I believe raised beds for kids have a lot of space beneath them for putting servers. Just make sure they can’t pull the plugs 😜

Pretty much anywhere humans live there is similar “heat” a few meters into the ground even during winter. If you need a heat-pump to upgrade the heat, you might as well attach it to a ground-loop and extract the heat that way.

Then I guess the topic of them financially and materially supporting the atrocities of the RSF in Sudan will not be discussed 😑

The day my bank does that, they have at least one customer less 🤷

While people will not like you monetizing their posts, it is ultimatly something that only runs on your website. Of course if you federate out the posts people make on your website, then people will be able to access them on other sites without seeing the ads.

Injecting ads in the posts themselves, and federating them out to other servers however would be a different matter and likely get your server defederated relatively quickly, especially if you try to track impressions through embedding images or so.

No, it doesn’t “need” corn. It wants cheap corn as animal food, so that consumers can buy cheap meat etc. This is not necessary at all, and if we reduce the amount of factory farmed animals it will be actually beneficial.

Yes, that is the normal court process 🤷

No, but the federal constitutional court is 🙄

Not every vote is public and kicking someone out of the party against their will takes time and doesn’t make them lose their seat in the parliment.

A minority AfD government that sometimes depends on 3 CDU members and sometimes 3 BSW members can pretty much do what it wants because those two parties have different red lines and can be played against each other.

That election recount was decided by a court, not “other parties”, and the BSW leadership is openly advocating for cooperation with the AfD, so your argument about them preventing an AfD government holds little water.

Not yet, but planned.

But the launchpad on Santa Maria island isn’t in continental Europe, and technically that island specifically is on the African tectonic plate.

The deletion was not by mistake. The link to Europe is very thin and it feels like it is mainly posted because it feeds a “china is bad” narrative.

Seems to be based on this design: https://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/solar-food-dehydrator-plans-zm0z14jjzmar/

These m2 adapters are known to overheat, but otherwise they are much more reliable than usb to sata adapters.

What year was that picture taken?

But brings back memories, cool place!

I would like a response to my specific points though about trouble the EU is running into

I would first like to have some solid evidence that these are caused by the confederal structure of the EU, and that they would be indeed solved by moving to a federal system. So far that seems to me like pure conjecture and also a huge gamble that could destroy the EU in the process.

That kind of abuse of power can happen under literally any system from fascist to socialist.

In a centralized state, yes. But that is exactly what a confederacy isn’t. And the concrete example is that people in other states voted for Trump and thus directly interefered with the affairs of a state that didn’t. That isn’t at all comparable to a state internal problem.

The US was at most very briefly a confederacy, and the US civil war had little to do with that despite one side calling itself such.

The EU is an obvious successful modern example, and if you want historical examples, then the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nations lasted a millenium and despite sometimes nominally having an emporer it was practically a confederation.

And besides, ask some person living in a Democrat majority US state how they feel about the current Trump administration of their federal government interfering with their life and sending a militarized police occupation force into their cities?
