Every commercial fuel recycling plant in existence releases large amounts of radioactivity into the air and water, so I dont really see them as a good alternative.

Here is a world map of iodine 129 before fukushima, its one of many radioactive isotopes released at nuclear reprocessing plants: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/images/iupac/j_pac-2015-0703_fig_076.jpg The website where I got it from: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/element/Iodine#section=Isotopes-in-Forensic-Science-and-Anthropology

Considering how long it would take to build safe reactors, how expensive it would be and how much radioactive contamination would be created both at the production of fuel and later when the storage ever goes wrong after thousands of years, I just dont see any reason to ever invest into it nowadays, when renewables and batteries have gotten so good.

Yeah, I visited sweden once, where I camped in nature. The cities were meh, but the nature was very nice.

In the east maybe, its definetly not bad at all in northern germany (Schleswig Holstein).

I know, but thats still much better than it was before and I think we will slowly move towards full legalisation.

But seeds were actually always legal, you just werent allowed to plant them.

What is also good is that weed is no longer classified as a narcotic (Betäubungsmittel), so it can be prescribed like any other medicine. While medicinal Cannabis was legal before, the hurdles to get it were way too high.

Well, its legal now in Germany

That is mostly there for another reason, to distinguish between different voltages.

When a connector is meant for a different voltage the Earth connector (which is thicker than the rest) gets moved along the circle so it would be impossible to plug it into one with a different voltage. The nub stops you from just turning the plug to make it fit.

Greetings from Germany from someone who has used these quite a few times, mostly 16A and 32A variants and has never seen a locking one.

I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.

Have you ever tried just pulling it back a little bit before you pee?

Thats what I do when its cold outside and I want to pee, but not on me.

I have (had) a few friends who communicate like this and its just annoying and exhausting. I am never planning anything again with them involved because they cannot state if they actually will or want to come.

Edge has started doing that too, whenever I download something from my Home Assistant instance while at home I have to rightclick and say that I really want to download it.

As long as such an option is available its not too bad.

Looks somewhat german to me as a german.

Then you can just install something else on it?

I get that it sucks when a device is locked, because you might need to install a different OS for a multitude of reasons, but as long as you are able to install whatever you want I dont blame the manufacturer.

You can install whatever you want on a Steam Deck afaik, so I dont get what you are trying to say here.

Huh, I didnt even think about the word sea, as a non native English speaker I didnt think of it. I get the argument that the baltic sea and the Meditarranean are both seas and not oceans, but I looked it up too and, yeah the definitions flow into each other (lol). (Also, greetings from someone who lives a few kilometers away from the baltic sea).

The Meditarranean is also an ocean

Bike infrastructure is a good and cheap way to improve our planet in many ways, but it cant be the only thing we do to stop climate change, not even close. We will still need to heat our houses and produce products without emitting more CO2.

Thats why I just leave the dust on top lol.

Paid 55€ for my old used laser printer a few years ago and some toner for 20€, both will last me well over 700 pages, not to mention the time saved by not having to go to a print shop and I can print whenever I want, even on sunday (Germans know what I mean).

If I need to print something in color I could do it at work or at my fathers place, but that didnt even happen yet.

99% of the usage my printer sees is German government bureaucracy, the rest is some other bureaucracy.

At least they dont need color.

Yup, bought an old office mono laser printer (its from OKI) for pretty cheap, I got one that can do duplex scanning and printing with a document feeder because I dont want to scan every page individually.

Put new cheapo toner in it after a bit because it only came with a little bit and with that new cartridge it will probably last at least 10 years with my print frequency.

If I would have bought a new ink printer with those features I would have paid much more (investment and running costs) and I would probably need to unclog it every time I want to print something.
