Can’t wait for the whole Musk fata morgana to crater, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…

lol

He does have a wife? That’s the news here…

Hope he has to sell twatter at some point. Not that any good would come from that, but just the thought of him finally eating some shit makes me giggle.

For sure, this regime is staffed with people who have lost all capacity for empathy, probably due to their troubled upbringing. So it would not be past these folks to use actual shipping containers. They could not care less.

I’ll be the last person to defend Trump, his cabinet members or his policies. But looking at that link, it’s clearly not a shipping container, even though the words are used in the article.

It’s actually this: https://www.willscot.com/en/entertain-host

Container offices, which are clearly not meant to house people in, but aren’t shipping containers either.

Netherlands, Rotterdam. 4 supermarkets within walking distance. 1 less than 10 minutes, 3 less than 5.

The signs you need to look for is what happens next. Sure, they knew the optics would be really bad if the police had started slaying into 300/500K people. But tomorrow or next week it’ll only be a few hundred. Or just individuals that wear a rainbow item. Will they ‘disappear’ such as is now happening with darker skinned people in the US?

Fossil fuels are the primary reason we continue to be in this mess.

I’m 100% certain the rise of the extreme right is fuelled by the oil and gas industry. Hell, the extreme political islam has been pushed by Saudi Arabia for decades. We’ve been paying for our own downfall.

Sadly enough, this will become the new normal. We, as a society, really need to look at the role oil and gas companies are playing and stop talking with them.

They are the problem, not part of any solution.

It’s actually insane how the oil and gas industry has hijacked the climate conferences and is controlling the narrative.

CO2 capture, hydrogen and a whole array of ‘solutions’ which are nothing but a distraction from the core issue; this is a criminal enterprise that’s a full-blown threat to humanity.

It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I agree with you. I’ve been running a single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.

The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some power hungty Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to host some media.

Mine boots up at 19:00 and shuts down at 01:00. It has a built in Torrent client that even my partner can use.

2 to 3 percent.

Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.

Yet, it’s the power companies that don’t want this. As it’s threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.

This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.

Still, the shelves will be empty during the summer and who knows also prior to the holidays.

Congrats. You just explained the problem of the West using a food analogy.

That’s not how the stockmarket works, lol.

Here’s a short short about shorting.

Most, except the hard right in the West, including Trump and his sycophants.

My wife’s HP Spectre something laptop became twice as fast when I reinstalled it and removed all the cruft.

Why are Anglo-Saxon ‘conservative’ governments hell-bent on punishing the poor to the fullest extent. They no longer hide the strategy that cruelty is the point! And the general public seems to like it, and votes for it in ever greater numbers, until it happens to themselves, of course.

Can someone explain this to a person who grew up in a Rhineland model based society that is now fast adopting the Anglo Saxon model (the Netherlands).

Indeed, exactly this. They are, just like the nazis did, using the small window of opportunity (where most folks still don’t realise what’s going on) to disable the basic checks and balances our modern system of governance provides.

However, as most of us in the West have such little understanding of how it would be to live under autocratic or even fascist rule, it’s just hard to grasp that we’re mere months away from precisely that happening.

I get where Grue is coming from.
