Y2Kyoto: Frozen Waffles

They’ll learn to love ’em.

Belgium announced on Friday that its Doel 3 nuclear reactor will disconnect from the grid and cease operations, even as the country fears blackouts this winter. It is one of four reactors at the Doel plant near the port of Antwerp, and is the first nuclear reactor to shut down in Belgium’s plan to exit nuclear power completely.

The move moves even as thousands of Belgians took to the streets on Wednesday to protest soaring electricity prices and high costs of living. In a recent Belgian media poll, 64% of Belgians are concerned that they might not be able to pay their energy bills.

It also comes as Belgium stainless steel maker Aperam was forced to stop production as the high energy prices became untenable.

Truth vs. The Left’s Manufactured Facts

In case you weren’t aware, Georgia gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, has a sad track record of not being able to accept facts or espouse truth. She still claims that she was elected Governor of Georgia in 2018. Now she’s moving onto even more preposterous claims:

After Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed that a fetal heartbeat at 6-weeks gestation was merely a “manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body,” pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood altered the medically sound information on their website to reflect Adams’ false assertion.

It was only a few months ago, reports National Review’s John McCormack, that Planned Parenthood’s stated on their website that “‘a very basic beating heart’ develops by 6 weeks of pregnancy.” Now, he found, the website has been altered. The new language reads “a part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity.”

Hmmm, what other groups strive to suppress facts in favour of Their Narrative™? Religious cults come to mind. Must just be a coincidence.

Cops Need A Safe Space

Otherwise they might actually have to, oh I don’t know, maybe arrest someone who actually deserves it for a change?

Sun- City votes to approve parking for police officers

Winnipeg police officers could soon take over one full floor of the Millenium Library parkade following a vote at city council Thursday.

Approval of the deal settles a longstanding grievance filed by the Winnipeg Police Association that alleged the city and Winnipeg Police Service are in breach of the employer’s duties to provide safe and secure parking for members.

In a submission to the city, WPA President Maurice Sabourin wrote that in the past few years, officers have been stabbed, knocked unconscious and nearly shot while walking back to their cars. Officers have also been threatened as Sabourin said criminal groups watch officers walk to their vehicles.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

The FBI Paid for Russian Disinformation While Punishing a Patriot

[FBI Special Agent Steve Friend] claims that, among other things, the Washington FBI field office is manipulating January 6 cases to juice figures substantiating the idea of a right-wing domestic violent extremist threat, amid an intensifying effort to overzealously pursue cases that are at all related to the Capitol breach; Friend was removed from active investigations into child sex abuse and trafficking in favor of January 6 cases; and that innocent Americans are being pursued on domestic terrorism grounds via FBI tip line leads and surveilled Facebook messages.

Friend’s purging follows Attorney General Merrick Garland’s issuance of a memo barring DOJ officials from communicating with members of Congress.

Institute of Public Affairs- Australia’s Covid-19 Pandemic Response Failed Us

The direct economic, fiscal and inflationary cost of pandemic measures stand at $938.4 billion as at the end of the 2021-22 financial year.

Students have suffered significant setbacks, particularly in Victoria where Year 9 students reading and numeracy skills have fallen behind by 12 weeks and 17 weeks, respectively.

The costs of joblessness and not working on life expectancy as a result for the first nationwide lockdowns in March and April 2020 were 31 times greater than the maximum possible benefits of all lockdowns.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans

Another grid buckles;

Polish power grid operator PSE asked some companies to lower power use on Friday evening, while generators will need to provide extra capacity to boost reserves for the peak demand hours.

PSE announced the ‘danger period’ during which there would be a lack of sufficient reserves in the system would run from 1700-1900 GMT.

While the announcement of the danger period marks a precedent, the grid manager regularly pays fees to power plants to keep generators on standby and to industrial users to be ready to cut their consumption.

PSE said the announcement would not affect regular energy consumers and was not immediately available for further comment, Poland’s climate ministry said it was monitoring the situation.

“I have called for the energy security team to convene. The situation is due to low winds and renewable energy today. Power reserves are being refilled. We are not threatened by a blackout,” Minister of Climate and Environment Anna Moskwa wrote on Twitter.

This seems like a good time to introduce the Board of Directors of SaskPower, the people responsible for bringing this system to our economy. You’ll be impressed by depth of their electrical generation credentials.

I Went To The “Woman Smashes Glass Ceiling Of Politics” News Media

And all I got was a lousy screed on fascism.

Almost exactly 100 years after Benito Mussolini staged his “March on Rome” mass demonstration, during which his National Fascist Party seized power, Italy appears likely to hand control of its government to Giorgia Meloni, another leader of the nationalist right.

Charismatic and driven, the 45-year-old Meloni, a parliamentarian, doesn’t hold a university degree, but as head of Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy), a far-right-wing party she formed a decade ago, the single mother has campaigned on a platform based on her belief in the virtues of God, motherhood and patriotism, while decrying immigration and LGBTQ rights. Polls show her and Brothers of Italy poised for victory in a Sept. 25 parliamentary election that will determine Italy’s next prime minister.
