“P.S. We also don’t eat cats and dogs,” Berlin’s foreign ministry taunts Republican presidential candidate.
Germany’s foreign ministry hit back Wednesday at former U.S. President Donald Trump after he criticized the country’s energy policy at the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump slammed Germany in his closing remarks, claiming Berlin regretted its decision to transition to renewable energy.
…
But the German foreign ministry took umbrage at that, blasting Trump in an unusually blunt statement on social media.
“Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables,” the ministry wrote. “And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”
Thats hilarious they’re throwing his own bullshit back at him. Fuck du, Drompf
Scheiße, I knew it was dich plus it looks like dick. But I think his surname was definitely with a “d”. It looked very much like it rhymed with frump-y
You mean most likely Drumpf
Hammering > Slamming ??
This was a waste of electrons.
Their God-Emperor gave them the holy gospel that Germany is the promised land, of rolling coal F-450s asnd diesel-powered cell phones, you filthy heretics dare question the word of the Emperor?!
Please don’t refer to trump as the god-emperor. The 40k community has a hard enough rejecting idiots with no media literacy without people helping them associate the 40k world with their conservative delusions
I’ve always grouped gamers into two factions.
Form over function and function over form.
Personally, I prefer low mechanics to great graphics. My friend on the other hand could care less what the graphics look like as long as the mechanics are sound.
I would assume for most gamers since most people aren’t really into dissecting the mechanics of video games like really strong graphics.
Which is why most AAA titles have really good graphics with very simple mechanics. There are of course exceptions to the rule.
Wrong thread, but I want to push back anyway. AAA games prioritize graphics because it’s easier to market. Discussing mechanics is complex and opinionated. Saying “we have the most realistic graphics” is easy to showcase and objective. The average gamer isn’t educated on the concepts enough to have a discussion about mechanics, but they would understand good mechanics when they experience it.
However, they often aren’t even presented with the choice. The games with the largest marketing budgets are the bland “realistic” (and uninspired) looking games that don’t do anything new because it’s a risk. The games with a focus on good mechanics generally take more risks and have smaller budgets. Its similar to the problem with Windows VS Linux. The average user thinks they prefer Windows, but they’ve never been presented with the choice. When you buy a computer it comes with Windows, and they never venture further than that. They assume the thing they know must be the best option because they are familiar with it, and the one without marketing isn’t given a chance by those people.
Wrong thread. Was this in response to the report that 75% of PS5 owners prefer performance mode, maybe?
‘and nuclear plants’
The only thing I dislike about the German energy plan
Because it’s still the second safest energy source, very close behind solar. And about 10 years ago, before heavy investment in renewables, it was the safest.
This is like being afraid of airplanes because things only have to go wrong once for hundreds to die.
Edit: Here is the mortality rate of different sources of energy in 2012, and here it is in 2022.
There are reasonable and cost-effective alternatives to nuclear, to planes in many cases not so much. Also a plane crash doesn’t leave whole towns uninhabitable for centuries or needs special places to store burned fuel
Yeah no, you cannot compare nuclear Fallout to airplanes flying down. At least Not from a risk Assessment and Management Level. From the nuclear Fallout you cannot prepare against it, when it Happens you are fucked (AS a country). From a airplane crashing you can prepare against that, as the severity aint that Bad regardless who sits inside (be it President, chancellor, CEO, other important person), for a functioning society its not that important as there are other people taking over that Helm. But when nuclear Fallout Happens, your whole people will fall ill to it, ceasing your society to exist. So it is only proper risk mitigation to end the use of all nuclear plants.
Because in many cases the risks are much more manageable than the risks associated with any meaningful alternatives.
Nuclear power isn’t good nor bad, it’s one of many options, each of which may be suitable in a given circumstance.
The costs of safely decommissioning and dismantling nuclear power plants are immense and are borne by taxpayers. In addition, there are high insurance premiums for operators. Renewable energies, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly affordable and make us less dependent on fossil fuels and their price fluctuations.
The future belongs to renewable energies. With them, we can ensure a safe, clean, and sustainable energy supply for generations to come. Nuclear power is a thing of the past.
Would you like me to combine these options into a single statement, or perhaps focus on a specific aspect of the arguments? For example, we could emphasize the economic benefits of renewable energy, or the environmental impact of nuclear power.
