And there is space for at least two more bikes as the leftmost bar is empty.

The US has been declining for decades. It is now just accelerating as the cracks are reaching a critical level and the structural integrity of the entire system is collapsing.
This has been inevitable as the elites clinging to wealth and power only ever grabbed more of it, instead of relenting the injustice. In that sense it is also necessary for something better to be built after. Until then things will get worse at an accelerating pace, but the faster people step in and take back control, the fast this can be over.
You guys use them for actual credit? To me it seems that in Europe they are mostly used as a debit card directly charging your account, but compatible with the global payment processing of them.

Yeah, but he was paying the provider for providing the redundancy on this level.
We shouldn't blame him on the technical level for what is a problem with the provider on the organizational level. If this had happened to a Fortune 500 company, Amazon would have had an army of lawyers descend on them.
At the sit-in I attended in February 2024 against the bloody propaganda peddled by Axel Springer, which participates in illegal investments in settlements in the West Bank, I was made to watch a policeman choke my wife until the blood drained from her face and she struggled to breathe. She was then accused of assault and resistance in a country whose police force has been under years-long scrutiny by Amnesty International, other human rights organizations and various bodies of the United Nations for widespread excessive brutality, corruption, abduction of minors and removal of freedom of expression and assembly.
In these moments, my line of vision was replaced by a portal of time, melted between today and the 1940s, flooded by fury and the chill of fascism, as I sat on the same ground where my family’s blood is less than a century dry. As my wife was dragged away by her feet by the German cops, I ran after her, screaming in panic, the last thing I saw being her red face with the white-knuckled hands of a German police officer wrapped around her neck. As I tried to reach her, another cop tried to cut me off. I grabbed the cop’s wrist, snapped her arm to her side, and smacked her square in the face.
Thereafter, I was tackled by 4 or 5 officers, pulled out of the demonstration and quickly went into a state of catatonic shock, thinking that the German state could have just killed my wife. We were locked in a police van and thankfully reunited in the next hour or so, then thrown into jail for 6-7 hours and repeatedly denied the opportunity to call a lawyer. (This is, sickeningly, a resoundingly tame breach of German law as far as Berlin is concerned. The Berlin police are a force that enjoys weekly, sometimes daily, savage attacks on demonstrators – as well as the medics who attempt to reach them to provide care – until they are bloodied on the sidewalks or beaten unconscious behind closed van doors for sport.)
I make no apology for the blind rage that consumed me in response to this psychological, generational and institutionalized torment. My and my community’s participation in an act of entirely justified, legitimate civil disobedience should not have been necessary, save for the genocidal complicity of the German state in the extermination campaign in Palestine. I am not sorry for responding with rage to watching and experiencing violent domination by unreconstructed Zionist police officers in the face of the annihilation and slaughter of our siblings in Palestine. Rage is the righteous defense of those left with nothing else to reach for but their own humanity.
Unfortunately this is consistent with what i have witnessed at many demonstrations in Germany. Police deliberately seeks to escalate tensions by random acts of heinous violence. In particular women and minors are targeted as the police relies on the basic human decency of people not to stand by idly when a group of men is violating a women or minor. Once people try to step in, all hell breaks loose as the police now gets to storm into demonstrations beating anyone and everyone, shoving people over and on their way back collecting the people that fell for arrest. This often includes chocking them, police sitting on their backs to prevent them from breathing, beating them further as they are already surrounded and restrained by 4-6 police officers.
I have seen Antizionist-Jewish activists, who publicly identify as Jews and wear a kippah being beaten and dragged into arrest using pain grips
Despite dozens of videos showing the police violence after every demonstration, despite emergency services sometimes having to set up tents as a "field hospital" to treat the large number of casualties amongst the demonstrating people, German mainstream media subsequently reports the demonstrators as violent and rarely talks about any police violence. Particularly problematic is the Axel Springer Verlag, who has their "reporters" closely cooperating with the police in Berlin to make sure they get the right scenes in to claim violence against the police. This includes their "reporters" to insult and provoke demonstrators to escalate tensions themselves. At one demonstration i saw a "reporter" groping a minor. Despite numerous witnesses telling the police what happened and where the perpetrator was sitting after, the police refused to arrest him, or even question him.
EDIT: The Axel Springer reporter i mean is "Iman Sefati". Instead of his behaviour being questioned by his colleagues he is paraded around as a hero and victim of violent extremists in German mainstream media. He is of Iranian descent and as his father was executed by the Iranian regime, he is a key figure to the narratives of what are "good" and "evil" immigrants in Germany.
I still hear my government (Germany) making that trope when asked about yet another attrocity committed by Israeli forces or paramilitary forces.
Pretending Israel to be a functioning state of law is instrumental to pretending these actions are not systematic and done with full support and order by the government.
Thing with fighter jets is that you dont want a discount as much as you want the better system.
If you expect an air to air fight, what is a cheaper jet worth that loses against the more expensive one most of the time?
lye (sodium hydroxide) has all sorts of uses and for cleaning your pan you don't need it dry. Just buy a cleaning agent containing it.
It is one of the most used chemical products and i strongly doubt that anyone having normal uses for it will ever get a government visit.
Vor ein paar Monaten gab es doch schon mal einen Rechtsextremen Vorfall in einer Freiwilligen Feuerwehr, wo die betroffene Person sofort rausgeschmissen wurde.
Finde ich gut, dass da sofort reagiert wird.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass es bereits Browser-Erweiterungen gibt, mit denen man seine eigene black/whitelist pflegen kann. Das erfordert dann aber trotzdem, dass du dir neue Websites white-listest um sie anzuschauen und dann zu entscheiden, ob sie bleiben können oder nicht.
Wenn man sich auf die "Curation" von jemand anderem verlässt, wird es spätestens bei Onlinehandel & anderen Sachen, wo Geld involviert ist, schwierig.
For the period of occupation that is true, although i'd say that by committing the Holocaust Germany contributed significantly to the idea that a Jewish nation state would be needed for the safety of Jewish people.
In regards to German identity, it is complicated to the point of absurdity. I think the fragileness and relative recentness of a German national identity is playing a big role in overcompensation through extreme nationalism.
The federal republic is the legal successor to the third reich, which was technically still the Weimar republic, which in turn is the legal successor of the German reich founded in 1871.
The laws of the federal repbulic largely build on the laws of the German reich and even kept quite a few of the laws made by the Nazis, such as the laws around abortion. Courts today sometimes rule about upholding or revoking rulings in the Weimar republic.
The German "us" transcends the states. My Great grandmother, born in 1907 lived through 5 variations of Germany, when we seperate Weimar and the third reich.
The Holocaust certainly helped to give the final push.
You are right though that Israel is not just the result of Germany. The UK, France, the Soviet Union and other European countries helped to create it.
In all of tge mentioned countries deep rooted antisemitism and the whish to mostly get rid of Jews in Europe were a significant motivation.
Wiebke Judith, rechtspolitische Sprecherin der Menschenrechtsorganisation Pro Asyl, hat dazu eine klare Meinung: "Wenn in einem Land eine Personengruppe wie zum Beispiel queere Menschen, Oppositionelle oder Frauen gezielt verfolgt werden, dann ist das gerade ein Hinweis darauf, dass dieses Land nicht sicher ist."
So sieht das auch der Europäische Gerichtshof. Er hat jetzt entschieden, dass ein Staat nach derzeitiger europäischer Rechtslage nur dann als sicher eingestuft werden darf, wenn dort alle Menschen ausreichend geschützt sind. Wenn einzelne Personengruppen gefährdet sind, kann der Staat also nicht als sicher eingestuft werden.
Der EuGH entschied auch, dass die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten zwar selbst entscheiden dürfen, welche Länder sie als sicher einstufen. Sie müssen aber die Informationsquellen offenlegen, mit denen sie zu dieser Einstufung kommen. Nur so könnten sich betroffene Asylbewerber gegen die Einstufung wehren. Und nur so können die nationalen Gerichte diese Einstufung nachträglich überprüfen, etwa wenn sie darüber entscheiden, ob ein Asylantrag zu Recht abgelehnt wurde.
Es geht darum, dass Menschen wegen ihrer Zugehörigkeit zu einer abgrenzbaren Personengruppe verfolgt werden. Das Urteil bestätigt da auch die Entscheidungsfreiheit der Staaten, sie müssen ihre Entscheidungsgrundalgen aber transparent machen, damit sie rechtlich im Einzelfall überprüfbar sind. Damit können dann quasi Ausnahmen von der Sicherheit der "sicheren Herkunftsstaaten" geprüft werden.
Das Konzept, per Anordnung oder Gesetz Staaten als "sicher" zu erklären, erübrigt sich damit eigentlich, und es braucht immer eine Einzelfallprüfung.
Das wird darauf hinauslaufen, dass es statt einer halbwegs vernünftigen Prüfung durch das Amt dann eine Prüfung durch ein Gericht gibt, vorausgesetzt, dass die Asylsuchenden überhaupt Zugang zum Rechtsweg erhalten. Ich fürchte da werden dann vermehr Fakten durch die Exekutive geschaffen, bevor der Rechtsweg begangen werden kann, wie wir zuletzt an mehreren Fällen in Deutschland gesehen haben.
Titandioxid kann als Photokatalysator in Wandfarben wohl auch zum Abbau von Stickoxiden beitragen.
Kein Plan, ob das mögliche negative Auswirkungen überwiegt. Der Konsum von Wandfarben hat die letzten Jahre bekanntlich sehr stark zugenommen.
Why should Ukranians pay for that though?
Although i strongly doubt, that they would have R&D justifying 4x the price of Ukrainian competitors, when people in the field say that the capabilities are similar.
Did you consider that project managers often have to follow all sorts of company standards, have to figure out a way to get a dozen departments with conflicting standards together, on top of that have to catch the stupid ideas from the upper-management and marketing without telling the upper-management that they have no idea what they are talking about, on top of getting something actually done in the project?
Because often the level of tech competency has very little to do with the decision corridor that the project manager has, given everything else.
At demonstrations in Europe people shout something that sounds like "Visa Visa Palestina". The IDF, ADL, AIPAC, EJC and others quickly dismantle that Terror payment system!
