He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.

All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.

Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; [...]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest's reference group.[49]

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.

He was 23. Just saying, before somebody imagines an actual kid.

However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern "Roman" salute.

It's not even Roman.

I was 30 when Minecraft came out and never really understood it's appeal in the first place lol I think I'm too old to have an opinion about it

I have a relative in his mid-30s who tried Minecraft for the first time just a few weeks ago. This week he shared screenshots of his chicken farm and a massive LOTR-inspired monument he is building.

Nobody is too old for minecraft.

Pegasus spies on all the data on a phone. If a phone is really infected with that, then location access is the least of your worries. But this is not relevant to this post anyway, because 99,9% of people will never be a valid target for such high-level spyware.

Stop spreading rumours.

Just disable the location permissions. And turn off GPS when you dont actively need it.

If a terrorist organisation lays booby traps, then it is fine to force civilians or prisoners to walk into them, is that what you want to say?

I think it is important to add, that, in contrast to japanese tactics, the german pilots were not necessarily expected to die. It was "just" extremely risky and a bunch of them did actually survive.

The pilots were expected to parachute out either just before or after they had collided with their target.

It dissolved in December 1991.

A3. Not A2.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Google Play for nearly a year now, I am struggling to think about why one would not be able to use it as their daily driver. It has all the features of a regular Pixel phone, except with more security. And the security features are not even some high-level enthusiast stuff, it is (among others) some really basic features like restricting internet access for specific apps or only giving apps read permission for specific folders on your phone instead of everything. Basic security and privacy features that every device should have.

Specifically the funding will come from frozen Russian assets, which many people requested since the moment they were frozen. But now for some reason some newspapers found a way to bury it under clickbait titles.

future funding would no longer come from Germany's federal budget but from proceeds from frozen Russian assets, according to the German newspaper.

Whilst Germany deployed only 18 of its own tank model (A7V), they did capture hundreds of allied tanks and used them in their own regiments.

Walz’s financial disclosure as governor does not list the value of any cash kept in bank accounts.

Regular bank accounts are explicitly not part of the report. Therefore he most likely just did not spend it on anything.

I talked about the other posts to provide context. These are not unknown people and she is not the only one who gets compared to the turkish shooter.

The poster likely chose the korean shooter as counterpart, because she already garnered attention beforehand for her aesthetic. She is already relatively famous, so I don't think it is surprising if somebody chose (and named) her over other, less known athletes. The poster also described her as "record-breaking" in the description, so I do not think it was the intention to make her look bad.

The korean shooter Yeji Kim became a (positive) meme first for her cyberpunk aesthetics, which many people found cool. Shortly after the turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç also became a meme for his own, very different aesthetic.

Also there is a bunch of other memes in circulation that compare the turkish shooter with various other people, e.g. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/873/956/0f7.png

Just because you are comparing a woman and a man does not make it misogyny. This is basically just a crossover of two recent memes.
