Les machines à gazéifier l'eau sont très utiles pour éviter d'acheter des bouteilles en #plastique, mais l'entreprise #SodaStream, qui semble contrôler la plus grande part du marché des recharges de CO2, en plus d'être israëlienne, appartient au pollueur #PepsiCo. Après quelques recherches, j'ai trouvé une entreprise française plus décente qui remplit les bouteilles vides par correspondance. Un parrainage de 5 € est proposé grâce au lien ci-dessous.

Si je comprends bien, il faut acheter une box affranchie et l'utiliser pour renvoyer les cylindres de C02 que vous souhaitez remplir. La réduction sera donc appliquée lors de la facturation du remplissage. Je précise qu'ils ne remplissent que les cylindres à vis par contre. Si jamais vous commandez et ne bénéficiez pas de la réduction, dites-le moi et j'irai me plaindre ! :blobowoevil:

"We have to say the truth, returning the hostages is not the most important thing."

Israeli Finance Minster Bezalel Smotrich said in an interview with Galey Israel radio on Monday that the release of captives in Gaza was "not the most important thing" for the goverment, provoking an angry backlash from members of the Israeli public, including families of captives in Gaza, who have hit back at the minister's comments.

Smotrich also said that the "Gaza problem" must be eliminated, citing a "tremendous opportunity". Smotrich believes that there are no longer any obstacles to fulfilling a hardline Israeli policy on Gaza after the end of former US President Joe Biden's tenure at the White House and the political demise of rivals, like former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and former Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi.

Important distinction: The MAGA faction outraged about the Epstein files is turning on Trump because they think he's covering up a massive QAnon-ish conspiracy. That doesn't mean they will reject him if he releases the files and they confirm what seems likely: that he had sex with underage teens. His cult obviously has no problem with everything else that makes him egregiously unfit, including his boasting about being able to commit sexual assault (and being accused of that by multiple women).

Terrifying that a malfunctioning automated system can in fact shut off fuel switches, as happened on an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 flight in 2019:

"Investigators later found that the aircraft’s software had mistakenly interpreted the plane as being on the ground, triggering the thrust control malfunction accommodation system, which automatically moved the fuel switch from “run” to “cutoff” without any action from the pilots."

The UK is now the second largest government holder of Bitcoin, but the crown will slip.

The UK currently holds 61,250 BTC, worth approximately $7.27 billion at today’s price, according to Arkham Intelligence. These coins were seized by UK authorities in connection with an investment fraud targeting Chinese nationals.

The assets remain frozen, and legal efforts are ongoing to determine their rightful ownership and whether they will be returned to victims or confiscated under UK law. Until that process concludes, the UK cannot legally forfeit or sell the coins.

Once the ruling is made, the coins are likely to be returned or liquidated.

In the meantime, those coins are being custodied by Komainu. With the national crypto custody tender now live, that arrangement could change by the end of the year.

The risks of state custody are real. Just last week, a UK National Crime Agency officer was jailed for stealing seized bitcoin from a dark web suspect. Bitcoin shines a light on criminals outside the system and those hiding within it.

The UK may be the second largest government holder of Bitcoin… for now. But with legal rulings pending and custody contracts in flux, the question is how much longer.

It is important to remember that Elon Musk was a Hillary Clinton supporter. If Musk had gotten his way, we would just be finishing 8 years of Hillary as President.

I am not sure America would have survived that.

Epstein was a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and Maxwell was literally Bill Clinton's date to Chelsea's wedding. They would both still be preying on children, if Elon Musk had gotten his way and Hillary had beaten Trump.

Trump is the hero of the Epstein case.

Georges Ibrahim Abdallah patriote libanais enfin libéré n'était pas un terroriste


Regis de Castelnau

Au bout de 25 ans, la justice française s’est enfin préoccupée de sauver l’honneur. Elle vient de prononcer la mise en liberté de Georges Ibrahim Abdallah condamné par une cour d’assises spéciale il y a 40 ans pour complicité d’assassinat. Abdallah militant communiste libanais avait été accusé de complicité dans l’assassinat sur le territoire français de deux diplomates américains et israéliens dont il a été par la suite reconnu qu’ils appartenaient aux services spéciaux de leurs pays respectifs. Assassinats perpétrés alors qu’Israël était en guerre contre le Liban qu’il avait envahi, en provoquant la mort de 18 000 combattants et civils arabes, et couvrant le massacre de Sabra et Chatila.

Arrêté sur le territoire français, et malgré ses dénégations, il sera donc condamné en 1984 à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité par une cour d’assises spéciale chargée de juger les affaires de terrorisme. Et ce après une procédure pour le moins biscornue. Il y eut s’abord la violation de la règle « non bis in idem » avec Abdallah jugé deux fois pour les mêmes faits, ensuite l’aveu postérieur de son avocat reconnaissant qu’il l’avait trahi et travaillé avec les services français, ensuite toujours la défense absurde et provocatrice de celui qui avait succédé à ce premier avocat, et enfin des réquisitions lunaires de l’avocat général. Malgré ces énormités, il ne fut pas possible d’obtenir une révision de la procédure. Georges Ibrahim Abdallah n’était pas un terroriste, c’était un patriote Libanais luttant pour défendre son pays contre une invasion israélienne soutenue par les États-Unis. Une propagande mensongère va bien sûr le présenter comme un terroriste palestinien pro palestinien, qualificatif immédiatement utilisé pour ceux qui combattent Israël.

Il est libérable depuis 1999. Sa libération a été prononcée à plusieurs reprises par le tribunal d’application des peines. Libération systématiquement annulée par les juridictions supérieures sur appel tout aussi systématique. Le sommet étant atteint quand sa libération fut prononcé avec la condition de la prise par le ministre de l’intérieur d’un arrêté d’expulsion. Manuel Valls, jamais en retard d’une vilenie, refusa toujours de prendre cet arrêté. Maintenant ainsi Abdallah en prison dans une prison où il était enfermé depuis près de 40 ans, étant alors le plus ancien détenu des pays de l’UE. Alors que le maintien en détention ne pourrait s’appuyer sur aucune considération judiciaire, le parquet toujours soucieux de complaire, a naturellement fait immédiatement appel.

La guerre secrète, ça existe. Et lorsqu’on est en guerre on la pratique. Israël qui est en guerre depuis sa création le fait, mais habituellement discrètement. Car quand ses services interviennent sur le territoire d’État étranger, en droit cela s’appelle du terrorisme. On renvoie pour cela au film de Spielberg « Munich ». Et à l’exécution de Mahmoud Hamchari sur le territoire français. Tout le monde sait qui a perpétré cet attentat, sauf manifestement les autorités françaises qui n’ont jamais bougé.

Le problème c’est que le soutien américain et la passivité du reste de l’Occident amène les dirigeants israéliens actuellement au pouvoir à se croire tout permis et, sûrs de leur impunité, ils revendiquent à l’avance les assassinats que le Mossad ou le Shin Bet commettraient à l’étranger.

Le chef du Shin Bet Ronen Bar, a déclaré « qu’Israël travaillera à l’assassinat des dirigeants du Hamas. Le Conseil ministériel, le cabinet israélien nous a fixé un objectif, qui est en termes simples, l’élimination du Hamas, et nous sommes déterminés à le faire. Partout, à Gaza, dans la Cisjordanie, au Liban, en Turquie, au Qatar ». Comme d’habitude Netanyahou ne s’est pas gêné lorsqu’il a annoncé son intention le 22 novembre 2023 en déclarant : « J’ai donné l’ordre au Mossad d’agir contre les dirigeants du Hamas où qu’ils se trouvent ».

Comprenons-nous bien, vouloir frapper son ennemi à la tête a une autre légitimité morale que le massacre des civils de Gaza. Et à la guerre, ça marche comme ça. Mais en la circonstance ce qui est effarant c’est le sentiment d’impunité qui anime le pouvoir israélien revendiquant par avance le droit d’aller pratiquer le terrorisme sur le territoire d’autres États ! Concernant la France, si jamais cela arrivait chez nous, on peut malheureusement imaginer ce que serait la réponse de Macron et des dirigeants français.

@HaleakalacraterAnd I feel lucky as hell. I live on the 5th floor and got nothing. On the 10th floor, units above me got a little damage, the 4th floor below didn't get anything but the 3rd floor, all hell broke loose and they were monumentally flooded. I went to give the co-op ladies a hand, brought my cotton floor mop with me and helped mopped up the water that was still trickling under the walls on their floors. It was ugly.

terrible! These collars - are they like couplings at pipe joints? Seems like if the pipes are ok they need to locate all the collars and fix them.

@HaleakalacraterYeah! I didn't know the English terms, I searched for the English equivalency and it said collars (in French, the word is collets = collars, I had specified for plumbing but...). I think what they are planning to do is fix them as soon as they break but hell that means we'll all be under stress for years to come... There are 109 units + 19 for the co-op. I'm not sure they want to tear down all the walls to change them all...

Plus the damn smoke detectors and general fire alarm go crazy because of the dust when they take down a wall (the gypsum boards and plaster). This is a concrete building (slabs for the floors and ceilings (well, d'uh - another man's ceiling is another man's floor LOL) but part of the walls are soundproofed and built of gypsum board...

@HaleakalacraterYour suggestion does make a lot of sense. When I studied in technology of architecture, we had learned about contraction in winter and expansion of materials in summer. We had calculated the difference in a 20-floor building and it varied something like 4 or 5 inches or something. Not only were the materials under great stress, but the fasteners of materials had to give and take also. One of the building here had a bad design or I dunno if it was the way the plans were done, but corner of Sherbrooke street and Peel in downtown, a piece of concrete curtain wall detached itself and went crashing through a closed terrace restaurant on the first floor, it killed two customers. That happened maybe 20-25 years ago? Can't recall now.

@HaleakalacraterAnd since it's a government project, not sure how the building was supervised, if there wasn't corruption also. Because let's face it the construction industry is one of the most corrupted, we call it one of the mafia strongholds, like construction of roads and all that. I had watched way back when a documentary on road construction in Sweden which has (or had) pretty much the same temps and weather we do. The opening questions were: how much does road construction in Sweden cost? And why do their roads last 10 times ours? What is the difference between what we do and what they do?

Road construction companies here cut in half all the materials. Like, say in Sweden they lay down 8 inches of crushed stone as an underlayer, over here, they put 3 or 4 inches. And they charge the government twice or three times what companies in Sweden do. Roads are all owned by government, either federal, provincial or municipal.

@HaleakalacraterThe worst? When they repair roads, they usually just scrape off the top asphalt layer and lay asphalt over the road or street. I roll my eyes so damn hard each time, it gives me a headache because the problem is structural, but they make cosmetic repairs, it looks good for about 2 years, max, and then they have to redo the whole thing again or let the street or road deteriorate more.

@HaleakalacraterNot sure if ours are that modern, but they are kinda similar. But the thing that bugs me is the road that cracks deeply and chunks come off, it's a sign the structure of the road, in lower layers of materials is working, shifting under the strain of traffic, the problem is structural. No matter how nice the top layer looks after, the shifting and crumbling will still go on. There is also the fact that on the roads, there are much more trucks and 18-wheelers than there was before, like 50 years ago.
