Here is a clip of a talk show where Robert Habeck of the green party explains why nuclear is not ecological:

I think it is clear for most people that nuclear is not sustainable and only a short term solution. Now is actually a great opportunity to push for renewable energies also because it is important to get a foot into the market before China takes it all.

I can only speak for the situation in Germany and the silence was not the left but the conservative party CDU under Merkel. She was great for foreign relations, but her party sucked (still does too). During the 12 years they were in power they slept on all the issues, they never bothered to address climate change, we have a problem with our pension system which was always a topic, never addressed. There was a huge immigrant wave close to the end of Merkel's third term which her party completely slept on (she did take the initiative though at some point).

Now we have the social democrats, the greens and the liberals in the government, which are stuck with the dumpster fire of problems that accumulated over the last 12 years. They are working their ass off and have to make unpopular choices, which is a great attack vector for boulevard press and the opposition. CDU is super salty about not being in power anymore so they are against every change that is happening, which creates really bad vibes. Meanwhile the AfD uses the emotion and frustration to their advantage even though it is completely illogical to follow them.

So no, in Germany, the left is not the problem.

Given that you probably are using pointers, and occasionally you are allocating memory, smart pointers handle deallocation for you. And yes, you can do it yourself but it is prone to errors and maybe sometimes you forget a case and memory doesn't get deallocated and suddenly there is a leak in the program.

When you're there, shared_ptr is used when you want to store the pointer in multiple locations, unique_ptr when you only want to have one instance of the pointer (you can move it around though).

Smart pointers are really really nice, I do recommend getting used to them (and all other features from c++11 forward).

Good lord, I just read the Wikipedia article, that is absolutely insane. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_(film)#Injuries_and_set_damages

However it does also say that three lions were killed, so not sure if the advertising is so accurate

He quit because real life problems were affecting his ability to make money. Welcome to reality. What's his takeaway? He stopped his poor life social experiment because he wanted to focus on his health, but if we try to focus on our health, we simply aren't making money.

He stopped at the top of the rabbit hole, he should've gone in.

Adding to what DmMacniel said, it's a hardware interface, often accessed via a USB port (which after all, is the universal serial bus).

As a computer science problem it ends at position = window center / 2 - object width / 2

Lots of garlic and an onion fried with the curls, then add some veggies and pasta. It's my favourite dish with those

Drinking a litre of milk every day can't be healthy. It causes osteoporosis and can raise your cholesterol levels.

Do as you want but for everyone reading this thread, I thought it was a good resource to add. And also keep in mind, the animal agriculture lobby is huge and they publish biased counter studies with questionable methods.

Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It's not federated though.
