We're not talking about some punch card COBOL machine he jimmy rigged with network access, it's an old Debian Linux box with SSH enabled.

It's not like Metasploit would have a tough time finding unpatched vulnerabilities for it...

There's way more history and nuance with the current migration crisis facing Europe than I feel like delving into with this comment, so I'm just going to leave you with a quick note about why you're being downvoted:

Intentionally trying to capsizing migrants so they drown isn't the same as "being called racist". Forget whatever opinions or beliefs motivated these actions, this is attempted murder, at best.

So whether or not your commentary would be reasonable on an article discussing immigration policy, it's irrelevant to this article. Which again, is about Spanish police trying to drown migrants by intentionally driving their police boat at, and then over, their small dinghy.

Currently, hydrogen production requires more energy to produce the equivalent amount of hydrogen.

Which is why it should not be produced on a fossil fuel based grid, but is perfect for stored portable energy on renewable grids. For example, converting excess wind and solar power to hydrogen fuel.

It sounds like Estonia is on the right track, and intending to leverage their access to water and other renewables to generate "green" hydrogen. This sounds great, I hope they can pull it off.

What do you mean go wrong?

All of the "consequences" that would arise from a program like this, are intentional.

[-] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Yes, you can.

Russia and Turkey have very different political dynamics than China and Japan.

Also, these types of airspace incursions, followed by intercepts, are pretty standard amongst major powers.

It doesn't mean they're benign, but that shooting down Chinese planes intentionally as a response, is something you do if you're willing and ready for the escalation path to result in open conflict, not simply an escalation.

That becomes moot when it's war, and the coverage in question is about the internal political situation of the people they are currently fighting. The same applies to any country at war, and their domestic press coverage of their opposing force, or country.

Does this mean I should use AJ to source credible information on internal Israeli politics? How about Russia Today for reporting on Ukrainian morale?

Seriously, stop posting wartime propaganda and pretending it's credible journalism.

Setting aside the national shame that capital punishment is, regardless of the method used, they strapped his face with a mask. He wasn't in a pod as nitrogen levels rose. He was force fed the gas with a mask that prevented him from "breathing" normally.

You're using American verbiage, which is incorrect usage for this situation.

Conservatives traditionally conserve i.e. conserve traditions, nature, etc.

This is liberalism, in the classical laissez-faire sense, not the bastardized American usage of the word.

Funny headline, but less dramatic article, and explanation.

There's currently no active sailors capable of taking over for the one retiring.

Using LinkedIn to reach RETIRED naval officers with the requisite qualifications to come back for a 2 year position.

Also, they already use LinkedIn for recruiting in similar situations, although this is the highest ranking officer role they've used LinkedIn for.

It's not surprising that Germany is lacking these supplies as their military procurement is... incompetent, or rather, it's a complex web of insane bureaucracy, poor decision-making, and political interference, all under the understandably long shadow of two World Wars and the Third Reich.

But the Leopard II is a hugely popular export model, so I'm a bit surprised that they can't source parts for repair from NATO members and other allied countries that operate it. Many of which have their own licensed domestic production lines and supply chains to support them.

You realize that gig economy is the neoliberal slang for a poverty class work, but without the rights of workers, right?

So you're criticizing people who are forced by the system in which we live, to be ordered around by a fucking algorithm, and then take abuse from people who have enough money to NOT work in the gig economy, but no where near enough to actually own the servant class they get off on abusing.
