They are center right and in some cases not so center

Our “socialist party” is center left. Again the name isn’t 100% correct

Historically incumbent presidents always have the upper hand.

Why the fuck would he off himself just before I can actually testify against Boeing?? If he hadn’t managed to get the case to court or even after he had testified then I could see it, but this timing is suspicious AF. He could have died naturally and it’s just super bad timing but ain’t no way he killed himself at this point in time.

Apple makes some really stupid products that they charge ridiculous money for and their usual stuff is more expensive than it needs to be but at least their core products are of very good quality. The same cannot be said of Tesla

Really? I’m reading Red Mars and while it’s interesting af it’s kinda hard to get through it.

I like that it’s very clearly well thought out, and he goes into detail on so many things that I wouldn’t even consider, but sometimes it feels like I’m reading Wikipedia and not an actual novel. If that makes any sense.

If you liked the Martian you will love that one. I 100% recommend it

Watching in Switzerland but I have my account in English

Maybe that’s why.

With F1 TV you can yes

For me it’s even the default. Surprised it isn’t for you.

The downside is that their audio is super low so in races like this I almost fall asleep. Sometimes I switch to the Sky broadcast because it’s a bit more hyped up but then they drool all over Russell and the like and I switch back.

For FPs and qualis their broadcast is the best. Or on races with interruptions. You get quality segments instead of ads.

Every race is still a crazy thing. A touch here or an engine blow up there and he doesn’t win. Perfectly normal.

Seems like it will be the same as last year

We’re talking about Portugal here, not Poland. But yes they won’t win. It’s still problematic

Mate, far right parties, especially in Portugal want anything but debate. Their whole message is to pollute discussion and make the extremes normal.

A lot of people vote for them as protest but also a lot of people like their racist, fascist rethoric and goals. This is not a “them poor misunderstood far right parties”.

Fortunately no party is collaborating with them so their biggest impact is making sure that a right government can’t really govern.

That being said, every party has their blame in this by not solving problems or improving people’s lives as much as they should have. Another way to fight this is by having proper alternatives that people believe in but that’s easier said than done.

Im saying we should not tolerate fascism because those people do not respect our culture, values and traditions. So I definitely agree that we should kick them out.

I agree

We should not tolerate fascism.

In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker cited his religious beliefs and quoted the Bible to support the stance.

"Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself," Parker wrote. "Even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory."

wtf

I mean.. do you trust that they won’t?

They probably will as soon as they can without significant losses.

They don’t require high internet speed at all. Why do you say that? You have to keep up with the network that creates a couple MBs of data every 10mins. That’s it. You need processing power and as such electricity but none of that requires high speed internet, quite the contrary. You can get away with a mobile data in most places.

I’ve read different stories. Of towns where cheap and renewable electricity can be made but it’s financially not viable especially at the start. So Bitcoin miners were used to sell the excess energy and that made the project possible. In a way something like Bitcoin can create a global price/demand for electricity which can have its advantages like I mentioned or disadvantages like you mentioned.

The thing that everyone misses in these comparisons is that yes that’s the energy that VISA expended to make these transactions but for a crypto currency the energy use isn’t even to make the transaction. In the end each transaction is a few Bytes of data that have no difficulty getting across the world (much like this post or any comment). The energy use is so “high” because that’s is used to secure the currency. And of course that’s a much harder comparison to make but a fairer one.

How much energy does the the banking system actually use? How much energy is used to secure the US dollar for example?

You have to account for the entirety of it. That’s like saying that F1 doesn’t pollute all that much because they use bio fuel and the cars are very energy efficient, completely disregarding the fact that the majority of the pollution is in the constant global shipping of cars and gear, as well as R & D

Don’t forget the misogynistic and racist component of his comment.
