I feel this is like the least controversial thing to happen in Austrian politics in the last 10 years… There is a long list of shit before this one that the ÖVP should be sued for…

Not sure I’m ready for suicide memes.

This Reuters article provides a decent summary: https://www.reuters.com/legal/case-against-elon-musks-56-billion-pay-package-2024-01-30/

The full, current list is: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates

Adding Turkey and Hungary would lead to: SHITBRICEEU, which I find amusing :)

It would become normal if more people started riding to work and requesting it.

While I understand the sentiment, such action doesn’t match the long term goals of the bloc to unify the continent. Another solution needs to be found to ensure single bad actors cannot hold up actions which severely impact the remaining stakeholders - I have no idea how it could be done though.

Xoxo, Another useless armchair observer

The 70 second video is the dumbest thing I have seen in a long time. Looks like it was made by some 12 year olds in windows movie maker on Windows XP. It’s like 50 seconds of aircraft taking off and missiles flying then 10 seconds of fire gifs over Taiwan…

news.com.au is like the daily mail level of trash in Australia.

Thanks for the suggestion, I started looking into LaTeX during my studies but never went through with learning it. Others have suggested Scribus, is there a reason why you might opt for LaTeX over that for this case?

DigiKam and it’s associated plugins are what I use to sort, manage and store photos. It does have facial recognition option too, but I have not used it until now.

I noticed that as part of the LaTeX description, thanks for confirming! I will take a look at scribus.

Well colour me shocked!

I am going to absolutely take this at face value without checking any of the text because anything that is so well written, must be true! Thanks, I learnt a heap from this.

It appears to be a widely quoted official figure and have no insight on if it is realistic. I am also aware that this does not consider the considerable environmental impact of the disaster, nor the economic cost to clean up the mess.

My comment was more relating to the facts about the current state of renewables.

The 2 options this comments OP provides at the end are what I mostly agree on, where we either go 0 carbon now and accept nuclear (with its flaws) as base load, or continue with carbon intensive tech as base load and continue to build out renewables on top.

This hits the nail on the head! It’s rare to see a sane and realistic take on nuclear online.

Zoom out to the 5 year graph and it tells another story.

Also such events (which are non-catastrophic) are not entirely uncommon.

I would agree, but I would not want to sleep with them on as OP requested.

You need an incredibly robust quality management system to even achieve certification (allowing you to place on the market) when creating systems which include life support function, or functions which potentially could kill a user. All potential changes both within and outside of the manufacturers’ control MUST be assessed and constantly monitored so such issues CANNOT arise.

No one should be able to legally place an unsafe app on the market, or legally perform changes to the app without the necessary checks and balances.

Medical device approvals in most countries are definitely not the wild west. Although they are not perfect.

The daily mail is not a reliable news source. Your friend should speak to their healthcare specialist for advice on flying if they haven’t already

I mean, I get what you’re saying and all… buuuut the CO2/bomb WOULD be great on an electric bomber.

Are you talking about a pure socialist country, or socialist aspects within any system?
