  • Earth gets an extra moon this fall

    Earth gets an extra moon this fall – at least temporarily.

    Our planet’s gravity has caught a wayward asteroid, and the asteroid will orbit Earth for about two months, between September 29 and November 25.

    The asteroid was discovered by astronomers on August 7 in one of Nasa’s space programs, writes CNN. The fact that it is “stuck” in the earth’s gravitational field is due to the fact that it traveled at a relatively low speed, which means that it is more affected by the earth’s force field.

    The asteroid comes from the Arjuna asteroid belt that orbits the Sun, and is expected to return there when it has completed orbiting the Earth.

    It is not the first time that Earth has been visited by “mini-moons” – it also happened in 1981 and 2022.

    Almost three months after this summer’s parliamentary elections, France has finally managed to shake up a new government under former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.

    The ministers were presented by the Elysée Palace on Saturday evening.

    As expected, the new government leans to the right compared to the previous centrist government.

    In the parliamentary elections at the beginning of July, both the united left and the far right advanced strongly, but without reaching a sufficient majority. Instead, Macron’s movement had to turn to the traditional right to try to form a new government.

  • Entrepreneurs about Combo games: Unreasonable demands

    It continues to storm around the Social Democrats’ lottery company.

    Combispel has for several years made “unreasonable demands” on telemarketing companies, according to entrepreneurs who DN talked to and who refrained from selling S-lotteries.

    Among other things, it appears in the email that Kombispel expected the telemarketers to reach over 20 people per hour, when the normal is 10-15 people.

    The entrepreneurs also describe a pressured payment model where the seller only gets paid per lot sold.

    – I understood quite quickly that it is impossible to carry out the assignment without either cheating, or paying wages that are actually far too low, says an anonymous entrepreneur.

    Kombispel says in a comment to DN that they take the criticism very seriously and that it will be part of the ongoing investigation.
