And it’s 100% in accordance with international law.

Would be nice to be able to pick out individual source polluters for a range of substances

We can already do that today with inverse modeling of atmospheric substance transport and the satellites you mentioned. Heard a talk about the topic on a conference 4 years ago. That’s how scientists could pinpoint the emission source for some illegally emmitted CFCs in China (and afaik the Chinese govt acted accordingly). With high resolution data you can also use these methods to detect methane leaks in gas pipelines etc.

+1 for such an extensive, well-founded rant

Interesting read. The statements by SJP are really disgusting and the Maoist revolutionary rethoric is repulsive to say the least.

Fuck Hamas, enemy of palestinians.

Ironic that the Helvetii fought the Romans only for their descendants to use a Latin abbreviation as their country code :D

Payback is fair? Even though these very digital megacorporations are just now facing antitrust lawsuits for very good reasons? The only argument for having to use these platforms as a content creator is reach. But if Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. only got their market-dominating positions by illegal means, nothing is fair about wanting payback.

I am paying money to people creating content for me directly, even for some YouTube channels. If I were to abide by Google’s rules, I’d have to pay double. For the infrastructure & the people actually producing the content. Sorry… Why would I? I will not pity a monopolist because of their lost profits as long as I can circumvent it somehow.

Still makes much more sense to build buildings or furniture from wood than to just burn it for heating and claim it’s a renewable energy source… With buildings you will at least be sure to keep that carbon out of the atmosphere for a longer period.

He knows that he’ll lose power once that war ends. He will prolong it as long as he can. Of course he doesn’t care about the lifes of his own people, never did.

My experience in a community-supported agriculture is that it’s hard to plan ahead. In wet years we will harvest lots of pumpkins but fewer tomatoes (crops are not protected) and in dry years it’s vice verca. And the years do become more extreme regarding temperature and precipitation.

But I think in the future we will try to grow new crops that are better adapted to arid conditions like soybean.

We have all kinds in my city: Medieval cobblestone, brick roads and asphalt. As a cyclist I have to tell you that I hate all kinds of brick roads that I have encountered. Even when they’re not the horrible middle age version, they will often get deformed by roots or depression of the ground quite rapidly, making them even more bumpy. For this reason I think, I saw in Sweden in an otherwise bricky city center that they had a narrow asphalt lane on the side of the road for cyclists. I was just amazed that someone would spend that much thought into what’s great for cyclists. As a cyclist I really love asphalt :D

But the whole meme is pointless. Seems like calling out that these people shouldn’t have been allowed to be part of a new society after the nazi state was destroyed. It’s not that easy no matter how much people like to draw history and the world as a whole as black and white.

For example Hallstein: He was never a member of the NSDAP. Yes, he fought in WW2 for the Germans but after the war he was a leading figure in the new democratic German academia and afterwards worked towards having Germany integrated into international institutions.

For anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to punish every last one who was part of a criminal, even cruel and inhumane movement: Look at Iraq. So many people who were part of Saddams party, even teachers, bureaucrats and whatnot… They where mostly expelled from society and a potential rehabilitation. And the direct consequence of these actions was the formation of ISIS because these people didn’t have a perspective in the new state and society. So being very consequential, as all things, can have very unforeseen (but actually quite forseeable) consequences.

Lol thats literally what I say to the flies. But my death/hit ratio is probably 0.3.

Great article, found it a very interesting read.

Thank you so much. This inspires me to also revive my classic one day when I have the time for it. I still use it every now and then but the battery life has of course gone down. Didn’t know that iPod modding was a thing, hahaha.

Totally right. And I’ll leave this shithole country as soon as I have the means to do it. One of the most backwards nations in Europe in some crucial aspects. Always has been, sadly.

Lol, of course they are. I’ll be glad watching these morons suffer in the nursing home once they’re old. There won’t be enough people around to wipe their asses or shower them.

And I’m including all the old, politically illiterate people who are dumb enough to cast their vote for these parties every single time, notwithstanding the fact that these parties are always betraying their very own interests.

Why?

Corn me up snake
