Sadly all power generation methods come at a cost. What would you suggest?

You can argue about how green it is, considering its impact on ecosystems, but how did they end at the conclusion that it’s not renewable?

Sustainable energy is heavily subsidised in Europe. Thanks to that we have 80% renewable energy production in Austria (and buy some non-renewable energy from other countries but still, we’re on a good way).

I’ll assume they mean the countries that currently support Ukraine

Electric cars are the solution for individual movement, but not with lithium batteries and not with non-renewable power plants. Both of these will change at some point.

I was born with bad eyes. People back then also were born with bad eyes but couldn’t do anything about it.

Obviously you can also get bad eyes (shortsighted) when always only focusing on short distances but it’s not the only way. Most people also become far sighted when they get older (the pressure inside your eye lowers and therefore your eye becomes shorter)

The ultimate idea afaik is to build huge renewable energy power plants (for example solar energy in deserts) to generate it there, and then transport it through pipelines to wherever you need it.

I love that since people can’t just use memorized openings (I don’t know any openings, just playing the way I like - for me chess isn’t about memorizing patterns but rather about analysing the board to find the best move. I play chess because I want to think, not because I want to train openings)

I’m out of the loop, what’s the joke? En passant it with your queen?

Context?

Those same jobs have to be done regardless of the economic system.

Society also needs stupid (or because of other reasons uneducated) people for the jobs noone else wants to do.

The Nazis did that, breeding blonde-haired blue-eyed people (mostly combining German men with I think Swedish women). Most of them were murdered after the war ended (despite only being innocent children), because people thought that 1. Nazis have to be mentally different and 2. same for women who “agree” to participate in this program, so they thought that of course the offsprings would “also” be mentally different/disabled.

When I’m hiking I only use my phone to take photos and to check the weather and maps (+ airplane mode when I’m not checking the weather). My Pixel 7 easily lasts half a week to a week with that usage.

And torrents start seeding automatically so it’s only legal as long as you torrent files that aren’t copyrighted, right?

I know but still prefer black

Are those ads everywhere in a room with us right now?

Seriously though, I haven’t seen a single ad ever since activating an adblocker when I first used a computer. And macOS has just as many ads on websites when not using an adblocker.

I can highly recommend reading it, I love the way it shows that we should find people who still love us if we lose everything (shown by a negative example in the book)

I prefer black. Remember that the saying goes: “White begins, black wins.” (I have no idea if this saying also exists in English but it does rime just as well as in German („Weiß beginnt, Schwarz gewinnt.”))
