The EU is its members. Every EU country voted to phase out incandescent bulbs, so that includes yours. This was not something imposed on your country against its will.

No, it isn't; you can learn git internals in less the 60 mins. They are really simple. It's people's imagined model of how git works that is complicated so they assume git itself must also be complicated.

My apologies then; I thought you sounded like one of these gold standard fanatics that are all over. I couldn't find the essay on the web, but it's in the book https://www.amazon.com/Praise-Idleness-Other-Essays&#x

Oh, right, you think you know the answer already. Coincidentally, in the collection of essays "In Praise of Idleness" the fourth one is called, "The Modern Midas", written in 1932. You might enjoy it.

Nope, oil. It was the 1973 oil crisis, which led to prices quadrupling. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis

The Mauna Loa daily CO2 measurements started in 1958. Before that, there weren't any continuous measurements happening.

You wouldn't pay $25 for a clearly well executed 13th Century painting by the artist who taught Giotto, unless you knew other people would pay more? That comment isn't painting you in as good a light¹ as you might think. ¹Hah!

On point 3: Norway isn't in the EU. On point 4: what does the population have to do with it? If they had a population of 50 million, would that negate points 1-3 in some way? Another way of describing their population might be, "r

Neither Denmark nor Germany have the "highest renewable rate" of the countries listed on that graph. Denmark is 4th and Germany is 17th in the EU.

Ok, then I'll give you an analogy in return: Someone posts that they'd tried to join two strings in C++ and print the result. And they couldn't figure out how to do it; they would keep losing the second string. So, they gave

To be frank, I've no interest in selling anything so don't need a sales technique. To be franker, I think the OP was talking crap. No-one loses a month of work and doesn't think to get advice on how to fix it. It's just

As a sysadmin (as am I), you should know how git works so you can fix it when the devs break it. :) What do you find difficult about it?

Yeah, I did oversimplify that. I guess I was really saying, that if your trees live for 100 years, say, it's not like the whole forest disappears once the 100 years are up. And, of course, if it's used for forestry, the trees will

Next time, could you get a video from someone who's actually seen a tree? That video was just awful. It's only redeeming feature was that it was short. Here's what he got wrong: 1. The mass of CO2 in the atmosphere is about

Apologies for being passive agressive, I meant to be direct. Anyone who thinks children should be taken to therapy because they're easily distracted is an idiot. Is that non-passive enough for you? The root cause is kids get distracted

The 1 ppm = 7.81Gt is correct, but the 2900Gt figure isn't atmospheric total, it's total emissions . Not all emissions end up staying in the atmosphere, so it doesn't translate exactly across.

They are being treated equally. A citizen of France who is resident in Luxembourg would be able to purchase. A citizen of Luxembourg who is resident in France, wouldn't. You can have rules that apply only to residents, but they have to
