  • I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn't want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|

  • Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

    We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won't ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn't matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.

  • Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:

    • People don't want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
    • It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
    • It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
    • By slippery slope, it's going to lead to the same for every profession.

    So it's an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.

  • Somebody listened to this and can tell me what his rationale was? The unspoken reason is probably like less taxation for the rich and profit in the medical industry, but what are the "sensible" arguments he would be brave enough to formulate in public at the time? If it's about medical research and innovation, it could be assured by the government but "it's not the job of the state to ensure the people's well-being"? Or "people will get lazy if their health is not on the line"?

  • I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

  • French elections: Left projected to win most seats, ahead of Macron's coalition and far right

    Jump

  • That's an overall accurate analysis, but more leftists have dropped out than centrists. A number of centrists refused to drop out, leading to far right seats rather than leftists.

  • Exclusive: Majority Of Voters Want Next Government To Take UK Back Into European Union

    Jump

  • [..] 43% in favour of rejoining the bloc, compared with 40% who want to stay out. But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it [...]

    That's not a "majority of voters", that's a "majority of people who report to know what they want". These are not the same populations.
