Parent is talking about laptops, I am talking about laptops, why are you talking about smartphones? Though I also had my Samsung S2plus from 2013 to 2019 in use, and that was fairly cheap. I do not know any IPhone users that had theirs for

And here I am sitting at my 2011 Dell Latitude wondering what is so special about that. My sis had my 2013 Sony Duo but that's now become unusable with its broken, built-in battery. Yes, 5 to 8 years of service is nice, but not great o

The last nuclear power plant in Germany will get shutdown in less than 15 months. With that in mind, there have been no investments into them for years. You won't be able to keep them running by simple maintenance. That ship has sailed

When everyone knows it, I agree. As long as it is not mentioned anywhere, and people do not write hundreds of comments, its just a failed captcha that appears more often when someone writes something in range, possibly forcing them to rethi

One interesting approach I heard about in this domain is the Trolldrossel (German for troll throttle) by Linus Neumann from CCC. He implemented a captcha test for a comment server that would fail with a certain percentage when encountering

There a very different techniques of cell culture. For cultured meat for example, the texture is very important which makes it expensive as you have to grow large groups of cells. If that is not necessary here, it will be much cheaper. An e

One thing that I could imagine: it bases it's decision only on few (or the 'wrong') features while you (or marketing) want to consider more. We have had a project where we were asked if our model would consider X. So we added

For the city, maybe. For everywhere else, I doubt it. When I am up in the regional hills with my bike, I am (almost) the only one without battery. Its still okay but has become a lot less remote. If you now remove the pedaling, it becomes e

In Germany, they are not that pathetic. You can theoretically be fined upto 50.000€ for mowing on Sundays. The two days before Easter, even dancing is forbidden in many federal states.

The climate wasn't that different, just a little wetter. Also we don't know what wild dromedaries were like, given that they are extinct for 2000 years now. And the depicted ones were almost certainly wild, given that dromedaries

Parent suggested that Sweden would not need fossil fuels when using nuclear power to stabilize their grid. And I pointed out that not even France is doing that. You are right, there are some days where they vary the plants output up to 50%

We do not have to think about weather, even the day-night cycle produces very strong differences in energy demand. Now what does the nuclear power house France do to counter this change in demand? Hint: it is (to 99%) not to regulate nuclea

Well, the green party never advocated for using coal instead. Of course, you cannot abandon nuclear power, then destroy your rising solar industry, then destroy your wind industry (first onshore, than offshore) and finally also abandon coal

My grandma just got Lyme with pretty high certainty in her own garden. In suburbia in a million people city. With a deer:people ratio of about 0.00. From my understanding, ticks can be in any type of grass. If you somehow touch grass of any

Ticks and Lyme are also transmitted by birds (i.e https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210127093213.h... ). Especially migrating birds are a big issue as more and more 'tropic' ticks end up
