Very few, as North Korea hand picks everyone who gets to leave by essentially keeping their entire family hostage, and any “traitor family” will find them sentenced to life in prison/labour camp - including any children born in those camps.
And they are places you wouldn’t wish for anyone to end up in, especially your loved ones.
All the revenue that the Crown Estate generates is given directly to the UK government to use, so they get plenty of tax from it already. ~$400 million in 2022 for example.
There isn’t one.
There probably really has never been one after the initial “three day” special military operation failed - the entire war is a massive exponential sunk-cost fallacy with the need for Russia to win simply because Putin cannot afford to give up or lose after all the losses the war has caused.
Hm. I would be interested to learn why, exactly. If it has terrible methodology, why is it constantly referenced and why hasn’t a better one been done since then?
Or is there a better one that nobody just uses?
And how should the data look, because most of every other source I can find also agrees that beef is the worst (or possibly on the second spot after lamb) as it comes to CO2 per kg.
First step: just eat less beef.
Even that alone is enough to make a quite decent impact.
The Northern Europe.
Because Belgium and the other countries mentioned are not in Northern Europe.
At best they can be said to be in the north of continental europe, and even there you got people who would argue that term includes Scandinavia and you are back to square one.
…while flying in a helicopter introduced in 1968 and last manufactured in 1998 in a country that is sanctioned and most likely can’t reliably get spare parts for it.
Hopefully they can make use or get rid of it fast, as the upkeep with these superyachts can be ridiculously expensive, and if you slack on it, you’ll quickly end up with an even bigger repair bill or just a worthless pile of scrap.
The Amadea costs the US government almost $1 million a month for example.
The public votes for one thing, and the “professional” jury selects someone entirely different -Switzerland came fifth, but won.
But not why our clothes are so “cheap”. If you have never checked AliBaba, you just can’t understand what kind of price points we are talking about. Printed T-shirts for $0.39. Hot pots for $3.70. USB hubs with HDMI out for $2.90. The list goes on and on.
A $10 T-shirt, 25x more than wholesale, could go up to $10.80 and you would hardly notice, but that would mean the worker could be paid three times as much for making it. Instead, the worker gets paid nothing, the manufacturer gets paid peanuts, and whoever is reselling them to us takes in 90% of the profit.
Often it is, but the death penalty isn’t the only thing affecting it - if it did, USA would not be at such a high of a spot for intentional homicides (#55) as most states have the death penalty as well.
For reference, Japan is at spot 196 out of 207 when you sort by victims per 100000 inhabitants.
Which also results in very few people getting the death penalty - just 3 people were executed in 2022, and none last year. US executed 18 and 24.
The system in Japan is… Let’s say “interesting”. You get sentenced to death, but you might still sit in prison for years or even decades until one morning they carry it out with no warning, so you’ll live the rest of your life not knowing if each day is your last or not.
I almost agree, as there are only very few crimes, and in absolutely certain circumstances, where I think a death sentence would be appropriate. As an example, cases like Anders Breivik.
Ukraine had one of the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles when the USSR broke with around 1900 warheads and 4000 tactical nuclear weapons. They de-weaponized themselves and got rid of them all.
And how’d exactly that go for them, hm?
It is accurate. There have been four school shootings in total in the history of Finland - Raumanmeri, Jokela, Kauhajoki and now this.
Neo-Nazi radical Islamists being lead by a “peculiar kind of Jew”, apparently.
We all know how the Russians treat the areas and civilians that they capture though, so they are hoping someone else will protect them from that fate, so they don’t have to. If it ends up that there weren’t enough people to do it, they will end up hoping they’d helped defend it too, but at that point it will be too late.
Humans had to learn that the hard way in multiple places, unfortunately.
If it was that easy more governments would have political parties that were fighting for all of that in power, most of the world does have some sort of democracy where the people get to choose. But it’s extremely rare, because people don’t vote for them as all the things that need to be done right now are really annoying. Fewer cars, more smelly public transport, expensive green energy, higher taxes, no cheap flights to holidays?!
This climate change thing prolly isn’t such a bad thing, and if it is, we can do it later, and if we don’t who cares, we are gonna be dead anyway.
Here in Finland, the Greens lost 7 seats dropping to just 13 out of 200 in last years election, for example. Who won? The right-wing populists who are reducing the tax on petrol and trying to increase taxes on electric cars, for example. Yay…
Sci-fi has made me believe something small going that fast would just punch a nice clean hole through anything it hits.
Now, I realize it most likely isn’t quite Hollywood clean, but the Resurs P is (was) basically the size of a small bus (8 by 3 metres) and 7000kg, so I’d imagine it would need to get hit by quite a big thing to cause it to actually properly explode.
