Looks like it’s not the first derailment of the Frecciarossa 1000.

On 6 February 2020, unit number 21 was involved in a high-speed derailment at Livraga (Lodi), on the Milan-Bologna high-speed line, operating the first service of the day. It caused the death of the two train drivers and the injury of 31 people.

Yeah, I hope that the renewables will continue exponentially… I agree that the growing share of renewables in the mix is awesome, but in the end what matters is each ton of CO2 emitted. And we’re not going in the right direction :(

What frustrates me is that China is indeed leading so much technological development on energy, but the amount of coal being burnt is just not budging… Please, China. Make the transition already.

Ah yeah, I thought he was drafted. Thanks!

Thanks for reading more carefully than me!

I can’t find anything on Walter Hallstein and Adolf Heusinger being nazis or committing war crimes. Looks like the former was an academic drafted in the army and the latter a high-ranking officer who began his career before the nazis.

I get that Heusinger can be seen as complicit (he must have known for whom he worked and didn’t quit), but what about Hallstein?

Compared to dictators (or wannabe), I get that Macron seems attractive. But he’s proven to be pro-rich (taxes on the rich have been drastically cut under Macron) and anti-democratic (he’s ignored the result of the last election and nominated a plethora of prime ministers from parties who lost).

Macron always has a knack to try to use things popular with younger people to score political gains. Infamously with the ZEvent, for instance.

It is now traditional for them to answer with “Shut your mouth Macron, this isn’t about you”.

The original source of the article is Bild, a German tabloid. I don’t see this story relayed on other reputable news outlets.

Big red flag for me. Let’s see how things are evolving but I’ll be skeptical until then.

A moment of normalcy and laughter before the events of the evening unfold.

Disappointed that this comic isn’t older and I can’t binge read it :( But I’m eager to read the rest!

Fucking hell, y’all make me realize how lucky I am with my bank that runs without gapps.

Wow, I admit that’s reaally bad 😅

Damn… The two extremes of the cyberpunk dystopia: no tech at all vs tech slavery.

Some people have no smartphone at all. How can they be customers at your bank?

I agree. If there was no link in the mind of the author, why would Mama Bear answer this to Baby Bear’s question?

Metal vocalists hate love him!

I wonder who’s the artist behind the symbol

I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn’t want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|
