Wonder if they could make an explosive filled Cessna stealthy enough for that...

Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead" ( www.eff.org )

Bacterial enzyme strips away blood types to create universal donor blood ( newatlas.com )

"Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lund University, Sweden, have used enzymes produced by a common gut bacteria to remove the A and B antigens from red blood cells, bringing them one step closer to creating universal donor blood."

ArcaneGadget ,

So, how bad would it be if some of those enzymes made their way into the blood stream of someone with blood type A, B, or AB?

ArcaneGadget ,

No-no. I was thinking more along the lines of: What if some of those enzymes for stripping blood cells of antigens got into your bloodstream and started stripping your own blood cells of antigens. If for example a blood donation hadn't gotten "filtered" well enough after the enzyme process.

Anywhere from 3-1/3" to 10" depending on where point A is located in space relative to B and C...

As a car guy, there is so much wrong in this picture

Why is he running motorcycle tyres?

Right front wheel is a spoked alloy wheel, but the left is some kind of inverted steel wheel or something, with no space for any brakes.

Spare wheels are way smaller, much wider and generally completely different than the ones on the car.

Why is the pit crew wearing helmets, but the driver isn't?

What is the random wrench for?

The car is styled like it has a turbine engine, but Mario is sitting right in the middle of the intake, blocking it.

The one wheel we can see, doesn't have a center nut or anything that the impact wrenches on the ground would fit on.

Latvian government approves $10 million for Ukraine's reconstruction, defense fund ( kyivindependent.com )

The Latvian government approved on April 2 around 5.3 million euros (roughly $5.7 million) in support of Ukraine's reconstruction in 2024, as well as 4.3 million euros ($4.6 million) in defense assistance via the European Peace Facility.

ArcaneGadget ,

Any help is good of course, but on a national level, isn't 10 million dollars like, fuck all?

ArcaneGadget ,

Huh, I heard about this incident. But the image is quite a lot funnier than I imagined.

ArcaneGadget ,

That's pretty spot on.

ArcaneGadget ,

I don't know if this is a factor here, but we have gotten an ungodly amount of rain through the last months, so everywhere is pretty squishy.

ArcaneGadget ,

Go fall from a 10th story balcony, onto a pair of bullets Orbán. You fucking traitorous piece of shit.

Slightly confused by the title: TIL the oblast around St. Petersburg is still called Leningrad oblast even though the city is no longer called Leningrad.

Also that seems like a very far reach with a drone doesn't it? And pretty close to the Baltic countries and Finland. Unless of course it was launched by operatives behind enemy lines... Just seems a bit strange. Are there not valuable targets closer to Ukrainian territory?

ArcaneGadget ,

Makes sense. I just didn't know those drones had that kind of range. That's pretty impressive. And pretty scary actually...

ArcaneGadget ,

I wasn't disputing that in any way? I was just curious about the St. Petersburg target.

ArcaneGadget ,

Makes sense. St. Petersburg just seemed like a very long reach. More for technical reasons than anything. But kudos for pulling it of.

ArcaneGadget ,

Oh no, I didn't mean to imply that another country is covertly bombing Russian targets. Just that flying drones in their vicinity might make them uncomfortable. But then again; they are bordering Russia. So it's probably not a real concern...

ArcaneGadget ,

No doubt about that. It just seemed like a very far reach. For technical reasons more than anything. I was just wondering if there aren't targets that are just as valuable, but easier to hit.

ArcaneGadget ,

T R I G G E R E D ! ! !

ArcaneGadget ,

I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; "and that's my theory about..." And I'm like; that's not a theory, that's a hypothesis...

ArcaneGadget ,

That depends on where you live though. Here in Denmark, as an example, we have a certificate called "Statskontrolleret økologisk" which basically translates to "Government-certified organic". There are specific guidelines and rules that need to be followed, to be allowed to use this seal on your product.

U.S. Ambassador Says Country Is Working on ‘A Final Solution’ After Vetoing Gaza Ceasefire Resolution ( www.mediaite.com )

After the vote, Thomas-Greenfield defended the veto, which was the lone vote against the measure. The final tally was 13 in favor with one opposed and one abstention. She also touted a resolution submitted by the U.S. calling for a temporary ceasefire with the condition that Hamas release the hostages first....

ArcaneGadget ,

Ah yes: If you guys just give up all the leverage you have accrued, we promise, we will stop shooting at you once we feel like it. Then afterwards, we can start implementing "the final solution to the Palestinian-problem"...

Sounds like a sweet deal doesn't it....

ArcaneGadget ,

I don't know what the fuck they were expecting?
