If you ever find the cable model and wanna be a superhero, you can send them to your Radiofrequency regulation body (e.g. Bundesnetzagentur in Germany) and they may start issuing fines.

Companies tend to fall in line quickly as non-complaince to these laws is punishable individually by each state (both in the EU and US).

Competitive domestic production always makes sense, especially in critical areas such as power generation.

This may also be good for the wider industry as higher wage costs in production (in the EU, when compared to China) tend to lead to higher production yields in the search of efficiency meaning we can make meet our needs with less resources.

I think the x-axis labels are wrong. Cosine similarity is used to compare vectors in maths. 1 would mean the vectors are going in the same direction and 0 would mean they are going 90° to each other and -1 is opposite.

…ok, nevermind… maybe checking my inventory carefully would have saved me the embarrassment of this post!

I really, really don’t :)

Seriously though, how good are modlogs?!!

Would this not be considered feeding the hand that bites you?

In case you understood it different, I read the text to mean these were flying test-beds still being used for military research and not just lying around collecting dust. War sucks, but these were likely actively being used to advance Russian military tech.

I don’t like it. I don’t like anything.

It is more likely that the national healthcare systems eat up a large portion of the cost difference. It is not clear from the dataset however if this is purchase cost or end-user cost.

Prescription medication in Australia for example is heavily subsidised.

For individual objects it is difficult to impossible for me to create the exact image.

For directions however, I can do a visual “fly” over the roads which I believe I should be going down, to make sure I’m going the right place. The roads are clear images, but not to the same effect of watching a video of someone driving along said roads.

I’m coming to think there is a lot more nuance to this than the 5 images let on.

My very lay-person understanding is that generally there is a level of shit each country accepts, e.g. election meddling, hacking or taking of political prisoners as it is part of the “standard affairs” - and will respond to non-forcefully. (Please don’t see me as advocating or trying to downplay these activities, they are abhorrent).

In order to respond with force or war, a lot of prep needs to go in to make sure that the action will be supported by enough allies to both achieve the goal/s and deal with any possible fallout from retaliation.

I believe the EU and its allies sees that a war response to Russian meddling may bring in China more actively into the picture and the US may not come to back them up (unless China decide to re-take Taiwan). OR they see the long-term economic damage to Russia as significant enough to achieve long term regional impact.

Therefore, the EU may not be confident of opening up conflict unless forced to.

IMO Russia’s actions in the EU are a clear test of the EU’s boundaries and willingness to retaliate.

Turns out eating oysters straight off the rocks is not recommended. Like super duper not recommended.

I found this out after I managed to open one on the rocks and ate it :)

Wouldn’t it be Azuly?

Could they be line processionary caterpillars? If so, their hairs can cause severe issues (including blindness).

I typically avoid caterpillars in the wild, especially hairy ones.

You can contact your local health/environmental agency and request an ID from a professional. Where I live it normally takes a day or two and they can confirm if it poses any danger.

The death penalty is archaic und should be abolished.

The article seems to assume it’s use as a weed killer. In some countries (e.g. Australia) it is used to prevent soil evaporation. Is that no longer recommended?

An absolute travesty of a headline and D grade clickbait reporting.

The award shows that there was enough evidence to determine that the drug induced a significant and damaging change to his psyche, which put him and his family through years of danger and hell. But let’s all have a laugh cos gay sex.

Next up: “Why VPNs are ruining our lives/children and how this next law will ban them. Don’t worry, only bad people have something to hide!”

Pretty sure the entire DACH region observes this.l, don’t they? It’s a public holiday in many countries too
