Almost beating DOGE's number, keep up the good work guys!
Isn't the first guy to fool around with his assistant though
Not true in all cases, yes if you want to read a novel you will enjoy reading it way more than reading a computer generated summary. But if you want to source information it's a whole other story. Also, you still need to use your brain to understand summaries
I am like this as well but since i also postpone everything i end up with a dozen more month after month so for quite a while now i have been using https://raindrop.io/ and it is the best thing for me. You can regularly export if you worry about losing data, don't believe your privacy is at risk there but you might want to check for yourself if you value this a lot.
Friday, as in last week in 2025?? I had to check the source since I couldn't believe there are still court cases being held over 23 years after 9/11.
The case has been wending towards a resolution since the May 2012 arraignment of a single, fundamental issue: whether the government would be able to introduce “clean” or admissible statements by defendants at a death penalty trial following their years of isolation and abuse.
This man has been 10 years in custody already and still is not convicted? Aside from what he has or hasn't done that must truly suck. Or would it help you keep hope? I don't know but I am very surprised by this to be honest.
Just any old psychological warfare firm lol
The thing is, rare earths got their name because they are barely ever found purely on their own, they have to be separated from other metals which is a difficult and expensive proces. If I understand correctly rare earths are basically everywhere but you want to find a site with a high concentration in order to make it financially feasible.
So then why exactly would it be better if China monopolise rare earth instead of selling it to other countries? Have you even read the article and my comment or are you just spilling your hate for the usa here? I mean be my guest but you're not really countering my point of me disliking China having diplomatic power over rare earths, just that you don't want the US to have it.
I agree with starving the war machine is exactly what needs to be done right now for the sake of everyone and everything on this planet. But this is beyond the scope of the argument, rare earths are mainly used in technology and the technology in weapons is mainly silicon based and China is not a big player in the global semi-conductor trade. They are a big player in the steel business, as far as I know they sell that to everyone as well including the US and Israel. So if it would be about withholding critical materials they would stop selling steel as well.
I don't really feel like you're actually trying to make a point here, except sharing your view of the world. Which is fine by me, but then why not write a post about that or something?
Also by saying stuff like 'the US is the bloodiest and most brutal empire ever seen' you come across (at least to me) as biased and people will not likely want to argue with you. I mean, haven't you had history in high school? There are a lot of massive empires in the history of mankind and the most powerful weren't the nicest per se.
Heating and cooling buildings both cost immense amounts of energy, but in places where spaces are heated the global rise in temperature generally means less energy is needed for heating because it is less cold. I don't have the experience that discussions about this favour the ones living in colder climates over the ones living in warmer climates, but if you feel this is personal let me say that you shouldn't sit in scorching heat just because the world fucked up and shouldn't feel bad about using an airconditioning. Spending a long time in high temperatures actually kills people. I was not in any way saying the people who right now don't have airconditioning should not get one, just that it is better for the global temperature a lot of people don't have one.
When all countries can access important raw materials all countries use them to make things and all countries can develop new technologies, when a certain country in this case China would try to monopolise access to these materials the power imbalance can easily shift from working together to achieve common goals to working against each other using violence to make sure they don't end up as the weakest party. Look at how much wars have been waged the last 100 years because of oil.
Actually monkeys barely eat meat and they derived from mice which never eat meat so go back far enough and eventually you'll see we didn't start out as omnivores.
Cool stuff, I'll bookmark this for when I win the lottery.
Edit: apparently TopNews tested it on Mt Etna and liked it https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Bn8NgdiHfgg
After Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” tariffs on April 2, China retaliated on April 4 with its own duties as well as export controls on several rare earth minerals and magnets made from them.
So far, those export controls have translated to a halt across the board, cutting off the US and other countries, according to the New York Times.
That’s because any exports of the minerals and magnets now require special licenses, but Beijing has yet to fully establish a system for issuing them, the report said.
The last line is also in the post, but I think it's worth stressing that they don't necessarily intend to halt all exports to everywhere. Although I don't like the Chinese having such diplomatic power over core industrial materials.
Thanks for replying, might not suggest it next time. Seems buy-european.net is much better maintained anyway.
Wish somebody told him he didn't have the cards.
I think in a direct sense you are right, but they will also have to spin the economic consequences and they might be able to spin the story but they don't get to choose about everything. He might only be able to solve this by starting another war somewhere else, which they could also spin to be believable but they can't decide wether they will win that war either. Also I think the reasons the war was started are very different to why they are continued.
I feel the EU starting to be seen as the (new) leader of the free world. Or at least increasingly so by wealthy western countries like Japan, South-Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
No offense, but I think Moscow Times has better access to secret (true) data, the fact that the published result is not trustworthy doesn't mean russia doesn't have a real number. They (the russians I mean) are known for having obsessive amounts of information about all kinds of things.
I just checked and on my end it labels Firefox as being from Canada, so don't know what's going on there. Suggested changes through the feedback form, so hopefully the people behind this will change it soon.
