Google "Efferman stand". You can also get the parts for that from Aliexpress for cheap.
ah, same in Germany. Cost of procuring fuel goes up 6%. Gas price goes up 20-30%. Amount of tax stays the same. not percentage, actual numbers.But yeah, fuel is so expensive because government taxes are so high. Not because Companies overcharge for it. Sure.
That is propaganda being spread by the jail system in the US. Do not forget that it is mainly privatized, full jails equal lower cost per inhabitant, so more profit.They WANT people to return to a criminal career in order to make sure that they have enough inmates.
it is even worse than weed. Could sniff that from miles away in the university appartment building, but that sickly sweet vape shit is yucky.
The train also damaged the van when he drove through it. So...
Don't know why anybody downvoted you for this, but it appears that a lot of people do not know that artificial intelligence is not intelligent at all, but based on algorithms written by humans with specific intent or under guidelines of the company they work for to server their intent. And can easily exploited by said companies or governments.By using ai agents with your username and possibly even real data of yours attached, you are effectively giving them all of your private data for free
We are not allowed to use US-based services or software from US-based companies that doesn't allow for a full on-premise installation where none of the data leaves our network. This also includes not being able to use any kind of AI tools that use a LLM that is not fully locally, i.e. runs on your machine or on a server in out local net. If it uses anything from the US and transmits data for learning purposes, it will be flagged as a security risk.Has been standard practice for years now.
For years, it has been standard practice for some companies from the EU to only use "clean" laptops when traveling to the US, and then using VPN and remote desktop tools to access their work data. No data will be stored on the laptops they take with them, so if they should get seized at the border, they can just buy any other device at any electronics store and still attend their work meetings. Same for phones.And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
That looks like a normal Elise Mk2 rather than an Exige, the back has buttresses insted of the rounded canopy of the Exige.
and maybe on the existing rail lines, make passenger cars have preference over freigt trains - not the other way around.
They were quite large in Germany too 40 years ago, but have since become extinct. Bought up by other chains, rebranded, closed.
we're at 9,24 US$/gallon in Europe. Regardless whether it is Diesel or standard unleaded. Maybe time to invest in more public transport, like a better electrified railroad network?
naaaa na na nanana naaaa...
operate blind = operate them withtout having to look.Nobody said anything about a blind person operating a car.
yeah. Problem is that most large companies are publicly traded, and the shareholders are often overrun with hedge funds with US ties. They do not want independence from the US which could in the short term lead to higher costs in the EU and value depreciation for the US companies in which they also invested. It is all about the dividend, and the board of directory doesn't answer to the company members, it only answers to the shareholders and gets elected by them. So f* the company and workers
I can only shake my head reading something like this. The democrat party of the US would be considered right-wing in most civilized countries. Far from leftist, or "for the people" in general.
dollar nuclear power plant if they do not get a guarantee that the power they produce will be taken by customers. Because of these guarantees, solar and wind farms in parts of Germany had to be shut down when delivering their peak performance, because the regulators guaranteed other companies that their power production would be bought and added to the available mix. This has to stop, we have to use renewables whenever possible (and use excess to make hydrogen p.ex.)
emissions at all, since they were running alongside them. The coal emissions in 2025 were the lowest in 69 years, so this kind of power is on the decline (also due to costs associated with coal). In 2025, we already had more power coming in from wind turbines than from coal, renewable energies were responsible for 58% of our power consumption. And you really want to push nuclear energy that cannot be scaled up/down fast to match demands into this mix? No company will build a multi-billion-
Where did you get the numbers for the deaths from coal emissions from? I'm really curious, didn't find a source about that. We have studies about a rise in Leukemia near a lot of our former nuclear power plants though, especially Krümmel. Don't forget that almost all German nuclear plants were nearing the end of their lifecycle anyway, so the choice was build new ones or look towards other sources. The coal power plants already existed, keeping the nuclear plants would not have reduced their
"surface disposal" means "near surface" in Europe, which still mandates underground storage. Everything highly contaminated has to be stored in what they call "deep geological disposal", aka deep former mines or something similar, with reinforcements to keep them from collapsing/flooding.300 years for the low-rad stuff is still sth. to worry about. The regulations regarding radioactive stuff have become far more stringent, remember a few years ago "radium water" was thought of as healthy.
What are you talking about? Nobody was killed by ending Germanys nuclear program? We never had any power outages, never had any problems whatsoever, and on a good day about 50% of our current energy needs are produced via renewable sources. I wonder what kind of botfarm spews out such misinformation?And Chernobyl or something similar would be possible with currently operating reactors, since lots of them still are of similar age/design (it was exported to lots of countries). Look at Fukushima.
Bottom line: when a nuclear disaster happens, we are all fucked in Europe. Our region is too densely populated for effective evacuations, any roads would clog up immediately. Reaction times to reach a safe distance are too short. See Tchernobyl, we had to deal with the aftermath for decades (irradiated mushrooms in our forests p.ex.). I grew up being handed out iodine tablets at school and we were forbidden to play in the rain outside for quite some time. Can't happen with solar/wind power.
Maybe it is handled like that in the US, but not in Europe. Even your so-called low-level waste has to be disposed underground here, in safely marked containers so everybody in the future will know what they stumbled upon. High-level waste IS the main concern, it must be stored safe against misuse in a dirty bomb / contamination on purpose as well as safeguard it for what basically amounts to an eternity for the future.Google "castor transport" to see how problematic it is to move stuff here.
err, what? That happens nowhere I know of, and it wouldn't be feasible with contaminated materials anyway. In Europe, everything that has been used within the contamination zone inside a nuclear power plant must be stored and sealed. Maybe the US is more relaxed about this, but that's not healthy for future generations. Then again, the US did above-ground nuclear tests on their own soil, so...
oh and you know that especially in France all nuclear reactors are heavily subsidized by the government in their operation, because otherwise they would be the most expensive way to generate power by far? Google it, it has been well-known for decades if you care to read. The EDF is shielded by the government, protecting it from investments into renewables even as demand for more electricity stagnates.
what kind of scam? In Germany we are self-sufficient when it comes to power, and more than a third is provided by renewable energy sources, i.e. solar and wind power - we actually export that to france atm. Other countries that still run nuclear reactors are in fact dependent on exporting some of their power with the rise of renewables, because you cannot just shut down a nuclear reactor like a gas power plant, regulating it up/down takes some time (especially older ones).
Oh, and all countries subsidized nuclear power heavily. The building of every reactor worldwide was more expensive than advertised. The general populace had to finance the difference through taxes etc. If these costs and the costs for disposal would be put onto the energy price for nuclear power, it would be the most expensive energy source by far, even exceeding all fossil alternatives by a factor of 2-3. Cheapest power at the time is solar, but not constantly available.
How is it solved then? How do you dispose of the waste so that it will be harmless to all future generations? They thought about putting it in abandoned salt mines. Then they realized that the heat radiating from the barrels they put it in and the radiation still leaking out reacted with the salt and created acid that slowly corroded the containers. Basically everything that is irradiated to a certain degree needs to be contained and safely disposed of for 10.000s of years. Still unsolved.
Nuclear power is the most expensive energy source on the planet. Safely storing the nuclear waste so that it won't harm future generations is still an unsolved problem, and has to be included in the true energy costs. In Europe it is paid for by governments because they do not trust private companies to handle this issue. Nuclear was subsidized in the 60s/70s because people thought we would run out of fossil fuels, and other forms of energy generation would rise in cost.
Ah, the ED9 seats. About a going rate for a pair here, some more expensive (but in better condition), some cheaper.Shipping will be the killer though. Especially international packages.
