Wow, just came here from the cross-post on conservation. I thought that thread was bad, but this thread here is straight up horrible. Sure, blame the vegans. I don’t even expect to get anywhere here.

Why is everyone joining the anti-science movement as soon as it comes to eating-habits?

Thanks!

Damn, that sounds like something to satisfy the doomer in me. Do you happen to have a link?

Hab mich schon gewundert, ob ich was verpasst habe, und das zwischenzeitlich nicht mehr so war. Zeitweise wurde (oder passiert das auch immer noch?) auch tagsüber in ICEs an der grenze kontrolliert

Since we’re already drifting off topic - all big tech companies make a lot of money by selling hardware, compute, or some other service to the oil and gas industry, they just don’t go out bragging about it. Before the AI boom the oil and gas industry was among the biggest customers of the tech industry, just a quick search gives:

Probably. Anecdotally I can say that I have an Eastpak backpack that served me well for the last 15 years, and still does. However I’ve recently been shown this beautiful website, which I think fits this community pretty well:

Granted, they even kind of say, that Eastpak is still good, and I also couldn’t recommend other brands.

Completely agree, saying that solar is heat sensitive when talking about not being able to power ACs is pretty far out there.

Adding to what you said, ambient temperature only has a slight impact on solar’s efficiency. Solar’s efficiency usually mainly goes down due to self-heating which is due to higher irradiance. So in some sense they are less efficient because they generate more power.

However your example numbers are way off, solar panels generate much more peak power during summer than during winter, they aren’t close to being similar (depending on lattitude, but I guess that’s a given when talking about “summer” and “winter”).

And the other part that should not be overlooked is that there tends to be some correlation between hot weather and long sunshine, which can also be seen in the plot. So not only is peak power of solar higher during the time when heatwaves are more likely, they also generate power longer.

Und ich dachte mir letztens, wann es wohl handys mit eingebauten vapes gibt. Kann dann ja nicht mehr lange dauern.

Der Plot oben ist einfach nur die absolute Differenz zwischen den Prozentpunkten “hohe Bildung” minus “einfache Bildung”? Wer zum Teufel dachte, das ist eine gute Methode, das zu visualisieren? Damit ist der Unterschied bei kleinen Parteien zwangsläufig kleiner.

Es gibt da keine Zielgruppe. [citation needed]

Selbst wenn das Morgenmagazin nicht explizit eine Zielgruppe ansprechen würde, hieße das noch lange nicht, dass es keine “Zielgruppe” gibt.

Wie du schon schreibst

das sind vor allem Familien mit Kindern

die müssen in der Redaktion doch zumindest eine grobe Vorstellung haben, wer ihr Publikkum ist. Das ist nicht mal als Kritik an Ikkimels Auftritt gemeint, sondern Verwunderung über die Entscheidung der Reaktion.

My gaming machine is still using DDR3. Never really saw a reason to upgrade, games mostly became more demanding in the graphics-sector, even the first-gen i5 is doing reasonably well with most games, even newer ones. And if not, I blame badly optimized games.

RAM speed usually is the last thing you have to worry about in games.

In case you are being serious, there are ways around faulty RAM sticks, usually just a few cells/rows are affected. In case anyone needs to know this, here is a pretty good summary on stackoverflow on how to deal with this on linux. In general, look for “memmap”.

Keep your hardware running as long as possible! Iirc newer RAM is unfortunately somewhat more susceptible to failing. My DDR3 is still working fine.

Hell yeah, another fellow user of DDR3. It’ll live forever!

I don’t really see a reason to upgrade, my i5 from 2009 is still running fine. Damn, now that I’m writing it out, that does sound old

Ah, mir ist jetzt erst aufgefallen, dass ich deine Aussage missverstanden habe, tut mir leid, war keine Absicht.

Ich dachte beim OP gehts bei der Regulierung der Raumfeuchtigkeit um ein gutes Raumklima. Im Endeffekt ging’s mir ja auch nur um die Darstellung, dass “Lufttrocknung = Regulierung der Raumfeuchtigkeit” bei Klimaanlagen eine etwas merkwürdige Darstellung ist. Bin wohl etwas übers Ziel hinaus geschossen.

Es wäre mir neu, dass Häuser ohne Klimaanlage alle vom Schimmel befallen sind. Das wäre auch reine Symptombekämpfung. Willst du im Keller im Winter eine Klimaanlage laufen lassen, damit die feuchte Ecke nicht schimmelt?

Abgesehen davon ging es um “regulieren”. Klimaanlagen ziehen durchgehend Feuchtigkeit aus der Luft, das ist kein “regulieren”. Lehm bzw. Ton “reguliert”, in dem Sinne, dass sie Feuchtigkeit auch wieder abgeben, wenn der Raum zu trocken ist, also die Luftfeuchtigkeit auf einem gewissem Niveau halten.

This is your example of capitalism working? Then I don’t want to see it failing.

Das würde ich nicht als “regulieren” bezeichnen

You have to do a bit more than just open the website and immediately dismiss it. Granted, it’s in German, but clicking on the individual reactors gives you a list of incidents there.

If you want something more condensed, here is a list of incidents in

Germany https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_meldepflichtiger_Ereignisse_in_deutschen_kerntechnischen_Anlagen

or Europe https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Störfällen_in_europäischen_kerntechnischen_Anlagen

though also only available in German. Just because an incident does not make it to the news, does not mean that no radiation was leaked.

Sure, I basically agree with everything you said. The thing is that even without data centers we’d be in this mess. I’m not trying to defend them, they definitely undo the little progress that was made. However, Trump would have undone the regulations with or without the data centers.

It’s just that it’s not only data centers that are fast tracking climate change. I mean… gestures broadly at everything basically everything is fast tracking climate change.

I guess you definitely are right in the sense that it’s one of the sources that’s among the easiest to get rid of.
