It's a historic railroad bridge that has not been used for a while, steel construction, and it has been taken apart and put together many times before, sometimes for maintenance. IIRC the current mayor promised the people not to do it again, and then came Bezos, and then they didn't take it apart, they installed the yacht's masts downstream instead.
This is the bridge in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Hef
How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a "sorry we didn't mean that" article?
namely the countries that got upset, or companies that come from there.
I guess the point is that the rich countries and companies are actually happy with this outcome, since less of the pesky NGOs that bother them in the same country can attend.
The point is, contrary to how the article wants to portray it, or you are portraying it, it's not the rich countries or the companies complaining, but the NGOs fighting for climate conscious policies in those rich countries. They say that this makes it so that the rich countries can control who can go to the conference and who can't. So this actually helps those rich polluting governments and companies.
Thanks for spamming this to keep reminding me, I am a total slob, and it took me this long to go find my ID card to sign.
The actual title is:
Bigger share of COP29 badges for Global South NGOs upsets rich-country groups
And the opposing argument is that the reduction of badges for NGOs from Western Europe et al. effectively makes it so that the governments of the countries with the largest emissions can control who gets to observe the conference from their respective countries. This is coupled with the fact that fewer people can attend in the first place than last time, since the venue is smaller.
To be honest, I don't know who's in the right here, but the article definitely feels like it's taking a side, and the editorialized title makes that bias worse.
I think more observers, and a larger venue, could be justified for the biggest climate conference of the world. I think this event should be more important than "you will own nothing and be happy" Davos for example.
Sell their TLD before they evacuate as their island goes under water? Or that's just Tuvalu?
Jet warplane is correct and broad enough to be accurate. Light bomber is still closer if they want to be specific.
Calling it a fighter is what made the Russian lies about the airliner they shot down sound plausible.
They are not call signs, they are reporting names. Russians don't call it the Frogfoot, it's a name NATO uses to talk about it that's easier to remember than numbers. All fighters start with F, bombers with B, helis with H and if I remember correctly, air to air missiles with A.
The actual nickname the Russians have for the Su-25 is Grach, meaning Rook.
There is a joke going around that with Orbán it would take more time for the Russians to tale Hungary, since their army would have to roll through all the welcome ceremonies.
It's mind boggling that he got famous by saying "Russkies go home" the earliest.
Nah, we should have different days off, duh. Let me have Wednesdays off, some peeps can have Fridays.
Actually, I would prefer to have weekdays off instead of weekends, easier to focus with less people at work.
These are not even machine guns, they are random assault rifles, the rightmost one is a Dragunov sniper rifle, also why do some of them what look like silencers or flash suppressors?
WTF is going on on this picture?
Thank fuck tho, it will keep electric waste down, and I feel we are starting to figure out you don't need to spec your game to the newest graphics card for it to be fun.
