Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't "detonate" flares, they don't explode, they just burn with a bright flame. Yes, certainly, dropping, popping, ejecting them near other aircraft, especially with an intention to harass is unprofessional and dangerous, but the headline is still sensationalist.
To be clear, I'm not tone policing, the verbiage just gives the wrong impression on how flares work.
Is this the same AfD that got involved in several Russian spy scandals? It's an interesting coincidence their agenda and Russian interests always seem to line up.
Is this as big as it sounds? It sounds big.
The controversial mandate
I wonder what the controversy is...
Nursing home operators strongly objected to the minimum staffing proposal in September, saying they already struggle to fill open positions. Such a requirement could force some facilities to close.
Oh, of course, they don't want to pay people. These business owners should go back to econ 101, the labour market is just another market. If you can't get enough people at current prices, you need to PAY MORE.
Mark Parkinson, CEO of the American Health Care Association, said in a statement Monday. “Issuing a final rule that demands hundreds of thousands of additional caregivers when there’s a nationwide shortfall of nurses just creates an impossible task for providers. This unfunded mandate doesn’t magically solve the nursing crisis.”
Oh, it's funded. Two steps. Grab your wallet, Mark. Look in your wallet. There is your funding.
The proposed staffing mandate has also split Congress, whose approval is not required. A bipartisan Senate bill and similar legislation introduced by House Republicans would prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from finalizing the rule.
The only time you can reliably expect the US Congress to actually do anything for their fat paychecks is when it has to prevent other people in government to do their jobs.
Yeah, Iran sucks and everything, but didn't Israel start this by bombing their embassy in Syria? If Israel had been held to account for that, maybe we wouldn't be looking at yet another flashpoint involving a nuclear armed state.
I don't know what anyone expected Iran to do here.
It's bold to assume those exist. Maybe there's a reason the coworker left

I think all these changes that the EU is doing really only benefit large development firms like Spotify and Epic at the expense of the smaller developers. EU is adding additional regulations and requirements from Apple which smaller developers and indie developers will now have to comply with which will act as barriers to entry for some. That’s bad for competition…which I think was ultimately the goal for Epic and Spotify.
I love this braindead take regurgitated again and again and again. The DMA specifically does not apply to anyone smaller than a big monopolistic company. Apple barely made the cut themselves. The whole regulation is about forcing six companies - the Act only applies to them at all - to open up their walled gardens because they are strangling their respective markets and killing innovation, consumer choice and competition.
This is the result of corporate America not holding its executives personally accountable for gross negligence, and the unregulated monopolistic nature of a bunch of markets. It is well known in the industry that the whole fiasco regarding the 737 Max is caused by the acquisition of McDonnell-Douglas, and its shitty management that integrated with Boeing.
Who was held responsible for those 300 people dying? Who would have been for these guys? Who will be for the next accident?

This is so predatory in itself.
I love that "innovation" with big US companies always means acquiring another company. Not like EA is a big innovator either.
This is some "quality" reporting. Nowhere does the EU says to remove "graphic violent images", it's only asking for transparency in what gets removed and the removal of disinformation and calls to violence.
Good. The thing is that network "fast lanes" work by slowing down all other lanes.
