Oh please.

If the USA hadn’t destroyed Iran’s democracy, the houthis wouldn’t have Iranian funding and would be a non-issue, and that’s just touching the tip of the mess the USA caused in the Middle East. There’s a reason the Houthi slogan says “Death to America” and not “Death to Europe”.

How about taking responsibility for cleaning up your own mess? Also, feel free to contribute to the costs of all the refugees the USA created for Europe.

Stealing this comment from u/Turicus on reddit (r/Switzerland):

I think they knew what they bought. This article is exaggerating.

The hangars at Belp are being upgraded to accommodate the new jet. Until then it flies from Payerne, ZRH or GVA. The first two are reachable in an hour from Bern.

The article is saying that the runway is too short. But that’s true only at full load. At MTOW (maximum take-off weight, meaning with 100% fuel and passengers), the plane is rated for a runway of 1760m at sea level. The runway at Belp is 1730m.

So they can’t fully use the max range of 14-15’000km. The old jet had a range ~8’000km. Even if they take off with a 90% fuel load because of the runway, the new jet will go much farther than the old one. For most destinations, it will avoid a stopover, saving time and money.

By the way, the Bundesrat often flies commercial for cost reasons. Anyway, there’s one jet, so they can’t all use it at once.

Femicide is a specific type of homicide, under which women are killed because they are women i.e. the “fem” part relates to the motive, and only indirectly the victim’s characteristics. Honour killings are a good example of this.

So this is good for feminism because it explicitly recognises and protects against crime that is driven by misogyny.

Does it have to be a watch? I love my Oura ring.

Create a shortcut to make your screen grayscale. When the alarm goes off, hit 15 min snooze and grayscale. When the alarm goes the 2nd time, turning off will be possible.
