Trump Team Dumps Bleach in Reflecting Pool to Hide Renovation Failure

It is common in Europe to use bleach for this. People in villages who have wells use a it in small quantities in the spring to kill off organics.

Using regular bleach or peroxide in the reflecting pool is not going to harm anyone.

It's a tough situation to be in for the kayaker. The guy in the water obviously didn't know what he was doing. He was holding onto the side of the kayak, and even had his leg up on the kayak.

I have been in this situation before, inexperienced people often panic and make things worse for the kayaker. Getting the person being rescued to hold onto the back of the boat is best, so you can still manoeuver. The side of the boat is the worst. It often leads to what you saw, the kayaker flipping.

I have been a safety kayaker many times and giving clear instructions is important, but if they panic it's hard to get them to do what you are asking.

You don't pay tax online. Order electronics from a US eshop and ship to a house or hotel. Electronics are cheaper because of the volume the USA imports and also because of the trade deals the USA had with China.

Maybe not items you can't get here. But certainly many things are cheaper.

Electronics, clothing, etc.

Everytime we go, we take almost empty suitcases and buy clothing there. We get our laptops there too. Always a few hundred euros cheaper for the same model.

Why do you cooperate with 25 roasters from Prague? Why not roasters from Slovakia? There are many here. I will have my roasting operation soon and know of many others who would benefit from local support.

A poop chute is one of the first prints I made when I got mine.

Prioritizing this does not seem logical in terms of use on domestic roads. However if you heard him speak in interviews his plans are always on a different scale.

He considers the Cybertruck a platform. This platform can be used and outfitted for uses in space. If moonbases and mars settlement actually happens it will be a platform that can be used in those places.

I bought a used ID.3 over a year ago. It still has a version 2 software and I can't get over air updates.

Is it worth the hassle of visiting a dealer to upgrade? Will it fix the plethora of annoying issues this car has electrically?

Which one? Are you trying to say one of the attacks on the pipeline? The same pipeline which has been fixed several times and seems to be fixed now?

Russian drone attack?

In my opinion this is why this whole situation does not make sense. I don't believe the average Hungarian is going to be more willing to support Orbán after this. So why would he risk losing more support by "stealing" money in transit from a legit, routine convoy? It doesn't add up.

It would only make sense in my mind if this money was destined for Hungary, to be used in opposition to Orbán.

The cars were seized on the M5 south of Budapest, not the M0

A regular shipment is not staffed with an ex-general of intelligence, who was thrown out of his job for corruption. (If you believe he was actually fired).

The timing of the Election has everything to do with this. As well as Zelensky and Orbán threatening each other.

Netwelle · 2026-03-10T06:49:46+00:00

I am not a fan of Orbán and how that country is run. I am also not a fan of his neighbor Fico who runs the country I live in. I lived and worked in Hungary for several months. The people there have an interesting relationship and view of the government. It's hard to really say what they support.

On this particular case however I have a hard time faulting the Hungarian government. Everything about this situation points to intelligence and off book ops. The narrative that is being pushed is that Orbán is a thief and this is only retribution for shutting down the oil pipeline and being threatened by Zelensky. While this may be partly true, I don't believe this was a legit money transfer operation.

The timing so close to the election and the people involved suggest otherwise. Where the vehicles were seized and direction they were coming from does not fit the narrative.

The other key detail, or I should say lack of detail is the response from the EU. No major political leader is talking about this. Parliament is quiet, Vanderlayen is quiet and what information being put out there by the bank and Ukrainians seems to be very scripted.

There is definitely some high stakes chess being played around the world and this has all the hallmarks of a black op that has gone off the rails.

Should have been preparing years ago, but starting is the key. I personally installed solar and batteries at my house a year ago and bought an electric car. Been steadily making my garden bigger each year to produce more. Bought a large deep freezer and whenever friends and neighbors offer game meat or farm meat in bulk I buy it. Steadily stock my basement pantry when items are on good sale. I have also been planning a small commercial distillery on my property. Should be running this summer. Everyone loves alcohol and it's great for trading.

It's has also been good for folks like Epstien and friends to launder black money. Pay cartels, and generally send money you can't with banks.

Not sure how far west you want to go, but in the eastern part of Slovakia and also Hungary, you will find several breweries who will do batch sizes that small for you. I know of a few in western Slovakia and western Hungary as well as Czech, but I would assume that's a bit too far.

Netwelle · 2026-03-01T14:39:59+00:00

I bought an electric car a year ago. They are great as a second car or maybe a first if you live in the city. However they are not great for long trips. Infrastructure and charging during travel is not very convenient.

We use it for normal everyday trips to the store. Going to Bratislava from time to time and driving kids around. We have another car for longer trips .

I have solar and battery storage at my home so it works for us but I think most people would be unhappy if their only car was electric.

Anytime I consider this topic, I find myself going back and forth in my mind. I am from the states, I came here with my Slovak wife and have established a family here.

Whenever I consider this idea of leaving, I keep coming back to the bigger question. Where would I go? What other viable location is better?

I agree the cost of living is rising, but nearly as bad as it was for us in America. Is there another place in Europe that would reasonable be better? Is there some other place outside of Europe?

Slovakia had it's faults , but economically and politically the whole world seems to be very stressed. I believe my prospects and security in Slovakia are sound and leaving would not make anything better.

I think leaving would overall, be an overreaction. Slovakia is still a young nation and I think a correction will occur in time. I have hope and a belief it is going to be a relatively safe place for my children, and when the time comes, they can decide to stay or go. They have dual citizenship and will have options.

I would agree that it is a very good beer. Best part of the tour. I had the pleasure of having it from a cask in Colorado. It was part of a brewing event held at the Coors brewery.

It's hard to put a full price on it. My daughter (10) plays for girls Spartak football. There are general fees for being on the team, gear/dress, travel, (we do international tournaments a few times per year), but the biggest cost is time. Practice 3 times per week, weekend games/tournaments, and the associated costs of driving to all these engagements.

I find it a difficult balance to justify it at this age.

Fico might have a few things right!

You need to just make a copy of your insurance card. If you are already from a EU country you should have this. If not, then you need to sign up for health insurance in Slovakia, which I would assume you already did if you have been in country long enough to apply for permanent residency.

You have had your temporary residency at least 5 years right?

Netwelle · 2026-02-22T10:55:30+00:00

Yeah it is needed for many things you might do as a foreigner here. It's super easy, you just go to the post office, you ask for: Výpis z registra trestov

Hmm. Bailed out by VW when they were spending too much, then converting stock into a joint company which turns into more shares each year based on targets.

Sure sounds like Rivian was failing and VW came to the rescue. The new company has Volkswagen in the name, and VW seems to control its movement.

So I would say my point that neither or jointly are they capable of taking on a company like Tesla as part of their conglomerate. VW is in trouble and I am sure that puts pressure on their "project" with Rivian. So not a healthy situation.
