  • Trump says Nato defence spend rising to 5% of GDP is 'big win' for US and the West

    Jump

  • I think you're missing a lot of the context here.

    The collective agreement means that 3.5% of GDP will be spent on defense and 1.5% on defense related measures (cybersecurity, infrastructure security etc.). It applies to all countries in the alliance, including the US.

    The US already spends around 3.5% on defense according to Reuters and there is no requirement to use US manufacturers over others.

    I am not saying increasing defence spending is a good thing, just that you or the headlines have misinterpreted the agreement.

  • Former NATO Military Committee chair says ‘small Russian attack’ on Estonia wouldn’t trigger immediate armed response by alliance

  • I mean this was always the case, right? Just the headline is making people think the alliance is falling apart.

    Article 5 only says all parties will take "...such actions as deemed necessary...to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

  • Looks good, but charges a standard 10% booking fee which seems very steep imo. But I'm a cheap ass...

  • Did you you notice the second "you" in the title of this post? How do you feel about (not) noticing it?

  • It's additionally funny because the title on the webpage doesn't pick up the 2nd "the".

  • Post-birth screening is already very widely utilised in most western countries.

    E.g.

  • If you want to build apartments and homes in Nashville, you are required to build parking for cars. Otherwise, the city council will kill your project.

    Jump

  • While the fuck cars sentiment is as important as always, planning rules like this have a few goals which aren't all so malicious, including stopping projects decoupling their parking space and selling it for extra, or avoiding 30+ cars all over the sidewalks once everyone is moved in.

    Planning codes tend to try and anticipate a community's immediate vicinity needs. The best approach though would be "$x000 per unit to provide and maintain local public transport facilities and routes"

    Jump

  • That is a lot of baggage to be carrying. I'm sorry for everything you're all going through.

    If you want blind judgement on the situation... If "I went on a date that went nowhere when we were broken up" is a "confession" that will end your relationship, then sorry but it's already dead IMO. This should be a non-issue at all times.

  • Poland closes Russian consulate in Krakow over Warsaw mall blaze, says Russia recruited arsonists on social media

    Jump

  • I don't think I can agree on this take that without this bad actor, Europe would be without concerns. It seems too simple.

    Resources are not equally distributed and conflict will always arise from conflicting private/corporate and/or national interests. If Russia was not there, another would likely take its place.

    I do however agree that if everyone could think in a bigger picture beyond their own personal interests, we would be in a significantly better place.

  • 92.5% of new power capacity added worldwide in 2024 was from renewables

    Jump

  • I think it's more nuanced than that as the technologies needs time to mature and the supply chains need time to establish. The price of renewables, especially solar and wind, has plummeted faster than anyone ever expected, so arguably it's cheaper (economically) now.

    There's also the saying "the best time to buy a house is always 50 years ago, the second best time is now". I don't see much benefit in regretting yesterday's decisions.

  • 92.5% of new power capacity added worldwide in 2024 was from renewables

    Jump

  • Little to none so far. This might change in the future, but not that quickly.

    The additional renewable capacity added year on year is not enough to cover the additional electrical load, which originates mainly from 2 things: transport/infrastructure (including EVs, data centres, AI) & environmental loads (more heatwaves in populated cities, where people then need to cool).

    As far as I understood, 2024 was a substantial year for the environmental side of the equation, otherwise additional renewables installations would have been able to cover just about all the additional power load.
