"Buren verdachte steekpartij: 'Een half jaar geleden ging het mis met hem'"
Hmm, guy has a mental breakdown, gets arrested and disappears for half a year, then comes back radicalised and starts stabbing people... Why does that narrative sound familiar?
"Last week federal prosecutors seized 16 mobile phones from Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, making many of us wonder, what kind of lawyer needs 16 phones, all potentially work-related?"
Why is this news? I'm pretty sure you'd find more phones if you were to raid my place... Some of them two decades old, but still.
"Bosch: We Can Do Ultra-Low-Emissions Diesels (Without Cheating)"
Good news, if they can actually deliver on their promises. But it seems kinda risky from Bosch to promote this so overly... People might figure out they actually manufactured all the engine management computers from"Diesel-gate"!

"U.S. whiskey makers say they would be hurt by any trade war"
"U.S. whiskey makers say they see great demand and rapid growth in China, but right now they also see both being hurt if China imposes a 25 percent tariff."
@adam have you noticed how all the retaliatory trade tariffs China imposes all target products from Republican leaning states? That's not coincidental!
"During January and February, several reports surfaced of a new Chinese military base in Afghanistan’s Wakhan corridor. "
@adam Let's see if Trump follows Obama's playbook, in which case we'd have a resurgence of Al Qaida in Afghanistan any day now...
@adam No, but not using it does 😉
@adam Minimal crap is certainly the case! And they're still built like a tank, with the battery lasting a week with normal usage, and probably up to a month if you keep it in a drawer.
@adam Sorry to disappoint you, but the Nokia Asha phones are *not* Symbian, but the successor of S40.
They were meant to bridge the gap between feature-phones and smartphones. All apps are Java apps, which means they have no, or very little, ability to run in the background (so no tracking, as long as you don't open the app)
Let me know if you have any questions, I wrote the Java subsystem on these phones 😃
"BBC admits to faking scenes in documentary series, fans shocked and angry"
"An episode of the television documentary "Human Planet" depicted the life of the Korowai people of Papua New Guinea and shot scenes of tribesmen moving into a treehouse. The BBC admitted that "the portrayal of the tribe moving into the treehouse as a real home is not accurate"
Has anyone already shouted "racism"? "White privilege"?
The problem with the internet here in China...
"Skripal’s cat, reportedly named Nash Van Drake, was found alive inside the property weeks after it was sealed off"
They must really have thoroughly searched the place then!

"EU dreigt 300.000 .eu-domeinen van Britten te schrappen wegens Brexit"
@DaDenMan As long as it's not public, I guess?
"It's Here! 'PUTIN' - The Extraordinary New Documentary With English Subtitles"
"In "PUTIN', Kondrashov spent over a year digging into the Putin family story. It is a highly personal film, switching back and forth between Putin talking about world events, and vignettes from his childhood, interviews with school teachers, childhood friends, stories of his parents, etc. "
Sure it's propaganda, but so are the "exposés" from the other side.
"Amazon is in talks that will probably result in its earmarking $1bn to acquire the rights and to produce three seasons of episodes based on a science fiction trilogy known by the title of the first volume, The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin"
I can't wait for it! I really enjoyed the book!

Is it me, or is the whole tone of this article passive-aggressively biased against her?
How does I not learn about the Great Emu War in school? #EducationFail
BREAKING: "Russia accused of meddling in Russian elections!"
"Just because shale production is skyrocketing does not mean that refiners want the oil. Franco Magnani, the head of trading at Eni, told the FT that the company won’t rush out and by shale oil because its refineries were not made for that type of oil."
Interesting, apparently you can't make diesel or jetfuel out of the light crude coming from shale, and the majority of refineries can't even process it.
