Desinteresse statt Euphorie: Deutschland kommt nicht in WM-Stimmung

Wird echt Zeit das die Leute mal aufhören den Profi-Fussball zu supporten. Für mich gab es so viele Gründe warum ich als ehemaliger Dauerkartenbesitzer diesem Sport mittlerweile vollständig den Rücken gekehrt habe. Auch die WM werde ich versuchen bestmöglich aktiv zu meiden.

ABER: Die WM hat auch seien Vorteile. Während der deutschen WM Spiele sind Wälder und Parks schön leer und man kann dort entspannt mit den Hunden spazieren gehen.

Tesla Dealers Claimed They Sold 8,653 Cars in 3 Days in Canada. Did They?

If we assume that the dealers did a 24 hour shift it means:

  • 3 Days á 24 Hours = 72 hours
  • 8653 Cars / 72 Hours = 120 cars per hour
  • 120 / 60 = 2 cars per minute...
  • So one car sold every 30 seconds.

If we assume normal 8 hours per day:

  • 3 days á 8 Hours = 24 hours
  • 8653 / 24 = 360 cars per hour
  • 360 / 60 = 6 cars per minute.
  • So one car sold every 10 seconds.

Without reading through the article: No, I'm pretty sure they didn't sell that many cars. --

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump

As if. The DFB and football officials in general have long since lost their backbone and are now only interested in money. FIFA would probably sue the DFB/UEFA (whatever) for billions in damages.

If this sport were still about decency and morality, the bald guy would have been gone long ago and they wouldn't have gone to Qatar. There was a lot of talk beforehand about "how it's not really compatible with our values". But they all went there anyway, enjoyed their lives in the sun and then didn't say another word about it. Just like hypocrites do.

As a former season ticket holder, I turned my back on the sport completely years ago. One reason for this was the people who run the sport. And every time I read something like this, I'm glad I did.

The first flight of Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum rocket lasted just 40 seconds

The headline is a bit misleading, as if this is a failure or there was an expectation that the rocket would NOT crash. On the contrary. NO space programme in the world has ever managed to ensure that the first test rocket did not crash. The flight time of 18 seconds is also significantly longer than the first SpaceX rocket, for example. The spokesperson from the company "Isar Aerospace" therefore also - rightly - described the launch as a "great success".

Ohne social media hätte ich nicht mitbekommen, dass Deutschland heute gespielt hat. Also bei mir in der Nachbarschaft können die Leute definitiv heute Nacht gut schlafen. Wirklich lautstark feiern, scheint das bei mir hier in der Ecke zumindest niemand.

US-Iran peace deal in doubt after Israeli strikes on Beirut

Now that Iran has also confirmed this agreement – and as it is a reliable source – we can probably take it at face value.

Whatever the exact details of this agreement may be, one thing seems clear: the big loser in this war is the US.

They have neither overthrown the regime, nor improved living conditions in Iran, nor achieved any other objective. On the contrary, they have made things MUCH worse for EVERYONE involved. The people of Iran now have to bear the economic consequences of the war; many have been imprisoned or even executed outright because they rejoiced too soon at the prospect of regime change following the US attack, and Iran has now learnt how wonderfully it can bring the whole world – and even the so-called world power – to its knees by blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran – a new entry in the list of utterly pointless and embarrassing US wars. In fact, I even believe the Iran war is the most botched war of aggression waged by the US in the last 100 years – or indeed ever.
