Pilots mistakenly cut power causing Nepal plane crash that killed 72: Report
Since the article has too many fucking ads:
Pilots mistakenly cut power causing Nepal plane crash that killed 72: Report
that killed 72 people almost a year ago was caused by the pilots mistakenly cutting leading to an aerodynamic stall, a report issued by a government-appointed investigation panel on Thursday said.
The ATR 72 crashed just before landing in the tourist city of on Jan. 15. Dipak Prasad Bastola, an aeronautical engineer and a member of the investigating panel, said due to lack of awareness and lack of standard operating procedures, the pilots had put the condition levers, which control power, in the feathering position, instead of selecting the flap lever.
This led the engine to "run idle and not produce thrust. But due to its momentum, the aircraft flew for up to 49 seconds before hitting the ground".

What was the original use of the ‘☠️’ emoji?
The one you're probably thinking of is just the skull 💀 not the skull and bones ☠️. The skull on it's own means "dead" metaphorically, often from "dying of laughter" or dying of cringe depending on the contexts

Israel tells UN to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip within 24 hours
Reply in thread
You can't evacuate 1 million people in 24 hours, much less when they don't have anywhere to go. Gaza is fully blockaded and they can't leave.

Because almost all workers in Sweden are part of unions, those unions often work with the other unions and sympathy strike. Which means that they will not work with the company the unions are striking against.
This is so that the companies cannot bypass the strikes, which is often the case in other countries without as strong unions as Sweden does.

Israel and Australia participate.
Israel has been since 1973 because their national broadcaster is part of the European Broadcasting Union.
Australia has had a huge cult following and was initially only allowed to join for a one-off year in 2015, but because of the success they've been allowed to take part every year since.

The majority of the population in Gaza was not born when Hamas "won the election" (which, by the way, was supported by Israel). Then now they have no choice but to "show support" in polls because Hamas is authoritarian. That's like saying the majority of North Koreans are supportive of Kim Jong Un's government because the polls say he has a 100% approval rating.
