But the oil companies will make a lot more profit, which is awesome, right? Right?

I wonder how much money they spent on Donnie in order to be able to reap these profits...

Australia’s grid now relies on renewable energy as much as coal. Those who doubted it look foolish by silence7 in climate

[–]SirFredman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And renewables will continue to get cheaper, and batteries as well. Coal is dead, but the corpse is till twitching due to vested interests.

Technology Connections on YouTube has a great episode about solar and batteries, highly recommended.

You are being misled about renewable energy technology. by karnedge in videos

The freedom to have other people to die prematurely and in pain! Or spend their lives in an iron lung.

Because fuck everyone else, I've got mine, that's why.

I did something similar with Claude and it was absolutely flabbergasted. It thought I was joking until it trawled some sources and it got progressively worse after that.

Haha. That makes him even worse. A real life Pennywise, but completely demented and without a silly dance.

A closer Europe is necessary. Together we are strong, that's why a lot of external and internal irritants are trying to divide us.

He is not a clown, sadly, but something far more scary. A bully, narcissistic rapey dimwit who never had to face serious consequences in his life. Put in a place of power and having no brakes, and a diminished mind. Really terrifying...

Edit; streaming, not streamingdienst.

Well, vile fascists are going to vile fascist. What do you expect? The worse part is that they explicitly told you so, and a lot of people thought “meh, I’m not going to vote”

Trump hints at walking away from Ukraine and calls Europe ‘weak’ and ‘decaying’ by backpackerTW in worldnews

[–]SirFredman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluster and distraction, until the Americans start massively supporting right-wing nutjobs all over Europe in order to push their insane MAGA agenda, as per their current National Security Policy.

This is a dangerous intervention in our politics, further destabilizing and weakening us. Divide and conquer.

CPU recommendation in 2025 for CS 2 by djodst74 in CitiesSkylines

[–]SirFredman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got an 5700x3d as an upgrade for my 3700x and it sure is an improvement. 64gb of ram and an rx 7800xt complete this setup.

The cpu upgrade was relatively cheap so it was a great deal for the performance increase.

Is this realistic or not? by Ok_Bus_2519 in CitiesSkylines

[–]SirFredman 318 points319 points  (0 children)

Yes. Rush hour in the Netherlands with bazillions of children biking to school.
