Or staying up longer than you should… or looking at screens too long… or…

Oy, no need to call me out like that… I should turn off my phone.

Wasn’t this on an episode of Trash Future?

That man’s pedantry is truly beyond parody.

Same as it ever was!

Beef jewelry?

Truly a man of culture.

Yes, power output can be regulated in nuclear energy. It is, however, not economical to do so most off the time. Building a nuclear reactor is a massive capital investment, so any time you’re not running at 100% you are increasing your payback time, which leads to more expensive electricity.

That technology is nowhere near mature enough to provide a solution to the mentioned problems in the next decade or two.

I agree with the comic. I do however disagree with the title. I think the Hamas’ attack shouldn’t to be called “resistance”, just as Israel’s response shouldn’t be called “self defense”.

Well, if you don’t care if either party wins, vote third party. However, if you really dislike the idea of one party winning over the other, despite hating both, you should really think about how that vote is actually going to affect the future.

That’s not the way it should be, but that’s the way it is.

Depends on the voting system tbf. In FPTP, unless one party is extremely unpopular, it often supports your political opponents when you vote third party.

This is the tunnelbak where the main protests are. The speed limit is actually 70 km/h as shown by the sign visible in the street view. It is about 500 meters from where the A12 ends at the corner of the Malieveld.

I think it is unfair to describe “holding a pre-announced protest” as “jumping into traffic”. I imagine they take care to do it safely.

I think it should also be noted that the road is located directly between parliament and the ministry of economic affairs and climate.

The EU supreme court or the EU data protection agency, roughly.

It takes only 5 years to build a nuclear power plant, (…)

I agree with most of the comment, but this is just an oversimplification. I’m sure that you can build a nuclear power plant in 5 years, if you have the requisite infrastructure, engineers and knowledge. Germany did not have any of those in sufficient amount to build anywhere near enough nuclear reactors between the decision to switch to coal & gas in around 2011 and the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Even France wouldn’t be capable of that in such a short amount of time.

Had they made that decision 30 years ago, sure, but in such short time? No way.

Porque no los dos?

Just paint a biker-shaped scorch mark on the asphalt.

Don’t you want a dominant gene? Anyway, if you want to know more watch: Unnatural Selection, Episode 3. It’s on Netflix and worth a watch, it discusses gene drive in detail.

By adding half the peaches in secondary. The peach flavour is subtle but it is definitely present. I also used a cider yeast, so it was nearly at its ABV limit when the peaches were added, maybe that helped slow down the fermentation as well.

In terms of advise, don’t bother simmering your honey as this will remove a lot of the flavour and buy some yeast nutrient if you want to drink it early. The nutrient will make your mead drinkable without having to age it for over a year, cause yeast needs nitrogen and unhappy yeast makes rocket fuel that needs to age out. When in doubt, age it out. Apart from that, just play around, use the GotMead calculator to estimate ABV and have fun.

It’s pretty well balanced compared to my previous meads. I used a cider yeast which resulted in a slight residual sweetness and the acid from the peaches and strawberries balances it pretty well. I also added some pepper corns in secondary, though not much of that made it through.
