  • SUVs made up 20% of global emissions growth and 55% of car sales globally in 2023

    Jump

  • Agreed. I'd love to also see how this was calculated, but the graph doesn't make me want to click on the link tbh.

    My (and hopefully most other's too) hatred for SUV's is already maxxed out anyway.

    *Edit: ok, my curiosity won and I clicked it and saw that it was done by IEA... Literally one of my favourite organisations that don't tend to come up with junk data or conclusions. It's a good read.

  • EU ministers fume as ‘outrageous’ Hungary yet again blocks military aid for Ukraine

    Jump

  • While I understand the sentiment, such action doesn't match the long term goals of the bloc to unify the continent. Another solution needs to be found to ensure single bad actors cannot hold up actions which severely impact the remaining stakeholders - I have no idea how it could be done though.

  • Renewable energy surpasses April power demand in Austria

    Jump

  • Austria is very reliant on Hydro power, which normally peaks as snow melts during spring (i.e. April). It will be interesting as climate change shifts the timing and flow of water in the country, but positive to see a growing hydro and wind build-out too.

  • Mullvad will no longer be able to accept DKK from its customers

    Jump

  • I am going to absolutely take this at face value without checking any of the text because anything that is so well written, must be true! Thanks, I learnt a heap from this.

  • Nuclear energy has no place in a green Scotland

    Jump

  • It appears to be a widely quoted official figure and have no insight on if it is realistic. I am also aware that this does not consider the considerable environmental impact of the disaster, nor the economic cost to clean up the mess.

    My comment was more relating to the facts about the current state of renewables.

    The 2 options this comments OP provides at the end are what I mostly agree on, where we either go 0 carbon now and accept nuclear (with its flaws) as base load, or continue with carbon intensive tech as base load and continue to build out renewables on top.

  • Nuclear energy has no place in a green Scotland

    Jump

  • This hits the nail on the head! It's rare to see a sane and realistic take on nuclear online.

  • Engine Bursts Into Flames on Boeing Plane With 468 Aboard

    Jump

  • Zoom out to the 5 year graph and it tells another story.

    Also such events (which are non-catastrophic) are not entirely uncommon.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones

    Jump

  • I would agree, but I would not want to sleep with them on as OP requested.

  • You need an incredibly robust quality management system to even achieve certification (allowing you to place on the market) when creating systems which include life support function, or functions which potentially could kill a user. All potential changes both within and outside of the manufacturers' control MUST be assessed and constantly monitored so such issues CANNOT arise.

    No one should be able to legally place an unsafe app on the market, or legally perform changes to the app without the necessary checks and balances.

    Medical device approvals in most countries are definitely not the wild west. Although they are not perfect.

  • Macron: Nuclear arms should be part of EU defense debate

    Jump

  • I mean, I get what you're saying and all... buuuut the CO2/bomb WOULD be great on an electric bomber.

    How do people fall for believing in socialism, despite its downfalls?

    Jump

  • Are you talking about a pure socialist country, or socialist aspects within any system?

  • What is the smallest lie you have told that had the biggest consequences?

    Jump

  • You caused the sub prime mortgage crisis by saying you could play the goo goo dolls?!

  • Looking for German learning resources.

    Jump

  • A man named Michel Thomas created a series of audio lessons to teach a number of languages, including German. He does it in a simulated classroom type of environment where one "student" makes common mistakes and he corrects them, so you get to hear someone else make the mistake first.

    He also teaches you the necessary words to enable you to start understanding others speaking he language quickly. I found combining this with Duolingo and the super cheesy Extr@s TV series (once you have the basics) allowed me to go from 0 to speaking to people within 6 weeks and understanding 95% within 6 months.

    I learnt Spanish and German from his audiobooks. They are worth the money if you can afford it and/or cannot pirate it.

  • France to offer four-day week to parents sharing custody of children

  • Gotta boost that birth rate somehow

  • F.A.A. Audit of Boeing’s 737 Max Production Found Dozens of Issues

    Jump

  • Even the smaller competitors like Bombardier would have an interest in this, even if they are not the manufacturers of similar sized aircraft, a loss of faith in the aviation industry hurts everyone too. Plus suppliers etc.

    As for the investigators (I know you meant FAA, not FCC), we have a similar issue in medical devices - you need seriously well educated experts to perform the investigations, and it is hard to find any without industry experience which wouldn't look good on paper. The solution is to try as hard as you can to not have ex-employees audit their ex-bosses, but it isn't always possible so we accept some overlap. It doesn't mean these people don't take their job seriously.

  • F.A.A. Audit of Boeing’s 737 Max Production Found Dozens of Issues

    Jump

  • I don't think this ends in beheadings, but there will (hopefully) be significant follow on effects. A threat to consumer confidence in flying is a risk to the entire industry, all Boeing's competitors and the airlines will be screaming for the FAA to get the actions right here...

  • Sorry, I am seeing a lot of spam lately and got through the first sentence and assumed it was spam.

    Thanks for sharing, I'll delete my comment.
