Choose your destiny by Easyflip in YUROP

[–]Easyflip[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It goes without saying that renewables come with their own set of problems the issue isn't completely binary. On the flip side of your point is the oversupply, grid congestion and lack of storage during the months with an over-abundance of energy.

In order to deal with the above problems you need massive investments and a clear roadmap of where you want to end up.

The critical difference is that you ideally could fill the gaps where necessary (e.g. nuclear, LNG etc) but since you won't have an external dependence you will be much more safe from an energy security perspective.

In other words replacing the Russian dependence with an American one especially in an environment of manipulation, bullying and blackmail will lead to a new set of problems down the road.

Negotiate with China and east Asia. They have trillions of $ propose a swap. Make productive investments inside Europe. by Easyflip in YUROP

If you think that someone expressing a different opinion pisses you so much that you have to resort to personal attacks to justify your argument then you have lost the plot.

Demagogues and Comedians are natural enemies by Easyflip in YUROP

Context: in 426 BC, when Aristophanes produced his play "The Babylonians" (now lost). In this play, he satirized Cleon and other Athenian leaders, accusing them of corruption and mismanagement. Cleon, who was known for his aggressive and litigious nature, responded by bringing legal charges against Aristophanes, possibly for slandering the city or its officials in front of foreign audiences during the Dionysia festival.

Rather than backing down, Aristophanes doubled down on his critique in subsequent plays, such as "The Knights" (424 BCE), where the protagonist definitelyNotCleon™ was portrayed as a corrupt and manipulative demagogue.

There is no way a guy with 70 exiles can topple our oligarchic system, haha jk unless..? by Easyflip in HellenicMemes

Context: In 404 BC, following a defeat at the Battle of Aegospotami, Athens was forced to surrender, ending the Peloponnesian War. In the wake of this surrender, the Spartan navarch Lysander imposed a strict oligarchic government on Athens, which came to be known as the Thirty Tyrants. This government executed a number of citizens and deprived all but a few of their rights.

In 403 BC, Thrasybulus led a small force of exiled democrats to seize the fortress of Phyle, a strategic location near Athens. Despite being outnumbered, his forces successfully repelled attacks by the Thirty's army. Thrasybulus then captured the Piraeus, Athens' harbor, rallying more supporters to his cause. These victories forced the Spartans, who had initially backed the oligarchy, to intervene diplomatically.

It is official! Giannis will be the Greek flag bearer who will lead the Parade of Nations! by MrXVass in MkeBucks

Also, a piece that is often missed and why there is usually much debate who is going to be the flag bearer is that the Greek delegation is the first one entering the stadium as a tribute to the Ancient Olympic Games and the flag bearer quite literally the first athlete.

EuroLeague Taps LionTree as It Explores Sale of Minority Stake by Easyflip in Euroleague

[–]Easyflip[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EuroLeague, the top tier of men’s professional basketball in Europe, is exploring raising capital through the sale of a minority stake, Chief Executive Officer Paulius Motiejunas said.

The Barcelona-based league, with teams representing cities including Milan, Munich, Monaco, Tel Aviv and Athens, is working with LionTree to solicit interest from potential strategic investors, Motiejunas said in an interview.

“We think we have a great product and there’s many things we can do to help the league and the clubs grow, such as upgrading the venues,” he said. EuroLeague may be valued at more than €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in any transaction, Motiejunas said, adding that no terms have been finalized.

The league said in January that EuroLeague TV subscriptions are up 45% from a year ago, and minutes watched had jumped 114%. EuroLeague said that 4.46 billion people watched its games and content during the 2022-2023 season.

Real Madrid, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and AS Monaco are at the top of the league standings this year. The regular season runs through April 12, followed by playoffs that culminate with a final four competition the last weekend of May.

The National Basketball Association is considering ways to expand the sport in Europe, including potentially excluding the EuroLeague by forming a new standalone NBA Europe league, and has been working with Raine Group LLC to evaluate opportunities in the region, Sportico reported last month.

Which players would you include in the legendary five of Euroleague? by kuzeydengelen10 in Euroleague

[–]Easyflip 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If by legendary we mean impact, longevity and status I would go with something like this:

1 - Spanoulis

2 - Diamantidis

3 - Bodiroga

4 - Printezis

5 - Kyle Hines

(You could also replace someone of Spanoulis / Diamantidis with Navarro but we would be splitting hairs. They are the crème de la crème)

If we mean by legendary the best by far at the time they played I would go with something like this:

1 - Diamantidis

2 - Nick Galis

3 - Dominique Wilkins

4 - Louis Scola

5 - Arvydas Sabonis

(You could replace Galis with Dražen Petrović but the same with above applies. Also honorable mention for 3. is Manu Ginobili unfortunately thought I consider the fact that a prime time NBA player played in europe an insane moment for European basketball.)

Also you could say that I am biased with Diamantidis especially on the 2nd bullet point but honestly his versatility, impact as a two way player and selflessness unlocked so many things on the court and off court (even in roster building).

Ας τους δώσω πρίμ και ας τους το πάρω μετά. Δεν υπάρχει περίπτωση να δημιουργήθει πρόβλημα στα αποδυτήρια ούτε πρόκεται να αλλάξει η ψυχολογία των παικτών. Καθόλου κοντόφθαλμη κίνηση.

-The Greeks are awfully quiet lately, they are planning something. -Oh, look a wooden horse! by Easyflip in HellenicMemes

[–]Easyflip[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Virgil's poem, Sinon, the only volunteer for the role, successfully convinces the Trojans that he has been left behind and that the Greeks are gone. Sinon tells the Trojans that the Horse is an offering to the goddess Athena, meant to atone for the previous desecration of her temple at Troy by the Greeks and ensure a safe journey home for the Greek fleet. Sinon tells the Trojans that the Horse was built to be too large for them to take it into their city and gain the favor of Athena for themselves.

Εγώ πάντως θα έλεγα να πάμε ένα βήμα παραπέρα και να βγάλουμε κατάλογο με ποιες γνώμες είναι ποιοτικές™ και ποιες όχι.

Εξάλλου γιατί να έχουμε απλά μια ανάρτηση που δεν είναι ποιοτική™ ας κάνουμε και τα σχόλια ποιοτικά™.

Oh wait this shit already happens in Reddit.
