So, start a few minutes before midnight, get in 50 laps, then 50 the next day.

France made a big mistake to go all in.

Not only does Germany import electricity from France (which comes from…?), but Germany has (according to this) a substantially higher carbon footprint per capita.

If the only issue is cost and projects taking longer than expected, isn’t that a good tradeoff for carbon neutral power?

And yes, of course, I would prefer renewables, you would prefer renewables, we all would. But it’s somewhat disingenuous to decry the use of nuclear, advocate for renewables, and at the same time, rely heavily on coal, as Germany does (or at the very least, did recently.

I’m not a big fan

I see what you did there.

AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more “dangerous” simply because you can fall off a roof.

Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.

Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.

Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.

And then Slack killed that feature…but it absolutely didn’t kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.

My prediction is it’ll be the same — what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller “proper” instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.

Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong…

I think in a developed nation, “veganism” almost always connotes some amount of health consciousness, which can be expensive. Different, I imagine, in rice-and-lentils developing parts of the world.

AFAIK Oreos, sour patch kids, taco bell bean burritos, and McD’s French fries are vegan…but they’re not associated with “vegan culture.”

Edit: strike through fries

Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn’t fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin’ chassis but they’re constantly tinkering with the internal bits?

A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…
