  • UK judge cast doubt on the existence of climate crisis

    Jump

  • Well, their repression by jailing people for stating the fact that there is a climate crisis in court, is absolutely relevant. The consequence here in a state of law would be to remove these judges from these trials and deligate them to rule on topics, where they are not biased, e.g. parking tickets or something. If they continue to accumulate biased topics, where they cannot be considered impartial judges, then they need to be removed from that office.

  • European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

    Jump

  • Thank you. That seems more reasonable. E.g. the key principle being a strict seperation between safety/general car control and functions like entertainment, both in the user interface and in the computer/routing between interface and physical realisation.

  • European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

  • everything controling something related to driving safety (windshield wipers, turn signals, lights..) should be mandated by law to have a physical control. Also the control must not be routed to any control computer, that is not exclusively dedicated to that control.

  • Krieg: Scholz: „Ich bin der Kanzler, und deshalb gilt das”

    Jump

  • If Scholz would only take this kind of stance "i am the chancellor, as a leader my word is the last" when it comes to actually governing in the country, resolving disputes in his government and getting the "liberal" party back in line, so they follow through on agreements they made, instead of blocking national and european legislation last minute. Germany currently is the laughing stock of Europe, getting us the so called "German Vote" for our unreliability in european legislation.

    That is where a last word authority is needed. To get your government to do shit. Not to hide behind false excuses for not doing something.

  • Swiss vote to give themselves a bigger pension

    Jump

  • Switzerland is also the last european country to have granted women the right to vote on the federal level in 1971 with the last state to grant women's voting rights in 1990. At the same time Switzerland already had the best or second best HDI in the world.

    The metric is entirely unrelated to democratic values, political culture or political education.

  • Welcome to the gerontocracy. The demographic failure of democracy, as an ageing population has the power to vote for consuming the country instead of investing in its long term stability.

  • Heyyy its your super duper new project manager! I hope you are feeling a-mazing because you are my a-ce on the team. Anyways i need you to do things twice as fast, because we are running low on budget after sales promised another feature without extra billing and the CEO already signed off on it. Please make this happen somehow. If this project isn't succesfull i'll get fired and have to sell the house. But no pressure!

  • Germany's Scholz vows probe into 'very serious' leak of army talks on Ukraine war

    Jump

  • I wonder if this was done now to distract from Scholz publicly talking about those systems in a way that accused France and the UK of direct participation in the war.

  • So it is to double down on Northern Ireland unionism? That is a great idea. Now they also show openly, that NI is just an english colony, aiming to fuck over the Irish. The sooner Ireland becomes one nation the better. Then the "unionists" can see, how much their beloved kingdom actually loves them.

  • Activists occupy German forest to block Tesla expansion

    Jump

  • Story time: The main fight around the environmental impact is the groundwater. Initial designs of Tesla planned to use up to 6.000.000 m³ a year. As it comes from their own wells, it is free of charge. Under about a year of pressure, they got such crazy ideas, like actually recycling some of the water they use, cutting their planned usage in half.

    A peak moment was Elon manically laughing and saying there is enough water in the region in an interview at the construction site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye8zcgxWMDc During this time the region was in the third year of an extreme drought.

    Drought map Germany 0-2m

    Last year the local muncipal collective water company WSE (multiple muncipalities form a single muncipal company for water and wastewater) denied all permit for future development of housing, buildings, schools etc. as the budgeted ground water extraction is fully taken by Tesla. This lead to an attempt of some muncipal majors to topple the CEO and CFO of the muncipal company WSE which luckily failed.

    Aside from the concerns about the total available water and the impact on the ground water table, another big issue are pollutants in the ground. There is a bubble of phenols from a former industrial site nearby. all the water plants around need to balance their water extraction to the bubble remains in place and isn't sucked into the groundwater table. For this there is also extensive pollutant monitoring at the wells in the region. Tesla denies the water company to get the data about pollutants that they measure at their own wells.

    While the state government of Brandenburg is very lenient towards Tesla, having looked past multiple issues during the permit process, the water company and local people are fighting furiously to have these issues uncovered and discussed. The muncipalities are divided as seen in the failed attempt to kick out the CEO and CFO. While some of the local protest is classical NIMBYs most ist genuine concern about the impacts of the factory. As can be seen by the change in design, adressing issues early and providing a comprehensive strategy to make the plant possible, could have prevented much of the bad blood, but the state government and Tesla were eager to push through, no matter the costs.

    Final remark: If the ground water table gets fucked with the pollutants mentioned earlier, this could affect water plants in Berlin, that provide drinking water to about a million people. It should be obvious that the only way to act here is in transparency and good faith, which so far was not in the interest of Tesla or the government of the state of Brandenburg.

  • Macron stands by remarks about sending troops to Ukraine

  • While i share you criticism for "liberal" (particular in the American sense) warlust in general, we cannot look at the current situation without acknowledging the russian agression. And Putin is most certainly not a liberal.

    The spillage of blood is a valid criticism in so far, that the West was reluctant to support Ukraine properly, only tossing lifeline after lifeline, dragging the war out.

  • Problem is that for every Russian bot to entice such topics there was ten coneervative and far right politicians happy to jump on the bandwagon and ten thousand voters to toss away all actual issues for that.

    You cannot turn a population into a certain direction, if it doesnt want to be turned that way.

  • Russia’s economy is now completely driven by the war in Ukraine – it cannot afford to lose, but nor can it afford to win

    Jump

  • but rather by weather, which meets the same condition as you describe for Ukraine.

    Climate zones:

    Precipitation:

    Soil quality:

    You are right that Russia has about a similiar sized good quality land to the east/north east of Ukraine in terms of climate,precipitation and soil quality. That would still be a huge strategic improvement, independant from development of the land. You are also right that Russia has ports at the Black Sea already. It is not about just what you have, it is also about what others wouldn't have.

    We see the same thing in reverse with the NordStream pipelines. The Gas could have been continued to be transported through Ukraine and Poland just fine. But by building around them, Germany and Russia could deny a share of the cake to them, which of course they were strongly opposed to, like most other European countries and the US were too.

    Most of Russia is pretty poor farm land otherwise:

    Germany often sees reckless driving compared to its neighbouring countries in similair road conditions. Lack of enforcement and small penalties do play an imporant role in that. The infrastructure is similiar, but other countries actually enforce things like speed limits much more actively. At the end of the day if bad driving equals unsafe driving, the person shouldnt drive.
