99% of cars are not needed. Everyone should be able to go on with their life without it. Every car dependent situation could not be. Instead of saying cars are ok because I need one right now" that is fallacious, we should be asking “how can we change things so we don’t need it anymore ?”. Fuck all cars

IntoDaLagoon,

Just asking questions about if poor people should have enough food to live or if that would make them breed too much, no fucked-up Malthusian undertones here, nossir

The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it’s causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.

Khrux,

Unfortunately it’s paired with 100+ 5e sessions and no others have lasted more than 5, which is probably where my cynicism about it comes from. Plenty of mine were also one-shots.

elDalvini,

These brakes are single-pivot side-pull caliper brakes. They can work well, but only if they are well made - I personally never had much luck with Weinmann brakes.

For the rear brake, pretty much the only thing you can try is replacing the brake pads. The front ones don’t look very worn, but the rubber gets hard with age and loses its effectiveness.

The front brake looks broken beyond repair. The part I circeled red should be attached to the green part, but the connecting part seems to have broken off. https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/491a9621-2590-4dab-b6bf-38ac04a10166.jpegYou might be able to find a replacement, but I would recommend replacing the whole brake for a better one.

Merz schließt kommunale Kooperation mit AfD nicht aus (www.n-tv.de) German

Im Sommerinterview räumt CDU-Chef Merz angesichts der anhaltend guten Umfragewerte für die AfD aktuelle Schwächen in seiner eigenen Partei ein. Er bekräftigt aber gleichzeitig: Ein Verbot der Partei hält er nicht für zielführend, und die Union wird nicht mit der AfD kooperieren - mit Ausnahmen.

nicerdicer,

If you ask Berlin who is to blame, there seems to be just one answer: high energy prices sparked by Russia’s war against Ukraine. The AfD and far-left Die Linke are nostalgic for cheap Russian gas, while the opposing center-right CDU and the governing pro-business FDP blame the Greens for insisting on turning off the country’s last nuclear-power plants this spring.

Turning off nuclear power has been decided by both the CDU and the FDP in 2011, when the Fukusima nuclear power plant was hit with a tsunami. The remaining last nuclear power plants in Germany were supposed to be shut down in 2022. Because of the war in Ukraine it was decided that they were switched off a few months later than originally planned, to help to get through winter.

Edit: spelling

Janis,

the war&postwar generation ate all the KfW money and tell everyone it was their work that rebuild germany.

it did not. not only cant the boomers evwn pay for their own pensions they also left a hefty debt.

the atlantic is stupid to think the 70s and 80s crisis"s were mastered because of the german attitude and great work. it wasnt. pensions were spent, debts were created. the only thing that changed since ww2 is that they forgot to keep theirs mouths shut. work is still the same, but the money is gone. at no point in time germany was exceptional - that is the fuel to the far right…to think germams were any good. war criminals were ministers, traumatized facists became teachers… that entire german rebuild is based on the money of other people.

Thorry84,

Wants to be a provider, becomes a teacher in the US. Still thinks his girlfriend wants to marry him to become part of his great country.

The brainwashing is something else in the US. What an absolute fool.

drmoose,

The fact that “mommy, what’s a <animal>?” future is becoming a reality should be a fucking emberassment for all of us. Yet no one will pause their fish consumption because “it’s tasty”. The earth is being killed for literal entertainment.

Ignore ReVanced, go for LibreTube. It uses Piped in the backend to access YouTube, and it’s got a really nice user interface on Android.

It also automatically blocks ads, skips sponsored segments, supports downloads, PiP, background playing, subscriptions, comments, live videos.

It doesn’t rely on shady alternative G services running in the background, doesn’t need you to modify any official APKs, it’s open source, and you can customize elements you want or do not want to see from YouTube. Give it a go.

EDIT: And here are some bonuses it’s got over alternatives: customizable sleep timers, channel groups, subscriptions synced automatically with your desktop browser (via Piped), the ability to proxy and reroute your traffic to YouTube, full Shorts support, live comments for broadcasts.

Hasuris,

The problem imo is the “we should do something else instead FIRST” argument. No. We should do everything we can right now. Usually whenever people start arguing to do something else first, what they actually mean and want is to do nothing at all.

Yes big corporations and their emissions are a big part of the problem but that big ass SUV isn’t fine either. Do what you can as soon as you can. No exceptions.

EU defends appointment of US economist in top job despite backlash [has become obsolete as Morton is not taking the job, see the link in the thread] (www.euronews.com)

The appointment of Fiona Scott Morton, a former competition economist for the US Justice Department who has also lobbied on behalf of Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, has set off alarm bells in Brussels and Paris. Morton’s mandate would involve advising the EU Commission on investigations into alleged anti-competitive behaviour,...

This is the first time someone not from the EU is put into a position with that much power over the EU economy and policy (The requirement of EU citizenship was removed from the job posting for her, and she announced that she got he job to her colleagues in Yale months before she was officially chosen).
She’s advised and worked with the exact same corporations she’s now supposed to control (especially big US tech firms, like Microsoft, Amazon and Apple).

And to appease the European Commission, it was announced that she won’t deal with these same corporations for the first 2 years of her job, to prevent a conflict of interest…
In a 3 year contract…
In a position overseeing these exact same companies in the tech sector of the EU market…

On a completely unrelated note, EU commission president Von Der Leyen is currently pushed to become NATO general secretary next year.

It leaves me speechless.

Cobrachicken,

Ich denke eher es liegt nicht primär an der Bürokratie, sondern an den massiv gestiegenen Kosten. Wird leider im Artikel nur am Ende angerissen.
