Careful there, public radio in France fired a comedian for calling Netanyahu a nazi. If they don't like you, they'll say you're an antisemite just to get rid of you…

I thought of that too! Since deflating the tires of SUVs is a bit dangerous. On the other hand, there's a lot of room on those cars to stick satirical doodles. 😁

Do we have to censor the word communism now?

True. I use Arch btw.

Well, think of WHO as the 'least bad source of information", not the absolute truth provider. To get closer to the truth, you'd need to do a bit of journalist work: do a background check on the scientists involved (what have they published? Is their work respected by their peers? Have they been approached by lobbies?) and compare different sources (for instance, look at what the Robert Koch Institut in Germany and the Institut Pasteur in France have to say). But, to do that you might need to speak several languages, but above all, you would need a lot of time for research. So checking the most reliable source is generally the practical course of action for most people.

Really? That's a bit too… intense. I propose "postpone-baby-pill" or "baby-no-thanks-pill".

It's called plan B in the US? We call it "the morning-after pill" where I live. I think it's a bit more self-explanatory.

Like mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius, at 77, in Leipzig?

You should take everything you hear on the internet with a grain of salt (including here). You should really trust the guidelines of your country's health ministry or the WHO. Then again, the WHO has said some crazy shit in the past…

Good enough, you're hired!

Well, citizens living under democraties should really start to realize that human rights need to be protected continously. Once we let our guard down and take them for granted, that's when authoritarians are able to dismantle them one by one.

My dream is to start a co-op bicycle shop/worshop once I finish my mechanic traineeship. But the other trainees don't seem to share my vision, they only care about making lots of money…

 

There are a lot of papers advocating for a switch away from fossil fuels, and even H2 fuel cells, to ammonia based propulsion in transport. It can be used in combustion engines but there's a risk of NOx production. So the greenest option to me is ammonia to H2 conversion or direct ammonia fuel cells. It's got the same advantages of classic H2 fuel cells but without the constraints of cryogenic or pressurized containment of H2. And ammonia has a better energy density. But it's toxic for humans and, above all, marine life! Especially for fish species. So I'm feeling a bit uneasy about potential mass ammonia spills…
