Why is it stupid? Please I am too stupid to understand why what I said is stupid Russia doesn't give gas to Europe as retaliation for arming Ukraine, stop arming Ukraine and they will give gas to Europe. I also said that this is not wh

Not saying that it should be done, let me state it before. But the obvious solution to the current crisis would be actually to stop arming Ukraine... It might just cause a larger more serious crisis later though Also european living in Euro

The problem here is not the current government responsible of what the ex-Cancellor does, it is more what he did when he was in power.

So what happened to the property? Did people with an invalid loan get a free property? Or it was forced to be sold to repay the loan in PLN? Or the owed value was calculated in 2007/8 PLN value? Sorry for having so many questions, but

Because Putin is a rational actor, the invasion of Ukraine was a huge miscalculation on his side, he thought it would have been a Blitzkireg, and it became a trench war for which he was not prepared

Why, do we have unlimited cheap energy? Or the technology to pull out CO2 from the atmosphere at this scale yet? IMO this is wishful thinking, and the wrong attitude to solve a problem that is right here right now. We should focus on reduci

While this is true for a few people, applying coercion on a mass scale using the kind of tech described in the article makes it much more convenient... so IMO the argument still holds

There's also a say: "pecunia non olet" that literally translates to "money does not stink" but in latin is kind of funny, because pecunia comes from pecu, which does indeed stink :)

I live in Germany, and the problem is a bit more subtle. At the moment is the 2g+ regulation, which basically means the if you are twice vaccinated of recovered + 1 vaccine dose you need to do a test every 24h to have a social life. Tests a

For which country are you talking about? The picture is different in different countries. In my opinion countries who reached 80% of vaccinated people should remove all the restrictions, but again, this is just my opinion, and I don't

Not according to the data I saw, and for sure not in the countries I spend most of my time...

That was in a very different scenario: the beginning of the pandemics with a much more dangerous variant of the virus, and nobody vaccinated. So I don't think that what the Nordics attempted is applicable at current situation

Same here, I don't care about numbers and statistics any more. I want my life back NOW I've had more than enough with 8 quarantines, and all of us already had COVID, we are vaccinated, and we are FED UP with rules and restrictions

Well, the carboniferous era would disagree with you :)

Nah, owning up means suffer the consequences of ones actions, in my opinion he owns up to nothing, he barely says he's sorry, but he doesn't care too much about the consequences, that's quite different if not opposite.

As other people have pointed out, the efficiency should be calculated over the car lifetime, and including the average efficiency at which the electricity is produced in the areas where the car test was run... Germany produces a LOT of ele

I am also this kind of person (0 contact outside work), and I also want to add that I had to (strongly) push back when I was contacted on my private phone while on vacation. I literally had to tell my colleagues RTFM and don't bother m

I think he is stating the exact opposite: to actually give doses to those countries without, exactly for this reason

by gitanovic 5y ago
because you are giving the virus less chances to replicate and therefore less chances at mutation I might be wrong, but it seems obvious to me that this should reduce variants

Was going to answer to say exactly this. The more vaccinated, the merrier the world with less variants

As long as they don't impose to me (40 y.o.) to catch a plane... fine with me I am getting very wary of the whole situation. "As soon as we get a vaccine we are good". Now we have the bloody thing, I got injected with it hop

I strongly disagree... also superstar make mistakes, and cannot know every single quirk. In particular when you have languages (like C++) with tons of "features" that enable very weird side effects in very weird situations. By the

Yes, but this doesn't confute what I said, it only exacerbates the situation. I wrote code with no pressure, tested it used it for months, and with some input that I didn't think about it broke spectacularly... I might be below av
