  • "Unacceptable" Poland Demands Answers After Germany Dumpsters Afghan Migrants At Polish Border - News18

    Jump

  • Tbf, it sounds like neither side did a stellar job here.

    Poland not reacting "for several hours" makes it sound almost deliberate.Then again, I wonder how German police "informed" Poland for there to be no reaction. Did they fax?If they think the situation requires an immediate reply, why not call them? Surely a dedicated border patrol unit would have a contact number.Also, despite Schengen I don't think police can just cross the border to another state unless in pursuit of some fleeing criminal.And just dumping these people in some random location without any involvement of local authorities doesn't seem like proper protocol.

  • Too much of a good thing? Spain's green energy can exceed demand, country is looking at storing capacity or buyers to solve electricity oversupply

  • It doesn’t “rely” on that.

    France doesn't rely on river water to cool power plants?Where does the water come from then?

  • That's half the explanation.The economic and social decline makes people susceptible to populists.

    But the other half is this:They're not the only populists.To vote for outright, obvious Neo-Nazis you also have to ok with Neo-Nazis.

  • Where did AfD voters come from, and where did they go?

  • Inflation “going down” doesn’t mean there is no more inflation. It only means that there is less inflation than before

    Keep in mind that "inflation going down" is usually shorthand for the year-on-year inflation rate going down.If the yoy inflation rate goes down from one month to the next, then prices are still higher than previous year but may very well have fallen since last month.

  • That’s why the button says “purchase” instead of “buy”

    First off, they're synonymshttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/purchase#synonyms

    Now, I'm certainly no expert on the US legal system. It certainly seems silly if you could circumvent entire laws just by using synonyms but what do I know.However I have been talking about other countries where that is not the case and where the language is not English.So It really doesn't matter whether it say "buy" or "purchase" in English when it's "kaufen" in German or "acheter" in French.

  • Germany to miss 2030 climate goal: experts

    Jump

  • Yes, one can argue that more fossil energy could have been shut down if the nuclear plants had continued operating.

    That said, Nuclear was replaced by renewables. Coal was also replaced by renewables.Maybe more coal could have been replaced but claiming that nuclear was replaced with coal is a rhetoric trick but it is literally not true.

    Also these assumptions about replacing coal always seem to come from people who have no idea about the power of the German coal lobby.Coal is just about the only natural resource Germany has and is a massive industry.The coal exit movement is decades old as well. But as the graphs show it is also glacially slow due to massive lobbying.

    Jump

  • You original comment was that someone "turned on coal/oil…"That statement is factually and demonstrably incorrect.Gas was not even part of that original claim but whatever.

    Building capacity as a reserve for peak times is not the same as the plants actually running and producing emissions.As the graphs show, the actual production and therefore emissions from fossil sources have gone down. This is what matters in he climate change debate.The mere existence of buildings has little to do with the topic at hand.

  • Germany to miss 2030 climate goal: experts

    Jump

  • You mean "Installed net power generation capacity"?Because that measures how much could theoretically be produced, not how much is actually produced.

    For actual production, you might want to look at the two graphs below.Particularly the 4th one shows that gas peaked in 2000 and has not gone up during the nuclear phase-out.

  • You typically don’t get “ownership rights” when you purchase a game on Steam. You’ll typically be purchasing a licence to play the game, which could be taken away at any point.

    That is certainly what Valve thinks and writes in their TOS but if their store has a big button that says "BUY HALO" then courts may very well decide that you actually bought Halo.And many countries have a strict legal definition of what buying means that cannot be overruled by some company's TOS.

    Jump

  • This is explicitly against their TOS. Whether or not you’ll be found out is a whole other matter

    Also whether or not those TOS are legally enforceable in every single country Valve operates in.
