Well, USA is quite dominant and their imperial politics have been permeating across the world for quite some time.
Europe should probably focus inwards and try to gain more independence from outside actors. EU can do it, mostly, it just doesn’t want to because milions of voters cannot outvote a lobbying company.
Okay, I give on the first part, but not on the second.
Farms consume quite a lot of electricity actually, and often electrical grid must be enforced more for a farm than for a suburbs.
While I understand that China gets much hate for not respecting american copyrights or patents, copying them in Europe might be the right choice. USA is mostly patent trolls anyway
I have explanation, but you will not like it.
Parking lots have been built on cheap. Those who have roofs can’t support any added weight, while those who do not have roofs are far away from any serious electrical connection able to give the energy outside.
The whole idea can be done… on new parking lots.
Also - how about instead we build more water-plant power storage? They pump water to the upper reservoir using electricity in the middle of day, and then produce electricity from flowing water at dawn/dusk/night. This would up the demand for electricity when solar panels are overproducing it and push businesses to consider including solar panels in their constructions.
I would be more interested in EU-wide firewall that blocks all advertisements from outside. Just a little quality of life.
Being able to browse the web without being exposed to disturbing material without consent
Advertisements on the internet are very disturbing…
Except bots will be “verified 30-something human persons” quicker than the most tech-literate human manages to go through verification.
Adding to what Pommes_fur_dein_Balg said.
Political movement originally pushed for responsibility of social media platforms over content they show, when such content is moderated by them. For example if you subscribe to crackpot theorists rambling about secret vampire society controlling the world that’s on you, but if social media shows you this content without subscription or annotation that this is misinformation as “recommended”, that is on them and they should be penalized by the law.
But of course money wins over people and lobbyists managed to re-scope the idea into “systemic age checks”, pushing responsibility from companies onto consumers and topic from misinformation to protection of minors.
In the end one can either assume it’s a honest advertising agenda to show people more targeted ads (showing twice the amount of toys to kids) or you may form suspicions about why rich and powerful want to know who online is a minor after their precious island got busted.
Damn, this works on you.
China institutionalized what USA prefers to make private.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
I wonder how much of that oil is just used to send planes flying.
To be honest… electric field you are surrounded by every day most likely affects you more than position of Saturn on the night sky… But people who claim that new tech is causing medical issues are considered crackpots.
Believing in astrology is much safer.
Bar to become enemy of British crown is getting lower and lower…
Top be fair, it’s quite likely that half the stories of vampires are really about people like this.
Just imagine, you are visiting someone important. They do anything violent, they aren’t particularly hostile. Just being in their house or around them makes you tired quickly for no apparent reason. You return to your home exhausted and pale.
Yup, must have been a vampire.
Yeah. Democracy kinda forces lesser evil, no? Like you can’t find politician that has platform of any value to you, but everyone tells you to vote regardless, so you end up voting for whoever looks like a lesser evil.
