German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
He won’t be around for much longer anyway. His chancellorship will effectively end december 16th with a vote of no confidence. The one who will likely succeed him (Friedrich Merz, CDU) will do less then nothing for the environment anyway.
What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?
Remember not to be black.
Well, a punch in the face is a pretty clear communication, just with a very limited vocabulary.
Another one that I love roasted
Just don’t try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.
If only the front would fall off…
Personally, if I was unhappy with your posts, I’d just shrug and then block you. Case closed :)

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a “Copilot+PC”) - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.
To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up ‘cmd’ and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)
dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall
to disable it, you need a ‘cmd’ instance with admin rights:
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall
You can just imagine the zombie like voice wailing “Haaaaaambeeeerdeeeeeers!”
A slight misunderstanding, perhaps. I meant why should Google try, as right now Firefox is no threat to them.
Have you looked at the market share of Firefox lately? Why even waste time on that?
It probably doesn’t matter. This type of battery is not all that interesting for things like electric cars, rather more so for things like grid energy storage on a massive scale. Think 1000s of these in a large building, getting charged during the day with excess solar energy, releasing it into the grid at night. Stuff like this is what has been missing to make even better use of renewables.
Too easy.
IF the wizard feels particularly generous, I have more:
There are so many more, but just thinking of them makes me angry, so I’ll stop.
Some regulation changed, and that is great. It is now much easier than before to put a photo voltaic installation on your roof that has a peak energy production above 10 kWp. That used to be the magic barrier beyond which things would get drastically more complicated, beaurocracy wise. Tax hell, basically. So that is gone now, and my SO and me installed a 25 kWp installation on our roof because of it. But let me tell you: it took six month just to get it connected to the net. The local energy net provider did not manage to swap our meter for a two-way meter for six months. We were able to power our home with it, but we could not provide any power to the net. Just because that company was too stupid to click a button somewhere to send instructions to another company to swap that energy meter. That other company was here on an unrelated job a month after our PV installation was done, and I asked them about it. They told me they could theoretically do it right away, but they had no order to do it, so they couldn’t.
On the other hand, very small installations (“balcony power stations”) are popping up everywhere, the kind that are 600-800 Watts and plug right into your power outlet. In theory, when installing them, you should fill out a form to give your power provider the chance to swap your meter so it doesn’t run backwards when you’re not using all the power, but nobody I know ever does that. I am guessing that that also has quite a bit of effect on our power mix.
This says otherwise. While coal (hard coal+lignite) use had been slightly elevated in 2022, it is already below the level of 2019 now. Natural gas use is mostly for household heating, which is usually non-electric in older houses in Germany, so there is some weather related fluctuation there. There are some gas powered electricity plants for emergency use, but they are only fired if there is no other way.
Will it shut down after the seven years, telling you that the software running on the TV is “no longer supported”?
This is not my neighbour. If one or both of her two beauties do not come prancing around the corner within five minutes of being called, half the village will be mobilized for kitty patrol.
English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?
Yeah I know. I had a much longer comment all written out, but after reading it, it was just too depressing and I deleted most of it.
