fuck that buzzword of “innovation”, it’s just corpo-talk.

and also fuck the personality cult around habeck. haven’t we learned nothing from history? no personality-cults.

what would you say is “screwing them over the most” in the past few decades?

nuclear energy only contributed about 10% of the total energy consumption of germany though.

USA?

£120 food

that is … very low? i spend 300€ on food each month

also what is “175 council tax”?

also damn, “900 mortgage” (for 2 people) each month? that’s surprisingly affordable.

fyi tourists go to cafes and pay 4€ for a coffee. meanwhile i grab mine from the supermarket which costs 0,80€

it is possible to pay less; people just don’t care.

das ist schon krass, das ist mindestens schwere körperverletzung.

n-tv ist zwar im allgemeinen ein drecksblatt, aber wenn sich das wirklich so zugetragen hat wie dort geschrieben steht dann hoffe ich dass das aufgeklärt wird.

sehr schöne videos dabei. leider nur sehr schade dass es oft nur die 1ste episode ist.

es gibt auf arte ne serie über griechische mythen: https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/080116-012-A/great-myths-the-odyssey-2-10/

ist 10/10 bisher, habe aber erst 1 episode geschaut und vermute mal dass es dann langweiliger wird.

witzig, aber ich denke, man muss unterscheiden zwischen routinetätigkeiten und einmaligen tätigkeiten. z.b. wenn ich in den supermarkt gehe, werde ich nicht jedesmal das feingedruckte lesen. wenn etwa der käse nicht aus milch sondern aus palmöl besteht, dann würde ich das gerne sofort auf einen blick sehen und nicht erst den text auf der rückseite lesen müssen. daher darf das dann auch nicht auf den ersten blick wie ein “käse” produkt wirken.

wenn ich jetzt nen versicherungsvertrag abschließe, dann kann man wohl von mir erwarten dass ich da etwas gründlicher drüber nachdenke, und deshalb ist mir dann auch mehr komplexität zumutbar.

batteries haven’t been built in the past because they weren’t needed, but they’re being built today (look up sodium-ion batteries) and they’re cheap and effective.

btw the reason why denmark and germany are building so many wind turbines is mostly because they’re so far north.

see my other reply in this thread

basically it doesn’t move the moon closer, but it makes the Earth rotate slower. that’s where the energy comes from.

basically the tides transfer angular momentum from the Earth to the moon.

actually, the moon gains angular momentum from the tidal movement that it causes, and that’s what makes it move further away. the reason is that it takes Earth about 1 day to rotate once around its axis, but it takes the moon 28 days to rotate once around Earth’s axis. so Earth has a higher angular velocity, and the tidal movement tries to reduce that difference to make the two tidally locked eventually. ironically, this process transfers angular momentum to the moon (to speed it up), which makes it move further away and thus the angular velocity actually decreases. yeah, orbital mechanics is weird.

(btw this is not a joke. it’s really that way, difficult to comprehend i know).

btw geothermal does not come from the earth’s rotation. it mostly comes from nuclear decay of heavy isotopes in the earth’s interior and the enormous heat capacity of the earth’s interior, which means it’s still warm from the friction heat from when the planet first formed. in other words it’s there since the Earth formed, independent of the sun.

also there’s another (practically accessible) form of energy that comes neither from geothermal nor from the sun: you can pull energy out of the tidal movement that comes from the moon’s changing gravity field as it orbits around our planet. i think that one’s not really being used though because the only way to really utilize it is to build dams across havens and important shipping routes and that interferes with trade, which is considered the more economically valuable activity from the two.

well actually there’s renewable energy on the cosmological scale (look up E. Harris - Mining Energy In An Expanding Universe), at least theoretically. nobody’s ever practically utilized it (afaik).

they’re more economically efficient than nuclear, which means they give you more bang for the buck

there’s hundreds of them, new communities keep being made
