Germans forget too easily that theirs is a vassal state without full sovereignty.

Until the German people can investigate and prosecute their own intelligence services, this situation will not change. That the German intelligence services answer to the CIA is a travesty for the German people.

Anyone wondering about Merz' servitude should keep this in mind.


In Austria, they roll over. I recently changed jobs and cashed in my unused vacation days to cover the expenses during the transition. It worked very well, and my previous employer was happy that I stayed during the entire switch period instead of just taking 2 months of vacation days. They had no issues paying those days out, because it meant I stayed in the chair longer to train my replacements.

Literally nothing you have said is backed up by any evidence. Provide evidence, please, or retract your nonsense claims.

Opinion is not fact. Provide some facts to support your atrocious claims. You have provided only an opinion based on specious references to groupthink.

Spaniard here. Nope; we are full of "take the money and run" type CEO's, where they even blamed the train driver. He might be partially accountable, but it wasn't his fault in the very end.

This happened in 2013.

Attacks by russia on German railways happen at least once per month, the last one happened yesterday and a train with chemicals was targeted. They attack our production.

There is absolutely no viable evidence presented to support the claim that Russia is responsible for these attacks. It could just as easily be claimed that the CIA is responsible for these attacks - simply because the USA also stand to benefit from such actions. However it would be inappropriate to make this claim without evidence.

You are spreading disinformation.


Spain is not Germany geopolitically.

Israel is rising to fill the void, and there are many indications that this is by design, all along...


I think that's overestimating their influence and, crucially, their size. The country barely has a navy and is dependent on oil imports.


Do you forget their deal with the NSA? And their financial prowess?


What "deal"?


The 2009 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on signals intelligence (SIGINT) sharing.

Did you not read the Snowden revelations?


Yes, it is a very low-ball estimate. The more accurate estimate is that Iraq lost 5% of its population, and in many areas, Iraq continues to lose babies born with birth defects due to the use of depleted uranium.

Note that this report was filed in 2010, and the fatalities have continued since then.


They're used in various hackerspaces around the world for membership administrivia .. Metalab in Vienna, for example, uses them as a door lock mechanism ..


The Japanese islands are situated in one of the most geologically active regions on Earth, primarily characterized by multiple subduction zones where four major tectonic plates, producing 'new' Earth, emerge.

The Alps are very, very old in comparison.


Austria tends to have pretty rigorous bean-counters overseeing budgets like this, especially when it comes to public-good services such as railway.

It is one of the things that makes living here so .. infuriating at times .. but also .. rewarding.


Interesting. In UK, I think the big construction companies would hire these bean-counters then use them to out-manoeuvre the ones that are hired to replace them. Quickly nobody knows what a reasonable price is, and the govmnt has to go with choice of one out of two overpriced bids. (I have no direct experience, this is just what it looks like from an observers perspective)


Chalk it up to the differences between socialist-adjacent and capitalist-adjacent societies, I guess ...


This is a brilliant piece of software and I've had a blast learning about it.

I would LOVE to see this feature: pass it a video, get a formulated choreography based on that video. For example, take a Project21 or Avantgardey video, do some AI/ML voodoo, import their choreography.

Think that'd be possible?


If this worked I'd love to see this applied to Bob Fosse's 'The Rich Man's Frug'. That kind of choreography is the kind that makes me wish I'd picked a wildly different career path.


I was always kind of dissuaded by the chunky, bar of soap nature of the Nokia devices. (But then again, I had a few OpenPandora to play with as well..)

I had high hopes for the Creative Labs Zii Egg back in those days, it seemed to me to be a better Linux-based phone-like device. What a world it was...
