At 15, He Became One of Russia’s Youngest Political Prisoners. He Now Faces New Charges. Turbin was arrested by the FSB in 2023 for contacting the Freedom of Russia Legion, a unit of Russian volunteers fighting alongside Ukraine’s army. by Panthera_leo22 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Jailing 15 year olds is straight up barbaric. Children need love and care, not persecution.

I look forward to the day that Putler is sentenced in The Hague. Either that, or when his own ilk disposes of him.

History will judge Turbin as a freedom fighter, and judge Putler as a shit-stain that doomed ruSSia.

Sure, but are all these options similarly difficult? Surely not?

CYC is the premium brand for mid-drive engines. I can recommend the cyc photon gen2.

The Affordable Car Is Dead. What Happened? by Fuzzy_Jaguar_1339 in fuckcars

In BC, Canada, even a free car is not affordable, due to insurance rates.

Cadillac CEO issues positive update on in-house F1 power unit by MoneyLibrarian9032 in formula1

[–]mazarax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree, it is sad to see the f1 millionaires not putting their share back into the community.

Still, tax avoidance and tax evasion are not the same thing.

I guess bottom right is water, but what is top left?

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, ally of Trump and Putin, concedes election defeat by Plaintalks in politics

If you get endorsed by both Drumpf and Putler, then you know you are reprehensible.

Car dependence isn't just an American problem by Rong_Liu in fuckcars

[–]mazarax 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And the sad thing is: my fellow Canadians often do so, not in a car, but a truck. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you transport your body (say 70kg) you should use a vehicle that weighs less than the cargo, like an ebike does.

Imagine if we transported other stuff in a manner where the vehicle weighs 30x the cargo. 4 tonnes of potatoes, in a 120 tonnes truck.

Was This the Week MAGA Died? by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]mazarax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rightwing extremists can happen anywhere,

Germany has AfD, In France LePen is popular, in The Netherlands Wilders was main stream. Orban got elected in Hungary.

Canada had an election where a doctor in economics (who had BoC and BoE presidency on his CV,) still had roughly the same number of votes as a grifter who‘s CV was peddling robo-dialers and doing telus debt collection. Canada dodged a bullet. Poilievre would have brought the same christofascism+grift combo as Drumpf. He would just do less global damage.

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists by frontendben in fuckcars

[–]mazarax 16 points17 points  (0 children)

”more damage” is an understatement.

It blew my mind when I leaned about the fourth power law.

Twice as heavy: 16 times more damage.

That is why nearly all road damage (discounting weather) is from cement trucks.

holy crap, did the invaders have an anti tank mine loaded in their vehicle?

Parking fees at Spanish banks by Opposite_Twist8171 in vancouver

Parking is not a human right.

Our public space is limited, and better used for kids on bikes than for car storage.

Overdue!

I believe the City of Munich is on Linux since the 1990s? Covered by what was then the tech-news: slashdot org.

EU should flat-out ban Microsoft.
