  • That’s wrong, nuclear doesn’t equal zero CO2, not even close. There are no emissions from producing electric power, but tons of emissions building the plants and reactors, mining the fissile materials (which in large come from Russia, btw), transporting the materials, etc.
    Granted, if you’re calculating that into renewables, there are emissions, too, but far less per kWh.
    Also, nuclear’s fucking expensive.
    And the “hurt themselves in confusion”-move wasn’t to shut down the NPPs (it was originally planned to phase out of coal and nuclear while building up renewables and using gas during the transition), it was to stall the phaseout of coal, expand on gas relying on Russia while halting the expansion of renewables and utterly destroying the PV industry. That’s what a conservative government does to you. Thanks, Merkel.

  • I couldn’t find any statistics about the frequency of spam calls in Germany, so I can only share my personal experience. I have never received a single one since having my own number. My parents got more when their number could still be found in the public phone book (yes, that is/was a thing). Friends complain maybe twice a year.

    I am not a relevant example though, I am very cautious about giving out my number, usually I only do so when absolutely necessary and I often don’t use services (like dating apps) if they don’t let me without verifying my phone number.







  • I had a similar exercise during rehab from surgery e few years ago, walking through chest-high water but in a swimming pool. It was great for getting back on track after injury, joint-friendly (especially considering my weight) and the water temperature helped cooling down while exercising. 10/10 recommend.


  • Yes, of course a product that is less available, more expensive and has potentially more hurdles to obtain will be bought less, but that’s not what I meant and these things are specific to sweden and don’t necessarily apply to the rest of Europe.

    Tesla being a company with shitty morals and being owned by an asshole is nothing that influences buyers’ decisions enough large. Look at other brands that build their cars with forced labor in china. Are people buying fewer of those cars?
