Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Southern Germany hit by catastrophic flooding

Fixing these kinds of issues are massive undertakings. First you need to check the whole path and start in specific places, because if you start in the wrong place you move the issue to another point where the potential for disaster might be even bigger.

For example, the water level before a dyked area is raised allowing water to pass over a natural barrier and flood an entire valley. Or you move the issue downstream and flood larger areas. When dealing with nature, you are dealing with massive forces.

The Dutch Duke system is a product of hundreds of years of development, and in some cases costly trial and error.

Yeah good point. In the transsiberia express they have 1st class, 2 person compartments with beds and also 4 person compartments with bunkbeds as 2nd class and 3rd class is an open wagon filled with 3 story bunkbeds.

Just put less rows of seats and have them properly recline. Some people will want small rooms, but cheap sleeper seats help as well. People sleep in planes too.

Well, Stalin died of old age in his dacha at 73... Putin is 71...

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in The Seine and other European rivers contaminated by a 'forever chemical' that has gone under the radar

Dutch tv had a whole documentary on how pfas contaminated soil is mixed with other soils and then dumped in artificial ponds or lakes we created winning sand.

The production of Zyklon B was not enough of a crime against humanity huh.

But the company will undoubtedly spin off another company and divest from the chemical in question.

Oh great. And in a decade they will tell us that the company that made it already knew for 3 decades how horrible it was.

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Western businesses backtrack on their Russia exit plans

And their assets will be seized by the government.

But it important to keep repeating .. companies are not moral. They are profit driven, cost externalizing entities. If you want or need them to do something for the public good.. you legislate them.

One thing Russia understands better than the western world. It might be a dog and pony show, but they don't ask nicely. When dealing with companies, that is the only way.

Emergency exit seat probably not popular nowadays

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Poland to limit movement of Russian diplomats on its territory due to Moscow's involvement in hybrid war against the EU

This needs to be done by the EU in general.

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in NATO’s boss wants to free Ukraine to strike hard inside Russia

I'd say that this restriction should be removed. If you want to impose a restriction, restrict it to valid military targets... But this is kinda redundant. Ukranians are not in the habit of targeting schools, hospitals, post offices, more schools and hospitals, DIY centers, coffee houses and other civic centers.

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Putin’s designs on a Baltic island are leading Sweden to prepare for war, researcher says

Seems like a no-brainer to turn it into an untakable fortress and unsinkable aircraft carrier.

It's not like it is densely populated or a tourist hotspot.

Fair enough, I was just referencing how they then talked about people with A low IQ.

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Polish foreign minister calls for long-term rearmament of Europe

The question is also which companies are complaining. But it does seem like the European defense strategy needs more attention and standardize the militaries.

One type of apc platform, one type of mbt etc etc. but this is all long term.

But you also hear of the excuse making like Germany with the Taurus.. it wil take months to start and then the manufacturer states they can start production next month and include upgrades as well.

I hope this gets sorted.

Badeendje , vor einem Monat an Europe in Baltics, Poland, Finland, Norway agree on ‘drone wall’ to protect borders

Protected charging stations like a birds nest, autonomous pathfinding and a suit of sensors complemented by a good software suite for rotor drones complemented by fixed wing drones with massive optical arrays. And those legged dog drones. Border patrol can just work from home.

And a moat across the entire border.. with friggin sharks with friggin laser beams attached to their heads.

But seriously if my neighbor was Russia, I'd start building an anti tank moat, dragons teeth and the option for mines on either side of the moat. Use the potential minefield as farmland till it's needed as minefield. Pillboxes and a network of bunkers.
