    • Biden, Dems Suddenly Realize TikTok Ban Means TikTok Will Be Banned

  • Haha.. so trump started the ball rolling, then during the whole Biden period they litigated it all the way to the supreme court citing imminent danger to national security in many many words and these arguments where upheld on all levels.

    And now all of a sudden Biden will not enforce this law leaving it to trump, and Trump will extend..

    So not so imminent danger after all. If this goes to the courts again, the fact it can be postponed seems a good argument against the government case.

    Edit: and trump started it, but the Dems will get to eat the blame for the ban.. and Trump will be the hero for saving it... Rofl

  • H1Bs are payed 40-60 cents on the dollar while you can work them harder and they can't whine or get sent home... So..it does help the bottom line.

  • Is this not partially due to preventative screening for specifically breast cancer?

  • It's also waste disposal of the blood, probably needs something special as normal Pfas destruction probably is not setup to include biohazard materials..

    Still that pricetag would be insane if per person.

    • Oil tanker sabotage crew were poised to cut more cables when caught, Finland says

  • Downplay it all you want, I think it's pretty serious what they are doing and I think all vessels going in and out of lake NATO should be boarded and inspected and detailed tracked. I'd even go so far to require them to have a black box installed that real time reads out and transmits ship info. Turning off your black box or tampering with it means the ship is sealed and the crew as a whole is charged with a crime of tampering with the box. The crime is added to the law in each of the surrounding NATO countries and carries a hefty fine and seizure of the ship and her cargo. How's that for political change under threat of violence.

  • People being frightened is not needed. If it aims to affect political change (which it does) through violence (which it is) it is therefore terrorism.

  • Why not? Using violence against civilian (infrastructure) to achieve political goals.. seems to fit.

    Sure you could argue violence.. my take would be if you are using an oil tanker to drag a few ton piece of metal with the intent to break stuff.. it's pretty violent.

  • Why though? He is a sack of shit and can rot in hell for all I care.. his art can still be enjoyed. Having him take that way means he has even more power.

    I would suggest obtaining it in ways that do not give him new money... Like buying books second hand.

  • Tx! Als 2 losse dingen is prima denk ik. Eventueel stil ik gewoon klitteband op de tassen overhang (op de drager) en maak daar het zitje op vast.

    Denk dat ik vooral wil weten wat ervaringen zijn met goeie robuste fietstassen waar een hoop in kan.

  • Just a signal to EU to make sure they don't still rely on Russian gas via detours. Once the EU is weigned of completely the pipe goes. It's not as if it can be protected.
