2months ago CovertCabal did a video counting the tanks Russia has left in storage. He came to 700 good conditioned tanks. Obviously Russia still has a lot more in service. However Oryx has Russian tank losses at 3368 tanks and the offical Ukranian estimates are at 8639 so even higher. The truth is probably somewhere between those two numbers.

However whatever it is, it shows that Russia just can not sustain those kinds of losses and they have to be more careful. Good news for Ukraine.

At least in Europe, there are a few big reasons. First and foremost combustion engines are more profitable. EV require a lot of R&D and factory investment, which is not needed for old school combustion engines. The other part is a shrinking car market. Covid means a lot more work from home and at least in Europe, you generally have the option of doing a lot of things on foot, bicycle or public transport. At the same time, when you drive less you do not go for a new car as quickly. Then you have cost. Due to supply chain issues battery prices have not fallen quickly enough. There was a bit of time, when they were stable. Good news is that they are falling again.

In other words, this is a difficult transition and some car makers are going to fail.

You need two more things to make that work. First of all media needs to be taken away from the rich. Media is easily able to influence elections. The other part is election advertising. As long as you need millions to run an election, you need to work for the rich to get elected.

There are other types of biomass though. Using waste product from food production or gas from sewage plants is somewhat reasonable.

Oh sorry, Jerboa does not seem to implement that.

There is a cross post function in lemmy.

Yeah to spy on the others for Russia. Hungary is blocking every single sanction package on Russia. They do not send aid to Ukraine at all and even block aid shipments through Hungary. They also blocked Swedens NATO membership for ages.

That is not making loud noises, that is being a Russian puppet.

And the opposing argument is that the reduction of badges for NGOs from Western Europe et al. effectively makes it so that the governments of the countries with the largest emissions can control who gets to observe the conference from their respective countries. [

Not really the EU is at 6.2% of global greenhouse gas emissions and the UK at 0.76%. ](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-global-ghg-emissions?tab=table) The more realistic reason is that Western Europe is rich, but also has a lot of different countries. So a lot of NGOs, which have enough money to actually go to COP. Still unfair though.

Bell was initially strong in science and music theory. The reason he was able to actually end up with the first practical telephone, was that he then also learned electronics. You really need both to develop a ttelephone.

Bell then did a lot of public shows to promote the telephone. It was certainly usefull that Bell worked as a teacher earlier.

That is actually extremely common for big leaps forward. A lot of those just combine knowledge from different domains in a new way.

Russia only has $31billion worth of Yuan left in the national wealth fund, which also acts as the reserve of the Central Bank. So needing to sell $7.3billion worth of Yuan to stabalize the Rubel is quite a large burden and with it seeming to be too little, this is a giant nightmare for Russia.

The problem is not if Putin can finance the war, but how much and what he has to cut to do so. That is going to massivly increased the felt burden for the average Russian in the coming months.
