For all you DIY fans and hackers: 1) You can install solar panels yourself [1]. Most of the cost today is installation not the panels. You don't necessarily have to put them on the roof of your house. Installation on e.g. a car port or

Your calculation on AGM batteries is false, AFAIK. AGMs (basically lead acid batteries) have a much lower lifetime (about 300 cycles, not 5'000 [1]) versus LifePo4 (Lithium iron phosphate, ~2'000 cycles [1]), to the point where it

Can you explain further, please? I don't doubt what you are saying, but don't know why it is "obvious". Is it, because the amount of sea water is so large, relative to the amount of 'pollution'? The abstract of

Same here. Back to the 80s! I was born in the mid 80s but I once heard that the economy of the 80s was basically “people talking to other people on the phone.”

Yes, this is still tradition among some German students. My 30y old brother has several scars („Schmiss“) from it.

Yup. A similar term (Schlüsselkind) was popular in Germany when I went to school in the 90s and had a negative connotation. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlüsselkind

Not ordering enough vaccines and in a timely manner because wanting "a European solution" was perhaps the biggest fuck up. Wasted billions for pennies and killed thousands of people.
