What can you say? He’s a Salesman, sure he ‘might’ of destabilised the world for a bunch of consecutive paydays, but he made profit!

What a champ! /s

Doug Bowser proving his name.

Won’t be buying the Switch2 any more, it’s just not right to support such a company.

World War

Unlikely.

A middle eastern proxy war is likely, but the west putting boots on the ground is pretty much out of the question.

Aaaand he jinxed it…

Wine is not an Emulator is not an emulator.

No one has topped them yet.

They need to.

Siri is basically unusable compared to ChatGPT.

Additionally, even if it didn’t look weak, setting an established red line means Russia can snuggle right up to the line.

The best way to fix this on a global scale is to finally reclassify China as a developed nation - they get subsidised postage worldwide as they’re considered a ‘developing nation’ - China are not a developing nation by any stretch of the imagination, but are given subsidised as if they are.

How the US went about it is the wrong way too, leaving the postage union isn’t how to do it - the subsidies are fine, they help actual developing nations have a fair go.

“Not one step backwards”

Unknown if their warheads work.

Known that their ICBM’s don’t work and the ICBM’s they got from Iran were blown to high hell a few days ago.

Well, they did leave Southern Lebanon under the auspices of peace and then immediately got more rocket attacks, so occupying southern Lebanon is probably back on the cards.

Having a look now though, it seems to just bounce between be12194.ccr41.ams03.atlas.cogentco.com and be5160.ccr42.fra03.atlas.cogentco.com

Also it takes the most harebrained route, rather than going the speedy way up through Singapore>Middle East>Europe, it goes out to Japan > USA, LA > Phoenix, AZ > El Paso, TX > Dallas/Fort Worth > Atlanta > DC > London UK > Amsterdam <> France

Thanks Cogent.

Regardless, without a VPN to Germany I couldn’t read the article due to bad routing.

This is awful, but Ukraine is connected to Europe’s grid now, so it’s not as dire as if they were islanded.

Still, Fuck Putin with a pineapple, sideways.

DW blocks countries outside Europe, so if you can’t load the page, I’ve pasted the story below

A former Japanese boxer convicted more than 50 years ago of killing his boss and family was acquitted by a Japanese court on Thursday.

Shizuoka District Court ruled that 88-year-old Iwao Hakamada was innocent, in a retrial that was granted 10 years ago. The court’s presiding judge, Koshi Kunii, said the court acknowledged multiple fabrications of evidence and that Hakamada was not the culprit, according to broadcaster NHK.

Hakamada is the fifth death row inmate granted a retrial in Japan’s post-war history. All four previous cases also resulted in acquittals.

Hundreds of people queued in the morning at the court to try and secure a seat for the verdict in what has become a high-profile case that has gripped the nation.

A long battle to clear his name - In 1968, Hakamada was convicted of the murder of a company director and three of his family members two years before. He at first denied the crime, but confessed after what he later described as a brutal police interrogation that included beatings.

He was sentenced to death but lengthy appeals and the retrial process led to the postponement of his execution. A first appeal for a retrial was dismissed by a court 27 years after his sentencing. The latest retrial, which was finally approved by the court in 2023 after a second appeal was filed in 2008 by his sister, Hideko Hakamada, now 91, began in October.

Japan is the only major industrialized democracy other than the United States to retain capital punishment. As of December, 107 prisoners were waiting for their death sentences to be carried out. The method used for execution is always hanging.
