If they doesn’t want Poland to have its own nuclear weapons, Russian and the USA should put more effort into progressive nuclear disarmement as agreed by treaty:

the NPT non-nuclear-weapon states agree never to acquire nuclear weapons and the NPT nuclear-weapon states in exchange agree to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology and to pursue nuclear disarmament aimed at the ultimate elimination of their nuclear arsenals.

Russia stopped participating in START, that agreement officially expired last month, and there has been no new agreement between Russia and the USA tio reduce stockpiles. Trump is chaotic, threatens to invade allies, so there’s reason to doubt it would defend NATO allies.

So it’d be logical for Poland to look into building its own nuclear deterrence. The solution is to better enforce the NTP, decrease everyone’s stockpile, including Russian and USA’s.

The Heritage Foundation and Epstein’s orange buddy’s goals include defunding science as part of Project 2025.

Don’t expect much science wherever those folks hold power.

I seached the answer online to better understand the meme, and that’s one of the first results.

Sorry if that’s AI generated. I didn’t search for AI generated answer, and didn’t ask ChatGPT, this is sadly what seach results looks like nowadays.

What if the Earth were made entirely of protons, and the Moon were made entirely of electrons?

What about Lineage OS support?

It found beef and lamb were subsidised 580 times more than legumes in 2020, while pork was subsidised nearly 240 times more. Dairy, meanwhile, received 554 times more in subsidies than nuts and seeds.

This shows in shops price. Beef price/kg is similar or lower than appetizers with seeds and dried fruits. The later deserves more subsidies not less, for obvious reasons (lower environmental impact, better for health, longer shelf life).

Yes, water/sand based solutions can and should be deployed today for short/medium term heat storage, ie days, maybe weeks if volume and/or insulation is sufficient.

MOST fluids are promising as they store energy in their structure then release heat. So those shouldn’t loose heat nor require insulation when stored. If they make it practical, it should allow smaller-scale longer-term storage (months). Until then let’s keep deploying existing proven tech.

The platform that works closest to this is https://www.liberapay.com/

It used to allow making 1 monthly payment and spreading it between projects. But they had to change to comply with banking/payment platform rules so each money transfer is directed to one beneficiary from the get go. Meaning you setup a recurring payment per project.

There’s also the nlnet foundation https://nlnet.nl/

It’s possible to give them 1 recurring payment to support OSS projects. But they manage how the money is split between projects and their own overhead. You don’t pick the projects.

Orban is ramping his deceiful rhetoric ahead of difficult elections. Making sutff up to scare people, for instance

Orbán has campaigned on the unsubstantiated premise that the EU would send Hungarians to their deaths in neighboring Ukraine if his party loses

The best thing that could happen is Orban loosing to a less extremist candidate, not Hungary leaving the EU.

We can only hope Hungary citizens don’t reelect an extremist.

reintroduce diesel versions in Europe for models ranging from various passenger vans to the Peugeot 308 and premium DS No. 4 hatchback.

Those models are NOT on the smaller nor cheaper side, and burn fossiel fuel. I don’t see how this would help them compete against small and cheap EVs.

Last year it added a petrol hybrid version of the Fiat 500

This model makes slightly more sense, but still burns fossiel fuel.

Still looks like stellantis is going to produce less EVs, multiply the number of models/assembly lines. It’s not obvious how that’d help compete with cheap chinese EVs or reach economy of scale. Please try producing SMALLER and cheaper EVs models with less connected/electronic gadgets, to cather to those who care about pollution and their budget, not so much about expensive shiny gadgets.

Putting less restriction on social workers seems like a step in the right direction.

The Welsh government isn’t the only one in Europe focusing on tweaking rules and on reorganisations, rather than putting resources where most needed.

Let’s hope there’s more to come to make housing more afforable, eg better regulation of airbnb-style rentals, use tax/insevtives to make housing less attractive to speculators but more accessible to residents.

Public money for social housing can help too, but by itself it won’t fix the disfunctional housing market.

on Jan. 21 the EU began banning fuel made from Russia crude

Separating data structure from implementation has benefits.

In languages with classic OOP classes and objects, it’s often necessary to write wrappers or adapters to allow new operations on existing objects. This adds overhead and require more code.

More banks and businesses should support Taler.
