Nice to see a robot that doesn't walk like it has shit its pants. 👍
It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.

I wonder if Putin has put Trump in overdrive, because Putin is panicking?If Trump/USA invades Greenland it would most likely be the end of NATO, and it would be the end of Europe buying weapons from USA for Ukraine.USA already had all the access to Greenland they wanted until Trump started this nonsense.There is no rational reason for Trump to want Greenland, except to destroy NATO! Which he hinted at numerous times already in his first presidency.From that perspective disrupting Venezuelan oil also makes sense, because China buys oil from Venezuela, without that oil China may have to buy more oil from Russia and pay more than they do currently where China gets Russian oil at a very steep discount.

The actions of Trump seem designed to help Putin, and my guess is that Putin is the designer.

Trump stuns as he floats nuclear option on midterms: 'They should cancel the election'

Jump

The federal government is above the states, if it's federally declared illegal federal police can arrest anyone participating and planning to hold the election anyway. Just like FBI could arrest people for Cannabis even when a state had legalized it.

Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court. All these parts of the power structure have been conditioned to do as he says. And we've already seen how he uses them illegally, even openly with ICE.Trump doesn't give a shit about the law, he will make some insane excuse and call martial law.Trump has not been seriously resisted yet, how can you claim that Trump or Vance taking power is not an option?

British voters want to be part of EU more than French and Italians, poll reveals

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 22h ago

Yes, and that thing is that English is the leading language for international communication, so Russia has plenty people that speak and write English well.

Allegedly they tried to manipulate an election in France too, but the French of the Russian agents was so horrible, that the French could spot it immediately.

Having the international language of choice is a big vulnerability in this situation.

Europe is complicit in America’s crimes since Europe loans money to America.

What an absolute bullshit argument! By that standard China would be the most complicit, and China and USA don't agree on foreign politics.

there needs to be some kind of broad holding of Universal Humanist Principles

I agree, and those principles are the basis for the welfare system, healthcare for all, livable minimum wage etc.But also all EU countries are committed to those, it is mandatory for being a member of EU.

UK has a long history of not respecting such values particularly with their colonialism, and not letting go until they couldn't hold onto it anymore.USA has a similar problem with slavery way beyond what was acceptable in other countries that called themselves civilized. USA has even gone so far as to keep oppressing minorities, first with less voting power, but later exploited as cheap labor, which is probably why we see such a low minimum wage even today.

Take those general humanitarian principles, and you will see the leading democracies also being leading in humanitarian values. An example obviously being the Scandinavian countries. Just as authoritarian countries have disregard for humanitarian values.We see that clearly in both USA and UK that are both dysfunctional democracies.

By that metric and looking at the awful position of Denmark in regards to the Israeli Genocide

And what awful position is that? Denmark has not helped Israel in their genocide, there was a reaction against the Hamas terrorist attack a couple of years ago, but the tune has changed a lot since that. I agree that personally I think our prime ministers initial reaction was disgusting and tone deaf 100% supporting Israel (but only morally and at the time), but Denmark has not supported Israel in their violent attacks on Palestine. And Denmark has also criticized Israel very strongly, and OFFICIALLY accused Israel of genocide in for instance UN.

The knee jerk reaction to support Israel is something that most western democracies suffer from, we were responsible for the creation of Israel, and somehow see it as our responsibility to protect Israel. Although Israel has become the villain we originally wanted to protect them against.But Denmark is in no way like either USA in this situation, that have laws that they are required to protect Israel. Those laws may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but in this situation they need to be removed.

I must admit I am not nearly as informed about Portugal as I am about Northern Europe. But despite that I know they have some pretty strong policies protecting the weaker parts of civilization and workers, as misunderstood as they may sometimes be compared to the Scandinavian model that seems to work better.The Portuguese may not be protesting as much as the Brits, but I don't think the Portuguese system is as inherently bad as is the case for UK. In Portugal most things can be improved through the democratic process. Denmark is also a country that has a very low degree of protests, and I believe that coincides with being one of the best democracies in the word. If it works don't fix it.

But apart from that, I agree with you.

Well IDK if VW is better in that regard, what I do know is that it's to save fuel, and ICE cars are on their way out anyway. So it's kind of a moot point to talk about improving on them now IMO.

Oh sorry for the mixup, mistook it for another line of debate.But still other countries have had similar systems and changed them. Including my own country, that also used to have a 2 part parliament similar to what UK has now.That was changed in 1953 after more than a hundred years. Here they were called first and second chamber, and that two part distinction had existed since the 16 hundreds, from before we had democracy.

I don't see why it would be harder to modernize in UK than other countries. Except for the British exceptionalism, and the British holding almost religiously on to their traditions.

Wow that's a very cool looking cabin on the Suzuki!We had an Opel Vectra from the same year, with leather cabin and manual 6 shift gear. We really liked that car, and would have kept it longer. But safety regulation required some pretty expensive repairs to keep it legal, and the yearly tax on petrol cars that don't have high mileage is becoming pretty significant here in Denmark.

But our VW ID.4 is a far cry from as bad as the EV you are showing.

Everything required for everyday driving has buttons and levers like traditional cars.VW is already doing it pretty well IMO, improving further on it to include for instance air condition is nice, but no biggie IMO.But again your Suzuki look REALLY nice. 😎

massive, complex, centuries old, highly resilient power structure

The constitution was supposed to be a living document, that was supposed to be improved upon.This is the exact opposite of your claim. USA was supposed to improve, Americans just chose not to do that.
