It's because any modern RE technology requires hundreds times more land than gas or nuclear (surface power density) so if you had a nuclear power plant that occupied say 1 kmΒ², replacing it by wind or PV means you suddenly need to occupy area of 70 kmΒ² to get the same nominal power.

There was recently a dispute in Kent precisely on that topic - is it really so "green" to occupy 400 ha of forest, moorlands and meadows with PV panels...

The below picture explains in detail why closed nuclear power plants don't get replaced by renewables - they get replaced by fossil gas.

Burning some pyrotechnics is the best way to tell about it πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈXR is just as dumb in this aspect as Greenpeace riding large petrol-powered boats to protest against oil industry or flying airplanes to conferences to protest against flying airplanes.

This is a very good point. Plenty of people still love USSR, even if it's only an idealized image of it, but, more importantly, most people don't realize Nazi regime in Germany enjoyed huge popular support as it introduced a lot of social, educational and job programs "for the people", and the beneficiaries were given plenty of reasons to never care about mass executions of disabled people or "subhuman races".

PH3 could originate from unknown photochemistry or geochemistry, or, by analogy with biological production of PH3 on Earth, from the presence of life." <--- THIS

I got several requests on how fast potato internet is, so I plugged one between the second DSL wire.
Didn't even cost much bandwidth, still about 175/39 Mbit/s! Definitely some HF-magic going on here.
The apple doesn't seem to be too happy about the heat in the cabinet, though.

@kravietz Thanks for that reminder. I have been getting slight lower back pain or tension a couple of days back, and didn't get my ass up to look for some exercises and do them. Now I did.

@dump_stack

Well, the conclusion clearly *is* an existing narrative - I had pleasure to discuss the topic of "100'000 people on streets of Minsk only because a Polish agent from Nexta told them so" for the last week on Twitter with die-hard USSR pensioners πŸ˜ƒ That's what they are told in TV πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@bad_immigrant

Police repressions failed to stop women march today in #Minsk. Around 10 000 people gathered to protest police brutality and demand resignation of Lukashenko. #Belarus

Yesterday at the talk on #Belarus one person mentioned that some communists in West Germany did a presentation on the topic. The message was "we don't really understand what is going on, because everything is in russian and in telegram, but we believe it is a coup"
