inb4 those fired show hosts start their YouTube channels and air their shows there. A Lithuanian journalist has been doing it for 10 years now and so can they.

I've seen one transported by ground vehicles. It was a humbling experience.

“The cost of our largest drilling input cost, casing, has increased over 10 percent in the last quarter due to steel tariffs,” Stice, the Diamondback Energy CEO, noted in his letter to shareholders.

Lol

I mean, have you ever worked on a Russian engine? They suck.

Yeah, I remember owning one of these, Siemens C65. It was one of the first camera phones:

As a centrist, I say roast them all. Leave no oil infrastructure in Russia standing. Make Zelenskyy the new face of Just Stop Oil just for the heck of it.

Also, you don't want to have the name of someone you already know. If you do a job that's client-facing you don't want a name similar to someone else who does the same job in the area.

Disclaimer: I am an actual cis man (seriously, not like the character in the op), but I have a 2 month old child and picking a name for them was one of the most difficult things we ever did.

Quarterly reporting makes company leadership focus on short term gains over the long term health of the company, leading to frequent layoffs, selloffs and other actions that hurt both the employees and the economy as a whole.

Many Central African cities are built on sandy terrain and steep slopes—conditions that make the earth especially vulnerable to erosion. When rain falls, instead of soaking gently into the ground, it rushes downhill, carrying grains of soil with it. Over time, rivulets deepen into channels. Left unchecked, those channels can transform into colossal gullies, wide and deep enough to engulf homes, bridges, and entire streets.

Nope.

Do you remember Dancer Bus? The Lithuanian Oem (Vėjo projektai consortium) had landed on the market in 2018 with a revolutionary bus: transparent and wind-powered. Then, in 2023, at Busworld in Brussels, it was back to make headlines with another very special vehicle: a 12-meter electric, with an unladen weight of just 8.6 tons, thanks to a strong and lightweight composite body made from plastic also collected in the oceans.

Lo and behold, unfortunately, the Lithuanian Oem has declared bankruptcy. The official announcement came on Linkedin, with a post by founder Alvydas Naujekas. A lightning bolt out of the blue? Almost, since from Busworld 2023 2023 to date there had been no particular news, neither of new products, nor of orders and deliveries from Dancer Bus, despite the company’s proclamations and plans, such as the construction of a new factory that would allow the assembly of more than 500 pieces per year.

Why Dancer Bus is bankrupt?

The pandemic hit Dancer Bus hard, and a key step came in 2022, when – as reported by the Ukrainian media ain – the company turned to the investment fund NuCapital for a 1.8 million euro loan; a loan granted until July 2025 and obtained by pledging the factory as collateral.

According to what Naujekas wrote, it was NuCapital that caused Dancer Bus to go bankrupt. The fund, however, returned the accusations to the sender, saying it was simply working to recover the loaned capital.
