The problem is that if a country treats money as unlimited and without a cost then inflation will mirror that and people in that country will lose their savings, their job will not pay for their bills anymore and so on

It’s not as simple as “just spend more”…

The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.

Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time

I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables

If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further

Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry

I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)

It weighs more and definitely could use a lot less space on the road and costume less fuel if it didn’t grow to this size but stayed small and with less weight

And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now

Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong

So no USP any more?

Yeah they are not part of the very expensive luxury lineup for sure - but their point of sale is pretty similar imho

Boss, LV, Gucci - all those “Luxus” brands tbh.

Their only selling factor is that they are too expensive for really poor people to buy.

Their quality is medium at best

Yeah - but the situation there is literally the same as with all the other launchers besides GOG

For some reason steam just has a huge fanclub that doesn’t accept any kind of criticism

Interesting that it’s not the steam logo used for that meme…

SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

Cheaper in the long run perhaps - but how expensive is it to build?

Atomic energy is only “cheap” since the cost for the power plants is heavily paid for by tax money. For the cost of one power station you could cover a huge amount of land with solar panels.

The freedom of one person ends where it starts limiting the freedom of another person

Unlimited freedom of speech just means that it’s possible to verbally deny a group of people a place in society either by lying about them or by just ignoring their existence - and both are limiting that person’s freedom - not just their freedom of speech.

I really don’t understand how Americans don’t seem to understand that one person’s freedom should end when it limits the freedom of another person - and if it doesn’t then it’s just the stronger/more forceful one pushing the weaker/more defensive one into a corner.

This was clear extrajudicial punishment

I think it’s great how Americans mistrust the police so they live vigilantes but apparently the police also wants to play vigilante even though they would be in the perfect position to ensure that vigilantism isn’t needed.

Because Isis being able to attack inside Russia paints him as weak and doesn’t even give the option to retaliate.

If you spin it so Ukraine is behind it you can at least count on more people supporting the war against them

Didn’t a lot of western countries warn their citizens to not attend any public gatherings in Moscow a couple of weeks ago due to an imminent Isis attack?

Especially with those with 1000s of subscribers - how are people fooling themselves into thinking that they don’t have someone answering their messages for them?

Some of the most popular ones have whole crews for filming - why should social media be something they do on their own?

I kind of get it for the ones with few subscribers though

And he was best buddies with Trump

But for some reason people that claim to be pro Palestine very often seem to be anti biden…

I get updates every other week

but I think it’s in a weird spot with not having regular English patchnotes - and afaik they also use an older rendering-engine

Vivaldi is the best!

Currently trying out Floorp as a Firefox fork for the possibility that Google’s disabling of adblockers in the manifest will make it impossible to use chromium browsers which is kind of good, too

But Vivaldi rules as long as chromium is an option!
