I will buy a Tesla because I love driving it. Yes even commute. Driving an EV makes driving so easy and fun. I had one as part of a car subscription for 5 months and I always looked forward to my commute. Even an ID5 from VW or something co

Well, just like how some conspiracy theorists claim people will die from COVID shots 'soon,' but keep adjusting the date, we can expect the Energiewende 'fatality' to happen right around the same time that elusive '

Thank you for your post. And I mean it. I've fallen into this trap so often myself, because nothing grinds my gears as conspiracy theorists do. I think next time I'll stop before I answer, think of your post and maybe copypaste it

All the scientific evidence points to the fact that ultra-processed foods are unhealthy. There is much more money to be made in pushing the opposite view. But of course, those little mom and pop shops like Nestlé, Unilever et al don't

For the very low chance someone wants to give this a try, be wary of any zucchini you grow yourself, if it tastes even mildly bitter it might kill you. The chance that this happens is greatly increased if cross pollination occurs. Most peop

Shipping to europe is free? Also, just a word of caution here: this product is regulated by the EU Novel Foods directive, and has not had a safety assessment to date. Which basically means selling it in the EU for consumption would be ill

I think you can stay longer if your position is paid for by a private party instead of publicly funded. That could very well be the case at an institute. Maybe reach out to them, best a professor and explain your situation. Link in german:
