I heard about this from a podcast called The Missing Cryptoqueen from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84
In a way it’s a classic ponzi scheme so in that sense it’s not that novel. But this Dr. Ruja, as she was known by people who “bought” OneCoin, sold herself and OneCoin super well and took full advantage of the crypto craze. The scale and then disappearance are crazy.
Maybe this is in the article but I think the leading theory is that she’s in the UAE or Qatar or something. I assume she can’t really travel but she can just live like an actual queen over there and those governments won’t care about where he money came from.
I have this system at home and it’s great. Similar climate to Paris and never a problem.
That shows because this article (even the title) tells you France will have parliamentary elections, not presidential. Macron will remain president regardless of the outcome.
Hahaha also blue but waaaay more scary!
I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don’t have big bird, we have the superior Pino.
Oh nice thanks for sharing the video! I made up the part where the trickster mates with the female, but the first part was true!
It is real. And I think it continues with this snake pretending to be a female so many males try to mate with him, thereby warming him up and allowing him to sneak in and mate with an actual female snake join the mating frenzy
Gast pleur echt heel hard op met zulke comments. Op wie wil je dan dat Amerikanen gaan stemmen? Je krijgt maar twee opties. Dan maar de minst slechte. Als we in Nederland zouden moeten kiezen tussen D66 en PVV dan toch veel liever D66?
I used ‘reader mode’, or whatever it’s called, on Firefox and that worked well.
But your lifestyle does impact how likely it is you die from covid. Poorer Trump voters are probably more likely to have a relatively unhealthy lifestyle; maybe more likely to smoke, perhaps less likely to do exercise, perhaps older? And I’m fairly certain that Republican voters are less likely to be vaccinated against covid.
Not sure what your point was exactly, but wanted to point out people absolutely did not die at the same rate across the board and political affiliation (and therefore the likelihood of being vaccinated) could definitely be a factor.
I live in the Netherlands and I buy fresh produce four or five times a week. Freshness wise it depends on the fruit or vegetable. I wouldn’t say most things only last two days but it’s not like it’s gonna last ages, especially after it’s been opened/started.
It is probably a politically popular move in South Africa and especially considering the many problems South Africa is facing I understand your skepticism. However, it also makes historical sense SA does this.
Israel was one of the very few countries that continued its relationship with South Africa during apartheid. Israel would buy raw materials and South Africa weapons as well as technologies like nuclear. It’s the reason why South Africa actually had nuclear weapons for a while and still have nuclear energy (pretty sure still the only African country). Israel also helped them make petrol for vehicles out of coal, which sounds insane but was a way to seal with the sanctions against South Africa that prevented them from importing oil. The apartheid regime undoubtedly lasted longer because of Israel, and South Africans haven’t forgotten this.
The support for Palestine is widespread in South Africa because of this as well as the parallels between the apartheid regime and the Israeli government.
So yeah, it makes political sense for SA to take Israel to court like this, but I honestly think a big reason for it is historical and showing genuine support for Palestine.
FYI “The Hawks” is a branch of SAPS, the south African police services: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawks_(South_Africa)
Don’t know where you live but in the Netherlands you just stay home when you’re sick, that’s it.
I believe after two weeks you need a doctor’s note.
And then you’ll get paid for up to two years of illness, after which you can apply with the government for further assistance.
So not unlimited, but quite long still.
Scary times for Argentina
It would be if it were true, but they’re just working on forming a coalition to create a majority in parliament and that always takes time. As a Dutch person I really don’t agree with the idea that Wilders is having a particularly hard time forming a coalition. If anything it’s going more smoothly than I expected. I think in a month or two we’ll see prime minister Wilders sitting next to Willy (the king).
I have a combination of green/gray/blue. I’ll see if I can take a photo later.
