Batteries of electric cars can be switched off remotely

I didn't know that yet. This aspect can also be used arbitrarily in dystopias.

"According to a decision of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH), rental companies of batteries for electric cars are not allowed to switch them off via digital remote access after a contract termination."

The Pentagon assures that the modernisation of US nuclear weapons in Europe has long been planned and "has nothing to do with the current developments in Ukraine". Probably the same meaning "NATO promised would not expand “one inch” to the East"

As I answered below this tweet: ""Long been planned", "routine", "scheduled", all the standard plausible denials.
This is no more plausible than abm systems placed in Eastern Europe being meant to counter Iran

A Ukrainian once again shows himself to foreigners in the inimitable grateful way for which many of his compatriots are now famous in the world. This time a Turk is the victim, representing all Turks. One can only guess what is actually going on in the minds of these blue-and–yellow Ukrainian nationalists when they treat foreigners like this - but they definitely don't see us on an equal footing with them. 

Ukrainians: Go back to Turkey and send us Bairaktars [combat drones that were relatively successful in the 1st phase of the war] instead of walking around here and towing our girls. Do you understand me? Go to work.
Turk: I work here.
Ukrainians: Go to work for Ukraine.
Turk: I've been living here for 15 years.
Ukrainians: Good for you.
Turk: So, what do you want, man?
Ukrainian: I am Ukrainian and you are Turkish. That's it. Go and make sure that Russian missiles no longer fly into Ukraine.
Turk: What? Are we not doing enough?!?

Iran has presented a new system of satellite-guided glide bombs type Yasin with a video from an exercise. A 250Kg explosive bomb or a 225kg fragmentation bomb is used as a warhead. The system can be used to hit targets with an accuracy of less than 10m, it has a range of 60km.
Before the shock of NATO in the Ukraine war about the capabilities of the Iranian Shahed-136 Kamikaze drones, Brussels would have made fun of the ancient SU-22 and the Photoshop arts of the Iranians again and dismissed the system as pure fantasy. This time the reaction will be a little more meek.

The world cannot remain without US leadership

Rainer Rupp

With these words, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken conjures up the preservation of the crumbling US leadership power. But is the departure from the "rule-based order" of the US sole ruler perhaps a step into the (Chinese) abyss?

On the building of the American mission to the UN, someone started a broadcast in which a "Russian bear" is trying to push back the hands of the doomsday clock. It's a metaphorical picture - when midnight comes, the end of humanity will come. A nuclear apocalypse will destroy humans and many other species.

LNG ships play waiting game off Spains coast as higher prices eyed
https://archive.ph/OlNmt
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/lng-ships-play-waiting-game-off-spains-coast-higher-prices-eyed-2022-10-26/

Dozens of ships have been circling off the Iberian coast and in the Mediterranean sea for weeks,
unable to secure slots to unload their LNG cargoes as plants that convert the superchilled fuel back to gas are operating at maximum capacity.

But industry sources say some of the waiting ships are part of a trading strategy from their respective companies, anticipating higher prices.

"They are waiting for higher prices. If one single idling vessel discharges its cargo, the price will immediately collapse
by affecting the other cargoes on the queue and this domino effect is so painful in terms of opportunity cost,"

"Currently, prices are declining pretty fast and paradoxically, these cargoes will seize less value than in September or early October,"

Prices between November and December remain in contango, where the futures price of a commodity is higher than spot levels.

Meanwhile, some tankers that had been waiting in the Mediterranean since September recently moved, heading to Northwest Europe and UK terminals.

Qatar scraps COVID entry test requirement for World Cup fans

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/qatar-scraps-covid-entry-test-requirement-world-cup-fans-2022-10-26/

ha. i read an earlier article saying they were going to require
every foreign entrant, players & fans, to download 2 apps onto their personal phone
which would then allow Qatari officials to track and monitor.

"The health ministry also dropped a requirement that adults show their COVID-19 status on a government-run contact tracing smartphone application called Ehteraz before entering stadiums or other establishments like shops and restaurants.
Visitors and residents must still show the application before entering a healthcare facility, the statement said.

Last week, Qatar eased its mask rules and now only requires masks for people visiting healthcare facilities.

Qatar is expecting an unprecedented 1.2 million visitors during the Nov. 20-Dec. 18 tournament.

Qatar has a population of nearly 3 million

“Extremely dangerous trend”: Russia threatens Starlink over aid to Ukraine
https://techaint.com/2022/10/27/extremely-dangerous-trend-russia-threatens-starlink-over-aid-to-ukraine/
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-hits-ukraine-homes-evacuates-kherson-warns-escalation-2022-10-24/
Russia has renewed its threat against Starlink and commercial satellites,
which are also being used to support Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression.
The use of civilian infrastructure in space for military purposes represents an indirect participation in military conflicts,
explained Konstantin Vorontsov at the United Nations.
Such “quasi-civilian” infrastructure could become a “legitimate target for retaliation,” he reiterated a September threat.
Although he did not name Starlink, the SpaceX system is considered particularly valuable for Ukraine.
suppliers of high-resolution satellite images such as Maxar and Planet Labs should also fall under the definition of Russia.

Rolling Stone magazine published an article about the disappearance of ABC journalist James Gordon Meek in late April. This case had not been published until now. Meek was a senior counterterrorism adviser to the House Homeland Security Committee. He seems to have had a dual professional life as a journalist and intelligence officer. In any case, he was very well introduced in this environment at a very high level. At the time of his disappearance, he was writing a book about (...)
