DrunkenPirate , to Chat in Thoughts on the Debate: We're doomed.

Don’t know if that helps you - here in Europe it doesn’t look better. In all countries you can choose between the crazy, the stupid and the as-always. I‘m afraid the politics machine transforms you in one of those or scares away the motivated.

DrunkenPirate , to micromobility - Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility in I tested a hydrogen-powered bicycle. Is this the future?

It has the big advantage of easy long term energy storage. You can store power made by PV in summer and use it in winter.

DrunkenPirate , to Europe in Hundreds of protesters attempt to storm Tesla factory near Berlin

I don’t get it. For me it seems like „it’s not 100% the best way, so you have to stop it.“ Sure, a car-free, equal society that treats nature as family is the way to go. But why do they try to kill the first movers? Because Elon Musk is a weirdo? Why not stopping the coal diggers a few kilometers to the east? Or the chemical plants to the south first? That’s such a brain fuck.

DrunkenPirate , to Superbowl in A Chance Meeting : Young Screech Owl

Cheers 😁

DrunkenPirate , to Superbowl in A Chance Meeting : Young Screech Owl

Schlafzimmerblick. Brrrrr.

DrunkenPirate , to Vegan in TIL cows are fed “poultry litter” – "a mix of poultry excreta, spilled feed, feathers, and other waste scraped from the floors of industrial chicken and turkey production plants."

I worked for TV back in these days s and we interviewed some Industry lobbyists. The common blabla as the camera was on. Typically, they tell you the entire story if the camera is off. And those stories are quite complex without Good-Bad - that’s why it’s too complicated for a 20 sec news shot.

They told us that the industry is feeding dead animals to cow’s because of the needed minerals and the costs. They can easily replace it by natural minerals, but that would raise the costs of meat. And consumers mainly choose by price. I think it’s too easy to blame the customers only. The industry is responsible as well.

I learnt two points: The industry won’t change and it will happen again - with different names and issues.

Second point: I‘m part of the issue as well and if I change my way of living, it’s better for animals and nature.

(And: As journalist you become cynical after a while. What you see in TV is a fraction of reality. Reality is just too complex for TV)

DrunkenPirate , to World News in Thailand’s economy is falling behind its Southeast Asian peers Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia amid growing middle-income trap fears

One of the few countries that never have been colonized by the West.

DrunkenPirate , to Deutschland in Europawahl 2024: Bekanntgabe der zugelassenen deutschen Parteien und Abgeordneten

Interessant ist ja die Grundströmung, die man aus den Namen der neuen Parteien rauslesenden kann: Umwelt-Tier-Europa-Liberal versus National-Kleinbürgerlich. Beide Strömungen sind größer. Es kommt vermutlich auf die bewegliche, unentschiedene Mitte an.

Man könnte da auch Stadt vs Land, Akademisch vs Handwerk, Jünger vs Älter reininterpretieren.

DrunkenPirate , to Geography in Not such a bright idea: Cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space is a dangerous distraction

Honestly, I can’t see that we speed up somewhere. All I read is that last year was a new high in CO2 emissions. There‘s simply no time to buy anymore. I assume Geoengineering is the only way we can somehow keep the climate reasonable. Even it comes with additional dangers. That’s how humankind keeps progressing. E.g. Anyone going to stop AI? Or even social media? No!

DrunkenPirate , to News in Very cool: trees stalling effects of global heating in eastern US, study finds

Go out and plant a tree. I’ve done mine 10 years ago.

DrunkenPirate , to Cranes, trains, planes and excavators and stuff like that in Bagger 293, heaviest land excavator in the world

And here’s how the sandbox of those biests look from above https://maps.app.goo.gl/sD3bBKWmZWoocis49?g_st=ic

Please note the city close by - same size as the smaller pit - has 100k inhabitants. And zoom out a bit you’ll see Berlin.

We have a few of those areas in Germany. I hate it.

DrunkenPirate , to Deutschland in Söder fehle die Vorstellungskraft: Kanzlergeheimfavorit Wüst kontert beim Thema Schwarz-Grün

Wenn die sich drauf einlassen, kann man nur hoffen, dass die Grünen aus der Ampelzeit gelernt haben mit so stänkernden Blockierern umzugehen. Da wird ja wohl dann der Söder den FDP Teil spielen.

DrunkenPirate , to DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz in Bauernproteste: Grüne sagen Auftritte wegen Protesten ab – mehrere Polizisten verletzt (Biberbach, BW)

Ich tippe mal drauf, dass das jetzt die Aktion war, die jegliche Sympathien hinwegfegte. Die Bauern werden jetzt Gegenwind erfahren. Bei allen großen Medien gibt es eine klare Richtung in den Kommentarspalten

DrunkenPirate , to Deutschland in "Kann Thema werden": SPD-Politikerin Barley hält EU-Atombombe für denkbar

Bin mit nicht sicher, ob man so weit denken sollte oder lieber kurzfristig. Bis Rechtsradikale in der EU an die Macht kommen, da dauert es noch etwas. Putin hat jetzt eine Atombombe und ist irre. Trump kommt bald wieder, hat die Atombombe und ist irre. Dann willst du in der Mitte sitzen und sagen „Ja lass uns doch mal reden, wie vernünftige Menschen“ Ich würde das nicht machen.

Hab das mal mit so nem irren Nachbarn versucht. Da kommt man gedanklich nicht durch. Der war festgefahren und hat es dann nur verstanden als der Brief mit Rechtsanwalt gedroht hat.
