Your Polish relatives:

- We want no immigrants here bringing their crime to this honest catholic neighbourhood

Also your Polish relatives:

- Are you crazy, you can't leave your bicycles here, local bums will nick them in no time!

"100% renewables would require increasing the land used for energy from today’s 0.5% to 50%. We should want cities, farms, and power plants to have higher, not lower, power densities"

Jeeeesus I just did a basic comparison of these features with the MacBook Pro (2019). Assuming that a comparison between the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x and the Intel i9 (??) CPU would be fair, and keeping all other specs sort of the same, the MacBook Pro costs about double the price of this build.

As I again saw someone prominently declaring Soviet symbolics ☭ while declaring a bit of historic clarification: the first thing Bolshevik did to anarchists in 1917-1922 was to exterminate them, just as they did with revolutionaries (SR)

The largest anarchist commune of Nestor Makhno met the same fate

And the best first-hand testimony on beginning of Bolshevism by Bertrand Russell (1920):

Many people are scared to death by "radiation" but science makes it clear: dose matters, and natural background radiation surround us everywhere on the Earth.

Holy shit you guys! The #EU has adopted a standard to measure how repairable something is!

This means the path is now clear to make actual laws requiring companies to make their products repairable.

@hhardy01 @kravietz Another very frequently missed important point is:
nuclear power is not only uranium based. This technology was developed with priority because of the plutonium

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioact

There are other types of nuclear reactors that produce a lot less radioactive waste. Check the Molten salt reactor (MSR) for example and the related technologies:

Extinction Rebellion UK ex-spokes person:

"For many years I was skeptical of power. Surrounded by anti-nuclear activists, I had allowed fear of radiation, nuclear waste and weapons of mass destruction to creep into my subconscious. A friend sent me a scientific paper on the actual impacts, including the (very small number of) total deaths from radiation at Chernobyl and Fukushima, I realised I had been duped into anti-science sentiment all this time."

Well, now it's time for another Google-sponsored "grassroots" anti campaign explaining users that lack of behavioral profiling actually violates their freedom to be profiled 😂
