Earthquake: Turkish Building Regulations Need to Improve

If you are ever in a Turkish building and an earthquake hits, you better be prepared to run the fuck out of the building sharpish. It seems that Turkish building regulations, along with widespread corruption, equates to many buildings being constructed from sand and poor materials often put together in a very shoddy manner. Of course, not all Turkish buildings are poorly constructed, there are some developers who take care to adhere to good construction practices.

The East Anatolian fault line is a ruthless judge of building regulations, which is being pushed Westwards, causing immense pressure with the tectonic plates to snap. The aftershocks were stronger than the initial earthquake. The epicentre of the earthquake occurred at a point where three tectonic plates meet at a triple junction. The last earthquake of this magnitude in South East Turkey occurred 200 years ago. This region of Turkey is also populated by a large number of Syrian and Iraqi refugees.

Imagine being in a high rise and on the 30th floor. Either you have a parachute and chance it out the window, or you will ride the thirty floors all the way down, ending up in the dust and rubble.

Turkish builders are often people with political connections who put profit above safety, and the cronyism and corruption of the government are the main reasons for the existence of “kacak” (contraband) buildings. Despite Turkey adopting the Italian model of earthquake prevention in building regulations recently, older buildings did not adhere to these regulations.

Many buildings are decrepit and poorly maintained, but greedy developers who skimp on proper building regulations and use poor quality steel and cement are to blame for the horrendous collapses. Developers even use empty cooking oil drums in the pillars of those buildings, as well as poor quality cement with cheap fillers. When these defective “kacak” buildings collapse in earthquakes like a house of cards, one can only blame the prevalent corruption in the Turkish construction industry.

In Japan, the construction of buildings are optimised and designed to survive severe earthquakes by swaying with the tremors. Until Turkey adopts a similar form of regulatory system within the construction industry that is properly policed and enforced, they will continue to suffer.

Gary Glitter to Advise Prince Andrew on Restoring Reputation

Disgraced nonce former pop star Gary Glitter has been freed from prison after serving half his 16-year jail sentence.

Glitter, 78, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was sentenced in 2015 for attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one of having sex with a girl under 13.

Upon release from HMP The Verne – a low security category C jail in Portland, Dorset, Glitter announced that he would like to not only restore his reputation as a serial paedophile but help the much beleaguered Prince Andrew restore his reputation as well.

“I’ve heard Prince Andrew wants to restore his reputation. Well, so do I. I am willing to work with Andrew right away. I just need to go on an urgent trip to Cambodia first.”

When the BBC reporter asked Glitter why he was going to Cambodia just after his eight-year prison term, Glitter just winked and left in a hurry to pack his bags.

There was no reply from Prince Andrew’s residence when reporters asked for comment.

China Denies it is Responsible For Chinese Spy Balloon Over Montana

The United States has detected what it says is a Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northwestern United States, the Pentagon said on Thursday, a discovery that comes days before Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken’s visit to Beijing.

No one knows what the hell China is looking for in Montana?

“We got horses, buffalo, cows and cowboys. Maybe those old commie bastards want to film a new series of Yellowstone. Mebbe they’s got some little Chinese dude in that balloon with a telescope searching for a shot of Kelly Reilly dipping her Montana hotness in a god-damn horse trough or something like that. Shi-i-et!” a bemused resident of a shack quipped.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, supreme communist party leader Xi Jinping emphatically denied that the balloon was from China.

“It a not Chinese, even though everything made in China. We are not spying on Yankees. We are not dropping the latest more deadly Wuhan Lab version of manufactured Coronavirus onto the USA. No! It nothing to do with China. Hee, hee, hee!”

Pentagon officials said the balloon had travelled all the way from China to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and through northwest Canada over the past few days before arriving somewhere over Montana, where it was hovering on Wednesday.

Beijing Biden was notified about the Chinese balloon but said nothing and went back to bed.

Militant Squad Member Ilhan Omar Taken Down

She usually stalks the halls of Congress with an RPG on her shoulder and a suicide vest strapped to her hijab, but the days for this militant ‘squad’ member were numbered. The House voted to remove Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, as she immediately pulled out the obligatory race card in her defence.

On Wednesday, the House took a procedural step to allow them to remove the Democrat from the committee, where she has held a seat since she was first sworn in as a member of Congress in 2019. Ms Omar has been accused of making antisemitic comments in the past. The vote was official on Thursday afternoon.

Fellow squad member and cute little chihuahua, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez yelped very loudly in a speech in support of her squad colleague, but alas her protestations went nowhere.

Don’t worry, ladies of the Squad, the fight continues…

Australia Will Print a Wombat Instead of King Charles III on $5 Bill

Australia Will Print a Wombat Instead of King Charles III on $5 Bill

Australia’s central bank announced Thursday it will be replacing the image on the $5 bill with a wombat instead of a portrait of King Charles III following the transition from currency featuring the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The decision will completely remove the British monarchy from the country’s banknotes, as the $5 bill was the last remaining bill featuring a monarch.

The bank said the move was made after consulting the woke government, which was in support of the change, Reuters reported.

The decision is obviously politically motivated and is a sure sign the Aussies are veering away from Britain’s royal family.

“We were thinking of putting a croc on the $5 bill, but eventually opted for a cute wombat,” a cheery Australian Reserve Bank staffer revealed.

Treasurer of Australia Jim Convict told reporters in Melbourne, the change is an “opportunity for Australia to distance itself from the whining pommie bastards since Queenie shuffled off this mortal coil”.

Another Australian at some watering hole commented: “I’ll have another 4-ex to that, Amen!”

FBI: “No Biden Documents With Classified Markings Found”

FBI: “No Biden Documents With Classified Markings Found”

The FBI were conducting a routine cleaning operation <ahem> search operation on Biden’s holiday home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday without turning up any classified documents.

“We cleaned the property out of any incriminating evidence or classified documents. There were no classified documents at the property because we took them all. Biden’s clear, but we’re going to come down hard on Donald Trump, where we found incriminating classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida,” the FBI agent in charge of the Biden clean up operation told CNN.

Now that Biden’s clear, everything is okay. President Donald Trump on the other hand will face the full wrath of the law. The president is facing a special counsel criminal investigation into his retention of several hundred classified documents and other government records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida — and his resistance to giving them up, which led to an FBI warrant and search to seize them last August.

Biden: 800 Million Third World People Welcome in USA

The current population of the United States is 331.9 million, but according to Joe Biden, there’s plenty of room for 800 million more.

“Eight hundred million people worldwide want to migrate into homes and jobs in America, according to a Gallup survey published on January 31. Well, why do you think I opened up our borders. You are welcome here, folks,” Mr Biden revealed at a recent press conference in Arizona.

“In 2021, 16% of adults worldwide — which projects to almost 900 million people — said they would like to leave their own country permanently,” the Gallup poll revealed.

Despite Biden’s open door policy at the US border being labelled as reckless by sane people, Biden is adamant that he is doing the right thing.

“If you live in the poorest countries in the world, we want to help you. Our borders are now open. You just have to walk through, and we will give you and your extended family, including goats and chickens, a home, a car, and a job. Folks, we also welcome each and every one of you into our own homes, and jobs.”

Americans are now being advised to accommodate economic migrants in their homes. Embassies in many troubled regions of the globe are also posting details on how to come to the United States to start a new life of luxury.

On Wednesday, Biden ordered the State Department to start a dedicated program for the migration of 800 million people from some of the most deprived countries in the world to be granted free entry into the United States.

“Mi casa, su casa! We Americans greet you with open arms into our homes. Welcome. Thank you!” Biden added.

Thousands Ghost Towns Created As People Flock to Vancouver

This is incredible, Vancouver in Canada is decriminalising hard drugs. Heroin, cocaine, PCP, Meth, whatever you want is now legal. The Canadian province of British Columbia on Tuesday began a three-year pilot program to stop prosecuting people for carrying small amounts of heroin, meth, ecstasy, or crack cocaine, as part of an effort to fight a drug overdose crisis.

At the moment of the announcement, millions of people applied for Canadian citizenship.

“The roads are empty, our village has been completely cleaned out. They’re all off to Vancouver,” the remaining resident of Grymshyte, a village just outside Grimsby, England, revealed.

Some people are so desperate to get to Vancouver, they are trekking over hundreds of miles of forest to get over the border from the United States.

Billy Bob from Missoula, Montana is a dedicated meth head who just packed his bags and left his home when he heard the news on CNN.

“I wuz out in da yard wit my cuz Arlene. We were gonna go on our honeymoon, but I told her she can stay wit our 15 kids. I tol her dat I gotta date wit some serious meth in Vancouver. Dang it! Arlene did not take it well. Especially as I took da last bag of meth wit me. Hyuk! Hyuk! Hyuk!”

Why is Pfizer Making Covid Mutations More Deadly?

There is obvious silence from the mainstream media, but this is a serious matter that concerns humanity. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer has been creating Covid mutations that could be leaked like the Wuhan, China virus was leaked from a lab.

The news was discovered after a Project Veritas undercover reporter posed as a gay date for a Pfizer employee identified as Jordan Trishtan Walker, director of research and development-strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning.

During the video, Trishtan Walker admits that Pfizer is conducting illegal Gain of Function research on the Covid virus. This process essentially involves creating mutations of the virus so that Pfizer can create profitable vaccines to sell in the future when they possibly release the virus.

An In-Depth Look at the Distinctions Between Free Cell and Spider Solitaire

Freecell and Spider Solitaire are very popular in classic card games. While they may look similar at first glance, there are actually some distinct differences between the two that set them apart. Freecell is a solitaire game where all the cards start out dealt face-up in eight columns. The aim of the game is to move all the cards into four foundations based on the suit and in numerical order from Ace to King. Players must use their strategic skills to build stacks of alternating colours in descending order from King to Ace.

christina-wocintechchat-com-dI3BWO4dvNo-unsplashOne significant difference between freecell and other solitaire games is that it allows players to move multiple cards simultaneously as long as they are placed in sequence and follow suit. On the other hand, Spider Solitaire requires players to arrange all 52 cards into ten columns, each containing four or five randomly distributed cards with only one visible card per column.

To win the game, players must build 8 stacks of cards from King through Ace within these ten columns. Unlike Freecell, Spider Solitaire does not allow for any kind of movement between different columns; instead, each column must be completed independently before moving on to another one.

What are the differences between the layouts of Free Cell and Spider Solitaire?

One of the major differences between Freecell and Spider Solitaire layouts is the number of cards dealt. In Freecell, all 52 cards are dealt face up into eight columns with four cards in each column. The remaining four cells are empty and can store any card during play. In Spider Solitaire, 54 cards are dealt face down into ten columns, with six cards in each column. The top card in each column is then turned face up, leaving 44 cards face down and ten face up. This layout allows for more strategic moves, as players can move multiple sequences at once if they have enough empty cells or columns available.

How many cards can be moved at once in Free Cell Solitaire compared to Spider Solitaire?

In Freecell Solitaire, you can move one card at a time. On the other hand, when it comes to Spider Solitaire, multiple cards can be moved at once. However, in Spider Solitaire, you can move multiple cards at once. This is because, in Spider Solitaire, you can move sequences of cards with the same suit and in descending order.

What is the objective of Free Cell compared to Spider Solitaire?

Freecell aims to move all the cards from the tableau to the foundations. The foundations are built up by suit, in ascending order, starting with the Ace. Unlike Spider Solitaire, Freecell has no suits, and you can move any card into an empty column. You can also move multiple cards at once if they are in sequence and of the same suit. In addition, you have four freecells that you can use as temporary storage for any card or group of cards while playing. This makes it easier to organize your table and plan your moves ahead of time.
