The weird thing is that the review wasn't even that bad.

found quite a few things he liked a lot about the car.
With a good reaction they could have turned this into a win.
Highlight the good parts, acknowledge the issues, publicly address how you are going to fix them.

Why have one?
The number of traffic fatalities in Germany is much lower than the EU average.
And most of these fatalities are not on highways but on country roads with oncoming traffic.
If anything, other EU countries should adopt the German model.

SO went downhill years before ChatGPT.
Moderators were condescending and rude not just to beginners but to frequent contributors. I used to spend hours just for fun answering questions.
After a few such interactions it just stopped being fun.

I don't buy this. They spend a lot of time modernising their SLBMs and ICBMs. If anything, they have neglected their conventional forces before 2022.
They have performed more SLBM tests than the US since 2020, including a 4 SLBM salvo launch.
The most modern western SLBM is the

They got second strike capability. All major US and European cities would be gone. The rest would die in nuclear winter.
They do regular SLBM tests just like the US. Assuming theirs don't work is foolish.

So where does that idea come from that solar panels can not be recycled?
They are mostly glass and aluminium by mass, easily recycled. The rest is semiconductor grade silicon, which is a thin surface coating, which can be removed and reused.

This is just efficient goalpost moving.

It takes multiple decades and tens of billions to build a small stretch of high speed rail in California or the UK.
Maybe it's not about the technology but about the legal environment?

GPS requires general relativity, which uses Riemannian geometry.
I am sure the sats use all kinds of simple approximations, but to come up with those you had to actually do the math.

Ariane 6 does not even compete on price anymore. It is not a commercial offering. So the thing that it provides is independent access to space for Europe, and Starship does not do that.
Very sad. Ariane 5 was the leading commercial launcher before SpaceX...

You can launch from Spain and then stay over water for 3000km before crossing the Sinai desert.
Do this with a Falcon9 or similar rocket that does RTLS, and the views for all holiday destinations along the Mediterranean will be spectacular.
@MichaelAArouet
Also they look down on Romania.
Whenever things are bad in Germany, they say things like "it might be bad here, but at least we don't live in Romania". Completely unwarranted arrogance.
Yeah whatever, I will stay here in backwards rural Romania with my 1 GB fiber connection.

Schöne Erklärung warum man saisonale Speicher braucht.
Aber H2 für PKW ist trotzdem Blödsinn. Auch zum Heizen nur in Ausnahmefällen geeignet.

True.
But Europe has enough area to be self sufficient. I live in Romania 🇷🇴. Lots of space, lots of sun. No NIMBYism. Enough to power most of eastern Europe.

Radiating heat from the ISS is a much, much harder problem than radiating away data center heat in SSO.

They do something much more extreme when launching into a polar orbit from Florida.
They do a so called dogleg maneuver.

That seems to be incorrect.
For example this tweet is constantly manipulated. Likes and retweets vanish periodically etc. It's almost comical.
They're not "vaccine passports," they're movement licenses. It's not a vaccine, it's experimental gene therapy. "Lockdown" is at best completely pointless universal medical isolation and at worst ubiquitous public incarceration.

A parse error would be just an error, not a panic.
In kernel code you avoid panics like the plague. Not even allocation is allowed to panic, so it returns a result instead.

The amount of bullshit you have to deal with when you want to build a PV system in the west is insane.

Ammonia requires hydrogen, which can be cheaply produced from PV.
Steel can also be made using H2.
Cement just requires heat.
Plastics is most difficult - CO2 capture + synthesis. Still doable.

Using Energiya would have been a much better way to engage Russian rocket scientists than ISS. More useful to preserve knowledge, more useful in terms of mass to orbit for the US space program.
