The “surprise” is because he’s wanted, and is being actively hunted by the Spanish police.

An officer even got arrested for helping him escape, per the article.

“Progressive Catholic” talk about an oxymoron, emphasis on the moron…

I hope I remember this moment in [10-50 years] when this song becomes a reality.

Future me: you expected this eventuality would come in your lifetime, but you’re still weirded out at the thought. Sounds too sci-fi to ever be considered normal.

Topical satire go brrrrr

Worst part about Lemmy being a tech heavy space is that so many users spout shit like “They’re not banning it, just deplatforming it” like yes, dipshit, that’s effectively a ban for something like 99% of people. You think 100,000,000 people are gonna fucking sideload the app? Love this place but it can be a bubble sometimes.

Having visited in 2019, it was incredibly clean. They charged just a standard transient occupancy tax of I wanna say a few euros a day. But that’s multiplied by 24 million annual visitors staying for multiple nights each. I need to read this article when I get home and see what the new funds are earmarked for, because I remember being happy with everything from cleanliness to safety to transit while I was there.

Republicans never argue in good faith, and bending over backwards to give them what they want just shows them they can demand even worse terms next time.

Estonians are just built different

Probably treating as “forgetting to write down their steps” before jumping to cheating; presumably you’ve been teaching them to show their work and they forgot to do that here.

Give them the chance to show you how they solved it on the board, if they can then great! Give ‘em the points and send em on their way. If not, then give them a zero for that part of the test and move on.

My Bach degree was in history, and I often wrote off the importance of the “critical thinking” skills we learned in that program.

Boy was I wrong, I know too many people who need nothing more than an unsourced headline to fully convince them of something ludacris.

just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.

Republicans have a super majority in KY senate and house

Well generally everyone on joint bases like that reports to the base commander. There’s always a clear chain of command that transcends nations when it comes to NATO operations.

Also, I expect that most small detachments like that are just technical experts, not just straight infantry or anything lol

There’s a lot of downvotes here which are valid, but I personally wouldn’t be opposed to paying a few bucks to the devs making Lemmy for a sticker to put on my laptop.

I suppose I would just want to see Lemmy’s principles set in legally binding stone before I would want to give them cash.

Edit: lemmy quickly add that I’m obviously no expert in any of this and these are just casual musings not clear directions haha

We laugh but this is not uncommon. I remember reading manpower contributions to the war in Afghanistan back in ‘17 and there were two Estonians and four Icelanders on the list. Hilarious when put next to the 10s of thousands of Americans.

Mundane* Missile

Depends on the job field. I was combat arms, and I’d say it was around 50-60%

From my limited experience with non combat arms people, it seemed lower among them.

At my grocery store people would put everything they bought into one of those thin plastic produce bags and then just pour in hand sanitizer and shake it all over everything in the bag.

Weird time, but I’m glad they took it seriously… some customers angrily did not

The lack of self awareness in some leftists boggles my mind. C’est la vie, we had a good run.
