Slovenia is like really cool. It's like only nation that didn't have a historic fascist state and has, in the present day, no defensive capabilities.

It also has huge water reserves and until 80 years ago the nation has routinely suffered genocide and ethnic cleansing.

It has a great future ahead of it.

I am amazed JMT actually bothered to attack the piece.

Update: I have read it better and whoops, he was defending the piece. Also, he just pooped out a piece today doubling down ending in a "If you blacks wanted us silent about your concerns, maybe we'd still have slavery today".

This is the guy who the president chose to represent Portugal on Cabo Verde btw. That's the power of "not having publically available archives of your writing so people can't dunk on your former work or even show evidence of being a Chud".

It was very hard to type this as a transforming lollipop with the word "sucker" stuck on it!

PS's takeover with the other left parties was built from an anti-austerity case, and they're somewhat now the NYT pet for "Here's how you can be a left party, be against austerity politics but play nice with us". They're somewhat closer to the likes of the french socialist party, with constant weird praise of "being a left party, but **mature** and **non-ideological**" from the likes of those that deem any sense of human relief as "electoralism".

Galileo is completely down.


quote:

The entire Galileo system suffered an unexpected and hitherto unexplained signal outage, beginning on Thursday, July 11 at 1:00 pm Central European Time. At about that time, users noticed that all ephemeris stopped broadcasting, and then a Notice Advice to Galileo Users (NAGU) appeared:

NAGU Subject: Service Degradation

Satellite Affected: ALL

“Event Description: Until further notices, users may experience service degradation on all Galileo satellites.s this means that the signals may not be available nor meet the minimum performance levels defined in the service definition documents and should be employed at users’ own risk. The nominal service will be resumed as soon as possible.” 

The signal outage has persisted for more than two days (as of Saturday) and as yet no word has emerged as to the cause or duration of the signal outage. 

On the evening of July 13, a second NAGU appeared, saying simply that “Until further notice, users experience a service outage. the signals are not to be used.”

On the European GNSS Service Centre’s constellation status page, 22 Galileo satellites are listed as “Not Usable” with cause being “Service Outage.”

macron gave trump the moronic idea to do a military parade in the US, it's only fair that they get a bad idea from us
i can't wait for this to be the first step in showing deep-seated connections between nazi thugs and italian far right political parties. although it probably won't make much of a difference in public perception

found the article and translated it. it wasn't about music, apparently he wasn't invited to the bbq and got mad in a joking among friends way

apparently attacking your friends with fireworks is called the "war of spades" or something and maybe something like an egging, TP'ing, or tortillaing someone's house here in the states

Portugal: the Florida of Europe?

I don't know if I posted this on SA or even on this thread, but during the IMF intervention and election of PSD/CDS to handle that, one of the proposed things was to straight up advertise Portugal as that to invite in more elders from England and so on to retire here since it was a somewhat peaceful place + had decent weather + not as much political strife going on here.

I jokingly proposed that to Floridan pals since that's what Portugal did for decades, I never expected until then that there would be an earnest endorsement of that.
