@AnitaRuza Viss, kas ieņem trauka formu ir šķidrums. Ļoti vienkārši. Ja seko līdzi noteikumiem un nepārsniedz 100ml, tad nekādu problēmu nav.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@simonasbartkus It’s long overdue that we need a direct flight out of the Baltics to US. Maybe it was a rumor but I think Delta was considering opening RTE before C19 hit.

Par dažiem skaitļiem. AB apgrozījums 800M, budžetā nomaksātie nodokļi 250M gadā.
Tas pazudīs momentā, un ļoti tieši būs kādam jāatņem. 3000 darbinieku atlaišana arī kaut ko maksās. Un sagāzīsies visa ekosistēmas ķēde. Tirgus neredzamā roka šo kaut kā lāpīs, bet mums tas nepatiks.

It is nearly impossible for a European to comprehend the psychological reality inside Russia. It is not just "fake news." It is a total deconstruction of reality.

Viena lieta gan ir skaidra - gan žurnālistu un mediju, gan politiķu, gan arī ikdienas cilvēku tendence publiski noniecināt un kritizēt savu valsti negatīvi ietekmē to, kā uz mums skatās no ārvalstīm. Mēs bieži vien paši veidojam priekšstatu, ka šeit viss ir slikti, pat ja realitāte ir daudz niansētāka.

Turklāt nereti tiek izpausta pārāk daudz sensitīvas vai stratēģiski svarīgas informācijas, kas citās valstīs tiktu komunicēta daudz piesardzīgāk. Tā vietā mēs paši izceļam savas vājās vietas bez konteksta vai līdzsvara.

Rezultātā paši radam iespaidu, ka Latvija ir problēmu pārņemta vai neveiksmīga valsts, lai gan tas neatbilst patiesībai. Jā, mums ir savas grūtības un izaicinājumi, taču līdzās tiem ir arī daudz pozitīva - sasniegumi, attīstība un stiprās puses, par kurām mēs pārāk reti runājam.

Varbūt lielākais izaicinājums ir nevis pašas problēmas, bet tas, kā mēs par sevi runājam.

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

Let’s be absolutely clear about what just happened. The United States of America, the country that built NATO, that spent half a century telling Europe that Russia was the enemy, that asked young men from Normandy to Kabul to die for the idea of a free world, has now chosen Russia.

Not drifted toward. Not flirted with. Chosen. Trump calls Putin a genius. Cuts military aid to Ukraine mid-war. Blocks sanctions. Parrots Kremlin talking points about NATO aggression. Invites Lukashenko, Russia’s obedient attack dog, to found a peace board while Russian missiles are still hitting Ukrainian hospitals.

The continent that actually shares a border with this threat. That actually absorbs the refugees. That actually lives under the shadow of what happens when Russia decides a neighbor isn’t really a country. Europe was told for eighty years to trust Washington. To buy American weapons. To let American generals run the alliance. To believe that when it really mattered, America would be there.

It wasn’t there!

It picked the other side and sent an invoice.

Normal Americans, the ones who actually believe in something, should understand what this looks like from here. It looks like betrayal. Clean, deliberate, and permanent. Not a misunderstanding. Not a bad week in foreign policy. A choice.

Europe is building its own army, its own supply chains, its own future.
Because one man wanted to golf with autocrats.
