Kutil then compared Filip Turek to Don Quixote, who fought against windmills, and Petr Macinka to his nodding sidekick Sancho. He wrote that Turek set off against the wind turbines in a thirsty eight-cylinder Mercedes G-Class, while behind him stood a coal mine. The author ironically added that the result of such a battle could be a landscape marked by quarries, tailings ponds, and chimneys, and questioned the idea that an opponent of wind farms must be a hero. #DonQuijote #českákrajina #větrnéelektrárny (translated)

Laura Korpinen wrote that in her opinion Volodymyr Zelensky's term had ended when Donald Trump stated his position, and that Ukraine would make peace. She urged Finnish decision-makers to limit the damage they had already caused and to humble themselves so that Finns would not suffer any more due to the elite's inability to stay away from great power disputes. #Ukraina #rauha #politiikka (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Dee | ApexHeritage criticized part of Tesla owners for defending the brand as a religious belief and explaining to those who complained about the car's handling that the problem was with them. He also questioned the enthusiasm for features that, according to him, other car manufacturers had offered earlier. He cited Mercedes' Distronic system as an example, which he claimed had been available as far back as 1998, and mentioned automatic high beams, lane-keeping assistance, and parking assistants. He admitted that Tesla had its merits, but he was bothered by the fact that some customers defended its shortcomings to others after buying the car. #Tesla #ElonMusk #automobilismus (translated)

Jana Dubová recalled that Václav Havel would have turned 90 today. She remembered seeing him for the first time a few days after November 1989 when she was a student. Until then, she had only known him from texts, stories, and broadcasts from Voice of America; at home, his name was spoken cautiously according to her. At that time, Havel arrived in a Mercedes, wore a khaki jacket, and was smoking. Dubová described him as a little awkward and unusual, but above all human: he laughed, chatted with people, and joked. She herself was too shy to ask him anything back then, and today she would give a lot for that moment. At that time, she had no idea that Havel would soon become president. However, she remembered him most from that encounter, not from Prague Castle or television, and she still considered him a great man. (translated)

Britain has passed a law that prohibits the sale of tobacco products to individuals born after December 31, 2008, in an effort to raise a generation free from smoking, which has sparked strong debates about the legal and ethical aspects of this generational ban. #tabák #zdraví #legislativa (translated)

A power surge hit the railing near the road at the Southern Bridge in Kyiv just as a subway train was passing over it. Passengers heard a loud explosion and saw a flash.

Sedíme s kolegou na cigu, když nás vyruší nízko letící neviditelný, černý letoun bez výsostných znaků. Kolega vyfoukne kouř, zadívá se k obloze a povídá: „Ty vole, cítíš ten grafen ve vzduchu? Už to zase sypou. Manželky kamarádka má ségru, co uklízí letadla. Viděla jak to plní" #konspirace #letectví #grafen

#Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Russie 🇷🇺 La tour de refroidissement de la centrale nucléaire de Koursk, située dans la ville de Kourtchatov en Russie, a été touchée par un drone le jeudi 17 septembre 2026 Une folie. Et ce n’est pas la première fois. De plus deux réacteurs de Kourtchatov sont des RBMK, de même type et de même époque que ceux de Tchernobyl, soit à un seul coffrage… Une folie… @RLS photo prise en 2025, au moment de l’offensive ukrainienne à Koursk @Omerta_officiel #Ukraine #Russie #Nucléaire

⛽️Hulící diesely, emise a proč záleží na čase⛽️ Hulící diesely jsou na českých silnicích klasika, ale na tomto mi přijde nejvíc zajímavé, že před rokem byl na emisích a při emisní zkoušce dle dat ministerstva dopravy to auto akcelerovalo na neutrál z volnoběhu do omezovače 3,7 sekundy 🫠 Představte si, že sešlápnete v autě pedál plynu až na podlahu a ručička u stojícího auta poleze na konec otáčkoměru skoro 4 sekundy. Normálně je to třeba sekunda, sekunda a půl. Aby to trvalo tak dlouho při plném sešlápnutí plynového pedálu, muselo by být s autem něco hodně v nepořádku (což by zásadně komplikovalo možnost ho používat). Pravděpodobnější je, že emisní technik ten plyn jenom tak polechtal, aby proces přeběhu záměrně zpomalil. Důvod? Celá zkouška, kdy se měří kouřivost, spočívá v tom, že plným sešlápnutím plynu musí motor přeprat svou vlastní setrvačnost a krátkodobě se tím vytvoří pro motor větší zátěž, aniž by se s ním muselo jet. Proto je potřeba prudce a plně sešlápnout plynový pedál. Pokud ho sešlápnu jen tak jako, nevytvořím pro motor prakticky žádnou zátěž, a tudíž i hodně kouřivý motor (jako ten auta na fotce) vykáže kouřivost blízkou nule. Je to jeden z mnoha podvodů na emisích - takový ten nejjednodušší na provedení. Jinak zrovna u tohoto auta bych se vůbec nebránil tomu policií zabavovat a rovnou slisovat do kostičky na náklady majitele. To není náhoda, že mu to hulí, ani čestvá závada, které si ještě nevšiml. Na tyhle lidi pohlížím asi stejně jako na lidi, co se klidně vyserou na ulici. Ostatně tyhle dvě skupiny se nejspíš dost prolínají 🤷 #diesely #emise #ceskasilnice
