There is no need for a monitor or graphics card. What kind of processor and memory you need depends on the amount of users you plan to be serving, but if it’s just you and some friends or family I’d say a raspberry pi or clone should be more than enough.

The person you’re replying to is right though, administering your own email server is a pain as you have very little control over which IP address your ISP assigns you and therefore no control over its reputation and chance to end up on spam lists. Also you need to be very aware of security issues in order to prevent your server being used to send out spam. It’s not something I’d recommend to someone who has no experience administering other servers.

Also make sure to get some oral rehydration salts. You don’t just lose water with the shits.

It appears you very much misunderstand the impact of global climate change

That would lower the temperature by about 5 degrees Celsius compared to sea level, which doesn’t help enough with African temperatures.

Which the savannahs are not though.

Europe should not get together with Russia. Putin can get fucked.

Learning a language as a kid of that age mostly takes being exposed to the language, there’s not much personal discipline involved yet.

and also all of mainland Europe

That’s a bit of an overgeneralization, at least in the Netherlands kids learn a couple words of English in elementary school, but for most I wouldn’t say they speak the language until well into highschool.

Eh, sometimes it’s just ‘not good enough’.

We get jehovas witnesses trying to recruit people at the door once every while. They’ve never been an issue here, when you tell them you’re not interested they just leave.

I’m not saying we can break our reliance on fossil fuel in short term, just saying that we should work towards it. Cooperating with Russia is also not feasible in the short term, so that just leaves iran and china. The question is if that can be enough.

Whether it is or not, we should start subsidizing circular agriculture anyway, because fossil fuels are limited and going to run out in any case. Europe should try to be independent of the rest of the world before that happens. This does mean that more people will have to work in food production, but we also need new technologies for reliable susta8 good production.

We can still do with more solar and wind power, but we’ll also need to invest heavily in long term energy storage. In the end that will be much better than nuclear energy which will only prolong our dependency on fuels from unstable dictatorships.

True, but the amounts needed for that are much lower, and can be bought from countries in other parts of the world.

The addition of Russia would be a more formidable force.

Russia hardly has any navy left. But even if they did, Putin can not be trusted not to screw Europe over every chance he gets.

They can try Venezuela

They are not going to get together with Russia as long as it’s busy invading Ukraine, and rightfully so. They could get together with China and Iran, but then the US would probably block the strait of Hormuz for ships bound for Europe and China.

What they should do is make every possible effort to break the dependence on fossil fuels as soon as possible.

I get some cookies, but I have to donate in my free time.

I could see the point in that. Here you don’t even know if the donated blood will be used for research or for life saving operations.

Is there any place that even lets you know that your blood has been used and who received it? That seems needlessly risky.
