This is wrong in some many ways. To add to the already mentioned. Ocean water is the largest carbon dioxide buffer by absorbing CO2 to become carbonic acid. As the sulfur acidifies the Ocean, this “competes” with the carbonic acid, increasing the CO2 emissions from the Ocean.
In other words, all geoengineering tropes end up being horseshit.
Who gets to decide what “actual crimes” are and what aren’t? For instance in Germany for good reason hate speech is forbidden and in rare cases can put you in prison. By US standards inconceivable. Meanwhile in the US people are coerced into plea deals for crimes they didnt commit, or get mandatory minimum sentences for drug posession in small quantities.
As with the inflation in many EU countries, the goods actually making up most daily purchases had prices increase much more severely.
140k people is about the amount of people living in a 1km radius around you, if you live in some inner city area.
CoD 2. Best campaign of the series imo. But it is a very different game from anything since MW. And of course it is some 20 years old by now.
I agree. KDE out of the box just looks solid and works. Especially when i came from Windows it was nice to know where basic functions are, and then slowly learn the cool stuff. But generally i like things to just be tidy and “bland” in the sense of not customized crazily.
Yes it might happen either way. Still not something to gamble lightheartedly. You think in 1914 anyone thought to escalate into a World War over some crown prince being shot in the Balkans?
Escalations always have a risk of running out of control quickly.
It was a mistake not to supply Ukraine with the weapons they needed early on. But as we see now with NK troops, it is considered a major escalation by everyone. Also problem is that at some point war is not about any larger objectives anymore. It boils down to “you killed my comrade, ill kill yours in retaliation”
And in functioning democracies this well result in a report known to parliament where it gets exposed. You cannot and should not have the executive do things “quietly” in a democracy. Mostly for better, in rare cases for worse.
It is both. Increase the costs of doing business -> price goes up and demand goes down. BotH local customers and external company loose.
This can be sensible if you need to protect a small economy so that the customers profit from having work and businesses grow to become competitive. E.g. all the industrialized nations had protectionist measure to indistrialize and then pushing “free trade” after was a ploy to keep emerging economies down and their natural ressources easily exploitable.
Between two industrialized (or post industrial) economies this does not make sense.
The confirmed death toll now has risen past 60 unfortunately.
With almost half a meter worth of rain in 8 hours, as reported in one area around Valencia, this is the kind of event where humans are just powerless.
And i hope your choice gets respected as it is your choice. The same should apply to the people whose personal effects have been robbed from their graves.
When looking at places like the British National Museum and when we look at many other Museums created at the height of Imperialism they were definetely signs of power over any scientific purpose.
It is the ultimate power move to get away with robbing artifacts from all over the world and putting them on display in your capital. And then having the audacity to claim to “take care of them” for your “underdeveloped” people wouldnt know how to handle your own culture.
I for sure dont want anyone to unbury me, steal my last personal effects to put on display and toss by remains in some cooler waiting further analysis.
That shouldnt matter. It remains an arbitrary decision by the living, who have no way of calling in the opinion of the deceased.
When coming across a burial site while doing archeological digging just restore it and move on.
The dignity of a human doesnt go away because people think his culture doesnt exist anymore.
If you have less and older workers there is only so much you can do to keep an economy running. Thankfully all the fascist are against having younger working age people come to Europe. God forbid the economy to stay afloat.
Given that rents are higher near population centers, i think “the market” would solve it.
Between 2020 and August 2023, European investors put up an estimated $164.2 billion of loans and guarantees for businesses “actively involved” in Israeli settlements — and held $144.7 billion of shares and bonds in the same firms, according to an estimate from a coalition of groups opposing European investment in settlements.
This is some 318 Billion $ or about 300 Billion €. Given Israels total population of about 10 million people, delibaretly ignoring that about 3 million of them are Palestinian Arabs, subject to extensice discrimination, that makes about 30.000 € of European investments per each Israeli citizen in merely 3 years.
The only way these investments can pay off, is banking on the long term annexation and ethnic cleansing of the Westbank. I hope these “investors” will face the ICC at some point.
With Trump or whatever Ghoul that comes after him in the Republican party looming, it is crucial for the EU to gain strategic independence.
While there were some impulses during Trumps first presidency it seems things had slowed down during Bidens term. Especially Scholz having blocked Macrons ambitions of an EU army, threw us back on that front.
We have a united economic sector. We need a united defense system and a united foreign policy. This stabilises the EU to the outside and helps growing stronger internally, hopefully reaching an EU, where the current national identity becomes more of a regional identity in political and administrative terms.
I know this ideal got further away over the past years, rather than closer, but i will keep hoping for it as long as the EU exists.
Thank you. i didnt know about Finland joining in on the Nazis side. I thought they had only fought the Winter War to fend off the Sovjet invasion 1939-40
that is quite simple actually.
Butter and skimmed milk also come from the same source. You have a complex mixture of stuff that is differently viscose, so in mixture it all ends up with a certain viscosity. Now you separate it and you get stuff that is almost solid and you get stuff, that is very liquid, or in the case of crude oil you get some gaseous fractions.
