  • Section 129 of the Criminal Code is colloquially coined as the anti-Mafia paragraph...

    Guess against whom it is never actually used. Hint the answer starts with criminal and ends with organisations.

  • Democrats are a rediculous clownshow on so many levels...

    Yet a "Democrats didn't believe that bombs send to Israel as a deterrence for their very real hostile neighbours are used against civilians instead"-headline would be more truthful.

    But hey. This way it's more "haha, democrats are comically insane". And as we all know by now the entertainment value is all that matters and that pesky truth should fuck off.

  • You are obviously not doing enough work with a full screen terminal being open... 😜

  • Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam's work on it.

    In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

    I will not pretend that there aren't games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that's new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up "reasons" about Linux' insecurity...).

  • I guess I'll look for some guys on the street to invite them to trash my place and then sue my landlord for providing an defective door... 🤣

  • Actually lots of areas in Europe tested fluoride in water locally at some point. But they never found convincing evidence of this being preferably to getting fluoride the "classic way" (personalized in small doses already included in toothpaste).

    Are USians not brushing their teeth? Or have they changed the toothpaste formulas to exclude fluoride, too, now?

  • Wouldn't it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies "looking for alternatives" was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?

  • No, but it will severely disrupt golabl trade and make everything more expensive so you don't think about eggs anymore.

  • Because it's a two-part ting. Being popular enough and finding a maintainer (from them limited pool of official maintainers there are) who does it.

    The AUR is unofficial and no one cares much if updates are delayed there but the offcial repositiories have higher standards and -and that's related to the list of browsers also not in the official repos- maintaining google-based browsers is a pain in the ass (in fact I'm used to seeing warnings because librewolf is once again flagged aus out-of-date but the AUR maintainer didn't have the time to fix the latest build yet).

  • Sorry to tell you, but no one is ever on the wrong side of history.

    It just gets written like that by the side that won later...

  • If someone can't believe that the freshly appointed DOGE head is already on vacation, then they probably also can't understand that DOGE doesn't actually do real work or that they are just a front for an operation to disassemble US democratic institutions...

    ... sounds like a fun ride to work in the media but with no clue what's going on.

  • How to recognize the flag of Greenland:

    If Poland and Monaco had a baby...

  • The one has more military might then the 31, and it’s not close.

    And the source is the same media that also tells you fairy tales about how the US can't afford health care because they need to spend money on their MIC Europe...

  • That's not even the whole story... He also told European governments to embrace far-right MAGA style populists.

    If they could jsut fuck off silently and keep their insanity contained in the US this would already be an improvment.

  • There are basically two viable options:

    Renewables plus short-term storage (for ~6 hours, which is enough to shift production peak to demand peak) plus long term storage would be one.

    The other is renewables plus nuclear and long term storage. Here you can get by -compared to a fully renewable model- with less renewables (although that part is financially speaking neraly irrelevant) and slightly less long-term storage. Nuclear base-load mostly eliminates the need for short-term storage and makes power-to-gas as long-term storage more efficient (electrolysers work much better economically when you can have them run most of the time, instead of needing a lot to use up peak overproduction while not running the rest of the day).

    If you want to look at numbers (and different models) there's a big study of France' grid provider (from end of 2021 I think) about nuclear power models by 2050. And they assume roughly (they modelled more or less nuclear) 35% nuclear / 65% renewables.

    Also we can assume a demand increase for electricity by a factor of ~2,5 when industry, heating (where it didn't already happen) and transport is electrified to get CO₂-neutral. So if you are going the nuclear route you would need (on top of a lot of renewables) nuclear capacities of more than 80% of today's demand (80% / 2,5 = 32%...).

    Also if you don't already have high nuclear capacities available already you need to start building en masse preferably yesterday. Because to meet already agreed upon climate goals starting slowly now and burning a lot of fossil fuels for another 20 years until newly build reactors are ready will not work out.

    And now compare this with reality: Basically every country talking about nuclear plans is still in some early planning phase, none of them are planning sufficient capacities and a lot of them are also still stuck in some imaginary and nonsensical nuclear vs. renewable discussion.

    So to answer your question... He ist right because you either plan a sufficient amount of reactors right now or you don't plan any at all. And if you can't realistically pay the upfronted cost of a massive nuclear build-up right now, then that's a reason not to do it. But building just a reactor (or 3) to pretend that it will reduce CO₂ quickly until you have a better solution or can afford to build more reactors is just stupid bullshit. That's what a renewable upbuild is for, that actually helps reduce emissions within years, not in a decade or more when a nuclear power plant is build.

  • And he is right. But as nuclear is a scam not meant to solve anything and is just used as a distraction to spend years "planning" totally insufficient capacities at high costs so some lobbyist friends can burn fossil fuels longer, it won't happen. Just like in bascially every other European country telling the fairy tale of some nuclear solution.

  • He only thinks it was a "mistake" because he (at least publically) believes that Trump is working in the interest of NATO, Ukraine or the Western world and isn't working for Russia.

  • The left one is more coke specific matching the plastic bottles. It's also much more lightweight.

    But the center one is basically used in very little variation but color and print for most glas bottles.

  • Is the middle one a straight up milk crate type quality?

    😂 How would I know?

    Milk usually comes in water-proofed carton boxes:

    Jokes aside... probably yes. Although the last time I saw crates of milk was in school in the early 1990s. But I think all those crates are basically identical.

    Do you have (imported) beer in such crates? Then you should be able to compare them yourself as beer is usually produced locally at the traditional brewery and then shipped globally, original bottles and crates often included.
