In fairness to him, the number of people killed by police is rising and there are nazi cops. Still, can’t pull the trigger in Germany without an investigation and nazis can/do get kicked out of the police just for being one

Don’t you hate on donkeys! They are an excellent mean of transportation on tough terrain. I don’t know in what context russia uses them, but the US do so too :D

Love how this is downvoted only for another thread to come to pretty much the same conclusion lol

They had a luxurious outing in some big-oil palace. It’s hard work man, they had to literally, very briefly, walk through the desert

I hate the CxU as much as anyone else, but as far as my understanding goes, and in fairness to them, the 5-year plan is still more generous than what most other countries offer

According to whom? Russia?

So supporting far-right narratives and being blatantly populistic only to then backtrack on a lot they have said doesn’t seem to work out for the conservatives? Wow, colour me surprised, no one could have seen this coming, my flabber is totally gasted

The problem is that it’s not as profitable as renewables. If you push this, it will be at the cost of those.

It’s more expensive than the alternatives, and comes with additional downsides. There is no good reason to be pro nuclear, unless you need a lot of power for a long time in a tight space. So a ship or a space station for example.

Which outlines why you don’t do majority-vote politics. There is zero interest by private entities to restart nuclear in Germany. Why? Because it makes zero sense.

No one wants to front the money, no one wants to buy overpriced nuclear power, no one wants the waste, no one wants a responsibility for decades and I bet you, if you asked the people on the poll whether they want to live near a plant or waste facility, almost everyone is going to say no.

The sole reason for (modern) nuclear power is high reliability at very low emissions and much energy per space. You know what can also do this? A battery.

If you want to install state-of-the-art molten salt SMRs as high-reliability baseline supply for network infrastructure and hospitals, go for it. But don’t try to sell me a super expensive water boiler as miracle technology.

Electromagnetic catapults are a “least concern” technology I would say, but that aside, currently our defence industries are intertwined. Thinking the EU is fully dependent on the US is delusional.

People are about to find out that even when the US often leads the way, there are also EU companies critical to US weapon systems.

Sure, you can “DIY” everything, but massively altering your supply chain is rarely a good idea. Will Orangeman realise that? We will see.

Good luck. If you don’t pass as a refugee, you just need money, a job, a place to live and to prove all that to the central bureaucracy

Casual reminder that the DMA is not about trade wars, but monopolies

In Germany, some conservative politician said quite literally that “weed is banned because it’s an illegal drug”.

These excuses are valid for people bound by a law, but not for the people making them.

To print and mail it maybe. Not that uncommon when signatures are legally required, although in that case I would expect clear instructions on the form. And also a “we don’t do that here” response shortly after handing it in via email, since it wouldn’t be hard to filter for that kind of stuff

Oh, I was just mocking the claim that they can’t store 3 days worth of food.

Unless of course they are like 6 people on 60 m², in which case I want to sincerely apologise

If you cannot stote 3 days worth of food, my first investment would be a single fridge. Because it can totally hold that much.

While I get that people try to hurt Tesla’s sales, please don’t set random people’s property on fire. You might destroy the live of someone who bought a car before Edolf Musk rose to power and displayed the extent of his insanity.

Couldn’t care less for Tesla’s fresh out the factory tho

About the 57% approval

Smart move tbh. Pressure is applied, pressure is returned to sender. Given Zelenskyys now mediocre approval, it might even boost public opinion in his favour
