I feel like that Hungarian player may have hosed up, since it seems like this has become a big thing now.

the big “secret” in tennis is that it is also massively corrupt with rampant match fixing and copious use of performance enhancing drugs the sharapova incident could have led to something but i guess it’s in everyone’s interest to ignore it

Absent pandemic related border concerns yeah the border with China never closes and IDK what's going on with the Russia border these days but it was free passage there for at least a decade plus too So yeah they're probably enjoying inexpensive Chinese phones Posting from a Gucci brand Chinese phone now myself as it happens but plenty of $100 smartphones that work just fine for regular use It rules that people assume Koreans are like some uncontacted tribe that have no conception of consumer technology because they live on the "wrong side" of some artificial boundary imposed by their same overlords

The western idea of north korea is basically like Unterland in Venture Bros, literal Mordor inhabited by cartoon villains who are both monstrous and laughable and exist only to be slaughtered freely by shining square-jawed american heroes.

Kissinger met Wang Yi and Xi? That's a pretty big round of tour. Let's see if the vampire says anything important to a newspaper. Also still no sight of Qin Gong, since he talked to Blinken. He is not going to the Brics summit either.

I am going to call that Qin Gong extramarital affair rumor stupid made up rumor. I mean it could happen, but it's not how CPC deal with cadres who have extramarital affairs. Having an affair with a woman is different from having 3 mistresses and giving each of them an apartment. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 10:08 on Jul 20, 2023 |

crepeface posted:goddamn, the motherland showing the Aussies up when it comes to refugee treatment. From 1994 to 1998, it was used to house the homeless, including some asylum seekers, in Hamburg, Germany. In 2005, it began to be used by the Netherlands to detain asylum seekers in Rotterdam. In 2008, an asylum seeker resident of the Bibby Stockholm died of heart failure following repeated failures to provide adequate healthcare. In 2013, the barge was used by Petrofac as accommodation for construction workers at the Shetland Gas Plant. During this time, it was berthed at Lerwick, Scotland. In 2015, a man from Saltcoats, Ayrshire called His Majesty's Coastguard to report that two bombs had been planted on barges - the accommodation ship Gemini, and the Bibby Stockholm. He admitted a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour and was sentenced to a six-month tagging order. The barge was finally towed away from Lerwick by the Cypriot tug Mustang on 31 May 2017, although it had been unused for over a year. It was subsequently towed to the Danish island of Bornholm. In August 2017, there was some discussion by a property management company about leasing the barge to provide university accommodation to 400 students in Galway, Ireland, along with the Bibby Bergen. However, the plan was generally not workable - the existing docks were not suitable, and the Supreme Court of Ireland had ruled that such a use would require planning permission. In June 2018, the barge was moved to Piteå, Sweden, to assist in the construction of Markbygden Wind Farm. It stayed there until at least 2019. In April 2023, the Government of the United Kingdom announced plans to use the ship to house asylum seekers at Portland Port in Dorset, because it would "offer better value for money for taxpayers than hotels", referring to the £5.6m bill for accommodating asylum seekers in hotels. However, The Guardian reported in July 2023 that the barge would deliver only a trivial cost saving. The plan is for the barge to stay in the port for at least 18 months, containing 506 asylum seekers whose asylum claims are already being considered by the government. The barge would also contain healthcare provision, catering facilities, and 24-hour security. The plans have met widespread opposition from humanitarian organisations, the local MP and local authorities—who are Conservatives, the party in government. Dorset Council explored legal action to prevent the barge from arriving. On the morning of 17 July 2023, the barge left Falmouth for Portland Port. In July 2023, an open letter signed by over 50 NGOs, MPs and peers called on the barge's owner, Bibby Marine, part of Bibby Line, to acknowledge its founder John Bibby's links to the Atlantic slave trade and to end the practice of containing asylum seekers on its vessels.

slave to my cravings posted:I thought they used that electronic line in/out system for tennis or is that only for televised men’s matches The Hawk-eye technology is only used in high profile tournaments but more importantly, it's not used on clay. Because on clay, the ball leaves a mark and you can literally just look at it to see where it landed. The umpire just refused to do that, and while Zhang Shuai was still complaining about that, the Hungarian player intentionally removed the mark with her foot which is why Zhang got pissed and forfeited the match.
