Wrong community. Try a world news one.
- Comment on Can we all agree to look up a local third party candidate and mention their name to someone you know who is also local? 2 days ago:
Yes for local elections you need to investigate all the options and see which one is best. It usually doesn’t divide cleanly upon party lines and not all 3rd party candidates are great. Wouldn’t be something where you could have Lemmy sharing their favorites for all voting districts though, there are too many.

I voted third party for 30 years straight. That all ended with Trump. If he wins, democracy is dead in the USA. There’s no coming back from that. I was never a “lesser of two evils” guy, but faced with the option of living in a fascist dictatorship, you’d better believe I am now.

I didn’t try it, but I can confidently answer your question anyway:
Ass.

I’d like to believe that this is true, but after the revelations of how much Merkel and Schroeder were in bed with the oil industry as well as the green party’s role in this, I’m skeptical to say the least.

Every nuclear plant that is closed is a coal or gas plant that could be closed, so yes, coal is replacing it.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Honestly even gas should be phased out before nuclear.

Yeah I could see it for very young babies where you may need to change things every few months. But after 2-3 years old I don’t see it making sense.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 week ago:
36 GBP a month for 10 items of kids clothes? That’s 432 GBP a year. I’d think you could easily buy many more than 10 items of clothes for that amount and other than kids under 3 I don’t think you’d need to replace them more than annually.

- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Closing a nuclear plant means you keep a coal plant open. So you are in effect replacing nuclear with coal. If you kept the nuclear plant open you could close the coal plants instead. Idiotic move.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Shutting down a nuclear plant while keeping coal ones open is replacing nuclear with coal.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
If you close a nuclear power plant before closing a coal one, you are effectively replacing the nuclear with coal. It makes no sense to shut down nuclear plants before all the coal ones are shut down first.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Then we can totally agree. It’s not what Germany did though.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Nuclear is the solution until all coal plants are shut down. Coal kills millions each year (1000x more than coal) in addition to being a massive contributor to global warming. Nuclear is one of the safest power sources in the world and emits no greenhouse gas.
Shutting down nuclear plants while coal plants still exist is a crime against humanity.

I had completely forgotten that it was Microsoft that killed Nokia.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Coal plants kill more when they work properly than nuclear plants do when they break. Every coal plant is worse than Chernobyl or Fukushima.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Germany is actively closing nuclear plants, one of the safest and cleanest energy sources, and replacing them with coal, the most dangerous and dirty one.
- Comment on rollin' coal 1 week ago:
Yet even accounting for all of that, including Chernobyl and Fukushima, nuclear is still 1000x safer than coal and as safe as wind and solar.
- Comment on A conversation with my wife 1 week ago:
We see doctors regularly and are trying to manage the problem without circumcision. You may have had problems when you were a kid too and just don’t remember it, it’s fairly common.
- Comment on A conversation with my wife 2 weeks ago:
Pediatricians have timelines for these sort of things. And it can get infected under there.
- Comment on A conversation with my wife 2 weeks ago:
As someone who is circumcised and chose not to circumcise their son, I’m seeing that circumcision has a lot of benefits. My son’s foreskin has always been too tight and won’t still fully retract at 7 years old. We have to put cream on it every night. It needs a lot more thorough washing every day or else it gets discharge all over it. The care and maintenance on an uncircumcised penis is like 1000x that of a circumcised one. I never knew any difference, so I’m not sure what the downsides of having a circumcised one is.

Fair point.

Honestly it would be a more accurate portrayal of how viscous hippos actually are. I think on this one, nature is just fucking with us by making hippos look that way.

If you read the article, it’s not a statement with entirely no merit.
The engineers prioritized an algorithm which is far more likely to be useful in real world scenarios where you keep trying to cram a bunch of stuff in the frunk and close it (who hasn’t done this?) rather than the edge case of repeatedly testing it with vegetables until you stick your finger in it.
Anyway, I suppose it’s back to the drawing board.
