So what you’re saying is that it’s mostly the rarest birds that get killed by wind turbines?

No, nowhere did I say that.

 

By the way: I just read about a study in Spain that claims that very year in Andalusia alone 2.6 million birds are killed during olive harvest season (they use automated machines instead of humans and those machines kill a lot of birds).

@rybak are these still protests about the abortion court ruling, or about pandemic restrictions?

It's still about abortion, with every day in each protest is more and more people and in more cities. 

I saw some photos of small protests of our citizens next to our embassies/consulates in several cities like Berlin, London, Manchester, Paris, Oslo, Copenhagen, NYC and even Tbilisi.

 

Our government will probably reintroducted not planned earlier fully lockdown (in last month most of politicans were against this as our economy won't handle it again) from Saturday to stop these protests. And still they will saying that it's about protecting people for faster spreading of virus.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
