An easy one would be telling them a story of a world without any magic, where even the most basic spells don't work. That'll be very scary and otherworldly for those kids.

Khan's lawyer says:
Tayab Ali, head of Khan’s legal team, noted that a judicial panel had “unanimously” determined that findings by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services “did not establish misconduct or breach of duty by Mr Khan under the relevant legal framework”.

Versus the claimed reason for firing him:
“The Assembly has decided by a majority of 82 States Parties that…prosecutor Karim Kahn committed serious conduct and a serious breach of duty…and to remove [him] from office,” the Assembly president announced, calling for the dignity and privacy of all those involved.

Does not compute.

The narrative of the icc can be read here: https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/07/1168025 Except everything that matters is confidential, so we just have to take their word for it apparently.

It sucks to live in interesting times. It's an old curse come true.

I had a not the onion moment with this one. Regulators believing that asbestos would not get grinded up when mixed with an abrasive material that is regularly being churned by little kids and cats ... I thought it had to be satire, but alas no.

I more believe that this was wilful ignorance than stupidity, those regeulators are bound to have heard of sandpaper. Any excuse to not have to do anything is good enough.

The worst so far. Maga republicans have only been leading the USA for about 18 months, it's definitely going to get worse in the next few years. Thoughts and prayers is the best policy for letting things turn to shit, literally in this example.

Both. The first c when the heli is flying at a constant speed. The 2nd one when it's accelerating.

Edit: problem description said constant speed, so that means the first one.

Not the same at all unfortunately, Merck's formatting seems to be a mess, your serial number isn't. Merckx' bikes also seem to have stamped or etched branding near the serial number in that time period, so probably not Merckx. Sorry for wasting your time with that, it was wishful thinking on my part :(

Looking up that serial number and Bianchi i find back that another bike with serial number "AS435230" was a Bianchi Grizzly, manufactured in Japan in 1984. https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/70572-bianchi-serial-number-identification-55.html How that person deduced that is never explained :)

If it's an Eddy Merckx frame, than you might find the serial number here: https://cadre.org/Merckx/

https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/rennvelo-corsa-1284325456/ That one looks a lot like yours. Eddy Merckx Corsa racing bike from the 1980s or early 1990s. When it was new, it was probably one of the best that a consumer could buy. Where I live (Belgium) it's not that unique however ;)

Personally I loath the Anglo Saxon habit of making ever more words taboo. It just leads to people circumventing the taboo words with alternate phrases and once those get too popular, they risk becoming taboo as well. Another problem is that what should be normal innocent phrases have become innuendo. It's very easy for a foreigner to make a direct translation to English and what comes out is unintended sexual innuendo or something perceived as a veiled threat.

I'm not going to complain about the absurd censorship it in the youtube comments though, instead I simply don't comment.

It might be a desertion prevention setup. If a frontline soldier goes on vacation to his family in a remote region of Russia, then hiding from the state is going to be relatively easy if he wants to. But if he can only go on vacation to Crimea, then there's far less chance of escape.

I'm from Belgium, but the requirement for an EPC is part of a EU directive, so all EU countries should have something similar going. A page about the directive: https://energy.ec.europa.eu/topics/energy-efficiency/energy-performance-buildings/energy-performance-buildings-directive_en
