Lame journalism. If they're struggling with spelling of basic surnames like Paczyński, Brzęczyszczykiewicz or Gżegżółka then what will they do if they come across harder ones like Stółzpowyłamywanyminogami or Chrząszczbrzmiwtrzciniewszczebrzeszynie.
It would be nice if the site had an explanation why the decimal 0.1 has no finite representation in base-2 system. In short it's about factorization of the base of the system - base-2 lacks 5 that is present in base-10. It is analogous to 1/3 or 1/7 not having a finite representation in base-10 dot notation of a fraction.
Oak Park guy is a little fish.
Nuernberger trial was mostly a vae victis show.
They hanged few high level Germans and left tens of thousands of war criminals free. Adenauer's governments (1949-1963) were full of former nazis, amnesties of 1949 and 1954 cleared the slate of many mass murderers.
He was a little fish, yes, but the effort to prevent his deportation was part of something much bigger, carefully organized, and, in retrospect, pretty gross.
Consider a system with PID driver that samples temperature every 15-30min.
Measures are not 100% regular, so we have to substract dates to calculate time duration between samples.
Lets say we got one measure with timestamp 99-12-31 23:50 and second one with 00-01-01 00:15.
What will calendar code do if we substract 99-12-31 23:50 from 00-01-01 00:15?
Does 00y mean 2000 or 1900?
What will the driver do when suddenly temperature differential will change without relation to physical reality?
US is not a vivificaing spirit of everything that happens on the planet.
Ukrainians wanted to go their own way.
Moscow didn't wanted to lose strict control over them, so they went all out in their usual style.
Same thing happened in Georgia in 2008.
Its the people that wanted to change things, not some magical US meddling.
On the other hand if something happens then the US usually tries to exploit it for their own benefit.
IMO your way of looking at reality is wrong, because it messes causality.
Daily cycles on this graph [1] and oxygen surplus can be explained by hyperactivity of organisms that do photosynthesis - cyanobacteries and algae.
Something boosted their activity. It might be natural, caused by high temperature very low level of water. Might be because someone contaminated the river with something that worked as fertilizer.
Dogs don't eat algae, and there are killed beavers also.
Either you have mercury or you haven't. Blue algae are ephemeral and don't store mercury, If I'm not wrong (I could be wrong)
Wildfires can release mercury, stirring the bottom could (in theory) release mercury and environmental terrorists (from Poland, Germany or other countries) can trow poison in the water, of course. We can see a sudden global pattern of environmental crimes all around Europe since the last months (and don't tell me that is climate change, most wildfires were deliberate and systematic).
A start would be identifying the organisms killed, the level of poisons found in the last years and the type of poison(s) found in their corpses.

You seem to be missing one potential candidate state already responsible for some huge environmental disasters this year.
Russia is implicit in this list, but we need more data. Could be a boycott to keep the current government occupied and not focused on Ucranie or to promote their demise, but could have a simpler explanation also. By now the main categories are industrial dumping or foreign boycott. I don't believe in the climate change/bad luck theory.
The presence of salts is particularly interesting in its three possible ways to end there. Either:
1) Salt was dumped directly in the river by criminals or ...
2) Salt was a by-product of the toxic interacting with the river (Who has access to a lot o mercury salts? We have chemistry experts in HN, maybe some of them could enlight us about some possible chemical paths that release mercury and salt?) or ...
3) Salt (Iodine??) was a second dump aiming to fix the disaster and neutralize the poison after the fishes were killed. Maybe by the government, maybe by the perpetrators.
Many fishes can stand salt for hours or days using their liver to detox, time enough to quit the area. We used salt and freshwater baths routinely to treat our ill freshwater and marine fishes. If is progressive they survive. Carps can stand low quality waters.
The parasites could provide an answer. I would suggest to take a look to them.
The sad thing is that a large chunk of people in Russia actually support him.
Even educated ones. I saw a shocking interview with an academic (who even lectured on western unis) - he said, that on personal level destruction of Ukrainian cities is a sad thing, but Moscow just executes the law/privilege of the empires.
