America has amazing nature. A pity that it is being sold off for mineral and logging rights, and the park service being refunded, but still…

OP referred to a difference in quality, not quantity.

The idea is to ensure no future invasions by Russia, not to stop the current one.

Aren’t there plenty of US-hostile countries in Europe? I mean, starting with Russia and Belarus, but also maybe Turkey, Serbia, and maybe Hungry?

For people saying “it’s fine”, they are probably not talking about the same thing

I assume you mean this monstrosity:

Which is indeed a crime against humanity. My parents used one and kept me from realizing that coffee is delicious until I was 18 years old or so.

The other people probably mean this simple yet effective device:

Especially the comment about 60 million Italians.

The moka pot is great and I use it to make my own latte every day.

The European Union imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia worth around €4.48 billion ($5.2 billion) in the first half of 2025, up from €3.47 billion over the same period last year, according to EU statistics agency Eurostat on Monday.

That is shocking. 😠

Marriage is also about allocating resources for taking care of children.

In a society where women are often harassed, many women use bathrooms to escape men, even if just for a few moments of peace.

I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

I guess that a hydrogen fueled vehicle would be allowed then, which is terrible since basically all hydrogen is made from methane currently. 🙈

Banning sales of fossil fuel cars after 2035 is exactly the plan.

That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.

The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.

The maximum is 61%, which doesn’t seem that high to me. It means 3 of 5 Democrats trust the most trusted source.

Much more important to me is that the Republicans basically only have one news source that they trust: Fox News.

The distrust of the news is a great tool for fascists, because in a post-truth world they can just substitute whatever nonsensical, hate-filled ideas they want for reality.

I have not heard about Switzerland, but this is true in Finland and Denmark at least.

There are more Jews in the USA than in Israel?

Nixon was a potty mouth.
