Unfortunately, been there and got the t-shirt. "Hey, it seems like you've got a lot to work on and I do too, I don't think this is a good time to pursue this"

I don't think I can agree on this take that without this bad actor, Europe would be without concerns. It seems too simple.
Resources are not equally distributed and conflict will always arise from conflicting private/corporate and/or national interests. If Russia was not there, another would likely take its place.
I do however agree that if everyone could think in a bigger picture beyond their own personal interests, we would be in a significantly better place.
I think it's more nuanced than that as the technologies needs time to mature and the supply chains need time to establish. The price of renewables, especially solar and wind, has plummeted faster than anyone ever expected, so arguably it's cheaper (economically) now.
There's also the saying "the best time to buy a house is always 50 years ago, the second best time is now". I don't see much benefit in regretting yesterday's decisions.
Little to none so far. This might change in the future, but not that quickly.
The additional renewable capacity added year on year is not enough to cover the additional electrical load, which originates mainly from 2 things: transport/infrastructure (including EVs, data centres, AI) & environmental loads (more heatwaves in populated cities, where people then need to cool).
As far as I understood, 2024 was a substantial year for the environmental side of the equation, otherwise additional renewables installations would have been able to cover just about all the additional power load.
5 years ago I believe Taiwan had a near monopoly on bike frames. Country of origin laws are quite strict in the EU, so that may have changed.
You've got to call it what it is. We've been outplayed all night and didn't put away the chances which fell our way.
Donnaruma changed the tie, .....and now Sala scores and I'm full back on hopium! Get in my veins 💉💉💉💉💉💉
...and then Partey's two shit touches of the day sends us home.
Fucking get outta here you absolute shite VAR tits
I think you meant to type "in this case, it is!" but your typey sticks got a bit wayward and hit the wrong buttons. Happy to help :)
You mean no software involved, right?
$0.50 says that the "reveal" was part of the study protocol. I.e. "how people react to being knowingly vs. unknowingly manipulated".
System based exclusives meaning you might not be able to play a game you want to in the future, expensive subscriptiona needed to play online, push to digital DRM controlled games.. it's almost like consoles killed themselves?
