@eurofounder Dear Matthias, There are too few anonymous hotlines to inform on others in Germany. I see my neighbors recycle incorrectly almost every day and I just feel helpless. All the best, Wolfgang

My older brother came over for dinner last Sunday I noticed his watch the moment he took off his coat A Patek Philippe, easily €30,000 "Nice watch, bro" I said "Oh yeah, I flew to Switzerland to pick it up, much cheaper there" I raised my eyebrow "Did you declare it at the border?" I asked "Haha, no, that's the whole point" he laughed I clenched my fist That is almost €6,000 of unpaid VAT he stole from Germany I excused myself and walked into the bedroom I called the Finanzamt's anonymous report hotline I gave them his name, flight number, and the model of the watch When I came back he was telling my wife about the "new boat he is thinking to buy" I smiled and poured him another beer Enjoy bro, you will see the justice very soon

@eurofounder I thought you can’t just fire people in Europe? Don’t you need to give them 3 months notice?

I had to fire my best sales person today She was excellent at her job and brought millions in revenue But I discovered she did something truly horrifying She was contacting clients without double opt-in GDPR consent forms I confronted her in my office immediately "Oh it's nothing, it's standard practice in America" she said That was all I needed to hear from this disgusting woman I fired her on the spot and clawed back her last 3 months of salary as punishment Luckily I already found her replacement My wife's new boyfriend Luigi just completed his third master's degree in Business Ethics He starts in October after his mandatory 16-week summer holiday Sometimes a problem solves itself for the better

Det er helt latterlig at Høyre fortsetter å bruke nominelle størrelser i sitt politiske spinn. Fastlands-BNP øker med 25% i denne perioden. Som andel av økonomien er skatte- og avgiftstrykket redusert. Slikt er det enkelt å spenne bena under. – Støre-regjeringen har økt de offentlige utgiftene med 600 milliarder og hentet inn 144 milliarder kroner ekstra i skatt fra folk og næringsliv. Den økonomiske politikken deres har bidratt til økte renter. Likevel ser Stoltenberg på seg selv som Kristus i den økonomiske politikken, sier Helleland. dn.no/politikk/slik-…

I don't understand. Columbus was living in Genoa, so he was Italian. Genes have nothing to do with it. In fact, this is fascism.
Dr. M.F. Khan@Dr_TheHistories

A new DNA study has revived a long‑running theory that Christopher Columbus may not have been Italian at all, but actually Pedro Álvarez de Soutomaior, a Galician nobleman also known as Pedro Madruga. Researchers compared genetic material from remains believed to be linked to Columbus with DNA from documented descendants of Madruga’s family line, finding striking similarities. This theory argues that Madruga disappeared from historical records after a regional war in Galicia, the same moment Columbus suddenly emerged in Portugal with a new identity, nautical expertise, and connections that would later launch his Atlantic voyages. Supporters of the theory point to additional clues: Columbus named over 100 places in the Americas after Galician towns, and 80 handwriting experts have concluded that Columbus’s writing style is virtually identical to Madruga’s. If true, this would radically reshape the accepted biography of one of history’s most famous explorers, suggesting he may have concealed his origins for political survival. While the theory remains debated, the new DNA evidence has pushed it further into mainstream historical discussion. One of the strangest supporting clues is Columbus’s 'obsessive use of Galician‑Portuguese language patterns', even in private notes. His letters contain idioms, spelling habits, and grammatical structures that do not match Italian dialects of the era but align closely with the writing of nobles from southern Galicia. Even more intriguing: Columbus repeatedly used Galician nautical terms that were not common in Genoa or broader Italy, but were standard among sailors from the exact region where Pedro Madruga ruled. Linguists argue this is nearly impossible to fake, especially for someone supposedly born and raised in Italy, and it quietly strengthens the case that Columbus was hiding a past tied to Galicia’s political conflicts. © The Historian's Den #drthehistories

Extract from my forthcoming book, The Road to Waitrose. ----------- Crawling through the blueish light in the tent, I unzipped the flaps. Outside only a faint grey moonlight illuminated the river. The river water was swashing right up to our tent. ‘Sion, Sion, the river's burst its banks! It's going to swamp our tent!’ Sion (my wife's boyfriend) burst into action. Although ze was terminally ill, ze gathered up our sleeping bags in zer arms as the water rose to zer waist. ‘I can’t hold it high enough. It’s going to soak the sleeping bags.’ 'Do something, Sion!' I shouted, from a safe distance. 'You have to somehow overcome your terminal motor neurone disease and rescue all our stuff!' At that moment, a brown-skinned man — likely a refugee — appeared, his lively eyes shining in the moonlight. 'Don't worry, I will save you,' he said. He put Sion and all our belongings on his shoulders and carried them to safety. 'How can we ever repay you?' I asked him. 'These are all the belongings we have after an acquaintance took our house and all our stuff in a business deal and Sion has a terminal illness and would be dead if we hadn't decided to return to nature by walking from Hebdon Bridge Waitrose to Harrogate West Waitrose.' 'No payment is necessary,' said the man, who was queer. 'In my culture we rescue each other from floods all the time. Also I am a doctor. Vote Green!' --------------- Penguin have asked me if this is all true and I have assured them it totally is.

An honest question I got a few times on this post was along the lines of: “What if they hit the person & lost the engine after they couldn’t stop on the runway anymore? Could they still fly?” The answer is a reassuring YES. To be certified by the FAA (& Europe), a jet must demonstrate that it can lose an engine right at or after the speed it can no longer stop on the runway. We call this speed “V1”, or sometimes “Decision Speed”. Once past V1, the option to abort (also called reject) the takeoff – and stop on the remaining runway – is gone. You might still choose to abort, but only for drastic reasons. Like, say, a wing falls off & there is zero chance it will fly. If you do, you are going off the end of the runway on what’s called a “Runway Excursion”, which is a fun way of saying we’re going into the dirt at high speed. That’s a very bad thing for airplanes. It’s safer to take the jet into the air on the remaining engine in this scenario. The jets must have the performance to be able to do so. You can’t start a takeoff with just one engine…it will run out of runway before it has enough speed to fly. In theory, I suppose you could do that on a really, really long runway though. But you can lose an engine at an already high speed & still takeoff. We make calculations for this on every single flight, to ensure it can be done. In fact, in the summer months we sometimes have to delay or even cancel flights because the heat makes the air thinner at the surface, reducing the single engine performance to the point that we can’t guarantee the jet will clear terrain on a single engine. It could do it on both engines, but we don’t gamble & must assume the worst when planning for every takeoff. Yes, every single one. This is the situation we spend the most time briefing as we get ready to push back from the gate. In some circumstances, a special route must be flown. The normal departure route works fine on two engines, but with just one you would hit terrain. This route is built by a company the airline contracts with; it can be relatively simple, like “at 2 miles from the runway, turn left to heading 340°”, or it can be very complex & require a lot of precise navigation. We build this route into the computer so we’re ready to fly it if the worst happens. Not all airports have one…places like Kansas City don’t really need it, you’ll be fine just flying runway heading, there is no terrain. But places like DEN, LAS & PHX definitely need it. Losing an engine after V1 is obviously not fun. The thrust becomes asymmetric, trying to push the nose away from the running engine. You have to use the rudder to counteract this. The climb rate becomes painfully slow, but it will still climb (not in every weather condition…as I said, if we run the numbers & find it won’t climb enough, we’ll delay or cancel the flight). Keeping the nose pointed at just the right angle becomes pretty labor intensive…deviate just a bit & airspeed bleeds off, which is bad because we’re demanding maximum performance near stall speeds. Or the airspeed increases, which means you aren’t climbing anymore & may not clear terrain. Some very precise flying is required. Still, that needle can be threaded, and this scenario is something we practice every time we go back for simulator training (varies, but about every 9 months). As I said, it’s also something we brief & set the computers up for, on every single flight. Religiously. The autopilot can eventually be engaged to help alleviate the workload, but not until you get the jet on a good path. Once stable & away from danger, we’ll probably drone around for a bit to get checklists done. There’s a lot of them & it takes time. Then we’ll come back & land. That part isn’t actually very difficult… …unless you have to go around. Then it’s kind of the same thing all over again, but this time you are starting before the runway even begins & you have extra speed & altitude. I’m out of space. Hope that helps!

Comrades, our party, the Labour Party, has suffered a historic defeat. The people are angry. We have failed to tackle climate change, which polls consistently show to be the people's top priority. We have failed to safeguard trans rights. We have failed to bring in the young new workforce that Britain needs. The British people demand doctors and engineers, and we will redouble our efforts to attract them to the country. Yesterday, I was walking down the street as a typical ordinary British person, when a brown man — likely a refugee — stopped me. "Why haven't your party helpd queer Palestinians?" he said to me. A passing member of the public shouted, "Labour don't care about queer Palestinians!" I closed my eyes and inhaled the essence of the working class deeply through my nose. Then I shouted, "We are ALL queer Palestinians! Queer Palestinians are our top priority!" Everyone around me clapped and cheered spontaneously. We still have the support of the public. They want us to succeed. They want a fairer, cheaper, more accessible Britain. A sluttier Britain, if you will. We will not fail them. #VoteLabour

Israel’s embassy in Norway condemns the «Holocaust Center» located in Quisling’s old residence, for drawing paralells between «nakba and Holocaust». The Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies is set to host a seminar on the Palestinian Nakba of 1948 and the war in Gaza. “The Norwegian Holocaust Center’s decision to hold events that draw parallels between the Holocaust, the ‘Nakba,’ and the war in Gaza is a grotesque distortion of Holocaust memory.” This was written by Israel’s embassy in Norway on X. Highlights Palestinian narrative The Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies will host two events in the coming months that are defined as distortions of the Holocaust. One of the events compares the Holocaust with the Palestinian “Nakba” in 1948 and the war in Gaza. The center is primarily funded by the Norwegian public and was established in part using funds from the country’s Holocaust victims and survivors fund. In this lecture, Nadim Khoury will explore how these traumas “have shaped Israeli and Palestinian national narratives and how they have functioned as competing cultural traumas.” Addresses Gaza In addition, an event will be held in June where the following question will be discussed: “How can and should we remember the Holocaust in light of the war in Gaza?” “This dishonors the memory of more than 750 Norwegian Jews murdered by the Nazis and their Norwegian collaborators and betrays the very purpose for which this institution was established,” writes Israel’s embassy in Norway, adding: “A center founded to preserve the memory of the Holocaust has chosen political activism over historical responsibility. This is not education. It is a moral failure.” Strong reactions Israel’s embassy emphasizes that the planned events should be canceled immediately, and that the center must return to its core mission: to protect the memory of the Holocaust and combat antisemitism—not legitimize its modern forms. On Elpeleg, an activist based in Norway who leads a Facebook initiative against antisemitism, notes that this is not the first time such comparisons have been made. “It is troubling that the HL Center, located in Quisling’s former residence Villa Grande and built on the resources from Norway’s moral reckoning with the persecution of Jews, has forgotten the important responsibility it was given: to combat, highlight, and educate about antisemitism,” Elpeleg tells Norge IDAG. “Instead of preserving memory and helping educate new generations about the Holocaust, the center distorts, dilutes, and trivializes history—a grave betrayal of facts, common sense, and the victims of the Holocaust.” Source: Norge IDAG

Just spoke to a young 51-year old founder He's looking to raise money for his exciting new startup: It's a "blog network" - sort of like sending an e-mail (electronic mail) to friends, except each entry is available publicly for anyone to access on the web Friends and readers can even leave comments on each "blog" post Sounds revolutionary- this could be the future of media consumption Anyone else think I should invest?

Hva er det med kraftbransjen og deres manglende evne til å lage gode estimater for forbruksveksten? Statnett estimerte i rapporten "Kortsiktig markedsanalyse 2021 - 2026" at forbruket i Norge fra 2021 skulle øke med 17 TWh fram til 2025. Fasit ble null vekst! Altså 100% bom. I 2022-rapporten trodde man på at forbruket skulle bli 144 TWh, en økning på økning på 18 TWh. Så langt er estimatet kuttet med mer enn 80% - og med en fot godt inne i 2026 så kan det set ut til at bommen blir enda større. I Energikommisjonens rapport, så estimerte de ulike "analyse"-miljøene et forbruk på i snitt 173 TWh i 2030, eller en økning på 33 TWh. Siden det har vært null-vekst fram til 2025, så betyr dette at forbruket må vokse med mer enn 8 TWh årlig for å nå dette estimatet. Dette vil selvsagt ikke skje - og samtlige miljøer vil bomme stort! Gitt en slik elendig evne til å estimere fremtidig forbruk hos samtlige analysemiljøer som lager disse analysene, er dette da et riktig rammeverk til å fatte vedtak som vil resultere i unødvendig nedbygging av norsk natur med høyst ulønnsomme og subsidierte kraftprosjekter? BCG og Volt er nå ute med en rapport som holder så lav analytisk kvalitet at den egentlig ikke trenger noe mer oppmerksomhet. Så da tror jeg at jeg stopper her...
