Why’s that? I drove a Cupra Born last week, pretty decent imo. I also drove a VW ID3 and a BMW i3. So far the only European EV I didn’t like was the Audi e-tron. I haven’t driven a Korean or Chinese EV yet, so I can’t really compare. What do you prefer about them?

Why the fuck would you make this about the US? Or Iran?

“The massacre in the vicinity of, but not directly on Tiananmen Square” doesn’t have the same ring to it. The concrete location might also not matter that much in the grand scheme of things

They played in the US?

Well, then it’s crown princess

That would mean getting rid of carry-on and deploying emergency chutes every time which costs 10s of thousands to replace each time and grounds the plane for weeks. Makes sense.

So, all Germans are you fucking racist?

We might need a car at some point in the next 12 months, that’s why I look online from time to time for a used BEV to get a feeling how much money we will need. I had the feeling that ID4s usually lose more value over time than ID3s, but I didn’t analyse it much further than that. Roughly, the numbers I saw were new ones are 30k€ for an ID3 and 40k€ for an ID4 while you apparently can get both used for 20k€.

What’s your opinion on used ID4s from 2021ish? Used ones are surprisingly cheap to get and I’m a little unsure why that is

You can’t just build a hotel in a residential area, that usually goes against zoning laws which Airbnb circumvents

The shadows are on the move. The question is not how do we stop them, the question is what do we want?

I was against shutting down already written off power plants early while coal power plants were still running. I was in favor of shutting down coal first, yes.

Geothermal energy is possible anywhere but not economical everywhere. Building wind and PV and building infrastructure to save the energy is more economical in many cases.

it’s okay in some amounts since you’re getting radiation doses every day even not living near anything nuclear).

And people get cancer every day. I don’t share their argument that NPPs in normal operation are a risk, but OP is somewhat right, there’s no safe radiation dose, just one we deem safe enough mainly because it doesn’t significantly raise our risk of cancer compared to the natural exposure. And NPPs in normal operation emit less radiation than for example coal fire plants.

FFS, people are stupid.

There was a huge hysteria about nuclear when Fukushima happened. A clear majority was for immediate action. Merkel’s coalition government would have ended if she hadn’t done a 180 on nuclear and decided to shut down nuclear as soon as possible, which was 2023. I was against shutting it down back then but I thought you can’t go against the whole population, so I get why they did it. People didn’t change their mind until 2022. Nobody talked about reversing that decision in all these years when there was actually time to reverse the decision.

Now, that the last reactor is shut down, the same people that were up in arms in 2011 are now up in arms that we don’t have nuclear. Building new plants will cost billions and take decades and nuclear doesn’t work well with renewables because of its inflexibility. It makes no sense at all. It was a long-term decision we can’t just back away from. What’s done is done.

Well, it’s not broccoli

To be fair, Jeffrey Combs played every second alien in Star Trek, Wayne Alexander every second alien in Babylon 5, but: Jeffrey Combs was also in B5, Wayne Alexander never in Star Trek

Yep, absolutely, it’s not even a contest
