Yes, I concur. Have been coming to the US since 1992, no more. The last time was 2023 and I don’t forsee anytime soon I’ll be returning.

Hope he has to sell twatter at some point. Not that any good would come from that, but just the thought of him finally eating some shit makes me giggle.

Netherlands, Rotterdam. 4 supermarkets within walking distance. 1 less than 10 minutes, 3 less than 5.

Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don’t need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump’s shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he’ll be put out of power.

Sadly enough, this will become the new normal. We, as a society, really need to look at the role oil and gas companies are playing and stop talking with them.

They are the problem, not part of any solution.

It’s actually insane how the oil and gas industry has hijacked the climate conferences and is controlling the narrative.

CO2 capture, hydrogen and a whole array of ‘solutions’ which are nothing but a distraction from the core issue; this is a criminal enterprise that’s a full-blown threat to humanity.

The law doesn’t apply anymore. Who’s going to enforce it?

It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I agree with you. I’ve been running a single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.

The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some power hungty Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to host some media.

Mine boots up at 19:00 and shuts down at 01:00. It has a built in Torrent client that even my partner can use.

2 to 3 percent.

Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.

Yet, it’s the power companies that don’t want this. As it’s threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.

This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.

Still, the shelves will be empty during the summer and who knows also prior to the holidays.

Congrats. You just explained the problem of the West using a food analogy.

Nice. Keep posting more pics, they deserve that!

Most, except the hard right in the West, including Trump and his sycophants.

My wife’s HP Spectre something laptop became twice as fast when I reinstalled it and removed all the cruft.

Why are Anglo-Saxon ‘conservative’ governments hell-bent on punishing the poor to the fullest extent. They no longer hide the strategy that cruelty is the point! And the general public seems to like it, and votes for it in ever greater numbers, until it happens to themselves, of course.

Can someone explain this to a person who grew up in a Rhineland model based society that is now fast adopting the Anglo Saxon model (the Netherlands).

Which sort of sums this whole regime’s work up, doesn’t it?

Don’t call it an ‘administration’, that normalises the situation. There’s a regime that installed itself via a coup, disguised as a ‘normal’ presidential election that was ‘won’.

It would be hilarious to see this regime shooting itself in both feet before shooting itself in the head, if this weren’t some route to a full-blown ‘eMerGENcy’ which they can then use to deactivate democracy all together.

Every. Accusation. Is. An. Admission.

Well, except their own.
