Комментарии британцев к статье «Дайте чертовы Пэтриоты!»: Украина снова требует американские ПВО

Министр иностранных дел Украины Дмитрий Кулеба настоятельно указывал на важность систем Patriot для обороны страны, в интервью для издания Politico требуя: «Дайте нам чертовы Патриоты. Если бы у нас было достаточно ПВО, именно Патриотов, мы бы могли защитить не только жизни наших людей, но и нашу экономику от уничтожения».

Мне надо, надо, надо…

Платите или садитесь за стол переговоров. Украина, похоже, не способна на это, с тех пор как «верткий поросенок» Борис Джонсон использовал войну чтобы прикрыть собственные косяки.

jetski4465

Украине пришло время платить а не только попрошайничать. Страны уже сыты по горло Украиной, а некоторые, вроде Великобритании, предоставили миллиарды, которые народ не хотел отдавать. Это не наша война.

therealflashgordon

Как смеет этот объект для подачек требовать у Запада в такой манере. Украина приносит западу больше проблем, чем пользы…

Роджер08

Они «требуют» что-то, что даже не произвести с такой скоростью, как они это все теряют. Из-за этого другие страны отправляют им что-то свое, сами оставаясь неприкрытыми. Очевидно Украину это совершенно не заботит. Их военные рассказывают что используют эти системы чтобы сбивать российские Кинжалы — чушь собачья! Willy OAM, проукраинский военный из Австралии на днях рассказывал на YouTube, как ракеты русских наносят удар через несколько секунд после того как их засекают. Послушайте его сами.

therealflashgordon

Думаю, Россия очень внимательно следит за истощением запасов оружия на Западе…

Roger08

В ответ therealflashgordon

Ну, кто-то должен это делать, если сам Запад этого не делает. Но в отличие от нас, американские производители оружия зарабатывают состояния. Да и Европа разоряется, и бессильно смотрит как ее промышленность разваливается или перебирается куда-то еще. Многие переезжают в Азию или в Америку.

Greebo

Нет. Садитесь договариваться.

therealflashgordon

Агрессивных попрошаек почти никто не любит, такое поведение Украине не поможет…

Seth Crimp

Украинцы жертвуют своей инфраструктурой, тысячами жизней и тысячами людей, которые останутся калеками на всю жизнь. Они идут на эти жертвы ради свободы, при этом они также служат бесплатными наемниками против российской угрозы. Называть их агрессивными попрошайками — это оскорбление для такого храброго народа.

sytze

Министр иностранных дел Кулеба действительно самый разумный, скромный и вежливый человек во всей этой войне. Если он требует «Дайте нам ч**** Патриоты», значит, в них должна быть острая необходимость, и мы должны выполнить его просьбу.

therealflashgordon

В ответ sytze

Может быть ему следует предложить заплатить за них, а не требовать в такой манере…

harrylime

Трамп и его союзники все еще блокируют пакет помощи Украине на сумму 60 миллиардов долларов. Какой позор.

plasticpeople

Пакет помощи…

These are the 6 best circular companies of 2023 in the Netherlands

The Renewal Workshop

The Week of the Circular Economy started in the Netherlands on Monday 6 February. Every year, the most innovative projects and products from companies and governments are rewarded with a prize: the Circular Award. Here are the 2023 contenders.

Orange peels that are saved from the incinerator, recycled MRI scanners and a complete residential area of renewable raw materials. Glimpses of the circular economy can be caught in more and more places now that more and more companies and organisations are getting started.

On Monday 6 February, the public will choose their favourite circular company in three categories from a list drawn up by a jury. The categories are Business Large, Business Small and Public. These are the organizations that have a chance to win the prize:

Boekel Eco Village

Experimentation and innovation are inextricably linked to Ecodorp Boekel[1]. That happens a lot. People who want to live there must sign a contract in advance that they agree to this. For example, the residential area is not connected to the sewerage system. In addition, the residents collect as much rainwater as possible. That goes to the washing machines and is used to flush the toilets. For heat they join forces with inventor Cees van Nimwegen who stores heat in basalt rock.[2]

It is not the first time that Ecodorp Boekel has been nominated for a prize. This includes initiator Ad Vlems gives a tour of the site:

“Ecodorp Boekel is an inspiring example in the Dutch province of Brabant for sustainable living in connection. In the SDG[3] district we will sustainably provide for our necessities of life. As a result, we contribute to solutions for all sustainable global goals (SDGs), in collaboration with our environment. What we are going to create in Boekel is a block of 30 climate-adaptive and climate-positive rental homes, 6 informal care homes, community centre, knowledge and education centre, workshop and offices, with options for our own food supply, our own energy supply, ecological water purification and sustainable businesses. We are building the eco-village[4] together with ecological contractor Eco+Bouw[5] and our nature architect Huub van Laarhoven[6]. Ecodorp Boekel is made possible in part by the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF), the national government and the province of North Brabant in the context of OPZuid[7].”

PeelPioneers

Citrus peels form the largest organic waste stream from catering companies. Supermarkets also throw away lots of peels every day. In this way, many peels end up in the incinerator. A shame, said the founders of PeelPioneers: Sytze van Stempvoort, Bas van Wieringen and Lindy Hensen. The company processes peels into ingredients for the food industry, from aromas to candied products.

Lindy Hensen, co-founder of PeelPioneers discusses the challenges, opportunities and success stories of this circular economy example. “PeelPioneers is on a mission to salvage all citrus waste and turn it into valuable ingredients, keeping them one more round in the food chain.

We extract natural ingredients from the peel that are used in foodstuffs, cosmetics and cleaning products. With this we reuse 100% of the peel. See here for which applications our ingredients are suitable. Our innovation lab is constantly researching how more value can be extracted from peels. A result of this is the Finix citrus fibre, that offers firmness, structure and the right mouthfeel to, for example, meat substitutes and muffins.

A producer can make good use of these essential oils and fibres in his products to close the circle again. This is how we make the difference together! “[8]

Juunoo

Every year, 300 billion euros worth of walls are thrown away, Juunoo reports on the website[9]. That is a thorn in the side of the Belgian company. That is why it makes interior walls, glass walls, telephone booths and meeting boxes that can be reused. The modules are adjustable and work with a click system. "The idea is simple: unclip the module, extend it to the desired height and snap it back in," writes Juunoo. When people get tired of the walls, the company buys them back.

How does the system work? The JUUNOO modules and click panels are designed and tested for multiple use or reuse. The connection with JUUNOO tape can be used up to 30 times without any measurable loss in strength. Firmly pressing the plating onto the modules is important to guarantee a good connection. When screwing plasterboard or fibreboard to the modules, it is important to use screws with a drill point. In this way, fewer burrs are created and the profiles of the modules can continue to slide smoothly over each other. After having screwed a plate on and off the module 10 times, the friction between the sliding profiles is still too great to be able to work efficiently. The obsolete modules can - thanks to the company’s cash back guarantee - be upgraded by JUUNOO. These can then be used for new projects. The outdated click panels are recycled into new panels. [10]

Philips

Philips[11] has been notable for years because of the circular steps it is taking. The company has factories where MRI scanners, CT scanners and ultrasound equipment are refurbished so that they can be used again. In addition, it increasingly focuses on rental systems: product-as-a-service. By remaining the owner of the product, it is logical for the electronics group to use a product for as long as possible. It is also striking that Philips calculates with a high internal CO2 price. What is that and what can it bring you as an entrepreneur?

The global player's Circular Edition program provides reliable refurbished medical imaging systems at attractive prices. In this way, the medical customer can have access to modern technology and more advanced applications for your patients, without jeopardizing your profitability.

A Philips refurbished CT scanner can improve the reliability of diagnoses. Get more out of your investment with used CT scanners. A used Philips MRI scanner performs like new. Refurbished MRI scanners offered value and reliability. And used ultrasound equipment from Philips can also help to make difficult diagnoses. [12]

Zeeman

Zeeman[13] has recently received a lot of attention for its sustainability policy. For example, the company announced at the end of last year that it wants to pay a livable wage to its garment workers in India. This should yield factory employees 5 cents more per item of clothing. Since last year it has also been possible to hand in second-hand clothing. “Clothing has a value, and we want to pass that on to our customers,” said sustainability manager Arnoud van Vliet earlier.

Van Vliet: “In order to make our textile collection more sustainable, we have been purchasing sustainable cotton from Better Cotton (BC) since 2015. This is a partnership between development organisations, environmental organisations and the business community. The BC helps cotton farmers to grow their crops in a better way. For example, by using water, pesticides and chemicals more efficiently. They also receive help to improve working conditions and to continue to develop. BC cotton cannot be traced directly. That is because the companies that buy BC cotton from a BC certified farmer interweave the cotton with regular cotton. This simplifies the process and keeps costs down. In 2019, 24% of the cotton purchases came from BC farmers. In 2020, this share has grown to 36%.

When an item is made from recycled cotton or recycled polyester, it means that residual material from previous productions has been used as raw material. This residual material is then reduced to the fibre and spun into new yarn. When an article contains sustainable viscose, this means that the fibres are made from FSC wood[14]. This wood comes from sustainably managed forests where the habitat of plants and animals is protected and the rights of the local population and forest workers are guaranteed. The chemicals for the production of the yarn are also reused so that they do not end up in the environment. Undyed cotton looks slightly different in colour than white cotton, this is because undyed cotton is not dyed or bleached. As a result, less water and energy is needed during the production process. Also, no chemicals are used. We also use organic cotton for these articles. Both better for the environment.” [15]

Bleckman

Bleckmann is a logistics company that transports goods for customers in fashion, lifestyle and consumer electronics. [16] March last year, Bleckmann announced the acquisition of The Renewal Workshop. This acquisition enables the company to further roll out its circular plans. For example, it wants to help customers renew and resell products that would otherwise end up as waste in the incinerator. Jurrie-Jan Tap, Chief Business Development Officer at Bleckmann: “We have followed the developments of The Renewal Workshop over the past few years and admire the impressive work of the founders and the entire TRW team. For Bleckmann, the comprehensive Renewal System complements our ambition to provide our customers with more sustainable solutions.” And Nicole Bassett, co-founder and co-CEO of The Renewal Workshop: “The potential for innovation to make a meaningful difference in the climate crisis is real. Our most recent research shows that brands can achieve an average CO2 reduction of 51.5% by renewing an existing product rather than producing a new product. Bleckmann is the ideal partner to help any brand committed to sustainability achieve their goals.” [17]

[2] Basalt is the most common rock on Earth’s surface. Specimens are black in colour and weather to dark green or brown. Basalt is rich in iron and magnesium and is mainly composed of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase. Most specimens are compact, fine-grained, and glassy. They can also be porphyritic, with phenocrysts of olivine, augite, or plagioclase. Holes left by gas bubbles can give basalt a coarsely porous texture.

[3] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked objectives designed to serve as a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet now and into the future". The SDGs were formulated in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as part of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, which sought to create a future global development framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals, which ended that year.

Have you ever thought of writing an essay or two about your world from the perspective of one of the characters or from the perspective of someone super focused on it?

I sometimes feel temptation to write an essay about the complex relationship between two of my characters in an RP, even if it wasn't written down as a proper WIP or properly explored in said RP.

I don't know why I'm asking. I'm just curious if someone feels the same.

I've actually thought about doing this before, although in a slightly different way. Pavilic academics are different, but simple; you graduate from highschool with your first degree (literally called that, av'Difere) and then you can go on to go to college, if the job you want requires it. There's the standard degrees there, like certifications or masters or bachelors, but once you get up to a doctorate/PhD level, it changes. At that point, your knowledge/devotion to and of a subject becomes tangible; it becomes both a force for you to use, and a show of faith to the world around you and your gods. Because of this, it's called something else, and it takes more work; it's a Sytzetriae, or literally, spirits'through'many. It was commonly anglicized as a Sytzeship, though (which is my excuse for having the idea before my conlang) so they mean the same thing. Now, you might be wondering, why have I talked this much about Pavilic Academics on an ask completely unrelated? Because it is related. Sytzeships require a couple things, slightly changed on which one you're doing: C/A, C/S, C/G, T/A, T/S, T/G, etc. Most of them have the following requirements in common: - 200 hours of experience working in your field, 100 of those mentored by an expert; - Scores of 528 or higher on your last Cast Advancement, Motor Skills, And Activity Assessment (CAMSAAA / CAMS) (Some institutes are trying to phase this out, but some of this stuff is protected under Pavilic legal regulation) - An essay about your given subject that covers how you got here, where you hope to go, and what you bring as a Sytze to your field. that last one's what i've been leading up to. I have a lot of characters who would've studied for their Sytze at some point; mostly under T/S or C/S contracts for stuff like homeland security or engineering or even chemistry. And i've thought, a couple times, about writing out these essays because. fun! And there's also the PDC Archives / Archivae because those are great and technically have files on literally everything including the relationships of the people who work there. Anyway this was a rant but thank you for the ask and thank you for reading
