Reminder that the US have never abolished slavery for prisoners and have one of the largest slave population in the world.
That's a false dichotomy. There are more power sources than coal and nuclear.
Also electricity generation is not the only source of emissions. Car traffic, cruise ships, aiplanes, all need to be reduced and can't just be replaced by nuclear power.

Baldur's Gate 3 boss
Wow, Larian really breaking the 4th wall in this game.
One of those boss fights where you really regret having to fight him because he actually has a good point.
Probably still evil though.
Where’s the NATO equivalent

Headquartered in Moscow.
Now think for yourself why Ukraine would rather protect itself from being invaded by Russia than by the US.
turned on coal/oil…
Despite the internet's insistence to the contrary, Germany has not increased its power production from fossil fuels.
It is in fact at the lowest level of the past 30 years

no company wants to say they’ve lost 3% of their customers
Reddit doesn't see users as customers.
They are the product. A number that you can sell to advertisers and shareholders.
the content you like
The content I like is on youtube though
First of, I couldn't find anything to corroborate the experience existence of such a rule.
The article might not be entirely accurate.
But even if it were true, you think customs officials just take your money without giving you a receipt?
And how would underreporting even work if the amount is exactly specified?
"Yes, we fined him for 20k, he paid 10k by card and here are the other 8k in cash."
Bananas are berries but strawberries aren't.
I think this shouldn't be read as an individual call to action as in 'everyone has to do their part and start cycling'.
Rather, it should be a call for governments to support a changing traffic and transportation infrastructure.
It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph
But you don't get that percentage from looking at the graph. You get that from looking at the numbers.
The graph height increases by 300% in the last 3 months 9 days.
Communism is by definition a society without a state, so nobody has ever lived in a communist state and I doubt there has ever been a communist society in recorded history.
but German customs rules require half of the charge to be paid in cash.
What a stupid fucking law.
Never heard of such a rule.
Afaik the reason why he couldn't pay with card was that the card reader was broken.
It goes from ~7 to ~11. That’s not even x2.
Yes but the graph goes from 2 rectangles above the bottom line to 8 rectangles above the bottom line in that final surge.
So visually, it looks like it has quadrupled.
and dissent must not be tolerated, as they can lead to chaos and rebellion
The party is always right
Besides providing verbatim records of who said what, there is a second can of worms in forming any sort of binding agreement if the two sides of the agreement are having two different conversations.
I think this is what the part about the missed nuance means.
Protests need to be disruptive to be effective, yes, but I would wager this either alienates people
What kind of disruptive protest that doesn't alienate people would you suggest instead?
When they blocked roads, people were pissed.
When they blocked an airport, people were pissed.
When they planted trees on a golf course, people were pissed.
attempting to cancel them?
Just how many people did firing her prevent her from reaching?
Disney doesn't want to 'cancel' her, they just don't want to be associated with her.
They don't care whom she reaches as long as people don't think they endorse her views.
Really sad what became of Blizzard.
They provided Diablo II (2001) with updates until 2016.
Starcraft (1998) became freeware in 2017 and received patches until 2022.
Fractional-reserve banking
That has already become outdated, at least according to some economists.
Banks can just create loans out of thin air without having to check their own reserves first.

One should acknowledge that this is not on Netflix alone.
Other media companies pulling their content to set up their own streaming services has fractured the market and made each individual service much worse in the process.
companies like Microsoft are always considering novel methods for powering (and cooling) their data centers
If they are near population centers, they could use the excess heat from both for remote heating.
But mostly adding a nuclear power plant to a data center will require additional cooling.
I mean, it seems they want to focus on the outcome not the reason so the title is pretty much on point.
But where does all the excess energy go?
Down the toilet
So outright annexation.
There is quite the difference between 150/365 and 300/365.
One is about 3/7 the other 6/7 and now look at today when most of us work 5/7 on a normal workweek.
Rosebud
Tbf, talking about the environmental costs of generative AI is just framing.
The issue is the environmental cost of electricity, no matter what it is used for.
If we want this to be considered in consumption then it needs to be part of the electricity price. And of course all other power sources, like combustion motors, need to also price in external costs.
But at least pronunciation is mostly consistent.
In English two words can be written almost exactly the same but sound wildly different.
Looking at you, words with "ough"
it’s a zero sum game. Our consumption is essentially inelastic, because we are all complete assholes
Even if that's the premise there are still other power sources -> more than two choices -> false dichtonomy.
But then, blaming "people who disregarded nuclear energy" - instead of people who don't want to change anything in the face of a historically unprecedented worldwide disaster - seems a bit short sighted.

nuclear plants that are shut off are almost always replaced with fossils, with the specific fossil fuel of choice often being coal.
Being from Germany, I have often read such arguments and at least here that is simply not true.
The decrease in nuclear power was accompanied by a decrease in fossil fuel.
Could that decrease have been larger if nuclear had been kept around longer? Possibly.
But if we are talking about building new power plants, the money is typically better invested in renewables. They're faster to build and produce cheaper energy.
This is explicitly against their TOS. Whether or not you’ll be found out is a whole other matter
Also whether or not those TOS are legally enforceable in every single country Valve operates in.

at the moment every single counrty must agree to a decision
The EU treaties have already changed, so that many decisions can be made by qualified majority.
