China flooding the market with cheap EVs still makes the rich richer... Just different rich people in a different country.

Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

Don't worry, I usually don't (and I didn't say "the Jews", just "Jews" - big difference, since a "the" in front of it would imply that it's all while without "the" it's just a part of them).

It just was needed in this context for the sake of my comment (the irony would be harder to understand otherwise).

I apologise

If they really do that the irony of Jews doing ethnic cleansing would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I have no idea about the damage and expected costs so I can only judge from a psychological site:

A wise woman (my psychology teacher when I was in school) once told me that when you think about if you should spend money on something that brings you happy memories, you should just do it because those happy memories are what makes you feel happy at the end of your life (and helps you when you are going through a rough time).

So while it likely is the better financial decision to get a new bike, you'll always remember fixing your bike and keeping it going. It's something you achieve. It makes your bike special, it'll make the memories you make with your repaired bike special. You're of course spending money on repairing and maintaining your bike, but at the same time that money goes into good memories.

*assuming you fix it yourself. If you just let someone else repair it that special effect won't be there

Leute, denen es schlecht geht, haben weniger zu verlieren. Sie sind daher grundsätzlich eher bereit "Alternativen" (badum-tss) auszuprobieren.

What happened to notepad?

  1. Rock is in the floor

  2. Ice age ends, water floods dirt around the rock away

  3. Rock either rolls down or stays

We have lots of these in Austria and at least here this is how they became like that.

I'm no expert so I don't know what causes more damage, but the production of photovoltaic cells also is by no means environmentally friendly. People die, ecosystems get destroyed, ...

And people argue that birds fly into wind generators and die, idk how much damage that is comparatively but probably the least. So from an environmental perspective, as a layman, I'd rank them wind > water > sun > non-renewables (nuclear > gas > coal).

But wind (and sun) always changes, so it's impossible to only have wind (and sun). You need:

  • Something stable that carries a large percentage (for example water in rivers or at the end of lakes (so basically at the start of a river)).

  • Something flexible that can quickly be increased or decreased (for example pumped hydro storage power stations, bonus points there for also being able to use energy when there's too much wind/sun; or non-renewables (burn more gas, get more electricity))

So even if we assume that wind and sun are better than water we still need either water or non-renewables. I'd say that's an easy choice.

I can't wait for the glorious future - one day this won't be unrealistic anymore.

Sadly all power generation methods come at a cost. What would you suggest?
