Wow, I wasn’t expecting so many conspiracy theorists on the leftish side of the political spectrum. That’s concerning.

That should never be a reason not to share open source knowledge!

He’s relatively young. I think he might think he has a shot someday.

Then it won’t happen. Vance isn’t stupid, he knows he can’t hold maga on his own.

He’s an asshole and a piece of shit but he seems much more rational than Trump, at the very least.

Doesn’t this mean that Vance would need to approve it as well?

They have long stopped caring about that.

Httpbin has a bunch of other useful endpoints as well

My reason for using arch linux is to have as little bloat as possible. So, pacman. Yay sometimes for AUR stuff, but my need for it is rare.

A ceasefire with guarantee not to repeat aggressions is either a lie or a defeat

It’s almost always possible to find anything amazon offers on other european stores. It’s not a one-stop-for-all, but that’s an unnecessary convenience.

I’m not sure we define unpredictable in the same way. I mean not being able to rely on a continuous source of power (batteries mitigate but don’t solve this issue) is problematic.

I am not sure if you mean it that way, but I will take this comment as a good joke!

My focus isn’t on which type of energy is cheapest. An energy grid that is not predictable is worthless. Wiknd power, solar power, are great complements, but a grid using only those is not viable. Hydroelectric is great, but limited. Geothermal is not really viable in mainland Europe.

I’m worried about a realistic transition from fossile fuels to non fossile fuels. Nuclear is realistic, renewable as a main source in Europe is utopic and unrealistic.

No, what are you talking about? A nuclear power plant takes less than a decade to build.

Renewable energy at the scale of a country is impossible to achieve in such a short time in Europe. We dont have huge geothermal taps, which countries having achieved 100% renewable energy have, and we consume a lot more energy.

Cheaper is great, but it’s not continuous, it’s not scaleable in a short period of time, and requires a fuckton more maintainance capability than a dozen nuclear power plants.

I will reiterate: A full renewable energy grid in Europe is impossible with our current tech, especially in a reasonable timeframe. That’s why instead of solar power plants, countries prefer to subsidies local, individual solar panel installations, for instance.

It’s not a perfect solution, and ideally we would all be on renewable, I am not disagreeing with you there.

But a full renewable grid in Europe is simply not realistic with the tech we have now. A full nuclear grid is.

Keep researching renewable and nuclear (fusion would be the ideal option, even above renewable), but use the best we have now.

We have uranium in Europe. But we can also import it from many countries all around the globe, ao strategically much more diversified than rare materials needed for renewable.

Educate new professionals. Build them securely, not fastly. Still a better time perspective than a full renewable switch. Plants will always be easy targets, nuclear or not. Modern plants do not catastrophically fail like Chernobyl. Do yoh really think France has not thought of the security implications with their plants all over the country?

Now for nuclear waste… Yeah, it’s a problem. Also being researched. But it is little waste. It’s manageable until we have the right renewable tech or nuclear fusion.

As for the cost, again, it is expensive upfront, cheap to operate, cost efficient to renew.

It is much faster to build nuclear power plants that can cover a country’s needs than to fully transition said country to renewable.

It’s expensive upfront. But it is cheap to operate afterwards, and cost efficient to renew. Look at France.

Germany made a major, major mistake when then phased out of nuclear energy.

We have uranium in Europe. We just don’t exploit it. But even if we did not, there is plenty of countries in the world exporting uranium, on all continents. It’s much less of a strategic issue than relying on rare materials for renewable, or on gas/oil.

Nuclear is a much better option in the short and medium term.

And renewable doesn’t solve the supply chain issue, a lot of materials for construction and maintenance need to be imported as well.

Then the 2A is obsolete and needs to be amended out. At least the gun violence issue will see some positive.

Is he? I mean, his main occupation in all the fictional depictions I’ve read and seen is to be a Musketeer… The full name of the company literally being “Musketeers of the King”. Doesn’t seem to be against the elite to me!
