I don't see how food facilities in cities wouldn't be better than vast swaths of farmland that must transport its good. Sure, you raise an important point that there are real risks that must be addressed and of course any facility could have issues. But if the majority of the major cities in the world had food facilities then the issues of one become minimal until it's resolved given there is an overall larger net production of food.

The amount of land used by farms must decrease. While farms won't vanish entirely simply for cultural reasons they must not be solely relied on for feeding the planet in the future. Improving the food quality comes tech improvements, but farmland alone is not sufficient for our current population trajectory.

All they can do. Russia and even China are failing in their own ways.

This is unfortunately true for most, but certain forms of government will be more prone to lash out as they collapse.

Dowry is bride family payment to groom.

This is the reverse, which is called "dower", "bride dowry" or "bride price".

Also note the story doesn't say NK asked for this. This is supposedly a Russian proposal, but Russia does have a lot of food so it kind of makes sense.

To China, Taiwan is a part of their government. So they see this as insurrection/betrayal. Well, those ignoring the reality of Taiwanese sovereignty.

Oof!

Anyone else like to see this guy fight a hungry Trump for a pork chop? Either way the world wins.

Erdogan says Putin to be revealed as a Turkey by late April.

*Jong Yu Bolsonaro

Translation: Erdogan wishes Putin would come visit to make him look like a big important player right before the Turkish elections.

Nothing more than a wish though

Afghan women need to cut off the men for a couple of months.

Upvoted because it's dumb.

Except both are correct term though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bride_price

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dower

And without the quote it gets even more ambiguous

Bride price is up

vs

"Bride price" is up.

And dower has a different meaning for Western world, which is functionally an optional contract that's essentially a divorce settlement.

The title is sensationalized and misleading though:

There's no way to know the culprits were Pro-Russian.

There's no indication they were Hackers.

They didn't only target US government employees.

No mention if other (not pro-Ukraine) politicians were also targeted, or if it was only those who support the war.

It could just be that US officials were caught in a large drag-net operation.

Reads like an I'm thirteen and this is deep parody.

Exactly, its new and creative!

DRSGME to really stick the knife in their back and make sure they really feel the pain

So does this mean the u.s can stop sending aide to NK seeing as they have a new partner? Seems we could allocate those resources somewhere better.

We are really losing appreciation for information. Anti-putin Russian outlets are not a proxy or replacement for getting news reported. I have no idea how you trust such unverifiable information.

Besides, as long as we all stay united in giving Ukraine all the money and resources to keep killing Russians in fields. I don't place a lot of value in keeping a russian arms dealer who isn't going to affect the war or the US.

Russia: No cash, let's barter.

NK: Sure, we have plenty of artillery shells.

From UnHerd - “The old guard of the ruling African National Congress, who still haunt every crevice of government here, have not forgotten that Russian support was crucial in their 80-year anti-apartheid struggle, finally won in a negotiated settlement in 1994. Many of the ageing elites studied at Russian or Bloc country universities. They may have forgotten the USSR’s egalitarian mantras in their rush to become wealthy, but nostalgia still lingers. The Russians have not been slow to capitalise on it.

Jacob Zuma, the disgraced former President currently facing criminal charges over alleged corruption in a 1999 arms deal, commissioned Russia’s Rosatom energy company to build eight nuclear plants in 2014. If completed, at a cost of £50 billion, the plants would have provided 23% of South Africa’s energy — and given the Russians an effective stranglehold over the country’s economy. Karyn Maughan and Kirsten Pearson, in their 2022 book, Nuclear, suggest the deal was clinched after Zuma received medical treatment in Russia for poisoning. The former President alleged a toxin had been administered by one of his wives at the behest of the CIA. No proof of this poisoning has ever been provided, but there is plenty of evidence of a strong bond forged between presidents Zuma and Putin afterwards — the latter reportedly knowing a bit about poisons.”

this news is coming from the White House

so forgive me if i don't believe them

Can you at least elaborate what troubles you; form a specific, coherent and precise question? You know: "Why? - Because?" There is the answer to your first question.

Get the fuck out of here… my ignorance never fails to produce a learning opportunity.
