I just concluded a very successful discussion with the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, during which it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to markets in America and globally, another 500,000 tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 tons immediately thereafter. "In addition, based on the status of their diesel refineries, Russia will then deliver, in the short term, 3,000,000 tons of diesel fuel. Between our TOTAL control over the Strait of Hormuz and this extraordinary announcement regarding Russian energy, diesel prices for Americans and, in fact, for the whole world will DROP, AT RECORD NUMBERS AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially for our large farmers, ranchers, and truck drivers, represent my highest priority. This is a very big and important announcement. It must also be understood that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network, following the discussions with Putin. #Trump #Putin #motorina (translated)

Luka Svetina noted that the research, in his opinion, again shows that older voters are the target of campaigns by non-governmental organizations supported by mainstream media. He assessed that they are particularly susceptible to slogans without a solid foundation, including the term "political police," and that because of their numbers, they often decide Slovenian elections to the detriment of younger people who desire change. He added that this generation fell for distraction tactics in the week leading up to the parliamentary elections regarding clips from Anticorruption: according to him, it became more important who recorded them than what was actually in them. Svetina urged conversations with parents and grandparents and to provide them with credible information, including citing laws and commentaries. #Slovenija #politika #generacije (translated)

Lotta Šega wrote that there are probably thousands of young people in Slovenia, aged 20 to 35, who are not registered with the Employment Service and do not receive social support. According to her, they are unemployed, living with parents who financially support them, and do not care about work. She asked how they could be motivated. #slovenskaMladina #brezposelnost #motivacija (translated)

Samo Glavan called on voters to vote in favor at the referendums if they want, in his words, to stop the theft of public money and keep more of it for themselves. He linked voting against to the continuation of mocking people and their honest work. He warned that in case of defeat, they would be doomed in his opinion: they would drown in the lies of RTV, debts due to people he labeled as unprepared for work, and in his derogatory description of immigration. He also claimed that Janković, Golob, Bratušek, and their ilk would continue to steal millions and billions, intended for the sick, the elderly, and infrastructure development, without punishment. The publication ended with a reference to the title "My Homeland." https://t.co/7fstDCWMl7 #referendum #pravice #domovina (translated)

Karli Erdlen wrote that young people do not follow the programs of RTV Slovenia and questioned why they would pay for content that they do not need or use according to him. He believed that those under 30 would not watch Starička or listen to Marcel and predicted that young people would therefore vote for the abolition of the RTV fee. https://t.co/IndkDVNNXd #mladi #RTV #UKINITEV (translated)

Robert Rakuš, on the 40th anniversary of his first day at work, recalled that on October 6, 1986, he met his colleague Vrečar in the locker room before six in the morning. He asked him if he had brought any spirits for the coffee. Since Rakuš did not have any, he said he spent eight hours polishing welds in a 40-cubic-meter fuel oil tank. He intended to mark the anniversary with 0.3 liters of whiskey on the rocks, noting that he had fulfilled the first condition for retirement. #spomini #prvaden #življenjepis (translated)

Tea Jedlovčnik wrote that Suzana Šukler also advises Minister Osterc, sarcastically labeling the cost as insignificant. He believed that there are still personnel at the ministry from the time of Loredan and that the measures are similar. In this context, he shared a link to an Info360 article with the question of who advises the Ministry of Health under the leadership of Tadej Ostrc and for what amounts. https://t.co/BKVGtOiK6b #zdravstvo #politika #svetovanje (translated)

Tomas Kapler stated in his contribution that the discovery of two fragments of pyrite in a former clay pit near English Barnham, according to him, pushed evidence of fire being used by humans back by 350,000 years. A team from the British Museum, led by Nick Ashton and Rob Davis, found them in reddish clay, even though pyrite was not naturally present in the area, according to Kapler. Archaeologists also discovered charred and heat-cracked hand axes and soil burned at over 700 °C there. It reportedly took scientists four years to eliminate the possibility of a fire caused by lightning. Kapler wrote that research published in December 2025 in the journal Nature described the oldest unequivocal evidence that humans could make fire themselves. According to him, the previous such evidence came from Neanderthal sites in northern France and was 50,000 years old. The find from Barnham, according to Kapler, shows that humans had this ability already 400,000 years ago. Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London speculated that they were early Neanderthals, among other reasons based on finds from Swanscombe and Atapuerca. The contribution also addressed the fact that archaeological finds mainly preserve stone, while wood, leather, and plant fibers deteriorate. Kapler recalled a 35,000-year-old tool made from mammoth ivory from the German cave Hohle Fels, whose holes, according to him, allowed for the production of rope, and a six-millimeter fragment of a cord 50,000 years old found in the French Abri du Maras. Archaeologist Bruce Hardy's estimate that we know less than 10 percent of the ordinary life of prehistoric humans was linked by Kapler to the items that did not survive, such as nets, bags, bowstrings, or footwear. According to his conclusion, the image of the Stone Age captures primarily what has not perished. #Archeologie #DobaKamenná #Historie (translated)

For me, there are only two real explanations. Either a bad batch of the medication, meaning the drug has no corresponding effect or a significantly reduced effect (most often a manufacturing error or the age of the product) or administration outside the vein (extravasation). The second option is more probable. https://t.co/33IS0ZtG11 #zdraví #medicína #léky (translated)
