For that to change they need to not depend on expensive power plants (such as coal, gas, etc.), the bidding process for the electricity market in the EU will price the 15-minute wi…

That's what happens when a culture is broken to the point of requiring generations of work to fix it: people who are unhappy will leave because there's no hope for enough to change…

There's no need to be technical about a social aspect of human life, there's no paradox of the heap when considering the human aspect: people alive have felt in their skin and soul…

Same for me, have Philips Hue bulbs for the past 10 years, some 50 of them and only had one failure unrelated to the LEDs themselves.

78 years is not that far ago in terms of human generations, the children of the people displaced are still alive, and they've disputed it all the time since then. Don't understand …

> Also the Arabs took the land from the Byzantine empire in the 7th century AD. A historical event from 1300 years ago is a bit irrelevant to contemporary issues.

Zionism can be both the nationalist movement for making Israel a Jewish state as well as the interpretation that such a movement is inherently colonial and racist. So Zionism for I…

My cat almost doesn't chew at all, she's only fed wet food which she swallows in chunks and the rare prey she catches outdoors is teared and swallowed in chunks as well.

Germany still has expensive thermal power plants which dictate the price of electricity given the bidding system used for pricing it. Sweden and Norway have very cheap electricity …

I don't follow, the argument is against the addictive design of the feed algorithms, not the information being shared per se. Nothing in this is geared towards curtailing platforms…
