Yes, you antinuclear scumbags are at fault for this. Just compare nuclear France at 19 g CO2 per kWh vs coal loving Germany at 283 g CO2 per kWh.

You aren't entirely wrong but you seem to be ignoring the progress that is being made: https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...

However, you can see France has had a bit of a head start in the energy transition because it hasn't used fossil fuels for energy generation for the last 30+ years: https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...

You also seem to be ignoring that some countries are actively expanding their use of coal:

I suppose the lesson to be learned here is that the low tech simplicity of coal makes it very appealing for developing countries.

All joking aside, a few years ago defunding the police was a policy that was seriously pushed in many cities throughout the US. A few actually tried it. Not only did it have the rather obvious effect of increasing crime rates

Except you are incorrect about the result. https://247wallst.com/special-...

The results are not cut and dry in either direction but the cities that did the best are the ones that used to the money to help the poor. It's almost like failing to address to need of the poor is a surefire way to drive crime. Of course, that kind of insight requires critical thinking which is something you may not be familiar with.

Richard Godfrey and Geoffrey Thomas provide a meticulous analysis of all publicly available information on the disaster, with insights from many anonymous collaborators, some retired, some still working in the industry. This video wraps up findings from previous episodes, clarifying the causes and proposing solutions.

tl;dr Shortly after takeoff electrical fault interrupts throttle position signal, and the "safety" logic causes the engine thrust level to be reset to idle. The engines restart automatically once the data link recovers, and this took place, but not soon enough to sustain flight. The cause of the short was water ingress into a DC electrical panel, pulling down the bus voltage enough to cause faulty frames in the throttle position signal.

Comment Sounds like "work around me" leadership (Score 1) 46

introducing a different development model that highly favors transparent collaboration between multiple people.

Given that this is a change, I've seen this kind of bullshit "leadership". It basically amounts to, "I'm doing what I'm doing and fuck you if you get in the way of that." This means their own shitty view of how to do things (like insisting on git merge instead of rebasing) and are dismissive of rational arguments to change in favor of, "well this is how I do it." Did you have a large patch that fixes stuff that's ready to be merged in? Well, the leader had a bit of inspiration and merged in something he's been working on a sure it fucks up your code but that's a "you" problem.

It doesn't how much work this kind of leader does, they are still shitty.
