Dutch police were also in on the SKY hack, and, at the same time as the Belgian police, 5am this morning, raided 75 locations in the Netherlands.

30 suspects have been arrested and 28 guns confiscated.

Heh, my government now has the plan to have people who enter the country by car get a mandatory corona test.  This is already the case for air and sea travellers.


I wonder how they are going to enforce that.. Do they have a secret time machine to bring us back 40 years to a time before Schengen, when we still had border controls?

They could do internal (nationally) road checks. Where they don't check at the national border, but within at various checkpoints. This technically is Schengen compliant

I think it would be easier and quicker to design and build aforementioned time machine than it is to hire enough police patrols to do that job

The population of Iceland is developing serious insomnia.

Since febuary, more than 50000 earthquakes, some as strong as 5 on the Richter scale, have been keeping them awake.
The cause of this is a large plume of magma wriggling in the gap between the American and European continental plates.

It is expected that sometime soon, a 'canyon eruption' will take place.


Hotdamn, that is about 1000 earthquakes per day

That sucks. They already have to live with Brennivín and Hakarl. They deserve some good luck.

They hope the eruption will come soon and put an end to their shaky troubles.
The eruption is not expected to be very dangerous. Spectacular and pretty, but nowhere near as explosive as the volcano that erupted about a decade ago.

Worded like this it sounds like a collective deathwish

Hey - I first wanted to type 'their shaky existence', that would have even been worse hahaha

EDIT: Dutch election results. It is terrifying. It was inevitable.

What can I say... Crazy times
I think that half a rainforest was cut down just to make the paper for my election form. So many parties lol.


What really pisses me off though is that the major government party, the VVD, didn't get punished, just because they have a war-time prime minister.  Their party privatized healthcare and made budget cut after budget cut for the past 30 or so years, which led to understaffed ICUs and healthcare in general..

It's lke... A captain of a ship, that throws everyone overboard, and then afterwards gets patted on the back and promoted becaused he rescued a few of them from drowning.

"Good" news for women in the UK. Wayne Couzens' coworkers will be there to watch over you.

You mean the co-workers who found and arrested him within the week? That doesn't sound as negative as you seem to think it does.

The title of the thread clearly says jokes, and I didn't know a better way to phrase it.

In Iceland, the volcano Fagradalsfjall, at about 40km of Reykjavik, is erupting. The skies above Iceland are coloured red.
The Icelandic government has shut down the airports as a preventive measure.
Icelanders are urged to not go towards the eruption zone. A team of geologists has been deployed with helicopters to measure the scale of the eruption.
