It's also the leader in building up renewables instead while everyone else sits lazily on their ass crying "why should we do anything when China exists?"

How about we do better than China first and then cry about them, instead of using them as an excuse to fail even harder than them?

On the contrary... anyone able do bridge interstellar distances will agree that the near orbit belongs to the planet.

No, I'm referring to reality, not your alternate mirror-universe version.

The one where militants attacking civilians don't become innocent civilians because you like their terror.

There are always horror stories about poor care in countries with socialized medicine

Yes, you chose the correct term. These are made up stories.

What secretive program? They have openly said that they will get out every bit of oil and gas and sell it. They are also heavily pushing renewables for their own consumption, so they can sell more to us idiots refusing to transition and still being firmly in the grip of lobbyist propaganda. And after that they will produce hydrogen and other power-to-gas-products to us, again because we can't produce them as they are totally obviously inefficient trash not worth pursuing.

Computer-illiterates aren't the problem with Manjaro.

People using the pre-installed accessed to Arch's User Repository and landing in dependency hell or just updating the wrong package with the same result, to then look for help on the forum that is already a big joke and probably forgot to renew it certificate for the 4th or 5th time... that's the actual problem.

Also delaying critical security fixes for security reasons is the biggest bullshit concept ever invented.

Who cares? It's Poland. Their government hates Europe and dreams about reaching a level where they can compete with all those evil other countries' industries (the sole reason to buy Korean tanks is that those promised some tech transfers). They will of course only buy from the US and happily so... also in completely rediculous numbers they can't actually afford, because like any shitty right-wing government running purely on their own superiority and blaming other countries, it's important to have a strong military.

It should not be imposible to enter a class room and arrest somewhere there in general. But there are actual standards and also issues of common sense usually agreed to in France (and a lot of other countries).

You don't run into a class in session to arrest someone there, if you can just get the person called out of class and do it separated from everyone else. Just like you for example don't focefully arrest someone or initiate a chase in crowded areas, if the case isn't justifying the risk to bystanders for the reward of making the arrest now rather than later. That's okay if there is an actual risk right now that justifies making the arrest now and making is fast. It's not okay to do this in a crowd just as a show of force when it could be handled much easier and safer.

That's just common sense of minimizing the potential for any kind of escalation.

So yeah, this has nothing to do with the fact that you should not be allowed to arrest someone in his classroom. It's about general standards in arresting someone, that were violated purely to make a political point of showing their hard reaction.

If that guy has a weapon and is threatening someone, sure. Go in, and go in hard. If the guy has made some general threats and is right now just sitting in his regular lesson, call him out of class under some pretense and handle it professionally instead of making a show out of arresting him in front of the class. That's unprofessional bullshit made for political reasons.

That's not how reality works. The remaining reactors produced less than 5%. But the money needed to keep them running for a few more years -especially as the shut down was planned for years, checkups and revisions were skipped, no more fuel was ordered- would have come from the same budget that is now paying for grid upgrades and renewable build-up. So keeping them running would have had a minimal impact of a bit less co2 now but a massive damage to the transition to clean energy for the next 10+ years. But that's of course a fact we don't want to talk about in media as that doesn't fit the narrative of stupid Greens having killed nuclear for ideological reasons.

For reference: The shutdown of all but 3 reactors was decided a decade ago, planned for years and came into effect 2 weeks before that new government came into office... the ones they were left with produced -up to their shutdown- ~1,5% of all electricity in 2023. But sure... keeping them alive for the sake of having nuclear reactors (they basically did not have any value other than as a talking point) would have totally made sense... in some alternative reality.

I would love to say we can build renewables and nuclear. But let's look at the actual reality: Not only are most countries with a nuclear plan lacking proper amounts of renewables (because for more than a decade an anti-renewable streak was part of nuclear lobbyism - see the amount of people here or anywhere else hallucinating about "expensive renewables" when their own model of electrity generation needs those renewables (and even some storage) to be viable), it's even worse. Most of these countries aren't even able to build nuclear on the proper scale they would need.

So no, there is no technical reason we can't build both.

But real-world experience right now shows us that most can't even get the proper build-up of nuclear alone done. Explaining to their heavily desinformed voters why they need to build massive capacities and also need to build even bigger amounts of renewables seems to be indeed impossible right now.

The other thing is time frame. If the already agreed upon climate goals give you a remaining co2 budget for another 6 or so years, you can indeed not start building nuclear now. That would have been a wonderful idea a decade or even longer ago.

There is actually only one undisputable thing we need to do right now: build up renewables and massively so. To stretch out the remaining budget (via constantly reducing CO2 emission quickly) to 1-2 decades and use that time to a) either build up storage and infrastructure or nuclear base load. The difference is that the infrastructure and storage can be build in steps alongside renewables while the nuclear base load would need to start today. And most countries seem unable to do it, with the deciding factor being costs. Costs they would also mostly need to pay now in advance.

Sure, because reporting on facts is Russian propaganda the moment you don't like these facts. Good to know that most morons actually love autoritarian regimes without press freedom and like being controlled by propaganda. They simply disagree on who should be the one to spoon-feed them their latest believes.

Rarely more than 3-4 per day nowadays, often not even 1. About a year ago it was easily in the double digits any given day.
