Germany plans to halve military aid for Ukraine
  • ffs people can't even read the second sentence in the excerpt.

    The rest of the money comes from the frozen assets interest. Ukraine is not getting less.

  • If biden drops out who would you like to see replace him and why?
  • Only one person can replace Biden at the top of the ticket. Harris. This is something I fear not many understand. The time for any other person at the top of the ticket was ~a year ago.

    Also the whole "Biden must step down" seems to be media created. Check 538's projections - Biden is already ahead again after the debate slump.

  • Introducing Proton Scribe: a privacy-first writing assistant
  • The negative, since I couldn't see it:

    Chromium-based browser. Support for the Proton Mail desktop app will come at a later date.

    Is it technically not possible on Firefox? I would've expected a large overlap between caring-about-privacy and not-running-chromium amongst your customers :/

  • Introducing Proton Scribe: a privacy-first writing assistant
  • This is the right way to do it. Kudos!

  • Just Stop Oil supporters found not guilty in petrol pump case
  • decommissioned the petrol pumps by breaking the display glass and covering it with spray paint

    That's where protests stop and terrorism begins. It's also where climate activists lose the support of the general public.

  • Am I ruining my liver?
  • Many countries have lowered the max dosage of Paracetamol from 1000mg since there's indeed a worry that it will cause liver damage. I'm in one of the countries that still go with 1000 (Sweden) and my suggestion would be to use 500mg Paracetamol and 400mg Ibuprofen taken together instead. That's what the medical professionals themselves do.

    That said, something in your life is causing you to have morning headaches and it's a better idea to fix that. Regular painkiller usage is one of the things that causes it (!). Other possibilities can be waking up during the wrong sleep cycle (deep vs light), sleep apnea causing bad sleep in general, overdosing on caffeine causing withdrawal symptoms in the morning etc.

  • Google can keep your phone if you send it in for repair with non-OEM parts
  • When you live in a sane country. I can't imagine this applying anywhere in Europe for example.

  • Google, then vs now
  • The ad-supported web is the cause of the enshittification.

    Yes I'm a paying - and very happy - kagi.com user. Getting good search results is worth paying for.

  • Man appears in court driving without a license
  • Funny as it is, according to some of the comments he actually had had his license reinstated and the issue were with the court system not having updated documents.

  • DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK]
  • This is a good time to use your 100 free searches using kagi.com

    Not affiliated - but after having used mine I started paying for it. No SEO spam. No ads. Just good search results.

  • Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us?
  • We need to genetically modify cats to only hunt rats.

  • ‘I am starting to panic about my child’s future’: climate scientists wary of starting families
  • "this author" being Dr Michael Mann, climate scientist.

    Why do you claim Mann is lying?

  • ‘I am starting to panic about my child’s future’: climate scientists wary of starting families
  • The whole point of the article (written by Mann) is that the policies already in place keeps us below 3 degrees.

    Regarding your "currently happening", this quote seems fitting:

    "I often encounter, especially on social media, individuals who are convinced that the latest extreme weather event is confirmation that the climate crisis is far worse than we thought, and scientists and climate communicators are intentionally “hiding” the scary truth from the public. It is the sort of conspiratorial thinking that we used to find among climate change deniers, but increasingly today we see it with climate doomists."

    Do you consider yourself better educated on climate science than Mann?

  • ‘I am starting to panic about my child’s future’: climate scientists wary of starting families
  • What's with all the climate science deniers here downvoting a statement from an actual climate scientist ... !?

  • ‘I am starting to panic about my child’s future’: climate scientists wary of starting families
  • You might want to read the article. Doomism isn't climate science.

  • ‘I am starting to panic about my child’s future’: climate scientists wary of starting families
  • "Current policies alone likely keep warming below 3°C (5.4°F), nowhere near the “worst-case” scenarios."

    • Dr Michael Mann, rather well-known climate scientist

  • Ah! Might good sir be a fellow Mechanical Engineer?

  • Chimps are dying of the common cold. Is great ape tourism to blame?
  • "The common cold" is a name we've given to hundreds of different viruses where the common denominator is "less severe than the flu".

    "Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in causing the common cold, with rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, adenoviruses and enteroviruses " - Wikipedia
