Kannst du ein Foto deiner Trocknungsapparatur machen? Ist das von den Dimensionen her so eine Tupperdose? Oder eher ein Regal, wenn du sagst dass da ein Raumentfeuchter reinpasst?

Don't get me wrong, I love me a good pumped hydro solution, but they do come with a couple of disadvantages:

a) as others pointed out, you need a somewhat steep gradient between two places. Preferably for a bit of distance so as to increase efficiency by putting more turbines in. Their need for a gradient limits their use in flat locations such as the entire US Midwest, for example.

b) comparatively expensive and longer construction process than other storage forms.

c) usually you have to build the upper reservoir. That's an environmental harm. IMHO not that big if a concern, but it's there.

d) if you don't build out a reservoir, but use an existing lake, you risk contaminating it with algae / cyanobacteria and wreaking havoc on fish and other wildlife.

hey, I agree that there should be tampons in bathrooms. It just seemed like you were misunderstanding each other, so I tried to help out. I also think that we should be able to cover the, idk, 500k per year to outfit schools with tampons.

I think someone has to pay for the tampons.

yes, I know. I meant it more along the lines of whoever comes up with a method for standardizing bias in media puts their own bias in the methodology.

For example, I feel it is a political statement in itself to have a "bias spectrum" from left to unbiased to right. This implies that both left an right are "biases", while only the center is truly neutral and therefore an arbiter of truth and facts. Enlightened centrism, anyone?

Also, I disagree with parts of their methodology. The headline "Habitual liar and convicted felon to seek US presidency again" would probably be classified as loaded language, whereas "Donald Trump wants to become president again" would be considered more neutral.

I would argue that the former example is, in fact, more truthful than the latter because it doesn't omit major reasons why this is newsworthy. But since the mbfc is founded on the ~~illusion~~ idea that there is such a thing as truly neutral common ground, it conflates perspective and bias.

thanks for putting it more succinctly than I did!

I actually meant to start a thread one of these days if we can't ban it! Glad you started the conversation!

My main concern is that by attributing a tactfulness and political rating to them, we're attaching weight to that. But who does these ratings? Especially when a pop/mainstream mag like the Rolling Stone is classified as "left" the same that explicitly politically left publications like Jacobin are also "left". That just strikes me as odd.

stimmt, deswegen ist es besser wenn wir alle an der Hitze verrecken lassen. Recht haste.

Congrats on your weight loss journey! May I ask if there was a specific thing that motivated you to start and keep going? And how did you turn your mindset around?

that's gotta be satire

 

Neulich im Briefkasten gefunden. Weißer Briefumschlag.

Recherche ergibt: ein geistig verwirrter Mann treibt seit zehn Jahren sein Unwesen an Hoch- und Oberrhein https://archive.is/6yEpK

 

Nichtsahnend kaufen die Freundin und ich im lokalen Gutmenschenmarkt ein und dabei eben auch Reinigungsmittel der Firma Sonett, weil das klingt erstens so nett und zweitens soll das besonders umweltfreundlich sein und das ist ja ganz in unserem Sinne.

Auf der Zutatenliste taucht das nn "verwirbeltes Wasser" auf und mir schwant Übles. Serviceorientiert lüftet Sonett das Geheimnis gleich selbst: https://www.sonett.eu/qualitaet/wasser/ - das Wasser wirbelt spagyrisch um Lebensenergiekristalle entfaltet dadurch sein optimales Energiepotential. Das kann man zwar nicht nachweisen, aber die Cluster sagen das.

Habt ihr nicht verstanden? JA; DA GIBT'S JA AUCH NIXY ZU VERSTEHEN"! WAS SOLL DIE SCHEI?E DENN!? Ich will doch einfach nur Gutes tun mit meinem Geld und hab jetzt die Gehirnwäschemafia unterstützt maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
