A conflict with NATO has a higher chance of turning nuclear than a conflict with Ukraine. So maybe we should exclude the Baltic states and give them to Russia? To avoid a nuclear war?

He's also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and is involved in some other projects. Are you sure he doesn't need someone to run the business... somewhere? He needs to have a limit at some point, right?

Sure, in 2004 they poisoned Yushchenko. In 2014 they illegally annex Crimea and invade a part of the Donbas. Then by Elon and your suggestion, in 2022 they legally take Crimea, and after killing all the locals let's have some official

I agree and I fully understand. I'm from EU working with Ukrainian colleagues, so for me it's closer. I was never too bothered with other wars that were "far away", so I understand for US it's "far away'.

No, the "Crimea clearly belongs to Russia" part, among other things. And submitting to Russia does not equal "saving humanity" in my book. Far from it in fact. Also the "cost" of keeping Starlink alive in Ukrai

I was a big Elon Musk fanboy for what he was able to accomplish on both Tesla and SpaceX. I had the impression that he was very genuine and really wanted to "save humanity". I ignored the crazy things he said on twitter. I think h

It depends on what you call 'nerd' I guess. I learned myself how to program at 14. Never got bullied for that, and my friends all thought that was cool. Did kids get bullied? Sure. But it had more to do with social awkwardness tha

This "too cool for stuff" sounds like US culture. I never experienced that kind of thing in EU. We each had our own friend groups, and didn't really care what the other groups were into. I once heard an artist say (can't

Firefox is running behind on a lot of the latest features. And considering their market share, sometimes it's just less effort to ignore its limitations.

That sounds very strange to me. Where do you live? I'm from Belgium, and basically with any decent job you can afford everything you need to be happy. I have 3 daughters and 1 son.

There was one student in my classroom who was always correcting the teacher. Except for the fact that the teacher was always right and the student wrong. Call me skeptical, but can you provide us with examples where Wikipedia is misleading

Russia's economy is mainly export to Europe (>50%). Asia comes second. The Americas only account for about 6%. Of course sanctions on export to Russia will also be felt, but not as much as losing the money of Europe.

Ok, no problem. If you don't want to see it, you don't see it. Congrats on Germany for their excellent energy management and master strategic decision to get rid of their nuclear plants. Absolute legend.

Why do you need gas to heat homes??? Heat pumps seem like the most ecological solution. Let's face it, we're in this shit because of political shortsightedness, not because it was the best way to go.

by koonsolo 4y ago
A couple of years ago??? Around 2010 they had 17 reactors, then they shut down 8. Last years they only had 6 running, now only 3. Yeah, they needed gas alright, because nuclear seems so much worse...

by koonsolo 4y ago
Maybe Gazprom has penalties in their contract when they don't deliver the gas. This way they could blame it on external factors. I read it somewhere but can't remember where.

My first thought was Poland too, but don't rule out Russia > Russia wants the taps capable of being turned ON at their discretion, not permanently broken. I'm not an expert, but I read somewhere that Gazprom could escape a pena

I hope the one taking the lead for which features need to be built is the product owner and not the project manager.
