  • Ich bin gut nen Monat nach dem Rest der Welt auch im Charlie xcx "Brat" Sommer angekommen, ist ein wirklich gutes Pop Album, das erste seit Lorde "Melodrama" was mich im Mainstream Pop wieder so richtig mitnimmt. Hab das jetzt auch schon bestimmt 50+ mal vollständig durch gehört und ist immer noch nicht langweilig.

    Einen Freund hat es anscheinend an Marina (and the diamonds) "The Family Jewels" erinnert auch durchaus sehr empfehlenswert.

    Also falls female vocalist pop euch theoretisch interessiert und ihr irgendwie noch nie von den dreien gehört habt hört mal rein.

  • What's your favorite kind of salad dressing?

    Jump

  • Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the not smooth kind of mustard, honey or syrup, onion, salt and pepper.

    Or mostly the same but swap mustard for chilli paste (gochujang or samba olek) and the olive oil for toasted sesame oil, maybe also swap to different vinegar but balsamic still works.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

    Jump

  • The good safety of nuclear in developed countries goes hand in hand with its costly regulatory environment, the risk for catastrophic breakdown of nuclear facilities is managed not by technically proficient design but by oversight and rules, which are expensive yes , but they also need to be because the people running the plant are it's weakest link in terms of safety.

    Now we are entering potentially decades of conflict and natural disaster and the proposition is to build energy infrastructure that is very centralized, relies on fuel that must be acquired, and is in the hands of a relatively small amount of people, especially if their societal controll/ oversight structure breaks down. It just doesn't seem particularly reasonable to me, especially considering lead times on these things, but nice meme I guess.

  • Most people in petrostates want quick switch to clean energy, UN poll finds | Largest ever climate survey also finds majority want countries to set aside differences to fight global heating

  • They will not devide us. They will not devide us and so on and so forth.

  • What is YOUR top 10 list of all time best video games?

    Jump

  • Separated into top 5 and the rest.

    • Slay the Spire
    • BeamNg
    • Trackmania (not any of the games specifically more the concept)
    • Disco Elysium
    • Portal 2

    • Balatro probably
    • FTL
    • Mario Kart (8 and/or Wii)
    • Maybe Baldus gate 3
    • Thalos principle 2

    The hearthstone battlegrounds auto battler mode is perhaps also in here but hearthstone itself I've never played.

    China puts trust in AI to maintain largest high-speed rail network on Earth

  • Also some application of similar tech has worked itself into industrial machines and factories over the last 10 years or so, it's downright ubiquitous for anything that's expensive and requires maintenance/ upkeep. Also it's well intertwined with the ML tech we see consumer facing nowadays, the image recognition of 4+ years ago was made to recognize issues with materials, unexpected growing patterns, anomalies, as well as recognition and counting etc.. before we got just point your camera and it'll tell you what you're looking at.

  • Yes, heat pumps slash emissions even if powered by a dirty grid | Installing a heat pump now is better for the climate, even on U.S. electricity generated mostly by fossil fuels. Here’s why

    Jump

  • The thing is heat from the outside gets moved inside of the house using a heat pump, and to facilitate this movement you need somewhere between 1/2 and 1/4 of the energy you end up moving. E.g. a heat pump with

    (coefficient of performance) of 4 would move 4kW of heat into your house and use 1kW of electric energy to accomplish this. Gas by comparison moves 4kW of gas to your house and burns it there to get 4kW of heat.

    So you could burn a bit more than 1kW of gas in a modern gas electric plant, turn it into electricity and use it to run a heat pump and you would end up emitting less CO2, the real world grid might skew that worse because generally you don't end up burning coal to heat housing but you might still use it for electricity. So generally even though it might be unintuitive the more complicated and lossy way to heat your home (the heat pump powered by fossil powered electricity) , is the more effective one compared to burning the same fossil fuel directly because you use the heat pump to capture heat from the environment.

  • Thousands protest as hunger grows amid Argentine austerity

    Jump

  • Both are abused by criminals and narcos and dictators

    Everything is subsumed and used by those hungry for power, and with the means to solidify it. That doesn't mean that the content of their claimed political thought doesn't have meaning, or that we can never conclude anything about humanity or its ideologies from looking at history, understanding theory, analyzing culture, power ...

    Maybe understand why people here seem 'extreme' left, instead of just writing nonsensical, and obviously bad faith or confused arguments.

  • Thousands protest as hunger grows amid Argentine austerity

    Jump

  • Because shock therapy has been done before, and the west is effectively at war with the result right now. Argentina might not be as bad but it's easy to assume when looking at the history of the policy that it makes everything worse except for foreign and local elites.

  • It begins: Ethiopia set to become first country to ban internal combustion cars | automobiles cannot enter Ethiopia, unless they are electric [Edit: Strong indications this is unreliable]

    Jump

  • The problem is obviously a general over reliance on motorized road transport and a continuing trend towards more.

  • Germany’s Coalition Government Reaches Final Deal On Marijuana Legalization Bill, With Vote Set For This Month

  • Brother US (and maybe the UK) made the propaganda and the systems of the world, they are gonna be very effective for their goals.

    Have you forgotten they are a superpower or something? They are the origin of that kind of red scare propaganda, and they always aimed most of it not at the inside but at everyone else.

    It's certainly a saying here in Europe that we do what the US does ten years later (or that we do what they tell us to do) and it's a saying because it's core is true.

  • Ethiopia set to become first country to ban internal combustion cars

    Jump

  • People don't need to be able to buy cars. The vast majority can't anyways. So why should the second richest percent of Ethiopia be able to.

  • YouTube now suggests new content by colour

    Jump

  • The not interested doesn't work, the don't recommend me videos from this channel works perfectly, and if the first video I get recommended of a channel is so repulsive to me I actually care to do something about it, the entire channel is probably bad anyways.

  • TIL the USA is the only country to not have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child

    Jump

  • The problem is that we need to for many reasons transition to an international order of democratic cooperation instead of economic and military domination. And if the US can never accept this kind of shared and cooperative approach foreign policy of everyone is going to be forever dragged towards this kind of zero sum bullshit we have at the moment. Even though it's obvious that foreign policy doesn't have to be zero sum.

    Even if other countries are potentially less honest with their implementation of global treaties, even a relatively slow movement there and maybe a more thorough movement in the US makes everyone better off.

    The only way to actually foster a cooperative relationship is to make yourself vulnerable, otherwise it's just coercion and power not cooperation. And yes if you get hurt too much maybe you'll have to leave again, but this pessimistic outlook from the get go is certainly never going to lead to the changes we obviously need.

    How do we solve things that require global attentio and accountability, like climate change, with an increasingly hostile and isolationist country calling the shots on decisions about global economic matters.

    Simply put if I want to live in a world somewhat resembling the current one in 60 years, American collapse or integration into global democracy is a necessity.

    Also calling a country that has been at war for 80+% of it's history a protector of global peace seems a bit questionable. Similarly I don't think anyone can conclusively say that the US has done more or less harm than good. But by that same nebulous metric shouldn't China hold that same title, as well as the Soviets, the British empire, the Spanish empire,the Romans ?

    I would expect almost everyone to feel more ambiguously about the later list than the US, but both the US and empires of the past are exactly what they've always been, a tool for those inside, especially the ones in power to increase their quality of life, while everyone outside gets to be exploited, integrated, subjected to rules that do harm, and be attacked, regime changed and so on. It's not actually the US that is a problem it's the US being a modern empire that's the problem.

    That the US tries to be a liberal democracy doesn't really lessen it's status as an empire, especially if the powers at be largely prevent it's people to decide against the status quo of domination.

    Almost by necessity the most powerful are the most harmful if there are no systems to prevent their harm, diffuse their power etc.
