I think when if it would have been evacuated in time there would still be news coverage

People just love reading and therefore clicking stories that tell them that electric cars are bad and they should just continue buying gas powered vehicles instead of considering a change

Same as with that tanker that burned out on the coast of the Netherlands with some EVs on board

A lot of stories where covering it in a way that implied the fire was because of those EVs when in the end the level where they were stored was among the very few that was still intact - but that didn’t make the news…

I mean the effects of climate engineering as pretty much impossible to predict completely. I’m not sure you can even rule out for sure that it’d effect Africa if they did some climate engineering in Alaska.

Even if you have most of the factors - with those kinds of things there’s always an off-chance that it interrupt bird migration and that fucks up something else and then suddenly it has an impact on air temperatures and a lot of stuff changes.

Relying on climate engineering instead of trying to prevent the catastrophe that’s coming is just stupid…

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)

I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate

Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.

Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.

So the appropriate reaction to what Hamas did would’ve been what exactly? Waving the white flag and rolling over?

I just wanted to make clear that if someone were to read this with malicious intentions to discredit this as not doing much for the climate at all that it’s not as easy as just looking at this simplified pie-chart

Kind of oversimplified when railways and public transport is grouped under infrastructure when it could as well be in the climate protection category

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

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

If Epic could actually provide a better service, they would be seeing customers and developers actually want to use their platform.

Doubt

Gog is objectively giving you more value for your money but even cdpr had to release the Gwent standalone on steam eventually because people didn’t buy it enough - once it was on steam it sold more than in a year on gog in weeks

People don’t look at the alternatives at all - unless it’s a AAA game with an exclusive deal

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
