At first, I read that as “paramilitary group”, which I was mildly but not completely surprised by, which I suppose says something about my opinion of the Fidesz party :P

I too am interested in seeing corroboration of their claim.

lol

Whatever you end up doing, make sure you don’t leave out the ARRRRRs

Once again:

There’s no such thing as a labor shortage. It’s just a wage shortage that they’re gaslighting us about.

In case you weren’t aware, it’s scheduled for sometime this year

Great headline pun as a result of British-style grammatical punctiliousness, ngl.

Did something change…? I thought Orban had dropped the veto threat. That was a big news story a couple days ago.

“Reasons”

As someone who has worked in aerospace, and is also familiar with the saga of Boeing:

Boeing bought McDonnell in the mid 90s, but the McDD leadership essentially was able to work the situation such that they got inserted as the leadership and management of the now-merged company. They then proceeded to focus heavily on financial matters and stock price, with extremely predictable results.

To wit: there was actually a brand new plane in the works to replace the 737, but it was killed because leadership wanted to wring every possible penny out of the 737 design, despite the fact that the platform had reached its limits in several important and meaningful metrics. One of those metrics is “modern efficient engines can’t fit under the wings anymore”, which led to the (now obviously) ill-advised nacelle redesign and subsequent CG changes that necessitated MCAS if they wanted to maintain pilot type ratings without a new training/rating program (because those are expensive)… and then they made redundant safety features around that whole thing optional add-ons. For this door snafu, it was a matter of outsourcing work and then never doing the absolutely required work of fully integrating QC process and systems between the contractor and Boeing.

There are of course many more projects and issues within those projects - the 737 is just one of the most glaring current focuses (as in: the defects are CLEARLY design and manufacturing process defects).

Boeing has a disturbingly clear record of prioritizing profit over safety repeatedly in the last few decades. Things are just coming to a head now, because the lack of safety-oriented culture has truly come home to roost.

If you’re talking about the 757 that lost a nose wheel recently: it’s still under investigation, but at this point I think it will likely be chalked up to a one-off maintenance miss

This stops working when the matters that Orban is vetoing are time-critical. Like military aid for Ukraine.

Orban is creating a situation where the EU has two bad alternatives to choose from, and he doesn’t think they’ll turn on Hungary. But they might, because at this point, most of Europe seems like they’d prefer Ukraine being in the union over Hungary. So if Orban calls the EU’s bluff, there’s a very good chance that the EU will call Orban’s bluff and kill their voting rights, with full knowledge that it would strongly push Hungary towards leaving the Union. It’s a trade off; everyone’s done the math at this point. We’ll see how it actually pans out in the coming weeks.

He’s also made overt references and remarks to “historically Hungarian” parts of Ukraine. It’s very clear he has designs on neighboring Ukranian regions.

And that’s why Orban is so friendly with Putin: he’s hoping he can turn it into a land grab for Hungary.

At this point, I’d put more money on The Troubles kicking off again.

I will be driving my 03 1.8t 5mt Jetta into the ground, thank you very much.

Ok, let’s say that’s true. Which of the alternatives do you genuinely think are better?

And what I’m saying is that expecting to be given that level of access for free is obviously nonsense. Your argument is akin to being upset that you can’t do an engine-out service on a car because nobody will let you use their hydraulic lift for free. It’s a silly and nonsensical expectation to have, in the context.

The internet costs resources to operate, and you can’t reasonably expect to be given access to infrastructure and admin resources for free all the time. Not to mention, if it is “free” to you, you’re likely paying for it in another way that doesn’t involve money.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say with that statement.

Are you trying to snarkily explain that you need to connect a service to the internet in some fashion for it to be able to use the internet and interoperate with other services? Because… duh?

Are you trying to say that you need to pay an ISP or wireless provider to access the internet? Because that’s pretty tautological too.

Are you saying that you can’t get admin privileges such that you can customize DNS configurations on a network that you don’t have admin for? Because that’s best practice/by design.

I can make some educated guesses about what you intend this to mean, but why don’t you explain it more in your own words?
