Poverty and IQ in BlegooVision  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , , ,

I recently got an article from our very own , who wanted to see his thoughts published and critiqued around here. It required serious formatting, but I thought it’s a free service I can provide to the second highest commenter (in terms of quantity) on this blog. My comments will be highlighted inline and concentrated at the end. 

Meleschurian or Turchurian candidate: SRI-racha Fall  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

Sriracha is a 'sauce piquante', SRI is the Romanian Secret Service, fall is autumn, and in Romanian "picant" could also be derived from 'to fall' which is 'a pica.' We look at the consecutive declarations of Romania’s president, an allied journalist and finally, the candidacies of other president-hopefuls, from the head of the Romanian Secret Service, Melescanu and to the former Justice Minister, Macovei. But most of all, the title is a tip of the hat to Vlad Petreanu and his excellent expose, with a title that translates roughly as “The [secret] Services Autumn.”

orezul, iq-ul si chinezii  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Desi am mentionat cat de dificila este cultivarea orezului in comparatie cu graul, nu cred c-am fost suficient de clar si-am decis sa ma docomentez. Si-apoi voiu a va spune si despre limba chineza.

Ana Birchall: se ia pe cale orala...  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , ,

Dupa ce acum o spatamana aflam despre o alta romanca de seama ca "o suge", iata ca blogosfera imi aduce la cunostinta ca Mrrr nu este singura femeie demna de a fi pe prima pagina, dar despre care eu habar n-am. Mai este cel putin una: Ana Birchall. I-as zice ABC, dar mi-e teama sa nu se interpreteze C ca fiind un cuvant urat, pe care nu l-as asocia cu ea.

Inchisori CIA? La noi? Fugi, dom-le, cu cercu!  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Inca o data, Romania trimite o dezmintire - de data asta scrisa si oficiala - celor de la Brussels: BBC NEWS | Europe | Romania says it had no CIA bases. In ciuda raportului lui Dick Marty, care acuza Romania de a fi gazduit centre de detentie CIA alaturi de Polonia, Romania sustine ca nu este adevarat.

PISA 2015 II: more on Asia  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

After , here we expand on our knowledge of the top-performing Asian countries, which share some important characteristics.

9/11, Partizanat or Partisanship: R U Happy, Basescu?  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Extreme division in the public opinion is not new and is not common only to Romania. What is special about our situation is how ludicrous and paranoid their claims are. In this article commenced long ago, we look at how “tunnel vision” and “excessive focus” ruins politics, and implicitly, electorates who fail to censor the politicians who succumb to it.

Anti-aging Sugar Tax Zahar  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

I pity the politicians who want to do something good. They can’t clickbait their laws. For instance, the measure to tax sugary stuff can and should be called an anti-aging tax or, in Romanian, “contributia pentru o tinerete fara batranete si-o veatza fara de moarte”.

also sprach nietzsche I care estem  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Am fost intrebat de unde vine titlul blogului si n-am raspuns, pentru ca raspunsul ar fi fost mult prea lung. Dar la un moment dat ceva, cumva trebuie sa ofer ca raspuns. Am decis sa-ncep c-un articol mai mult sau mai putin enciclopedic despre Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra si – intr-un viitor apropiat - Zamolxis.

SF-ul si bunicul  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Cand am inceput articolul despre colivie, credeam ca voi ajunge din SF la bunic, dar n-a fost sa fie. Asa ca reiau firul, incep sa-l innod aici, si-am sa-l tai intr-un articol urmator.

SuperWritings  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Only recently have I discovered the "Superscrieri Prizes" and I thought I share it with you – it’s quite interesting.

Creierul I – Neuroplasticitate  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Un studiu recent publicat mai adauga un crampei in intelegerea legaturii intre ruginirea creierului si alti factori externi, cum ar fi gripa. Si totusi, nimic nou sub soare..

Blegoo strikes (debates?) again  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

Blegoo, previously profiled and published here, took some time off from shovelling to write an article for this blog, as a guest. I’m publishing it here as encouragement (longer version), with the spelling mistakes left uncorrected but listed at the end, and also detailing there the formatting work I (still) had to do.

Zamolxis iti arata degetul..  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , ,

Recent a aparut in blogosfera romaneasca un articol mai demult publicat. Dar bloggerul care l-a dezgropat (Arhi) l-a tradus intr-un stil mai mult vesel (gay) decat informativ. Si-n traducere, ai devenit gay daca ai inelarul mai mic, ceea ce nu-i pe de-a-ntregul adevarat.

La vie en rose – sa ma-nsor sau plm?  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , ,

Cu multi, multi ani in urma, cand eram in faculta, luasem un curs de franceza. Am publicat deja primul eseu scris in acel curs, despre primul meu sarut. Recent, am dat peste cineva care aborda cam aceeasi problema. Si m-am gandit sa public prostioara asta.

Badisms and PSDisms  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

Romania is once again going through some convulsive protests and it's fun checking out how they are seen on the dark side. I started with Mircea Badea, about whom I’ve written extensively in the past (Romania’s Glenn Beck, censured).

Din ciclul vecini si frati: Moldova si Bulgaria  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Aflam dintr-un ziar indian (1) dar si de la hotnews.ro ca moldovenii expulzeaza 2 diplomati romani si si-au chemat Lidia Gutu (ambasadoarea) inapoi.

romanii sunt tigani prosti si paduchiosi

Fiindca, pare-se, e nevoie de o campanie ROM pentru a afla ce spune Google. How "lice-laced" must you be to hear in a TV commercial about Google?!

Am luat plasa Lovenstein, imi spuse un anonim  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , ,

Intr-un articol precedent, am cazut pentru o farsa si am citat un "studiu" care n-a fost facut niciodata, sau mai bine zis a fost facut de oameni pusi pe shotii. Nazbatia asta are niste implicatii interesante.

MH17, again  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , , , ,

Discussing the tragedy is inescapable. I had started doing this a few days ago, focusing mostly on Andrei Anghel, but didn’t have the time to say all that I wanted to say, which is why I’m continuing here.
