You seem to be unacquainted with the Guardia Civil, which is more like a military force to suppress the local population.

Police everywhere is bad, but there are definitely different levels of bad.

Ugh, a 47m deep cave with no special technical diving equipment is reckless to say the least.

Beim Gesamtsystem hofft man auf den zuverlässigen Support des Heizungsbauers. All-in-one-super-sorglos-Paket.

Du glaubst auch an den Weihnachtsmann oder? 🎅

Because it was never properly de-fascisized and is still full of cryptofascists. You don’t need to look any further than the Guardia Civil, the paramilitary “police”.

Spain is a clear lesson that you can’t transition out of fascism. You need a clear cut, at least like what happend in Portugal.

Yes, that is half a century, and no, explanding their life time is irresponsible from a safety standpoint as any operator will tell you. At most you can add new reactor blocks and decomission the old ones. Furthermore it is also uneconomic to operate vintage npps as necessary repairs become much more expensive.

And no, investing into white elephants that don’t produce any electricity for at least 15 years does not help with climate change. It is actively harmful, as during that time the fossile fuel plants continue to operate, while necassary investments into the grid and renewables can’t be done because all the money is stuck with building prohibitively expensive npps.

The current modern ones under construction or recently completed in the west are also prohibitively expensive.

China might have some scale advantages right now, but most likely it is just shoddy construction like how the French build their reactors cheaply in the 1970/80ties, which over their lifetime ended up being more expensive because of all the costly repairs that constantly have to be done.

Nuclear fission is a dead horse, and anyone investing in that right now is building white elephants.

Maybe fusion will turn out different but for the time being the best is to invest in renewables and grid extension.

Because nuclear makes no economic sense 🤷

Germany closed half a century old plants that were over or close to their maximum design lifespan.

France is still having Russia of all places process a large part of the needed uranium 🙄 And the nuclear power plants are causing huge debts for the operators.

In combination with enough renewables distributed over Europe yes.

It’s not a big deal, but a single user instance has some issues with discoverability as it will only show communities you personally have subscribed to.

Fern trees are the best 👍

A bit hypocritical to think nuclear could prevent that when it takes 15 years under optimal conditions to build a reactor.

Other parts of Europe that have wind and battery storage. That isn’t rocket science and improving the grid makes way more sense and is cheaper than building white elephant nuclear reactors (that will not be online before way into the 2040ties anyways).

Dumb question if the modem is removed, why need to remove the GPS?

The article says that while not needed, it helped with some bugs when using a phone as the navigation device.

GPS doesn’t phone home by itself. The OP article also explaines that they only removed the GPS because of buggy behaviour in combination with using a phone GPS.

Can you please write English? No idea what you are talking about.

The best place to start is https://joinjabber.org/ (Jabber is another name for XMPP).

The apps for Android are free on F-Droid.

Hijacking your own thread is new, I give you that 🤷

It is not a bad series by all means, but imagine the robot being a golem and nothing else changed… it really is more of a fantasy book IMHO.

I wonder if she plans to get back into writing “real” Sci-fi some more. The Monk and Robot series is nice, but IMHO the Wayfarer series was better. Maybe something based on earth in the not that far far future would be cool as well?

My favorite book of hers is “Record of a Spaceborn Few” 👍
