  • What about Spain's first astronaut, Luis Carrero Blanco?

    On 20 December at 9:36 am, a three-man ETA commando unit disguised as electricians detonated the explosives by command wire as Blanco's Dodge Dart passed.[2] The blast sent Blanco and his car 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and over the five-story church, landing on the second-floor terrace of the opposite side.[3] Blanco survived the blast but died at 10:15 am in hospital.[2] His bodyguard and driver died shortly afterwards.[2] The "electricians" shouted to stunned passers-by that there had been a gas explosion, and then fled in the confusion. ETA claimed responsibility on 22 January 1974.

    (Absolutely wild story, ya love to see it folks. )

  • Can confirm. I'd say I like what Walz has done like 80% of the time. Still a lib, but you could do a lot worse. Plus I do kinda admire that he's just some Midwestern guy who just kinda wound up there unlike career politicians. Super surprised he came out of nowhere a few weeks ago and now is on the ticket. Its wild.

  • Time to stop using.... FIREFOX????
  • Just install Firefox, head to about:config and turn some things off and call it a day.

    Seriously this. Im tired, I don't have the physical or mental energy to keep up with all these new reskin browsers. I already left Chrome, Firefox can be "good enough" with the right settings.

  • Huh. Learned something new with today's country.

    spoiler

    Kinda surprised that Algeria is so incredibly oil dominated. I guess it makes sense, but given its one of the larger African economies, I thought it would be more diversified. Oh well. Im still going to blame the French. france-cool

  • Welp, looks like Hungary just voted Sweden into NATO.

    My leftie partner is Swedish and is very distraught, I'm trying to remind her that this changes absolutely nothing (as we see with earlier military treaties with the US), and also looking at Swedish foreign policy during the cold war (pretty clear which side they were on).

    Also it's really really fucking funny how long this shitshow has taken. Welcome to the hellzone fellow Ikea shoppers.
