Einen ansonsten sachlichen Artikel haben Sie oder ein in Ihrem Namen handelnder Redakteur völlig untergraben, indem Sie das Wort Genozid in Anführungszeichen setzten, als ob es sich um einen falschen Gebrauch, eine Übertreibung oder eine regelrechte Verleumdung handelte.

Glauben Sie, dass das, was Israel der palästinensischen Zivilbevölkerung antut, kein Genozid ist, oder dass es eine Übertreibung ist, es Völkermord zu nennen?

I realise I have reached the point in the season when, as an fan, I am pleased to see winning. I've given up on the idea of winning the league ourselves, and want to see it go to an actual football club rather than a petrostate sportwashing exercise with a dreadful human rights record and 115 violations of the financial rules.

This is a quote from Xabi's Wikipedia page..

"It was here that his passion for football began as he whiled away his childhood playing at Playa de la Concha (Shell Beach).[11] On the Basque sands, Alonso befriended a fellow resident of Calle Matia, Mikel Arteta, and the two would battle each other in exhibitions of technical ability.[12]"

Anfang 2024 ist der Absatz von Wärmepumpen eingebrochen.

Ich habe mich im Markt etwas umgehört.

Mich hat überrascht, warum manche Deutsche lieber auf Öl/Gas als auf eine Wärmepumpe setzen.

Ein kurzer THREAD 🧵

Das Bild zeigt ein Balkendiagramm mit der Überschrift "Mission accomplished? Zwei Schritte vor und einer zurück im Heizungsmarkt". Es zeigt die prozentuale Veränderung und absolute Absatzzahlen für verschiedene Heizungssysteme im Vergleich zum Vorjahr im ersten Quartal 2024. Die Systeme sind Öl, Gas, Wärmepumpe und Biomasse. Öl hat einen Anstieg von 27% erlebt, Gas zeigt einen Rückgang von 17%, Wärmepumpen sind um 52% zurückgegangen und Biomasse um 81%. Die absoluten Absatzzahlen sind unten angegeben: 27.500 für Öl, 140.000 für Gas, 46.000 für Wärmepumpen und 4.000 für Biomasse. Der Quellenhinweis lautet "BDH".

    Ich kann mir gut vorstellen das „2023 haben wir so viel Öl- und Gasanlagen verkauft, wie in den letzten Jahren nicht.“ liegt daran dass viele sehen es als "last Chance".

    Und so schieben sie die finanzielle, emotionelle und politische Kosten 10-20 Jahren in der Zukunft.

    Which elite university figured out how to handle anti-Israel protests?
    Hint: It’s in Israel
    At Ben Gurion University, protesters wore keffiyehs, brandished Palestinian flags and cheered fiery speeches.

    Then everyone ‘went back to class together’

    Daniel Chamovitz, a Pennsylvania-born plant geneticist who took over as the university’s president in 2019, made the fateful decision to engage the protesters before they protested.

    “I called the heads of the two groups together and said,
    ‘You both want to demonstrate at the same time,
    how are we going to make sure that this is a peaceful demonstration?’” said Chamovitz.

    Together with the dean of students, the groups worked out rules of engagement. They decided how far apart the two groups would remain, how many security personnel each group had to bring along to ensure their sides stayed orderly, how long they could each demonstrate, and “who would be screaming at what time, and what was allowed to be said and what was not allowed to be said.”

    Sketchy wood lathe setup - a variable speed drill, piece of threaded rod and some clamps.

    Hole in the workpiece slightly smaller and threaded rod screwed into there.

    Had to reverse direction because it's better to screw the threaded rod in than out in case of jams :)

    Don't worry, I started very slowly and had a safety chicken monitoring things to be sure.

    Progress. The setup is now reversed to the opposite side and the workpiece has been turned round and slightly conical, like a wooden bung.
    Further progress. Three grooves are cut into the workpiece and the excess has been cut off and rounded. The exit hole in which the threaded rod rests is visible on the opposite end of the drill chuck.
    An open shed door with two planks that were intended to keep chickens out. A chicken is standing on top of the upper plank looking into the shed.

    https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat

    “What I’m really calling for is something like tech Zionism,” he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (“spiritual father” of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. “And if you see another Gray on the street … you do the nod,” he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. “You’re a fellow Gray.” The Grays’ shirts would feature “Bitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos … Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular.” Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly “policeman’s banquets” to win them over. “Grays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police,” said Srinivasan. “What does that mean? That’s, as I said, banquets. That means every policeman’s son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.”

    This is the evaluation matrix that Machin posted before Arne was selected.

    • The rest of the top managers are unavailable, or are not a good Liverpool fit for some cultural reason.

    • If we leave out all the viable managers (in green) the one who emerges as the least bad is Arne Slot.
