***FOR FOLLOWERS IN THE UK (PLEASE BOOST IF YOU HAVE UK FOLLOWERS)***
I have a voucher for a free vehicle MOT at a Halfords auto centre to be redeemed before the end of May. It’s of no use to myself or anyone else that I know and it would be a shame to waste it.

The first person to send me a DIRECT/PRIVATE reply will get the voucher and I’ll update this thread publicly to confirm it’s been taken.

Thanks!

I believe that by doing so Germany is "focusing on completely wrong risk", to quote Bruno Waterfield...

(Just ignore the fact that he had mixed up EU with EU national governments but that's quite common among Brits.)

A month ago, I released a prototype of a little game about digging up and assembling fossils. If you're interested in seeing an early version of what my take on Minesweeper would look like, give it a go :) #gamedev #indiedev cheeseness.itch.io/bonesweeper youtube.com/watch?v=aiW4770dkO

As it comes out, when calls someone "forest destroyer", they - by their own words - do not mean the company destroys forest:

> The “Forest Destroyer” statement cannot be proven true or false, it is merely an opinion.”

There's a whole moral panic now about TEPCO in "releasing radioactive water" into the ocean.

tld;dr: the release is safe

The water has been *treated* to remove heavy elements and what's left is tritium that is released in nearly homeopathic dilution. Seawater already contains 3 mg of uranium (!) per 1 m3 naturally, and it's natural and safe.

Nope, but I have read dr (no longer) Andrew Wakefield who carefully engineered a whole "MMR vaccine causes autism" conspiracy only to help law firm who funded him to extort compensations from medical firms. When you have a single doctor testifying about alleged harm caused by X, when the general consensus is that X is safe, always check in what compensation claims his testimony is being used.

In case you didn't know at least in western countries tire dust, and road wear are the largest source of atmospheric plastic pollution.

And if you also live near 5G masts, you're double susceptible!

I would personally accept any vaccine, including Sputnik, if someone would offer it to me. I'm 45 and by UK schedule I will get the 1st dose by June and while so far I avoided getting infected, the risk from Covid-19 is much much larger than any risks from vaccines so this is rather simple risk assessment from my point of view.

@galaxis

Even if the incidence was 100x higher in these groups, it would be still thousands time less than COVID-19 itself.

@PublicNuisance

I had a look at the actual proposal and it seems like EC is not introducing a new measure but standardizing existing practice among commercial social media providers - some already do this screening and refer cases to law enforcement. So the proposal could actually bring some order to what is currently done entirely at discretion of private companies.

It’s very fucked up that people disappear or even ‘die mysteriously’ in countries like #Russia when you have a critical view on mr Putin himself for example.. He’s nothing more than a mad dictator like Kim and Xi Jinping.

I HATE dictators.
Fuck you Putin and fuck you Xi Jinping

Just checked the paper cited on the bottom of the picture:

"The pooled incidence rates of PE and DVT were 16.5%" for "pulmonary embolism (PE) with deep vein thrombosis (DVT)"

@copyme

Correct, but some mistakes are quite unique to foreign agents - for example it's very unlikely for a native Polish speaker to make a *grammatical* mistake like "morderców hołoty" as it twists the meaning completely. An average undereducated Polish hater could write "morderczej chołoty" (ortographic mistake) or something like that.

Russian propaganda in Poland is easily recognised because its authors typically cannot into Polish.

An article posted on an obscure .pl portal about "banderite junta" with basic grammatical mistakes indicating clearly the author wasn't a native Polish speaker.

Of course, it may not really matter for the target audience who is far-right Polish thugs, not too inquisitive about grammar...

There is no *reactor* in Natanz. It's uranium enrichment facility which used a chemical and physical process to increase concentration of desired uranium isotope but no nuclear reactions and no nuclear reactor.
