Speaking from experience, windows will gladly uninstall the linux bootloader without mistakes or errors involved. Pretty sure that’s just what a successful update is for microslop.

Its not like moving out would solve the problem considering that most of the EU is moving to the far right. You at best buy yourself a few years with that while leaving your entire life behind.

“Nationalize it” is easy to say, but I honestly think even Microsoft would do a better job with steam than the US government would.

Ich würde jetzt nicht sagen, dass Frankreich das Problem war. Die Deutsche Bahn pflegt in Gedenken an die damaligen Ereignisse immer noch ihre wichtigste Tradition: Der Winter ist eine wiederkehrende und unberechenbarende Naturkatastrophe.

It would be even worse to have a pure nuclear grid than it is to have a pure wind powered one. You can at least overbuild windturbines and simply shut them down if they are not needed. Nuclear power can only deliver a constant load and can’t really be regulated fast enough to react to the changes in demand happening over a single day.

Because a currency without a stable backing is completely volatile. Sure the value of normal currencies fluctuate, but apart from a few hyperinflation edge cases that’s at most a few percent each month.

Small cryptocurrencies fluctuate sometimes hundreds of percent each month and even the big coins can swing ±20% every few weeks. The only somewhat stable coins are the ones directly tied to real world currencies.

Having a currency that fluctuates this heavily in value creates the exact same problems as the ever changing US tarrifs did. There simply is no wax to reliably price goods and services for more than a few days. You essentially have to barter each trade.

No SA stormtroopers, no camps, no coup plot, nothing like that

These are all things that happen after the Nazis get in power which hasn’t happened yet. If you need proof about that, take a look at the us, they already started doing all of the above and are slowly ramping things up.

At the moment they are riling the people up. They try to block every change that would help the average person (not that there are a lot of those changes being done at the moment), while simultaneously blaming everything bad at any miniority group possible. They don’t have much of an actual Programm apart from black people bad and kill all trans but managed to get one third of the votes with hollow promises and beeing backed by a few of the biggest private media groups in germany.

The Verfassungsschutz (office for the protection of the constitution) considers the afd youth organization a right wing extremist group. While the afd may not be as bad as the nsdap was in its prime, half their members would wish that to be the case, so calling them nazis is fair game.

That advice has a different reason.

We automatically steer where our eyes are looking at. If you are awake and focused, that doesn’t matter cause you adjust for that subconsciously. But if you are preoccupied with something and are driving on autopilot, then that one tree you were staring at for a second too long is the place you are going to end up.

That’s also the reason why people tend to hit the only upright thing on an otherwise empty 5km stretch of road.

If the state of the Scottish energy grid is comparable to mainland Europe, then the prices go up due to increasing cost of infrastructure.

Renewables are a lot cheaper per kWh, but require a substantialy higher up front cost in infrastructure due to their decentralized nature.

Before renewables, the electricity only ever flowed in one direction, from the power plant down to the consumers. A few centralised main powerlines could deliver most of that.

With the increase in renewables that suddenly isn’t true anymore. Smal villages often are net positive, we’ve reached a point where even the medium voltage grid of entire regions is net positiv and the energy has to be transported somewhere else, sometimes even outside the country.

All this requires substantially more powerlines (or at least thicker ones, so still new cables). But more importantly, devices to measure the current load of the grid at all times and modernized equipment that can remotely be operated to respond to variing load.

Not to say that we should stop building renewables. All this infrastructure will be needed eventually eather way, but at least in the short term, investments will be needed regardless.
