Exciting news for us Linux fans! I'm thinking SUSE Linux is a likely choice of distro, since they're based in Germany.
That move lasted for a decade before Munich returned to Windows -- in no small part because the mayor wanted Microsoft to move its headquarters to Munich.
Huh. I knew about their switch back to Windows, but didn't know Microsoft's choice of headquarters location was a factor in the decision.
This is seen in Singapore's policy known as the Proximity Housing Grant that financially incentivizes people to live with, or near their parents and children.
That's an interesting policy, which has never occurred to me.
"Research shows that attending faith-based services four times per month will add 4-14 years of life expectancy."
Wow, that is crazy.
I didn't know the plant was able to grow in so many places. I guess the only reason we don't grow much of it here in Europe is the high labour costs.
"Unfortunately, during the last day there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip. This happens in war," Netanyahu said
Yes, about 30,000 times so far in this war.
There's a part of me however that suspects whoever launched that missile knew exactly what they were doing.
Several other aid groups suspended their Gaza operations after the attack, including Project HOPE, which provides health care in Gaza, and the group Anera, which helps refugees around the Middle East.
The AP reported that ships carrying 240 tons of aid have turned back from Gaza.
"Accidentally" blow up a few aid workers, and all aid workers leave Gaza, leaving the Palestinians to starve to death.
A fascinating story. I wish them the best of luck!
Also this makes me want to play Football Manager again.
US politics is such a fascinating mess.
Honestly though, I think third parties would be better served aiming for smaller targets; try to get representation in state assemblies, then the House. Going straight for the big prize seems like a complete waste of money and effort to me.
I used to read Cracked every day. It could be surprisingly insightful for a comedy site.
We reinvented the sail. Good news though!
Preservation of nature seen from a different perspective.
