Arguably 4G networks were developed in Europe and they are widely used. It's a marathon, not a sprint. I live with a high living standard with access to good health care. Hey, I also live in a democracy, and you're right that I th

Europe has housed millions of Ukrainian refugees from the war. Here's a count of European contributions to the war. Is this embarrassing? https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/united-states-america...

What does it mean, that "EU is nothing" without US involvement? You might want to write something more substantial if you don't want those votes.

AlphaPhoenix's measurements, experiments and visualisations really help! They show some things that are normally not even taught and even electrical engineers will appreciate to see this. This video he made about it is very good, and w

Apparently there was a path from the internet to the wallet anyway, that's what it sounds like.

Learning language is a lifelong journey, I'm convinced we continue to master our native language as well as we age. Maybe more so if we care and pay attention to it. So I hope there is still hope for some of the youth.. And I would add

That's an empty argument. I think people hate musk, if they do, for the things he does and has done. It's not the other way around. Judging people for their actions is a fair way to look at it.

The new GOP budget envisions a "$4 trillion increase in the debt limit", so yeah, $3 mil here and there do not really compare to the amount being "spent" (income lost in future budget compared with existing) on tax cuts.

Exploring like this is a way to get familiar with the feature, explore its limits and inform you on how to use it in the future. It's curiosity, play and learning. It's great.

There's by now a lot of DC links in Europe for example going from the European continental grid to the Nordic grid. Denmark is split between the two so it has a country internal DC link too.

Yes. It's about the threshold to hold an opinion and to act. Different people have different thresholds for how much they dare to break from the status quo. With widespread protests we change the range of standpoints people feel comfor

The trade war pales in the long run compared to the power grab by Musk and supporters (accessing the Treasury payment system, shutting down agencies without congressional approval). It's very bad news for American government and democr

I honestly wonder why I find this so skin-crawling and unsettling. Something about the distortion of a familiar shape.

It seems to list the mechanism on each model. A bunch of them seem to use Peugeot for the mechanism and I have a such branded grinder that seems to hold up really well..

That reminds me of a fallacy that was described somewhere (is it in freakonomics?). A daycare place wanted parents to not be late for pickup so they instituted a small fine ($5-10) if you pick up late. The result was: more late pickups, bec

Elon musk did a sign that shows that he's a Nazi. There's no ambiguity, he did the sign the neo-nazis do and it's instantly recognizable. That's my reading of the situation, with my education and background (I grew up &a

I mean, it changes nothing on one hand, but it also crosses another line. From a European perspective (my perspective), this has burned all his credibility in Europe outside of fringe groups, there is no ambiguity.
