Teppichbrand, to canada in Climate goals could make gas heating obsolete. So why do gas companies keep adding customers? Building more gas infrastructure is like investing in video rental stores 15 years ago, says expert

Teppichbrand, to linux in what foss phone OS do you use and why?

I use phones that are at least 5 year old and cost 100ā‚¬ max. Graphene supports only new pixel phones, so I never got to use it. I put LineageOS with MicroG on every phone and Iā€™m super happy with it.

Teppichbrand, to lemmyshitpost in Seems awfully dangerous

I really hope so! Unfortunately, being VERY LOUD is important to motorcycle-men and part of their ridiculous sense of community and freedom. Thatā€™s why I fear they will be one of the last to switch to electric motors.

Nothing triggers me more than motorcyclists. We moved from a big city in Germany to the countryside a couple years ago and I totally underestimated the amount of noise you guys make. On every sunny weekend, fat people in their mid-fifties dressed like sausages rattle along the country roads and wave at each other in a cool manner. Saturdays are annoying, Sundays seriously unbearable. We canā€™t have a conversation in the garden, even deep in the forest you can hear the engines roar. They hang around on the benches, bus stops and at the petrol station, smoking and talking on their phones. Ambulances once or twice a day, rescue helicopters every other week. One time friends came to visit and greeted me with: ā€œThere was a motorcyclist lying on the crossroadsā€. At the start of the season, two motorcyclists collided on a bend close to my home and both died. Casual! It was pretty quiet while the paramedics failed to save both of the fathers lifes.
Riding a motorcycle is such an embarrassing, reckless and mean-spirited pastime, it drives me insane. If I sell this house again, it will be because of you. I pray for a ban on driving on Sundays and public holidays and noise controls. Buy a racing bike, seriously!

It is pretty stupid to look at a nuclear power plant and think ā€œcool, this is pretty clean, cheap and safeā€ when spent nuclear fuel and plutonium wastes require well-designed storage for periods ranging from tens of thousands to a million years, to minimize releases of the contained radioactivity into the environment.
What if generation 2748 in the future makes a mistake and pollutes an entire region? A million accidents could and will happen, it is so obvious. Arenā€™t you aware of this? Itā€™s insane to do this to our childrens children and all other earthlings that will live after us.

Nuclear power is a wonderful example of how costs can be pushed into the future and onto future generations. People are obviously still falling for this. The ā€œAsseā€-repository in Germany was used for storage from 1967 to 1978 and now we descendants have to deal with the follow-up costs while our ancestors enjoyed the oh-so-cheap nuclear power. Groundwater is already leaking in, and preventing pollution is complex and expensive. And we are only the second generation, but the stuff will still be there in 2000 generations. Rooting for this is so incredibly short-sighted.

While nuclear energy can appear cost-effective compared to other energy sources, the true cost is often higher when considering indirect factors. Society typically bears these costs through taxes, insurance premiums, and health care costs rather than the price paid for nuclear-generated electricity.
These costs can be divided into several categories:

  1. Environmental Costs: These include the long-term management of nuclear waste, the potential contamination from radioactive materials, and the decommissioning of nuclear plants. Managing nuclear waste safely over thousands of years is a significant and expensive challenge.
  2. Health Costs: Exposure to radiation can have serious health impacts, including cancer and genetic damage. The cost of healthcare for affected individuals and communities can be substantial.
  3. Accident Costs: In the event of a nuclear accident, such as the Chernobyl or Fukushima disasters, the costs can be immense. This includes evacuation, compensation, cleanup, and long-term environmental and health monitoring.
  4. Security Costs: Ensuring that nuclear materials are not diverted for weapons use or targeted by terrorists involves significant expenditure on security measures and regulatory oversight.
  5. Economic Costs: There can be broader economic impacts from nuclear accidents, including loss of agricultural or commercial land, reduced property values, and long-term disruption to local economies.

Nuclear is over, because itā€™s stupid, expensive and really dangerous for a LONG time

Teppichbrand, to linux in Raspberry Pi Smart TV?

Sharing videos from NewPipe to Kodi worked pretty well. But I switched too, after years of tweaking & fiddeling and I now use just an old laptop with Mint and a controller. Itā€™s not as pretty and controller-friendly, but much more stable and I donā€™t really need the movie collection features.

Teppichbrand, to world in World Bankā€™s climate plan: Pricier red meat and dairy, cheaper chicken and veggies

This is not my native language and Iā€™m too lazy to translate whole recipies, so here are just a few tips:

  • Cook yellow lentils with vegetable stock to make a creamy sauce, add more stuff and seasoning to taste
  • Red lentils stay a bit harder and replace minced meat very well
  • Brown lentils with smoked tofu, leek, potatoes, celery and carrots make a great German lentil soup
  • Find a recipe for bean chili
  • Look for potato and pumpkin-curry
  • Throw lentils and chickpeas or beans into tomato sauces and see what you like. There are no rules, I put beans or lentils in every meal!
  • Make a fresh salad and toss in cold pasta and beans for a real meal

I love hummus, too!

  • Try black beans and edamame, they are more crunchy.
  • Try different brands and put small amounts in every meal until you get used to it.
  • Buy a pressure cooker and cook dried beans yourself. The are cheaper und the texture is so much better! You can cook more than you need and put them in the freezer for later use.

Beans, chickpeas and lentils are my favorite daily superfoods. So cheap, so tasty, so healthy. Meat is so far in the rearview mirror I donā€™t even understand the concept anymore.

Teppichbrand, to linux in I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux

Same here. I wouldnā€™t consider myself a gamer, but 30 minuten of mindless rippin and tearin every couple of days improves my quality of life significantly. :)
