But the whole clubs stance against racism is huge and always has been, as far as I can remember. To me this is much more important than attaching race to a squad number - the whole topic sounds like a low-grade Instagram talking point IMO.

Some people shouldn’t have an opinion. Keown is considered the first player to hold the squad number.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is imperative that people understand the reality of the energy transition and move away from the spotty doomsday or otherwise reporting on the topic.

Given the list of data which they provide as an alternative, you’re not likely being naive.

Australia is the 5th largest natural gas exporter and 2nd largest coal exporter and therefore a significant impacter of climate change.

It, and all the other fossil fuel nations, should do significantly more than offer a small number of places for those impacted by climate change.

Same here. The “tabs” can sometimes become quite stiff over time due to rusting

Within an infinitely long timeline, yes. Transitions take time and few are willing to take the immediate financial (and thus political hit) to do so.

One example is pharmaceutical companies, which represent a significant portion of goods produced in Europe. There is no market similar to the US where prices and consumption are both significantly high, so I would argue they would simply take a significant hit.

Economics is rarely done in long term thought because political cycles rely on economic performance. It’s stupid, but here we are…

Don’t forget oil and gas. Europe has pretty much been living of US gas the last 3 years. lazy link

Not to defend the decision, but I wonder if the prosecution couldn’t use any sort of “treason” charge, as the act is not against the Dutch people directly?

I rescind my comment post-haste

To note: 100 G << 1 MG Also G cannot be added or removed with a spoon, or did I miss some big leap in physics?

And I don’t want to fan conspiracy bullshit, but the timing absolutely stinks to me!

Thanks! I would agree with your summary largely

One key thing to add from the article:

In February Case took over as the chair of the government-funded “Team Barrow”, which is described as a “partnership between the government, Westmorland and Furness council, and BAE Systems” to support the local economy, which is heavily dependent on BAE’s nuclear submarine shipyard.

I would argue that the comments can be taken lightly and not as an “unofficial” government position, given the above point and that the comments were made at a BAE systems funded event.

Can someone explain the role of this person’s titles of civil service and cabinet secretary, and how it might influence their knowledge of the situation? Because this sounds like planned warmongering and defence lobbying without more context.

Yeah the requirements are for USB-C power delivery for devices capable of charging @ (if I remember correctly) > 15W.

The requirement was placed in the radio equipment directive of the EU so unlikely they will amend it to add requirements for USB-C cabled data transmission.

They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

• built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
• marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…

I also severely disliked it.

Jimijett obvs. What more sauce do you want?!?!?1

While I think your comment is over simplifying the issue, there is strangely little mention that people’s animosity toward Musk are responsible for the downturn. Tesla used to be almost the only premium EV available, now there are significant numbers of competitors.

Additionally, there are too many people with similar views to him in Europe to consider it purely a revolt against him

I’m sorry. Why are we talking about biodiversity loss with solar? Who is cutting down forests or clearing land to put in panels?

I only see them on rooftops, car parks, farmland (where they have the benefit of adding shade.) etc.

I’m all for more deployment, but no need to shit on non-“floatovoltaics” - rad name btw

Maybe I’m remembering poorly, but didn’t Almunia have a few brilliant games?
