That’s why France 's De Gaulle wanted its own bomb in the first place: he was convinced the US would not risk mutual annihilation if the USSR really invaded western Europe. See also how shy the west has been shy with supplying Ukraine because Russia kept threatening to use a nuke in the area.
France nuke’s umbrella for Greenland would be but a PR op only. Neither Macron nor anyone after him would ever nuke the US over Greenland.
After all, wxthout proper ID, there is no reason to believe they are ICE and not some street gangs in the kidnapping for ransom business.
Well, they’re supposed to snatch innocent people, kids, break apart families, so I think it’s granted they must be some kind of sadistic psychopaths.
After that, the way they try to get around the illegality of what they’re doing suggests they’re also very, very, very dumb.
“Well… if they promise that this time it will be different and they will only deport criminals and not the others…”
But so you know well that a party committing to change the voting system will have a change of heart after realizing the current system brought them to power. (I’m in Canada too ;) ).
This illustrates the issue of having only 2 political parties. You used to have left and right. Then the right extended all the way to batshit crazy nazi while losing touch with the centre-right, and it collapsed to keep only t̂he nazis. Meanwhile the “left” extended to centre then all the way to the economic right.
Now you have a nazi party and an everything else party, and people ask the last to “get their shit together”, as if socialists would sort out their differences with neo-liberals and conservatives over a quick diner and build a common ground plan.
That just can’t work.
The only good answer to that:
“No, that won’t happen. So I guess we’re in this for another year. Here’s the list of wapons that we will deliver to Ukraine, as well as spare parts and ammo that go with them. And here’s the list of new sanctions we’ll apply against Russia. See you next year, except if you have a change of heart”.
But that’s not going to happen…
It’s the second attempt for Greta. The first ship was sunk, probably by a drone. This time there is more press coverage though, so maybe this time they won’t risk killing anyone.
I clearly remember these concerns being reported when Musk got the antennas installed in the first place.
Now is the time to remind everyone involved about this very minor issue that was never addressed.
That’s also my understanding: “Javascript is great because you can use other languages and then transpile them to JS.”
May I humbly propose an alternative…

In another video, one was demonstrating how easier it was to cross streets with the same accessory.
Ok with that, but you also need to remove other cars from the road. Every time I’ve been stuck in traffic, it was because there were so many other cars. This has got out of control! Who are all these people and where are they all going?!?
Being factually incorrect is not an opinion. It’s being factually incorrect.
But knock yourself out: X does not censor, Earth is flat, whatever you want to believe…
That’s because you don’t have a billionaire’s brain. They’re somewhere between “I don’t give a damn about these people” and “LOL! Look how I stiffed these losers!”
Yeah, me too. But first I had to count to infinite to make sure the decimal parts of these would fit.
“I absolutely fucking refuse that any of the money I pay in taxes be used for anything but my own benefit.”
Your best chance to kill a gorilla in a fight is probably to move so much air around him that he catches a f*cking cold and dies from it. If you don’t actually touch him you may even have a non-0 survival chance as he ignores you.
Trees provide shades that cool down the cities. These algae don’t. The main benefit of these “liquid trees” is to reduce pollution. You know what reduces even more pollution? Electrification and public transportation. Combine both. You’ll need much less space for motor vehicles lane inside the city and no need for “depolluting” inventions. Add some bike lanes and you’ll still have plenty of space for trees. They’re better looking and will do the cooling job.
So, as I was saying: praising a less efficient solution that may bring new unexpected issues down the road because the efficient solution requires people to change.
The issue with trees is you need to adapt the city to them, you can’t adapt them to the city. And people have proven once and again that they would invent anything to not move by an inch when our way of life is put in question.
So we push forward with absurd solutions one after the other: carbon capture, atmospheric geo-engineering, a damned nuke in antarctica, and now “liquid trees”.
Because the alternative is to change our ways, and we can’t face that.
It’s not just the funding, it’s the business overall. Public companies need to show growing revenues year to year, and worse: growing revenues with a minimum yield. A product can grow by attracting more users up to a certain point. Then the only way to grow is by making more money out of the same users base. If the revenue is based on ads:
Freemium is not always working well and Meta never used it. They have no new great idea to extend the product without eating their other products users bases. So the only one left is more ads.
Funding is not the issue, for-profit companies are. Non-profit is the way to go. Federation is even better as individuals/families/small organizations can run their own servers.-
