Nah. The issue is way more complex than that and begins in proper training for drivers and ends in some proper road worthy inspections of vehicles so that they at least have their lights correctly aligned and aimed.

There are no such issues in Europe. Sure, you get the occasional double blink from matrix led system, but I’d take those systems any day of the week over some who just forgot to turn off their high beams or has their lights aimed incorrectly

Which is especially sad in Germany, because we ought to have learnt from the mistakes of the past and mastered the art of improving ourselves. The stereotype of a German being overly critical was true for exactly that reason. Apparently the Generation that should have learned it from first hand simply forgot.

They are essential to the survival of the country - we neither have the brith rate, nor the capacity to sustain anything without them. As a country highly dependent on exports, immigration has always been one of the key factors. Be it the Turkish in the 60s and 70s, or anyone else. Being German has basically nothing to do with being born here

I still believe it isn’t that far fetched that they disposed some kind of experiment/test from the labs on the market…

I agree and this resonates - but I’d still choose AMD in a heartbeat, Intel has lost all and every confidence that they do security correctly and it’s only since the 5000 series AMD has…“issues”. We’ve got a relatively big pool of various devices and the 3000 series ones are basically flawless.

However, especially ASUS has no right to cry about AMD, as they don’t seem to be able to fix simple bios errors either.

Better security…

So… You want to turn off the sun? This has nothing to do with climate change, the sun hasn’t changed intensity in a few 100 years, so sun makes things warm

They are and that’s not necessarily exclusive.

As someone managing KnowBe4 for our Clients, I’d actually let you pass with it… ;D

Well, that’s probably a pretty good argument. I wish it would be different…

Personally, I think we need space to solve climate change faster (or rather, the effects it has on us - climate change is a pretty intricate factor of the climate itself, but we need to be better prepared for those changes and mitigate some of them), U.S. politics are very influential around the world and that pick would hopefully influence ESA and their funding more…

From my European point of view, i just hope she picks Kelly as her VP. A progressive Astronaut, Ambassador for UNITED24 and someone that knows that we should save us from the ultimate climate collapse…maybe we can get Alexander Gerst here in Germany to do some politics :D

Not American either, i just hope she chooses Kelly as her VP…a progressive Astronaut in politics is more important than ever.

I didn’t want to twist that knife as well… 😅

Do they care? And from my European perspective, it looks like your Executive and Judiciary is completely broken…

That’s also something I absolutely do not understand…yes, being disappointed is pretty normal in a democracy, it’s always a compromise. But not hammering down the facts what Democrats did this period to actually help every American is just Mind boggling.

Especially 6 Months before an election, here in Germany you can’t stop any politician yapping away with what they have done. (Although, positive or negative always depends on one self…)

I’ve been, too. Even though I’m neither in the US, nor a US citizen… It’s scary right now…

I like to think I can keep the artist separate from their art, but it’s hard.

You can’t, but in some cases the art stands for itself without the artist. Basically, you can separate the Art from an Artist, but not the Artist from the Art. (if that makes any sense…)

Luckily “the West” isn’t just the U.S. - it’s also France, the U.K., Mexico and even Australia…

The west does not have a monopoly on innovation.

Nope - but it does look like we have the “monopoly” of being able to call out bullshit openly and not fear falling out of a window. Or being stabbed.

Would be exceptionally easy for the U.S., the renewable power potential is enormous and making E-Fuels or E-Crude is pretty damn easy. It’s not very efficient, but 0 Co2 is 0 Co2.

But the best part is, it’s actually economically viable. Many parts around the world agreed to a Co2 Tax, making Fossile Fuels increasingly expensive - synthetic fuels, gasses, paraffines all would be exempt. And all those that want to drive 1000 Miles on one tank, do a cannonball run or tow a few tons can still do in whatever way they want…just without Co2. Hell, even the coal rollers can do just that…

Overall however, saving democracy and the constitution should be top priority…
