    I don't buy that as a factor. Given that the OEMs overprice the parts that they have to compete with aftermarket suppliers for, why would they NOT overprice the parts for which the…

    That's not what this is about. Negative electricity prices are rare, and do not account for the massive difference in utilization between renewables and nuclear. By the way nuclear…

    Coal and gas sure, but renewables are obviously dependent on weather. Nobody runs their solar panels less than maximally possible "because they can". When there is significant over…

    Bullshit. Coal and petroleum are way deadlier than rooftop solar, even without diluting it with industrial solar installations. https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2008/03/deaths-per-twh…

    You don't get it. In the US you can watch something else, despite the oversized influence of media conglomerates.

    I mean then we can't really use that video to judge or corroborate the morality / atrocities of the sides. And even for economics and politics, there is no analysis of balance or t…

    That is a decent factual YouTube video but it is laser focused on the title - what does Russia get out of invading Ukraine. There is no discussion at all of atrocities or moral con…

    I'm with you on all points. Nazis are bad, of course. Invasions are bad. The reason I cared to comment is because Ukrainian Nazis are used as justification for the invasion in Russ…

    You won't find 100% correctness even in peace time. That doesn't mean you can throw your hands in the air and assume that information from both sides of the conflict is on average …

    There's Azov batallion, but Russia has its own Wagner group. None of that is an excuse to invade another country and shell civilians of course.

    Yeah right. You keep trying to hairsplit one sentence because you're butthurt that nobody cared about the conflict you cared about, but now people dare to care a "lesser" conflict …

    Because they don't want to deal with people who are paying for the bombs falling on them, even if it's not those people's fault. They're a private company so they get to make such …

    Don't bullshit me, you were talking about Namecheap's response, not other countries' sanctions. The sanctioning countries are third parties to this conflict. You can talk about the…

    I hope your own country / city / office / home never gets shelled, so that you never have to learn the difference between caring for your home and a "double standard". Nothing easi…

    You should email their support. I don't think they actually want to terminate your particular account, I think they only want to target people and companies who are actually in Rus…

    > seizing Ukraine for it’s strategic importance to Russia - food, energy, year round port, buffer against a land invasion to Moscow. Wow, that's literally the worst take I've heard…

    So? What else are you gonna shell first when invading a country?

    It's just a strange choice given that the author is lamenting about how traditional relief maps don't represent both coastlines and high mountain terrain well... And then proceeds …

    Interesting idea, but elevations lower than 50m or so are colored black as if they're water. Looks like an apocalyptic flood. Don't understand why the author didn't make sea level …

    Not everything that is essential should be regulated the same just because they have this factor in common. Stop being so dense. A market being essential simply means that optimal …

    You'd be surprised. Google makes more than that from showing ads to an average US user. Same for Facebook iirc.
