Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

Else anyone with physical access can install spyware without anyone noticing. Thats a bit of security which most people probably won’t notice but can be deactivated in a minute by any owner, so I don’t mind.

They have a howto on their support page

And i just tested it, you get the unlock code immediately.

Vibe Coding. I can’t see a way for this to go wrong…

There is also the Hug of Death, I don’t think that’s illegal

Why?

Didn’t the ICJ already ruled they found no evidence of a genocide? And most researchers also reject the russian claims?

These links don’t support the thesis „ukraine is dominated by nazis", but rather there are issues with fascists, but on a small level.

The sexual assault regularly happening to Roma people and ethnic Russians in Ukraine at the hands of Azov and other right wing battalions

That is also an issue and has to be addressed. Neonazis and rapists everywhere have to be imprisoned. But the invasion of russia is the wrong way to address this. A democracy and a fair and non corrupt judicial system are the way to go.

If you wanna know what it’d look like if they hadn’t defended themselves, look at the West Bank.

Thats an argument in favor of defense.

Because he is an evil bastard. There is a behind the bastards episode about him.

You don’t need a smart meter for this, just plug and play. If seen offers for complete sets from as low as 250€ in supermarkets, so almost everyone can get one and start saving some power.

Sadly really small wind turbines are really ineffective and not worth the investment until you have a really windy balcony. If you only have a few square meters solar is the only choice.

But I’d still love to have a small windmill in my garden.

Yeah, totally didn’t understand the morality of the book and thinks sauron is a good role model

Peter Thiel is a Lotr fan

Yeah, you’re lazy and wrong,

Not using facts,

True

but using logic:

You mean pulling stuff out of your ass?

not just birds being killed or their migrations affected by disorientation,

Not true

but also seeds carried by wind

Wtf?

that a Chernobyl or two every decade is better

Wtf???

Start bringing some sources

Hydroelectric energy is worse than burning coal. It’s not being strict, it’s being adequate

[Citation required]

Housecats are a catastrophe, cars - not so much, agriculture - modern agriculture can have little impact for very good output.

All are way bigger than windturbines. And the biggest is habit loss, which is mainly driven by agriculture.

Yeah, not gonna write a big reply to this.

If your that strict, nothing is green. Its about minimizing the impact. And you forgot to mention the mining of uranium.

Wind energy impacts birds.

Please compare the impact to housecats, cars and agriculture.

But you always have a combination of several renewable sources which can power these countries.

this is not uncontested, plenty of people disagree

Yeah, i know. Time will tell.

we have been saying this for decades and I guarantee you we will still be saying in in another decade. Also, renewables aren’t fast to connect to the grid either. The more we spin up the bigger the backlog will be connecting new installations to the grid.

Sorry but that is just not true. The growth of solar has almost been logarithmic and the installed capacity was almost non-existent two decades ago. That just doesn’t compare to the snails pace of nuclear.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics

Also, it’s not about people, but money. Every euro spent on some tech bro nuclear startup could be used to install real capacity instead.

longer power lines means more efficiency losses, and the more you plan to roll out renewables to 100% the more inefficiencies there will be. as previously stated, connecting large brand new renewable installations to the grid is expensive and also takes a long time.

Yeah, theoretically true, but what distances are we talking about? To get electricity from the suburbs in the city center should be trivial. It gets more difficult if we have to cross countries, but high voltage DC solves that issue pretty well. We could power europe from solar installed in the Sahara ^^

Don’t forget hydro, look at Norway, it’s pretty far away from the equator but has almost 100% renewables. Island as well. There are suboptimal locations, but in the end there is no country which can’t use renewables for all electricity needs.

Supplying the current global electricity consumption with solar PV would imply covering 0.3% of the land area of the world (source)

All rooftops should be enough but parking lots and agrarsolar would be also solutions. So even if we only use solar (which we don’t ) it should be possible.

Renewables create a base load, the problem are demand peaks following overcast days. And there npps don’t help.

so would nuclear if we actually did it and improved regulatory inefficiencies

Maybe, but not fast enough. We need the power immediately and battery are already in the steep part of their growth phase. We can’t spend several decades learning how to do it right. Then we could also just wait for fusion.

land use isn’t an issue in rural places, but it absolutely is in more densely populated places near cities and datacenter hubs. The world is not homogenous.

Then we use power lines like we do already. Most power plants right now are also not in cities, so I don’t understand the argument. Would you also want to build the npps in/near cities?

But the technology requires this amount of bureaucracy, else you get big problems. I trust physics, but i don’t trust humans. Especially if they can get money by skimping on security. The risks with renawables (except dams) are way smaller.
