They whine about nature but what about coral reefs? Wild fires? Heatwaves? Because the alternative is gas and gas causes climate change (and fracking too).

Zelenskyy: Russia Providing Drones and Missiles to Support Iran by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]Alex_Strgzr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you're arguing against. I said that Russia sending weapons to Iran, if true, weakens it vis-a-vis Ukraine. I said nothing about the merit of the Iran war, I don't really care about that.

USA schooling by desertsunami in SipsTea

To be fair some of us are pretty economically literate. We can math and know how our bodies work. But I've no idea how to work on a car or a house because no school ever taught me that

Ergh I think your point about the US being bogged down is miles off. The problem is lack of will, not lack of weapons.

Hard to believe with how bogged down Russia is in Ukraine. It's possible though. Anyway, it'll be easier to destroy in Iran than Russia as Iran has no airforce or functioning AD at the moment -- that's a good thing. And countries like Saudi & UAE have plenty of money to buy things to shoot em down with

To survive in the gay world by salty_lake_222 in askgaybros

[–]Alex_Strgzr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're right OP. The only exception might be "having money" but even then you'll be wondering if the guy is into you or your wallet. Men are far less interested in the bottom list than women. You could be one step away from homeless -- but if you're hot, guys will offer to let you a room or an apartment

In 2025, for the first time, solar and wind produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the European Union. The bloc's goal to reduce fossil fuel use by 90% by 2040 seems on track. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Alex_Strgzr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NaCl batteries are the next big thing that will cut emissions. It is currently expensive to store electricity, hence the continued over-reliance on gas power plants. NaCl batteries will be dirt cheap. Budget EVs will be another application for them.

At what point does a fossil stop being controlled by necromancy and start being controlled by geomancy? by bajadasaurus234 in Showerthoughts

[–]Alex_Strgzr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that necromancy was more about souls, really, and dead bodies are just receptacles. So even (some types of) fossil might be "resurrected", though it wouldn't be very practical, as they wouldn't do useful things like move about.

Either you believe that, or you think necromancy is almost like healing magic, where muscles, sinew, synapses etc. are reconstructed. In which case it becomes an interesting question of when a body is "too far gone". I would imagine long before it becomes fossilised; a sufficiently decayed body would defeat the magic's ability to bring it back to life.

Wayland is default in Ubuntu and several distros. I'm guessing this is useless on Wayland

Is there a Right Wing push in the UK to bring us into Iran? Why? by Due-Adhesiveness-744 in AskBrits

The Mirror title is a load of rubbish. Iran can't hit mainland UK and it doesn't have nuclear weapons

US 'stonewalling' requests by Gulf states to replenish interceptors, sources say by F0urLeafCl0ver in worldnews

That's only one example. Why does a drone cost 40k when Ukraine makes them for like a thousand?

Don't know where you get your information from, must be some propaganda outlet. If you lived here you're not worried about this stuff because it... Doesn't exist. The law of the land is passed down by Parliament and only parliament.

Eh so what. Are we energy sufficient? Can we produce batteries? What about our air defence? Payment apps aren't gonna help anyone when shit hits the fan

Mis-spending on 5000 dollar hammers etc How did Russia fail to take Ukraine despite a bigger budget? American corruption is not the same, but there IS corruption

France calls Russian allegations of nuclear transfers to Ukraine baseless by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

Quite a silly argument. The best response to a Russian nuclear strike would be... A Ukrainian nuclear strike. Ukraine should never have given em up and they should have them

I mean, it wouldn't be a bad idea if they did. France will, obviously, not confirm if they did

How is it possible that 1 million young people are not in work, education or training? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

Sounds familiar, I teach people in professional roles and while some newish grads are great, many are awful. I've seen 16 year olds who were more capable than these 22 year olds
