  • Economically failing nuclear plant to receive 1.1B bailout

    Jump

  • Nuclear is an important stop gap in the process of replacing fossil fuels.

    Trouble is, we're now so short of time that there's probably little benefit from making loads of new nuclear plants as they take too long to build.

  • The climate action zones - tech vs behavior

  • I'm not sure that's true.

    This article implies an awful lot of people are meat eaters, globally.

    One in 100 people in Gaza has been killed since October 7 | CNN

    Jump

  • Source for those numbers?

    Because both Hamas and Israel have reason to inflate the number of fighters.

  • And therefore all those poor people are not the people you're trying to convert to a plant-based diet.

  • You don't have to do this!!

  • US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Army

    Jump

  • Yes, those things create friction with the US.

    However, I'm sure China will grow to use their navy to project control of their Belt-And-Road initiatives. You bet they'll be working to prop up governments that will reap the profit from their investments down the line, than allow rebellious groups or hostile neighbouring states to threaten those interests.

  • I disagree that the really hard things don't cost money.

    Eating less meat does, at the surface, cost the consumer less money. If I go in to the supermarket, it's cheaper to buy a bunch of chicken wings than it is to buy some plant based protein (not to mention my kids will actually eat the chicken). And yes, I know, "ThErE aRe pLeNTy oF cHeAPeR WaYs to EaT a nOn-MEaT DiEt.". Thank you, Mr Vegan, we're talking about converting the masses here. Government's can change that by changing subsidy weights, but then it's not really an individual-led change at that level.

    Same for decarbonisation of heating - if I want to install a heat pump and insulate my home better, that costs money!

    As for flying yes, that's more about regulating air travel to make it cost more and stopping the practice of airlines having to fly empty flights to retain their use of that flight plan. Again, not really an individual-driven change. Especially because the impact of flying disproportionately leans towards the more wealthy and business.

  • Surely they intend to use it the same way the US does - projecting force to cement soft power?

  • A Sobering Christmas Reality: Cocktail of Hazardous Pesticides in Wine has Tripled

    Jump

  • I found one source! It was sponsored by the British Tobacco Company, lol.

    Nah, it's difficult to find recent data of it - because I get the impression from the papers I have found - the idea was thrown out as a marketing ploy in the 50s and has no significant impact on risk.

    Instead it just makes cigarettes worse for the environment - because the filters don't decompose.

  • Majority of Britons support rejoining the EU single market - poll

    Jump

  • I'm baffled by how you lump everyone into such a close vote as 'getting what they wanted', with an undertone suggesting you mean 'getting what they deserved'.

    Most people can't just up and leave their country; to do so would mean causing more damage to their lives than just sitting in the shit sandwich they've been served by the useful idiots that made this mess.

    Then there's the whole issue with Russian interference that 'probably happened' according to MI5/6, but needed a full investigation which Alexander Boris de Pfelelfllellogram Johnson - likely being in Russian pockets already - obviously quashed.

  • 'I’m calling from Israeli intelligence. We have the order to bomb. You have two hours'

    Jump

  • Everytime I read an article like this, my immediate reaction is posting a comment expressing my disgust with the Israeli State's actions and everytime I hesitate because I don't want to suffer the inevitable wave of people defending the Israeli State's actions as somehow justifiable because Hamas did something vile first.

    It's a continuing cycle of violence and the Israeli State holds a humongous power advantage. They don't use that power disparity to deescalate and integrate the Palestinian people to prevent Hamas from having support. Instead they do shit like this where they drive Palestinians straight into Hamas' hands, because the Palestinian people are given no other option to turn to.

  • Firefox starting to remove tracking parameters from shared URLs

  • Ooh. I hope this can be set as the default for 'Copy Link' and then I can just have the tracking when I actually want it.

  • Next time you accidentally own a slave, do let me know when you decide to let them go free with the consequence being a murderous wizard immediately shows up at your house.

  • That's not a wand, Harry...

  • Oh yeah. In all fairness, I'm sure Harry would happily let Kreacher be free if he wouldn't instantly go on snitch on them to Voldie & Co.

  • That's not a wand, Harry...

  • Who does Harry own?

    Also, can Dumbledore own slaves if he's dead?
