We hebben zo'n krom asielsysteem. Ondertussen zijn we het afvoerputje voor opportunistische economische migranten die misbruik maken van de barmhartigheid van ons asielsysteem. Ze liegen, bedriegen en plegen zelfs geweld tegen hulpverleners.

Romans had their own version of fast food known as a "thermopolium." These ancient eateries were a fascinating glimpse into the culinary habits of the time.
A Roman thermopolium was essentially an early form of a fast-food joint. It was a place where people could enjoy hot food and drinks on the go. What made them unique was their setup. At the heart of a thermopolium was a counter, and embedded in this counter were containers called "dolia." These dolia held a variety of dishes, from stews to sausages to simple snacks.
The concept was simple and effective. Patrons could quickly purchase ready-made meals from these dolia, making it a convenient option, especially for the working class. It was like a precursor to today's fast-food restaurants, where people could grab a quick, satisfying bite to eat during their busy days.
Roman thermopolia were not only places to satiate one's hunger but also hubs of social activity. People from different walks of life would gather around these counters, sharing stories and enjoying the diverse flavors of ancient Roman cuisine.

The strength difference between male and female bodies is vast.
On average, males have:
- 57% more grip strength [1]
- 65% more leg strength [2]
- 90% more total upper body strength [3]
- 162% more punch power [4]
To put these numbers in comparison, males are only 7% taller than females, yet on the population level we easily see the considerable height differences between them.[5] Percentages like 50-160% are therefore immense and have considerably less overlap between the sexes.
The musculoskeletal differences between equally trained males and females are so large that there is no way males can compete fairly with females.

Today we commemorate the Yezidi genocide. 6,500 women & children were kidnapped and enslaved. Thousands of men, boys & elderly women were brutally murdered. Today, 9 years after the start of the genocide, hundreds of thousands of Yezidis are still displaced.

Yes, a group of British imams really is in Afghanistan to *support* the Taliban.
2nd from left here is Haitham al-Haddad, arguably the UK's very worst hate preacher.
There will be no consequences of any significance, of course. Extremism will continue to flourish in the UK.
De afgelopen twee jaar heb ik dit koekje gebruikt om de gierigheid van bepaalde bedrijven te meten, in relatie tot de reële inflatie.
Anderhalf jaar geleden koste dit koekje £1.65, een maand geleden £2, en nu £2.20.

Today 49BC Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon, signaling the start of civil war.
The historical records differ about which decisive comment Caesar made on crossing the Rubicon: one report is Alea iacta est (usually translated as "The die is cast").
