I feel this is like the least controversial thing to happen in Austrian politics in the last 10 years… There is a long list of shit before this one that the ÖVP should be sued for…

The full, current list is: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates

Adding Turkey and Hungary would lead to: SHITBRICEEU, which I find amusing :)

It appears to be a widely quoted official figure and have no insight on if it is realistic. I am also aware that this does not consider the considerable environmental impact of the disaster, nor the economic cost to clean up the mess.

My comment was more relating to the facts about the current state of renewables.

The 2 options this comments OP provides at the end are what I mostly agree on, where we either go 0 carbon now and accept nuclear (with its flaws) as base load, or continue with carbon intensive tech as base load and continue to build out renewables on top.

This hits the nail on the head! It’s rare to see a sane and realistic take on nuclear online.

I mean, I get what you’re saying and all… buuuut the CO2/bomb WOULD be great on an electric bomber.

Gotta boost that birth rate somehow

Even the smaller competitors like Bombardier would have an interest in this, even if they are not the manufacturers of similar sized aircraft, a loss of faith in the aviation industry hurts everyone too. Plus suppliers etc.

As for the investigators (I know you meant FAA, not FCC), we have a similar issue in medical devices - you need seriously well educated experts to perform the investigations, and it is hard to find any without industry experience which wouldn’t look good on paper. The solution is to try as hard as you can to not have ex-employees audit their ex-bosses, but it isn’t always possible so we accept some overlap. It doesn’t mean these people don’t take their job seriously.

I don’t think this ends in beheadings, but there will (hopefully) be significant follow on effects. A threat to consumer confidence in flying is a risk to the entire industry, all Boeing’s competitors and the airlines will be screaming for the FAA to get the actions right here…

Planet earth is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks.

Sorry, I am seeing a lot of spam lately and got through the first sentence and assumed it was spam.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll delete my comment.

Thanks! I wasn’t clear on that detail!

Everyone is a bit shit here (including whoever came up with that title…). No one “won” anything here.

DoE wanted to use “emergency” measures to survey miner’s energy use, which is likely outside of the scope of the original intent of such powers (which appears to be why the judge granted a temporary restraining order?).

The Bitcoin miner’s claim the data release would cause “irreparable harm to their business…” If that’s not an admission of guilt, then I don’t know what is.

Anyone here understand the politics behind this? Is it just Hungary being Hungary, or is something more here?

Also I don’t see why the Czechs particularly would be sympathetic to Israel’s cause here compared to the other EU states?

It’s because: 1- their racist shit doesn’t seem to be hurting their polling, and 2- the assumption is the other parties will work with them once election day comes, if they keep their 30%

let’s avoid America-bashing

HOW SHIT IS TIPPING CULTURE!
