    MAGA: Reverse racism is rising its head in US
    • The translator into the Catalan language of a poem by the American poet Amanda Gorman, which she read at the inauguration of President Joe Biden, was suspended from work because he had "the wrong parameters" (aka being white). According to The Guardian, no one doubted the abilities of Viktor Obiols, but the customers thought that this translation should be done by "a young woman, an activist, preferably black, lesbian is best."

      The translator into Catalan of a poem by American poet Amanda Gorman, which she read at the inauguration of President Joe Biden, said he was removed from the job because he had "the wrong parameters." According to The Guardian, this is the second time in Europe after Dutch writer Mareke Lucas Reineveld refused to translate Gorman's poem due to criticism that a black man should translate it and white must never be allowed to work on this.

      “I was told that I am not suitable for this translation. Nobody doubted my abilities, but they were looking for a person with different parameters, considering that it should be a young woman, an activist, preferably black, ”said translator into Catalan Victor Objols.

      Objols, who translated the works of Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde, three weeks ago received an offer from the Barcelona publishing house Univers to translate Gorman's poem into Catalan with a foreword by American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey. He completed his work, but suddenly his publisher received a message, the essence of which boils down to the fact that Objols is "the wrong person."

      This will have very bad consequences soon, as it is same horrible racism, but now it reversed sign.

    COVID: Bird flu coming
    • A new type of avian influenza A (H5N8) virus, identified in February in several Mordor regions, is likely to mutate soon and can be transmitted from person to person. The head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said this in an interview with TASS.

      The forecast that this will happen has a fairly high degree of probability. This is likely to happen, - said Anna Popova. But we saw it before the disaster struck.

      According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor, the detection of this virus in humans has become a "world-class discovery" and a natural result of the work of the entire sanitary and epidemiological surveillance system. She stressed that Mordor has time to develop tests and create a vaccine.

      It will not be needed - this will be a lucky break. But if need be, we'll be ready. That is, we were able to see and warn the entire world community that there is a threat, - said Popova.

      Remember - capitalism is just small dumpy road from one disaster to another, from one extreme fears to bunch of others.

    Bad design: White noise machines for babies
    • image

      One tip I picked up from the nursing staff was the importance of having a white noise machine at home. Babies often find white (or brown or pink) noise soothing as it recreates some of the ambient sounds they heard in the womb. NICU graduates in particular become accustomed to an assortment of noises from various hospital machines, which means white noise can actually help them feel at ease when they arrive home.

      It is total shit made to spend your money.

      Special reference - if you so want white or around 1000 other noises - get decent smart speaker (Amazon and alike), get larger one with better speakers inside, used is ok.

      It is loud, high quality, do not require any advanced stuff to learn. Plus you can actually listed to radio or music using it.

    Capitalism: Google wants to force every Youtube channel to pay 24-30% US tax
    • Google may begin in June withholding US income tax on the income of YouTube bloggers from other countries, the company said.

      https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10391362

      Google may begin withholding U.S. taxes on earnings you generate from viewers in the U.S. as early as June 2021. Please submit your U.S. tax info in AdSense as soon as possible. If your tax info isn’t provided by May 31, 2021, Google may be required to deduct up to 24% of your total earnings worldwide. If you’re a creator in the U.S., you may have already submitted your tax info. Check your tax info in your AdSense account to be sure.

      This sets very dangerous precedent. As will also allow to soon tax everyone who have any communication with US citizen or made any work for US company, despite they live in different country.

    Energy: Uranium shortages
    • Back in 2008, Swiss physicist Michael Dittmar conducted a study and found that in the next few years, the world's nuclear power will face a shortage of uranium. Dittmar predicted a deficit by 2013 in countries importing radioactive fuel such as Japan (63 reactors at nuclear power plants). The United States also belongs to the countries-importers of nuclear fuel (102 reactors at nuclear power plants). The United States has no uranium enrichment industry at all. In this respect, they are completely dependent on supplies from horrible Mordor.

      Every year in the world, approximately 435 reactors with a total capacity of over 370 GW, consume 65,500 tons of uranium. World production in 2009 was approximately 50,772 tons, which is approximately 78% of consumption. The market was balanced from secondary sources. Secondary sources include fuel processing plants, as well as military arsenals, which are being reduced in the course of disarmament. For example, Mordor sold to the United States recycled "stuffing" of nuclear missile warheads. The transfer of Mordor uranium to the United States took place in accordance with the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement within the framework of the HEU-LEU (highly enriched to low enriched uranium) program. Due to this program, about half of all nuclear reactors in the United States operated. At the time of the termination of the HEU-LEU program (2012-2013), approximately 50 reactors had to be shut down in the United States, which are located mainly in the eastern part of the United States. Their share in electricity generation in the eastern states reaches 40%. Of course, this could lead to a world-class catastrophe. In addition to the USA, France and Japan have more than 50 reactors. In France, the share of nuclear power generation reaches 77%. Therefore, the shutdown of 50 reactors there would simply liquidate this country. Power generation in Japan is distinguished by the fact that each nuclear reactor there is backed up by a thermal block in case of failure of the reactor. Therefore, the shutdown of a nuclear power plant in Japan only leads to additional costs for fossil fuels, but not to a national disaster. Therefore, obviously, it was Japan that was chosen for shutdown.

      Capitalism faced resources shortages in all areas now.

      SBG1, SBG2, SBG3 and SBG4 are all either burned or full of water (for servers it is not much difference).
