Thats straight up wrong.

  1. They didn't retire them early, but decided not to upgrade them. They where 40 years old and needed massive maintenance now.

  2. Germany was highly dependent on russian gas with nuclear as well – even more, if you consider that Germany got its Uranium from Russia, too. Also Gas and Nuclear Energy fulfill a completly different function. Nuclear is not really flexible, so its a baseload source. Gas is highly flexible, which is the reason its a peak load source. Nuclear competes with renewables and a bit with coal, but not with gas.

  3. No idea where you got this Fakenews, but no politican of the german greens was involved in any scandal with Russia – in fact its the opposite: they have been the most vocal anti-Russia party for years now and warned about dependence on Russia for the last decade already.

10 % would mean that more than 9 of 10 research projects need to succeed. The reality is closer to 0.5 of 10, which would require a profit of 2000 % of R&D. Rules like that would stop private funded research. Which is something we can debate, but it should be noted that this would just mean, that countries need to fund medical research, which is currently 270 billion per year, which is 20 % of the US budget. If you want to stop private medical research, you need to raise taxes – plain and simple.

Can't recommend Moldova (Infected Rain) and Georgia (Psychonaut 4) enough! Great bands!

Germany has drastically reduced their coal share, too. Just look at this Chart: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/384/bilder/3_abb_bruttostromerzeugung-et_2023-11-24.png

In 2023 the share of coal decreased to 26.1 % of all electricity – which is close to other nations like the US with 20 % coal. In fact, per kWh germany produces on average 380 g of CO2, while the US produces 389 g, which is half of Poland's 690 g CO2 per kWh.

I know its a meme at this point to shit on the german electricity market, but the sucess in the last 5 years is something other countries should admire, especially countries like Poland who claim to heavily invest in nuclear power, while they are in fact do nothing at all – and except for maybe France. They are 2nd to none in terms of CO2 emissions, even though they pay a hefty price for that.

That's maybe like that in the US, but not in Germany. To this day we have like 50 % contracts that have unlimited calls, 10ish GB of data and a fixed price of ~9 ct per text.

Wir brauchen einfach rechtlich verbindliche Regeln für Journalisten. Es kann nicht sein, dass irgendwelche Länder ihren Einfluss nutzen, um irgendwelche Journalisten unter dem Vorwand der Spionage ausliefern zu lassen.

Gleichzeitig kann es nicht sein, dass tatsächliche Spione (was Assange nicht ist!) unter dem Deckmantel des Journalismus und der Informationsfreiheit Unschuldige in Gefahr bringen (was Assange gemacht hat).

Allerdings braucht es wahrscheinlich einen WW3 bevor wir erneut die Motivation haben als Weltgemeinschaft neue Regeln zu verabschieden.

Finde die Ähnlichkeit zwischen Rambazamba, easy-peasy und もしもし.

Habe in Japan angerufen. Er ging ran 'もしもし?'. Hat er auch verstanden.

Fast travel for example? Either I allow it or I don't. But both decision have a huge implication on the game design.

Of course. The problem with waste is still there and you can also replace Nuclear with renewables, like Germany did. Nuclear shut down, coal also 20 % down, renewables on record heights.
