As an American, I’ve mixed feelings.

On the one hand, I think I think Europe owning it’s own defense would be a solid move to ensure it’s own sovereignty and independence as a modern nation…thing.

On the other hand, I fear this could lead to US - EU military rivalry. While not necessarily the strongest bond in the world, I do value the relatively positive relationship the US and EU have. I hope that bond is preserved and hope we can grow even closer over time.

I’ve just figured out linked lists and I want to call that the solution ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Boy, in this thread I really can’t tell where the sarcasm ended and the bad faith began.

I am sickened but intrigued.

Mixed feelings myself.

I think this is a GREAT application for AI.

But I worry that the creators will get screwed (monetarily) for the use of this. I could see this coming in a number of forms to include in losing the rights to the shows they made, but that were translated to their non-native language.

American here; what kind of ticket are you trying to buy in this case?

Exactly how it’s spelled.

DahGangalang , 10 months ago to worldnews in German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power

First off appreciate the good faith response. It’s more than I’ve come to expect when I ask (probably) dumb questions requesting further explanation.

Coming from an American perspective, I’ve only recently realized just how badly centralization affects the grid. It’s definitely a strong case for rooftop solar.

But focusing on nuclear, I do think we’ve missed the window where building top-to-bottom nuclear generating facilities would be advantageous, but in the effort to bridge from our heavily fossil fuel based electrical grid to a completely renewable, I think that SMRs are a reasonable solution. I especially like the notion of converting old infrastructure (i.e. old abandoned coal plants) into SMR power plants.

You seem to be knowledgeable and have opinions. What’re you’re thoughts on SMRs to help bridge the growing energy need?

DahGangalang , 10 months ago to worldnews in German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by these. Can you expand on that? (I mostly mean the centralization, but also looking for clarity on what you mean by security)

DahGangalang , 10 months ago to worldnews in German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power

Just so I’m clear on what you intend to say: you intend to show that the amount of energy Germany produces from wind has increased while the amount of energy produced by both coal and nuclear have decreased, the data standing as a self evident counter argument?

Can you pass any guides on how to do this?
