Joost Klein, the Dutch entrant for this month’s Eurovision Song Contest, denies all the charges which led to him being thrown out of the competition, his lawyer Jan-Åke Fält has told Swedish media....
So fucked up that this dude is probably getting criminally charged for being justifiably pissed off that his very clear “leave me alone after my performance” request was first agreed to, then completely ignored.
If I’m in his shoes, I probably do the exact same thing and I’m not someone quick to anger.
Also, fuck right off with “ensure a safe environment”, where was that when you told Joost you would respect his wish to be alone after his performance because of how emotional he knew he would be? You let someone who communicated just how vulnerable they were going to be in that moment get ambushed by a camera person that you had assured would not be there.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I’d put money on the EBU just champing at the bit for absolutely any news to divert attention from Israel.
Such a stupid decision over an action not only completely benign, but 100% justified, has to be intentional. They want us talking about this instead of something else.
Israel called on Saturday for Palestinians in more areas of Gaza’s southern city of Rafah to evacuate and head to what it calls an expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, in a further indication that the military is pressing ahead with its plans for a ground attack on Rafah....

Never take time for granted - expect you’ll have less of it than you want or need.
It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that’s with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?
Watched recently with my 8 year old and while it’s certainly still a justifiable classic, there’s still some things that are pretty problematic in this movie that made it a challenging watch with a kid…
Might mean a lot more fringe roster players and practice squad players leaving for more playing time and a greater opportunity at proving they can make it in the NFL.
So recently my work, a mid sized engineering firm, decided to start upgrading their IT security. The rumor is that we have potential DOD work coming our way. Over the past few months there has been multiple company decided changes to our 2 factor authentication mobile app. I willingly installed the app on my phone over a year...
Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company’s security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.
It’s honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.
Sorry for the newbie question. I’m just trying to figure out if there’s some sort of catch here. I don’t think the StellarSan stuff is diluted, so I’ve been trying to figure out how it’s so much cheaper than starsan.
EDIT: I’ve just done some quick research and it seems like stellarsan is a locally made equivalent to starsan in Australia. It’s probably so much cheaper just because it’s not an import.
Starsan is a recognizable trusted brand. I know exactly what I’m getting when I buy starsan. I have never before heard of stellarsan and cannot vouch for how well it works. I will say that the fact they’ve specifically chosen a name that could feasibly be confused with the established brand does not bode well for their own legitimacy.
That’s the reason for the price difference I would guess. Name recognition vs taking a gamble on some unknown brand
If you must buy online because you don’t have a local homebrew store, I recommend only doing so through a reputable seller that specializes in brewing supplies. Amazon is not ideal, and I’m not sure if kegland can be trusted as I’ve never heard of them. Try to make connections with other brewers in your area and see where they are ordering things from. Sadly, from what I’ve heard Australia is not the easiest place to source…well, anything from lol
Honestly, homebrewing becoming a mainstream hobby would be pretty great, I’m always interested in trying a beer someone else brewed and it would probably make sourcing ingredients a lot easier if there was enough of a demand to necessitate a local shop in my area.

No trace of any reason for the firing to be found in the article, both sides at the time of publishing have been silent about it.
Strange. Hoping it’s something shitty Marvel/Disney did, would be disappointing to hear DeMayo did something worthy of being dropped suddenly like this…
