Today at the European Parliament, people couldn’t hold back tears as 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv described surviving russia’s July 14, 2022 strike on Vinnytsia.
russia destroys children.
Ukrainian kids are forced to inspire an indifferent world instead of simply living.
The idea that there is any movement towards peace in Ukraine, that there is a diplomatic process to speak of or that there will be a need for peacekeepers anytime soon is a collective illusion in the West. It's a nice fairy tale to help us sleep better at night.
@RandomXftw @grok@JamieBonkiewicz You didn't catch a contradiction, it's an actual nuanced explanation vs comforting oversimplification that fits your bias.
Most people who want more 'socialism' aren't asking for the USSR. They’re asking for something like Denmark, like Grok already mentioned first.
A windmill will typically equalize on the energy used to create it in 6 months to 1 year, they have lifespans 20-25 years. So they actually create 20 to 50 times more energy than it cost to build them.
@Liv_Boeree Wind is negative energy. It takes more energy to create a windmill than it will ever generate in its lifetime.
100% with you on solar and batteries though.
@rmbrodie@realDSteinberg@getjonwithit@HansMahncke SC was actually a critique on applying quantum mechanics too literally beyond its proper scope.
Treating superposition as just an 'unanswered question', where checking creates the answer, gives absurd results at larger scales.
It is no. 1.
@realDSteinberg@HansMahncke@getjonwithit Only an infinite amount of mass would not "experience" space, but that doesn't exist. Even supermassive black holes, it is only inside of the Event Horizon that you cannot tell if the BH you are inside is moving.
@rmbrodie@realDSteinberg@getjonwithit@HansMahncke Only from the perspective of the photon (which technically doesn't have one). We can't observe a single photon in flight without interfering, usually by absorbing or destroying it. Its existence is only confirmed at the point of detection, after the fact.
Over and above below, I’m now experiencing paralysis, throat closing up and angina in response to eating. There are about 15 humans on earth - clinicians and researchers - who will get this. Which doesn’t mean they will have solutions. The extreme aloneness of ME and LC!
