If you read the article you will see that it is about importing materials like rare earth metals from China

Yes

Because someone paid him to. The man is a grifter to the very core

Good fucking riddance to them all.

I couldn't agree more

It's honestly got a lot in common with your politics, in many ways. Our Labour party isn't looking likely to do much good, but holy shit it would be nice to at least making everything worse in the sleaziest way possible all of the time. I personally put a lot of the blame on FPTP voting, although that is clearly not an instant fix in itself; the Dutch are doing a fine job of demonstrating that

They know the young won't vote for them anyway, so they're hoping this will do something to stem the tide with the rest of the population who would not have to do the service

The language used seems very Abrahamic for a Hindu nationalist. Like consistently referring to a singular God usually referred to only as God. Is this some translation weirdness, or is it just normal language that's surprising me because I'm not familiar with the context? I know that a lot of denominations of Hinduism hold one of the gods as being the primary one, but even that seems like it would be a fast way to alienate other denominations

If your PC's region is set to an EEA country, you actually do get additional options to turn stuff off or uninstall things. Uninstallation of Edge and Copilot is apparently coming soon... for the EEA. But you can just tell your PC you're in an EEA country.

NASA's design is a few kilometres long and accelerates the vehicle at about 3 G up to roughly Mach 1. The technology is the same principle as a railgun, but it's more like a maglev train with a track that ends pointing upwards a bit

Round trip efficiency of modern pumped storage hydro is about 80%. How is that horrible if 72% is decent?

Pumped hydro obviously does have drawbacks in that it requires you to have the water and suitable landscape available to dedicate to it, but efficiency doesn't seem to be one of them

It's because all of his aggression was directed towards his own hair

Ehhh it's a mixed blessing with China. The country's power consumption increased by an average of about 1,100 TWh per year during 2012-2022, which is outpacing the newly-added solar and wind generation in the article by a factor of four. It's great that they're adding so much clean power, quite the opposite that they're adding even more less clean power

Edit: I should add that these numbers don't specify hydro or nuclear capacity added. Not all of the gap is fossil fuels
