Ganz Ehrlich, wo hat denn die aktuelle Regierung mal so richtig scheiße gebaut? So Andi Scheuer Niveau Scheiße oder lass all unser gas in Russland kaufen scheiße oder CDU Maskenaffäre scheiße? Die schlimmsten Sachen sind wahrscheinlich die, die von der Vorgängerregierung übrig geblieben sind (looking at you SPD, hab nicht vergessen, dass du Teil der Vorgängerregierung warst)

Ich bin mit der aktuellen Regierung so zufrieden wie seit Jahren nicht mehr. Wir haben aktuell vll die progressivste Regierung der Welt, trotz der Unzulänglichkeiten die sie immernoch hat.

Und ich glaube ganz ehrlich das die grünen nur ihre Prinzipien über Board werfen muss weil die am linken Bein die SPD geklammert hat und am rechten die FDP die beide lustig kichern. Und das ist alles immernoch viel viel viel viel viel viel viel besser als das was sich anbahnt

Iirc correctly the monkey cats ( or however they are called ) actually just prefer a specific coffee plant that is more rarely used as the ones used for the vast amount of coffee in the world ( e.g. robusta or arabica). However, if the beans of this variation are used directly, it tastes exactly the same. There is a scientific paper about this. Long story short: people are drinking shat out coffee for no good reason. What is even worse, it is tried to hold these monkey cats in cages to produce more of this coffee. Again for no good reason. But people fall for the marketing pr gang that the coffee is handpicked by those animals, digested and shat out and they would not go for "yeah we need just to use another plant" because it wouldn't be so exklusive anymore...

Hey, no need to apologize for anything 🙃 yeah, that phrase is a quote ire st least kind of a meme.

Also don't forget about survivorship bias. We don't know how many percent of their buildings are still standing. Probably only the really really good build ones. Also never forget, any idiot can build a bridge that stands. It takes an engineer to built one that barely stands. And that is often what we are doing today. Making our stuff "good enough" as otherwise it wouldn't be economic feasible in the short or midterm. I am still curious how good it would be if we would instead aim for the long-term though..

Blöd ist halt das unsere moderne Lebensweise viel zuckrieges und fettiges Essen anbietet aber unser nicht ganz so modernes Hirn noch nach Routinen arbeitet, wo es den shit nicht gab bzw. er selten war. Klar gibt es auch gesundes Essen, aber es ist mentale Kraft nötig um eher dazu zu greifen als zu den Chips. Und wenn gerade anderes im Leben nicht so gut läuft hat die nicht jeder und die Werbung etc ist alles auf das fettige und zuckriege ausgerichtet

You mean 2-3 trips per week, right? Maybe with kids it gets one per day or every two days? laughs in 100 percent homeoffice

Wasn't the tire thing to stop the contour matching so that the drones can't see/find their target?

We proooooibably could do that if everyone agrees and we all do it together everywhere of the world. Will that happen? No. So we can not agree on that and therefore no big nuclear Masterplan will be build.

Let's say we also try to get everyone on the full renewable boat, try really hard. Will that work so that everybody agrees? No. So as we can not agree on that no renewables will be built. Wait.. Stop.. That's wrong. I still can built renewables even alone on my house. And here is the difference. For the nuclear plan we would almost all all over the world have to agree to make it work. For renewables, it will happen, because we can do it right here right now, everywhere, large scale, small scale. Doesn't matter. It's like with gravity and religion. For religion to "work" you need to believe. Gravity will work, if you believe it or not. That's what gives me at least a little bit hope, renewables are so fucking good, they are unstoppable by now. Question is just if we are fast enough.

How about a mixture of batteries (redox-flow, LiFePo, NaFePO, iron-air, Li-Ion), thermal storage (porous volcanic stone, heated water, liquid salt), mechanical storage (giant rotating masses, compressed air), pumped hydroelectrical storage, power-to-gas or power to liquid(hydrogen or ammonia) and creating interconnected power grids?

That should do. Would not create a single point of failure and prevent having everything in the hands of probably a single entity.

Problem is: who is in charge to write down the thing that is being voted for. E.g. "we need to protect the children" will get my yes vote. However, that is very unspecific and the specific thing could be "we are scanning every text message and sent file on every of your devices to compare that with child sexual abuse images as we need to protect the children". I wouldn't vote for that. So, whoever can frame the question that is beeing asked still directs what is happening.

Exactly this. There was some good coverage in the German podcast Logbuch Netzpolitik. Ashton is also involved in companies selling software to "solve" the CSAM issue with methods the scientific community says will not solve it and most likely will make everything worse, not only in the topic but also others like privacy overall.
