Fossil fuels are killing this planet before your very eyes.

And the only way to save it is nuclear power? Every thread about this topic makes it look this way.

Thing is: Fossil fuels are killing our planet NOW. Spending 10+ years to build a new state-of-the-art nuclear power plant is simply too slow. Just take the money and dump it into technology that's already available at short notice: Solar, wind, geothermal and tons and tons of battery storage. I'm not sure about the situation in other countries, but here in Germany there isn't even a permanent storage site for the nuclear waste we ALREADY produced let alone one for which we'd produce in the future.

Additional factor for not going nuclear in Europe: Do you know which country exports the most fissile material around us? It starts with an R and ends with ussia.

Well, of course Mutti is. But Mutti also represents 16 years of political standstill which is not so cool.

If it worked once ...

Nope, wild garlic is not garlic just grown outside of gardens.

Garlic is a tuber while wild garlic is a leafy plant which just happens to smell a lot like garlic.

Nah, we just put a lid on the shit bucket, and now it's overflowing.

Germany checking in: He shouldn't throw stones sitting in a glass house.

It's a crucial choke point to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific for any sort of ship, which includes warships. Compare it to the importance of the Bosporus Straight and multiply by 100.

They should ask the Swiss for their expertise as they had rigged most of their border bridges for decades.

That really is ancient in terms of the internet! Thanks for checking.

Well, that must be waaaaaaay back then. I've been using Signal for quite a while now, and I am not sure what you mean then.

End badly for whom? Everage Joe? Every time yeah. For the guys on top? Only if they get opposed by a worldwide coalition.

Also I believe they used to have federation but all evidence of this seems to have been wiped from the internet.

They never had.

The talk about federation originated when the EU demanded interoperability from gatekeeper software i.e. Whatsapp. Signal said on day one they wouldn't do from their end because it would mean lowering security.

Now hold my beer for a sec, but isn't the IRC a NGO?

There is a difference between lying and believing.

We know that plants have evolved along every other living being on this planet. Yet for an ancient farmer sowing their field, asking "who or what sowed everything else around me", the assumption of some godlike original farmer being is reasonable. So, believe in and of itself is not immoral. Believe contrary to better knowledge is.

Depends.

There are phenomena we can't explain. So there is room in reality for things beyond our understanding, which traditionally are filled with myth and believe. However, I agree given that for basically every claim religion has put forth science has been able to demonstrate non-supernatural causes, it only seems logical to assume that this will still be the case further down the line.

IMHO Debian and Ubuntu should be swapped: swapped:

Debian as the serious guy, that's doing the hard work under the hood while the flashy Ubuntu gets the credit for being popular.

Do not under any circumstances cut into these cylinders with power tools.

They might not contain enough propane to be useful to you, but there might very well be enough in there to mess you up.

Brother of a friend wanted to turn an supposedly empty oil barrel into an outdoor heater. The residual fumes were enough to cause an explosion large enough to fracture his skull and put him into a coma for multiple weeks.

Every day we stray further from the light …
