To those with short memories: Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia. During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia. None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented

I guess the question is, why is energy different to water? Somehow the energy sector seems to perform better for households than water… why is that? Because firms cant generate water? Because homes can switch supplier even tho electricity comes from the same source, like water?

"There are currently almost 20,000 men under the ground, right at this moment, all digging coal?" Mr. Qi smiled and nodded. "Yes that's right". In Off the Beaten Track this week, I visited a coal mine in China's famous Ordos City in Inner Mongolia. Here's what I found.🧵

Erik Torenberg There is no 'birth rate crisis' or 'population collapse' crisis. The 'crisis' men keeping talking about is the crisis of an economic model the requires endless growth. Perhaps try not bullying & guilt tripping women into becoming baby factories for the capitalist Ponzi scheme?

Starting to think the world would be a better place if we divided countries into microstates - ones where relentless bigots & similar lived and ones where forward-thinking social-liberals live. Fairly sure it wouldnt work though.

Russia can’t afford to pay the price to take entire Donbas by force so they ask President Trump to put pressure on Ukraine to give Donbas to them for free and Trump agrees. Ukraine is successfully fighting back russia in Donbas, each kilometre taken by russia is paid in blood of

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.

Huge 3D Printing Breakthrough! Caltech is printing metal atom by atom. A hydrogel scaffold soaked in metal salts becomes the blueprint, the gel burns away, and oxygen is stripped in a hydrogen-rich chamber, leaving alloys crafted with surgical precision. They can change metal

A classic of the genre: “our problems are politics not technology” as if technology was not politics. The key problem I wager is the engineering that brings us to these technical politics.

Mearsheimer has been wrong about this conflict since 2014. None of his predictions came true. He’s been predicting the imminent fall of Ukraine for 3.5 years. I don’t blame him for running a profitable scam — I am just astonished that there are enough blistering idiots there to

I’ve long thought that there are way of undersranding the world so different to our own that we dont even have the concepts to understand it. I’m very curious to know the consequences of this for how eg African engineering should be based on how Africans see the world and reality

As someone who designed road infrastructure before working in housing I can confirm this is true. Fire trucks have the widest turning radius and width needed and determine the entire design in many cases.
