The Swiss German layout looks fairly reasonable in a vacuum. The ä key having 5 letter options on it is pretty wild though. The Swiss French layout is maybe better than standard French too - it’s certainly got more sensible punctuation.

This is cool and good and all, but also… yeah I should hope so! Installed capacity is going up not down and the conditions were historically favourable, so of course generation was good.

This is a healthy well functioning society.

As a counterpoint, if you’re our dog, you’ll have zero interest in clean tap water and instead are super interested in the filthiest most stagnant fetid waters they can find. Go figure.

increasing the vibrancy of the tax ecosystem

Non American here - why does taxation have an ecosystem of middlemen in it? Is this the capitalist innovation and efficiency I hear so much about?

Wow talk about telling on yourself

Well I’m not sure the British could take on a non military but well equipped entity like DHL, but that won’t exactly inspire people to join up will it?

Now imagine pop up headlights - even cuter than small wipers! People eat that shit up!

Because unlike water vapour in air, the ice crystals in the contrail reflect light (which is why we can see them) which causes a radiative forcing effect preventing infrared radiation leaving the earth, causing heating.

They form due to condensing water vapor as ice crystals, it’s dependant on temperature, humidity and pressure. It’s potentially the largest climate change factor from airtravel - not the burning of fuel, due to its own greenhouse effect (at least in the short term). But the jury is still out on that. The UK and presumably other nations are looking at reducing contrails through routing (at different altitudes in different weather conditions etc). So I guess this is accidentally not a bad idea but for the wrong reasons.

This will surely be cost effective in the long term, and in no way just cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
