Polish media cannot into population density.

The existing restriction on number of people in shops say max 1 on 15 m2.

With the increase of infections gov is considering "drastic measures" by reducing the limit to 1 person on 10 m2, but that might be seen as "too liberal" so 1 on 7 m2 is more likely.

Yes, reducing... WTF

A popular narrative:

> it's all powered by surplus electricity from renewables

I'd love to be proven wrong, but:

1) It's true that surplus energy from variable renewables *can* be burned by BTC mining

2) There's no evidence it's actually is being done

3) 70% mining is done in China, where variable renewables were 3% in 2018

When supply is limited the scale does matter.

The per-capita progress in UK (population 80m) can be also described as a "fiasco" when compared to that in Israel (population 9m).

And EU population is 450m.

I have mixed feelings about this publication - on one hand, illustrating an article about economics of nuclear power by a picture of an exploding liquid gas (!) tank is kind of out of the blue, on the other hand it kind of highlights that fossil gas is actually much more dangerous than nuclear power.

I guess I'll just settle on an opinion that a scientific article illustrated by tabloid-style photos isn't really too scientific.

Code from highly respected F5 enterprise web security appliances basically runs tar as root on input from HTTP at /mgmt/tm/util/bash URL πŸ€” And it's 2021.

In Poland, a writer Jakub Ε»ulczyk is accused of insulting the President by calling him a "retard" on Facebook.

Daniel Tiles recalls a classic Polish illustration by Andrzej Mleczko (I think well from 80's):

"We're ruled by idiots" the man writes on the wall.

"Should we arrest him for insulting the authorities or for revealing state secrets", says the officer.

I just realized one important thing about the numbers of vaccine doses in EU vs UK... πŸ€”

If you have any anti-vaxx or "natural healing" friends, just tell them this ᛉ in the mRNA vaccine stands for the Algiz rune that offers protection and empowerment according to spiritual literature. So this is actually a runic vaccine! πŸ˜‚ (Found by OsiouPotfur)

Graphical designers working for Kremlin love to reuse existing artwork for propaganda posters. There were cases where posters praising "heroic Red Army" used photos of American or German soldiers, which could be attributed to sloppiness.

But now this "we will thwart Russophobia" is just a verbatim copy of the original with just swastika removed... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

None of the media who reported it can actually post the original picture as they would be prosecuted for... promoting Nazi ideology.
