Surely you meant $19.4 million, not billion?

Europe@feddit.org•Berlin police investigate after officer punches Irish activist at protestEnglish
9·3 months agoIt was definitely intentional, but also it looks like only one punch. The video just shows it from 2 angles.
Still enough to hopefully get the pig suspended and fined.

That’s what this article sounds like…

Europe@feddit.org•Greek police seize over 270 kilos of cocaine with a market value over 5.5 million euros. 3 arrestedEnglish
2·3 months agoYeah, this 200 kg of cocaine is probably one of the largest busts ever!

World News@lemmy.world•Purra wants to close Finland's education agency following her party's accusations of 'woke ideology'English
1·3 months agoTo be fair, this mainly seems lika Purra being Purra, or in other words, a lunatic. This is only her proposal for new budget cuts and none of the other government parties have agreed with them so far.
In fact, even the NCP have said this proposal doesn’t seem reasonable and will need a lot of negotiation to even become somewhat feasible. Let’s see this autumn where the negotiations lead us, but I don’t believe most of it will make it into the budget plan.

World News@lemmy.world•Thai PM says dispute with Cambodia could 'escalate into a state of war'English
6·4 months agoAs far as I understand, it’s still a bit unclear.
Thailand claims Cambodian troops were approaching a Thai border guard station and started firing towards the Thai soldiers, leading to the Thai soldiers firing back.
Cambodia claims the patrol was walking the regular route, and Thai soldiers suddenly opened fire towards them.
Obviously one (or both) is lying, and the situation escalated quickly.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•🚨 New York City is holding a public hearing on Mayor Adams's controversial proposal to cap e-bike speed-limits at 15 mph. People can file a written comment until 5 p.m. 📢English
27·4 months agoWhy not just add speed limits to areas where higher speeds are an issue? That’s been the approach to cars – no car is limited to 140 kmh despite speeds above that are illegal pretty much everywhere…
Regular bikes can easily go above 15 mph as well, so why should this only affect e-bikes?

World News@lemmy.world•Finland notifies UN of withdrawal from landmine ban treatyEnglish
5·4 months agoYes they do. This is a deterrent, not a last-ditch effort to protect ourselves if war breaks out.
I don’t think they literally meant journeys from one end of the country to the other, but rather travelling distances of 100-500 km. Maybe even up to 1000 km would be preferable by rail, especially with night trains.
I do agree that if you for some reason specifically want to travel from Orlando to Detroit, plane is by far the superior option. But Orlando to Miami? Or Orlando to Atlanta? High speed rail would be perfect.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•I wish more cities were built around the Dutch "autoluw" concept. There are zero downsides, except for auto manufacturers I guess.English
8·5 months agoYup, that’s even easier to implement and could be done in any city within a few years. I just can’t fathom why almost every single street in almost every single city MUST support through traffic. Even in cities with great public transport and great infra for walking/cycling, with only a fraction of the citizens driving cars, somehow cars are still allowed to drive through basically everywhere. Looking at you Helsinki…

13·5 months agoAlso, the size of the city is irrelevant. Even in the video, NJB describes how this concept could be implemented in any city. You don’t encircle the whole city with a ring road, but you create these rings with a diameter of ~2 km around train/metro stations. Even Houten consists of two such rings nowadays. Larger cities would be dozens, if not hundreds, of rings.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Helsinki opens new bridge for trams, cyclists and pedestriansEnglish
4·5 months agoAlso, there are some plans to connect this bridge to the land barely visible on the right edge of the picture. Not sure if that also plays into the curvature, or when this bridge connection will actually be built.

World News@lemmy.world•'I am against Ukraine's entry into the European Union,' Polish president-elect Nawrocki saysEnglish
3·5 months agoThe Parliament would decide to ratify Ukraine’s accession to the EU, but the official papers are signed by the president, so he could use his veto to block it.
The decision goes back to the Parliament, and if it passes with a 2/3 majority the president is forced to sign no matter what he thinks.
Again, I’m not 100% sure it works like this in Poland, but it does in several countries.

13·5 months agoAs I understand, the president can still use his veto, forcing the question back to the parliament requiring 2/3 majority to overrule the veto.

12·6 months agoRice shortage?
Right, OP edited the post to now include “over 30 years” which makes more sense. I originally thought it was per year, in which case the amount seemed off.
