    yeah higher suicide rate than USA.

  5. instead of insults try math and physics

    most the electricity in usa comes from fossil or nuclear plants, so better include all the costs for moving those fuels and wastes around too

    electric comes out somewhat better for vehicles but not as much as your emotions might imply

    what slackers, the big auto makers are seriously working on electric car that can be sold at profit, unlike Teslas. This was just taxpayers being forced to prop up overpriced toys for the well-to-do.

  10. Re: Phrasing on Systemd-Free Artix Linux OS is Looking For Packagers (artixlinux.org) · · Score: 1

    The "reasons" for systemd are given by those who don't admin hundreds of systems, but rather are immature idealists engaging in mental masturbation. No serious system admin I know thinks it provides any useful thing. It is contrary to the Unix way, adds immense time to troubleshooting, doesn't solve any problem an Enterprise server has. And ironically at my employer, I also have to waste hours fixing systemd issues for our data scientists as it is an impediment to the operation of common services developed for other groups to use. In short, systemd is a distraction and time waster

  11. Re: Phrasing on Systemd-Free Artix Linux OS is Looking For Packagers (artixlinux.org) · · Score: 1

    You show your ignorance making such a statement, even some of the distros (sles, ubuntu, redhat) init.d scripts fail in the upgrade to systemd version. You find systemd nice for your home PC or laptop, that's nice. Meanwhile those of us who admin hundreds of systems find it an unstable and time consuming bloatware that tries to solve a problem we didn't have.

    because a serious science forum would ban them. slashdot in 2018 has articles about possibility of next iphone being available in each of the gay pride flag colors.

    Yes that extra little bit about plasma universe was unnecessary and added by shill for that theory

    The filaments (having no similarity whatsoever with discharges inside globe toy nor with lightning) though are real and were discovered in mid 80s.

    how fast does the earth spin for an object going essentially lightspeed? Not at all, essentially. A distant galaxy subtends an incredibly minute portion of the sky, irrelevant its spin, all components of a photon or neutrinos velocity will sum up to lightspeed in one direction.

  17. indeed, the only conclusion we can reach is that the Democrat's IT people were incompetents. It is nonsense to say Russian could in any way "throw" the election, that's not how Trump won. Gerrymandering and strategic winning of key areas, yes.

    300m Euro is chump change in the realm of fossil fuels. Whether or not the Irish government "invests" this pittance doesn't matter. This has nothing to do with how much fossil fuel is burned in Ireland. It's pointless gesture.
