Yeah, that would be a Grimm fate…

As fast as it will roll down a hill. A non-critical mass of plutonium isn’t going to produce any significant heat for the boiler.

Wildly misleading article. Fast chargers are not “creating particulate pollution”. The cooling fans on the chargers are churning up fine dust from the surrounding area, which increases airborne particulate matter. Is this a problem? Yes. But framing it like charging EVs are polluting the air is very disingenuous…

Welcome to the field of engineering! Your first lesson will be; “Tolerances and you”!

Russia says; they just want Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Crimea, and a guarantee that Ukraine will never be part of NATO or the EU, then there will be lasting peace.

This article here just further confirms how much of a blatant lie that statement is. Anyone who believes, that a peace treaty granting Russia those territories is anything but a respite for Russian rearmament, needs their head checked…

3 days worth of food is like bugger all. Worst case I could survive 3 days on just a case of beer.

Otherwise; first day most of the stuff in the fridge is still fine, second and third day there are probably some cans of tuna and such in the cupboard. Hydration is the biggest issue, but most people probably have some beer, wine, soda, or bottled water in stock anyway.

Just chiming in, because I had never heard a water heater referred to as a “geyser” before. I was very confused about the application of an electrically heated hole in the ground.

The link you decided not to follow gives a lot of context. Although in French, which I do not speak.

These people weren’t murdered at Dachau. They are being cremated there, after dieing aboard the prisoner transport train from the Royallieu-Compiègne internment camp.

The German Wikipedia about the Sonderkommando photographs describes those as the only surviving photos taken by prisoners inside the camps.

Harris ist NICHT DIE MAMA!

I love how the “drone to the helicopter blades” cheese-move from War Thunder has basically become a real life war-time strategy. It seems to be surprisingly effective.

I’m sorry, but that last sentence sent me. 🤣

Sweet! What does mine say?

Thanks! I hate it…

How do I delete someone else’s comment?

Perhaps a Doro? They have both dumb-phones and simplified smartphones. https://www.doro.com/en-gb/products/mobile-phones/

It shouldn’t be river plastic either though. That’s just pushing the problem back a step instead of solving it outright. It’s a step in the right direction, but it shouldn’t end up in the rivers either…

Yes. That is why I said that I support them.

We cannot fix the fact that the patch is there no. But we most certainly can fix continuing supply of garbage to it. That is exactly the argument I put forth in a different reply. “Oh well; we can just fish out the garbage, so we don’t need to fix the underlying issue of single use plastics.” Complaining about the origin of the pollution is very much not missing the point.

I very much doubt the goal of an organisation like “The Ocean Cleanup” is to get to pick up garbage in perpetuity. I would very much hope, that its end goal is to outlive its own usefulness.

No of course not. It’s the people who have an interest in keeping plastic around, who I fear might use an excuse like that.

How in the heck do you mean? I’m happy for the accomplishment. It’s excellent work. I’m just angry that said work is necessary in the first place.

No one specifically, but in a lot of cases it feels like certain interest groups, tout projects like this as the be all and end all of solving the issue. I just fear for a sentiment where people go: “Look at what “The Ocean Cleanup” is doing! We don’t need to abolish single use plastics. Any that end up in the environment is simply picked up!” That is of course a bit of a caricature, but at this point my trust in humanity as a whole, is not very high…
