Nathan Cofnas, forskaren som avslöjade Cambridgeprofessorn Jason Ardays plagiat, stängs av från Gents universitet och räknar med att sparkas. Rektor Petra De Sutter är tidigare minister för belgiska De Gröna. https://t.co/AfzXfiB72j
@CorporalFrisk The bigger issue is that the US Navy doesn't want a frigate - they want a destroyer.
So every time they get tasked with building a frigate they change the design so it's as destroyer-like as possible, and then it gets cancelled because of delays and cost overrunnes.
🇸🇪With only one month to go till the Swedish elections, here's a new version of the Swedish political compass
On 13 September, Swedes will elect a new parliament. And I'd say these are the 36 main political characters across the spectrum

Nearly 44% of all visible industrial fishing on Earth is tied to a massive fleet controlled by the CCP and the ecological destruction is reaching catastrophic levels.
According to tracking data from ocean conservation group Oceana and details highlighted by U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a fleet of up to 16,000 vessels is operating across 90 nations. They aren't just overfishing local waters in places like West Africa and Latin America—they are regularly turning off tracking transponders to evade international oversight.
Beyond plundering fish stocks, these state-backed operations are indiscriminately destroying marine ecosystems. Environmental investigations report massive bycatch killing endangered sharks, whales, and dolphins, while fuel tankers and support ships keep the fleet at sea indefinitely. On July 24, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators officially called on the Treasury Department to slap sanctions on these support vessels to curb what they describe as rampant ecocide and severe labor abuses.
When state-subsidized fleets plunder food supplies from developing coastal communities and devastate global oceans under the cover of darkness, how should international powers step in to enforce accountability?
Anti-nuclear people 🚫☢️: Nuclear waste is dangerous for thousands of years and we still have no safe way to dispose of it!
Canada 🇨🇦☢️: ok
“Spent fuel stays dangerous for a long time because of transuranics: elements heavier than uranium, like plutonium and americium, that form when a uranium atom captures a neutron instead of splitting. They stay radioactive for thousands of years, and they’re the main reason a burial site has to be designed to hold for geological timescales.
WATSS, short for Waste To Stable Salt, goes after those specifically. It’s a chemical process that pulls the transuranics out of used oxide fuel and concentrates them into a molten salt, leaving the bulk of the material behind. Moltex says it recovered 90 percent of that transuranic content in 24 hours in the lab tests, with more coming out over longer runs.”

@CarlLKPG USA betalar sedan några år tillbaka mer i räntor på statsskulden än vad de lägger på militären.
Den kvoten brukar vara en bra tumregel för om ett stort land/imperium är på nedgång eller ej.
The Nazi economy was socialism in a better-tailored uniform. Strip away the parades and you find exactly what Mises diagnosed in 1940 as Zwangswirtschaft: private ownership on paper, total state control in practice. You held the title to your factory. Göring's ministries told you what to produce, what to charge, whom to hire, and where your profits went. That is ownership the way a prisoner owns his cell.
Hjalmar Schacht ran the monetary con. From 1934 the Reichsbank financed rearmament through Mefo bills, off-books IOUs worth 12 billion Reichsmarks by 1938, hiding the printing press behind a shell company. Berlin froze wages in 1933 and prices in 1936, so the inflation surfaced as shortages and ration cards instead of rising numbers. You have watched the same trick play out in Caracas.
The "economic miracle" in your textbook was conscription plus capital consumption. Unemployment fell because Hitler drafted young men into the Wehrmacht and labor battalions while forcing women out of the workforce. Real wages stagnated below 1929 levels. The 1936 Four Year Plan chased autarky, burning capital on synthetic rubber and gasoline that cost multiples of the world price.
By 1939 the regime faced the choice every inflationist regime faces: liquidate the malinvestments or loot the neighbors. Hitler chose Poland. War was not incidental to this economy. It was the business model.
