Let's see how big on words he is once he's out of opposition. Either way his leadership comes at the cost of him being a 90s style neo libertarian with his own private plane. Other than that he is conservative through and through.

So (I) expect no big investments into health care, education, green technology or public transport but more in tax cuts for the wealthy and investments into "new and revolutionary technologies that will solve all our problems for sure bro" and individual transport infrastructure (which tbh would actually be needed since the German infrastructure is in a pretty bad state with a lot of highway bridges being at the end of their life cycle but on the other hand schools and healthcare are in dire need of investments too). And for all the problems we just blame migrants and strengthen right wing populist positions.

Soo yeah, not really happy with him, not really happy with anyone else atm.

I agree. It's comparing apples to bananas and tbh both governments suck in their very own ways and I really don't want to take a side here because I disagree with them both but for very different reasons.

And you can have the opinion that the "joke" - which really isn't a joke but geopolitical criticism like most "Tankie" memes where the punch line is "look at the stupid West funding these countries" is really bland.

But my point was being that simply dismissing a source simply because it is from Hexbear isn't a particularly good reason (at least to me) because not engaging with them will only increase their echo chamber and makes arguing worse and worse for the few lemmings that still dare to do. And as someone who still sees both sides, if it wasn't for geopolitics Liberal Lefties and Tankies would easily agree on almost anything.

But you commented still. And if OP wasn't being honest about the source you'd have never known.

Jokes aside if it was only about having a safe space for the jewish they would have taken the Jewish Autonomous Oblast but they wanted that specific region for historical reasons and that is why they would have rejected the South German State of Israel the same way they ultimately rejected the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and by shrinking the German State (East and West combined compared to the Weimar Republic) to 1/3 of their previous size you would effectively end up with some hybrid form of the Palestine problem and the Donbass problem.

Personally I would have chosen an island like Sardegna where random invasions from your neighbours are unlikely but I think at the end they'd still have resettled Palestine even if you gave them the whole of Britain.

Imo not having any safety measures for the bridge piers was extremely negligent. There was this picture where you'd see cable masts next to the bridge that were being secured by extra thick concrete islands (you can actually spot one in the headline image). Really makes it look like the safety of some cables was more important than the safety of a bridge / people.

Edit: Ofc the incident was caused by the ship

Ngl I did too at first. But I was sceptical because Kingston sounds like a British bourgeois suburb rather than a chinese company (and upon my research I found out that both of my prejudice claims turned out to be true since Kingston upon Thames is literally a Royal London district where "some Saxon kings were crowned" - Wikipedia 💀). I didn't think it was impossible, but rather unlikely.

It is US American

Sauce: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Technology

Additional info:

Kingston is #1 with 34% market share (nothing new, just put it here for context reasons)

Adata (#2 with 11%), Gigabyte (#7 with 2%) & Transcend (#10 with 1%) are Taiwanese. I assume they are going to set sail for the West as soon as Taiwan gets reincorporated

Lexar (#3 with 11%) is US American owned by a Chinese parent company

Kimtigo (#4 with 9%), Biwin (#5 with 7%) & Colorful (#6 with 5%) are from the PRC

Teclast (#8 with 2%) is likely Chinese, don't have solid evidence tho

PNY (#9 with 1%) is US American

That makes 35% for the US, 14% for Taiwan and 34% for the PRC (if you count Lexar as Chinese - idk how much they are still linked to the US tho)

According to German newspaper "WELT" the investment group "emodrom Group" purchased 74,99% of the Hockenheimring from the local municipality. It now wants to invest 250 million Euros (~275 million US Dollars) additionally to the 40 million it has already spent to make the venue fit for the future. Planned are the construction of a 30.000 to 50.000 m² big motorworld, an expansion of the "Porsche Experience Center" and a new hotel.

When asked about a possible return to the F1 calendar, Hockenheim managing director Jorn Teske, explained that the Hockenheimring had always had contact with F1 but that they are planning to make a "slow and serious" return. Tim Brauer, head of the emodrom Group added "We need to ensure that we won't run into a deficit." Brauer further explained that in other countries the nation or federal state is happy to sponsor F1, something that hasn't yet been the case for the Hockenheimring. "We are thinking in terms of 20 to 25 years - and not short-term" Brauer concluded.

In case of an F1 return the circuit would have to meet F1's new criteria including 4000 - 5000 VIP seats instead of the 2000 that are already in place, fan zones, places for concerts, camping spots, etc. An expanded or entirely new pit lane building is also in the talks.

Edit:

I wrote "Tim Brauer, head of the emodrom Group, explained that the Hockenheimring had always had contact [...]." but it was in fact Jorn Teske who said that so I corrected it.

It is too cursed to not post about it

Please don't get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I've always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best.

But compared to other Distros (like Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Mint) there doesn't seem to be much excitement about it. I hardly see articles about MX and I have barely seen people outing themselves as MX users which makes me wonder:

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX' high HPD score?

Btw: feel free to take a shot every time I write MX :p
