The less time given for risk assessment, the greater the risk. But also the greater the gain. If you go by the principle: "Free cheese... only for the second mouse", then in an age when information exchange and processing is measured in milli and nanoseconds, the second mouse may get nothing at all - or secure traps await it, because the first mouse will have calculated the possible risks and moved on to another piece of cheese...
Without removing their boots, they walked around the non-heating radiator, felt it, struggling to detect even a trace of warmth - but nothing. After a certain failure, having tried to argue that everything here was wrong and that the valve could be replaced (preferably paid in cash), they arrived at the conclusion that the connecting joint could be replaced.
In the middle of the room, one younger and one older Russian-speaking young men had each ordered the largest pizza, which they were then quickly eating, washing it down with tea - not cola, as one might clichédly imagine.
"Defective" people would not be anything special if only this portion of society were not so impressively large, and if their existence were not based on living off benefits and parasitising at the expense of the rest of society in socially acceptable and unacceptable forms. What is this defective society?
Events of a Sunday around a suspicious service centre. A trader who has taken up residence in warehouse premises located next to a residential building has decided to carry out repair work on parts related to oil transshipment, which inevitably produces a terrible stench. The services are powerless.
The topic of money at school has always been a sensitive one. Parents either resign themselves to it or talk around it, fearing that their child will not be viewed favourably by the class teacher and school management. One must conclude that legally such collection of money is not particularly legitimate, but there is also no alternative for solving the problem or legalising the process.
Tormented and poisoned by oil products (benzene is a carcinogenic substance whose concentration is regularly exceeded at least fourfold), Sarkandaugava and Kundziņsala residents have been dealt two more unpleasant surprises by Riga City Council, which promise to make daily life even more unbearable with even greater stench, noise, and now also the threat of explosions.
I decided to look into the Riga Development Plan for 2006 to 2018. If until now I had relied on the willingness of state and municipal institutions to represent citizens' interests and their common sense, then after a relentless and at times hopeless struggle against the acute air pollution in Sarkandaugava, I decided to remain in opposition to any city development plans.
Man-Tess has become even more brazen and now, along with the usual acetone-like smell which, it turns out, contains benzene and other carcinogenic substances, a constantly humming pump has for several weeks in a row been disturbing the nighttime peace of residents in the nearest buildings in Sarkandaugava.
When talking about oil, one often hears - oil is black gold. Evidently, not only oil extraction but also its transshipment by companies in the Riga Free Port has for decades allowed them, to put it mildly, to "thumb their noses" at environmental requirements and local residents.
