It is the opposite. Nuclear shills don’t base their opinion on facts, they would rather hope for a miracle solution that is, when viewed rationally, complete nonsense. Apart from the extremely toxic waste for which we have not found geological structures stable enough to prevent it from leaking, building nuclear power plants is a really CO2-intensive process, especially with regard to all the concrete involved. The most pressing issue, however, is the fuel. What do you think nuclear reactors generate power with? Lots of air and goodwill? Entire regions have to be dug up for Uranium, of which useful isotopes then have to be enriched before they can be used economically in reactors. Furthermore, uranium is even less abundant in the Earth than oil and natural gas. If we would adopt nuclear power generation at large scale world-wide, we would deplete our scarce uranium probably in a few decades, long before oil. So we’re just substituting one problem for another with nuclear energy. It isn’t sustainable and renewable because at some point shortly after adoption, the fuel would run out.

It is also not the norm for small business owners, so what is your point?

Love that film. One of my favourites

Not the full story, but it is true, podman is definitely more aligned with the free and open-source software philosophy.

I am sure that Europe was “too small to be an adversary” during the Boxer Rebellion too wink

Also most strikes on people are not direct strikes

That’s the very reason why it is indeed helpful to crouch when there is no safety nearby. Putting your feet close together reduces the step voltage (the voltage across your feet), making it less likely that a deadly current flows through your heart when there are strong potentials on the ground.

The idea of the crouch is not really to be shorter than surrounding structures (maybe that is a minor aspect), but rather to reduce the step voltage (the voltage between your two feet). If you have only one point where you touch the ground, as you do when your feet are very close together, the risk of deadly currents passing through your body is minimised. This will of course not help you when the lightning strikes you directly, but that is not the most common case anyway. People usually die from the large current passing by their heart when they stand next to a lightning strike, and there is a distribution of electric potential across the ground. This is not a myth and not debunked. It’s just a matter of priorities. If there is safety nearby, you should obviously seek it out. If not, however, then to crouch is the best thing you can do.

I agree with you. Regardless of the state of the world, we should stay optimistic and work toward that goal, instead of surrendering to defeatism.

And you are stupid for not acknowledging that people from other countries are not just useless consumers without any agency. Americans and Europeans have industry too, and very productive ones. The narrative that you can trace any product back to China is entirely wrong and reeks of tankie.

Would not be so sure about that. Running is our specialty, especially with regard to endurance. A properly trained dog vs. a properly trained marathon runner would probably be an even match.

Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

Die Kommentare beweisen mal wieder, dass Linkswähler keine Ahnung von Wirtschaft, Geopolitik, Sicherheit und Gerechtigkeit haben, und die Zukunft des Landes ideologisch verspielen würden, wenn sie könnten. Wenn ihr wirklich bedeutenden progressiven Wandel von echter Zukunftsfähigkeit herbei bringen wollt, ohne SPD zu wählen, dann wählt Grün. Linkspartei ist eine weggeworfene Stimme für eine Partei voll von Ex-SED-Funktionären, mit der sowieso niemals jemand koalieren wollen wird. Die Linkswähler sind leider der Grund dafür, warum wir bei dieser Bundestagswahl keine starke grüne Partei bekommen haben. Ähnlich wie die Drittparteienwähler in den USA.

Omg this looks so good, sadly the food in German ICEs is not this colourful :(

Pretty sure that this commenter makes use of a lot of irony. See their post history.

All of this is confusing af

Does “European-built” mean a strict “manufactured in the EU” or do European brands in general count? In the latter case, Philips would obviously come to mind, co-inventors of the CD. They made quite high-quality CD players as far as I know. But I don’t know where they were produced.

Can you not just run the curl or wget without piping it into bash, first? This way you could inspect what the script wants to do.

Weirdly militant “meme”. The people that write these are some of the most annoying on the planet, and contribute nothing to actually solving problems.

Maybe they mean every single silicon component on all of the boards. I can imagine that cars need lots of diodes and discrete transistors and such. But computer-wise, thousands would really be excessive.

Properly SLAMMED
