Ahh CS and CN gas aka tear gas that is regularly used by police against protestors even in Europe. In Germany you have to be older than 14 to buy some:

I mean it is a chemical weapon, but so is gunpowder, dynamite and TNT or the lead in the bullets. On a scale of 1(pepper spray) to 10(certain, gruesome death, close to torture) these tear gases are at most a 2. The thing is that after this 2 there is a void in the scale and the next thing is already a 7. So throwing them into the chemical weapons classification just undermines the actual terrible thing that they usually are.
Yeah the russia war is really bad, but do we really have to write headlines making it sound terrible that they use tear gas? Here comes the whataboutism: What do we do against police forces who use tear gas? Or when we so strongly condemn the russian tear gas ("chemical weapon") then its only logical that we sanction the shit out of countries who manufacture and use scale 7+ chemical weapons right? Like white phosphorous being made into shells in the USA, send to Israel, signed by Nikki Haley (Republican aka Nazi party of the USA) and then thrown at starving children in Gaza. Oh no thats called "right to exist and defend themselves". The hypocrisy is stunning.
I am late GenZ, we used to drink all day, every day from pumps on playgrounds and parks that were just unfiltered well water. Until they shut them down one by one. This was not a GenZ idea, this were Boomers and GenX trying to line their pockets with the "savings" these measures had.
Legends say that Boomers and GenX then complain about children not playing outside anymore.
If you blame GenZ or Alpha for how they have grown up in the society and environment you left them with it just reeks of the signature Boomer mentality to fuck everything up for everything but themselves and then blaming everyone else.
That might be on the higher end but I guess they dont use the lowest brightness tubes as they need to shine through the poster and also it accounts for the double sided-ness (at least in my area they are always double sided).
An ad like this uses about 1920W constantly, your phone uses about 10W when active and in use.
Lets say your city has 100k inhabitants and all use their phone right now than thats 1MW or about a 1/5 wind turbine. So you break even with 521 of these adverts.
While I can only see how they run ~100 of these ads for a city that size, we can also roughly estimate that people "only" have a screen on time that matches this figure. So yeah, they are roughly using the same amount of energy to display the ads compared to the problem they are trying to solve.
In a sane world they would use all the effort to build a single wind turbine and then shut the fuck up.
Yeah because Windows turned you all into tech-iliterate people and Linux is a good start into learning how to properly use a computer. Recently a Coworker approached me because she needed to move every photo from one folder to another and she has been dragging and dropping them all day but its just to many. While technically some Windows people know its possible with Windows cmd in a one-liner, most if not all Linux users will know the command in a heartbeat.
There is exactly one OS that improves the skills of its users just by using it.
Maybe if Windows and Mac users wont act like a bug stuck on its back once they encounter the slightest hint of a problem and start bothering the Linux guy with it, the Linux guy would be less condescending on their OS choice.

Reminds me of an article I read today:
On german Autobahn there are cool signs here and there about the region e.g. beautiful landmarks.
These signs used to cost 3000-4000€, but since Andreas Scheuer (think about him like a bitch for corporations) privatized the facility responsible for them, the cost has risen to 70000€ per sign and know it seems like they are getting abandoned.
Bin auch dafür, dass man das machen sollte, aber viele unterschätzen die Leistungen die mit modernen E-Autos abgezogen werden:
Für Schnellladen brauchst du ca. 200kW, diese Solarzellen haben 400W Peak das Stück, diese Peakzeit ist ungefähr = Schnellladedauer. Bei 8 Reihen in die Höhe brauchst du also ca. 62 Reihen in die Länge oder 500 einzelne Panele für das Schnellladen eines einzigen Autos in den besten Bedingungen.
In China ist man schon bei 1MW Peak-Ladeleistung.
Ladies, gentleman and everyone else: Thats the pro life party for ya
