China's Heihe Rural Commercial Bank has stopped accepting payments from Russia after falling under European Union sanctions, Russian pro-government media outlet Vedomosti reported on Sept. 1.

Sanctioning individual businesses, esp. banks, will have zero impact if it's in the regime's interests to bypass such sanctions.

The CCP can either carousel countless existing banks to take over the sanction-busting operation, or they can just spin up a new token address every week for channelling the money. Ultimately they can, and already probably do, just barter goods over the shared border in Siberia like in the good old days of communism.

The only thing that *might* deter the CCP from aiding russia (and all the other despots globally) is if the sanctions cover the entire party-state and threaten its ability to maintain the dictatorship.

And the only effective way of achieving *that* would be a near-DPRK (North Korea) level *embargo* imposed by *all democracies globally*.

With the USA-turned-Murica now being consumed from within by the pro-despot MAGA & Network State clique along with previously pro-democratic nations like India, Brazil and South-Africa now allied with the despot-operated and anti-liberal democratic BRICS and SCO organizations, what is left of the global democratic camp?

We should have circled the democratic wagons back in 1990 when we had all the momentum and leverage.

Now 35 years later when the barbarians are already scaling the walls a few thinktankers are pondering what baby steps we could take... 🤷‍♂️

I prossimi telescopi potrebbero avere una forma totalmente nuova. Perchè? Perché la geometria classica circolare ha raggiunto i suoi limiti quando si tratta di scovare pianeti come il nostro nella loro zona abitabile. Un design rettangolare da 1x20 metri potrebbe trovare 30 mondi simili alla Terra in soli tre anni, superando ostacoli tecnici che bloccano i telescopi tradizionali. La soluzione è più semplice di quanto sembri: stesso risultato, tecnologia diversa.

#LakeSuperior facts

There is enough water in Lake Superior alone to cover the entire land mass of North and South America in 12in (30cm) of water.

The temperature of the lake water below 200m (110 fathoms) is an almost constant 4 degrees Celsius. The water above varies seasonally but twice per year the entire water column will be a constant 4 degrees (Celsius) and allows the waters to mix. This property makes it a dimictic lake.

Waves as high as 9m (30ft) have been recorded. 6m (20ft) waves are common during storms.

At some of the deepest parts, water can get as cold as 1.1 degrees Celsius. This has some interesting side-effects.

I'll go over some in a reply with an appropriate spoiler

Ukraine shoots down Russian Orlan 'mother drone' carrying FPVs for first time, military says


Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners shot down a Russian Orlan drone carrying two first-person-view (FPV) drones under its wings for the first time, the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported on Aug. 22.

This marks the first time the Ukrainian military has destroyed a so-called "mother drone" carrying other UAVs, the brigade claimed.

"Anti-aircraft gunners from the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed an enemy Orlan drone carrying two FPV drones under its wings," the unit said in a Facebook post.

"Prior to this, the pilots of the pursuit platoon had already shot down dozens of enemy reconnaissance drones — Orlan, Zala, and Supercam — but this was the first time they had managed to destroy a mother drone."

The Orlan is a Russian-developed reconnaissance drone widely used by Russia in Ukraine. Feared by Ukrainian soldiers, it often serves to target Russian artillery attacks. It can travel 600 kilometers and climb to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over tariffs


ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The end of an exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages coming into the United States is causing multiple international postal services to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the rule.

The exemption, known as the “ de minimis” exemption, allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency.

It is set to expire on Friday. On Saturday, postal services around Europe announced that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid confusion over new import duties.

I made it to episode 14 of Season 1 before deciding that the level of violence and vengeance exceeded my tolerance levels. It was similar for me with Vincenzo. There's amazing acting and production, and a lot of interesting story elements in both shows, but I don't want to dwell on that level of anger and hate.
I LOVE #LeeJeHoon, but I doubt that I'll return to that series.
#kdrama
in reply to EllenInEdmonton

@EllenInEdmonton thanks. #Vincenzo was ok for me, definitely not the most violent #kdrama I watched. I dropped Sweet Home S2 and Death's Game because of the violence. Some sageuks are hard to watch too, when the disregard for human life is too strong.
But I could endure The Glory (barely) and D.P.

An emergency NATO–Ukraine Council meeting will be held in Brussels on September 1 at Ukraine's request, following Russia’s recent large-scale airstrikes. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said the session will focus on joint responses to Russia’s refusal to pursue peace and its escalation of terror. He thanked NATO allies for their continued support, stressing that Moscow must face stronger pressure for prolonging the war.

Common wind, il titolo inglese originale che riprende un sonetto del poeta William Wordsworth dedicato al rivoluzionario Toussaint Louverture, è anche il titolo della tesi di dottorato di Scott, considerata “la tesi di laurea in scienze umane e sociali in lingua inglese più letta, ricercata e discussa del XX secolo”. Copie pirata di quella tesi sono circolate tra gli storici come un “mixtape underground” per più di trent’anni attraversando due generazioni di accademici e contribuendo a definire l’emergente campo della Storia dell’Atlantico. La ricerca innovativa di Scott troverà il giusto riconoscimento solo molti anni dopo quando sarà pubblicata in forma di libro dall'editore anglo-americano Verso nel 2018 ricevendo infine tutta l'attenzione che meritava.

Vous avez l'impression que l’État dépense beaucoup pour l'éducation nationale et que pourtant les conditions d'enseignement se dégradent?

Voilà la réponse : le gouvernement surévalue le budget de l'éducation nationale de 10%.

L'économiste Julien Grenetle a démontré que le budget est artificiellement gonfle par la prise en compte des cotisations retraites payées par les fonctionnaires de 74% du salaire brut (contre 17% dans le privé)

La dépense par élève dans le premier degré, est en fait inférieure de 19 % aux autres pays de l'OCDE.

Au final, la France dépense bien peu pour ses élèves.

Chinese bridge collapse kills at least 12 construction workers


The collapse of an under-construction railway bridge over a major river in China has killed at least 12 workers and left four others missing, state media reports said.

Aerial photos from the official Xinhua News Agency show a large section missing from the bridge’s curved aquamarine arch. A bent section of the bridge deck hangs downward into the Yellow River below.
