    Well,

    France has 60M inhabitants, Germany 80M.
    How should Germany polute 10x more than France?
    Who and how should use the energy? You have no idea about scales, as I said above: you are an idiot.

    End user orices are actually going down since a few years, and if you are using heise.de or other web sites to switch away from your local power company you basically pay 30% less than you used to pay.

    Consumer energy prices are falling since 5 years in germany.
    And we are and always were far away fromthe top, look e.g. at Hawaii.
    Comsumers never payed a premium here, as simple house hold consumers have a fixed price, completely unrelated to the spot market.

    No it is not, but up to you.
    Median without knowing, min, max and average is a meaningless number.
    Statements like: over thje years the mediagn increased are even more meyaningless. Especially if you talk about income and theu amount of poor increased much more than the amount of rich people.

    No, it is not.
    Read a book about it.
    First of all, meat only has half the calories per weight than carbs or fat.
    Secondly, to yield a certain amount of calories via meat, you have to feed the animal ten times as much food, that is mot efficient in any meaningfull way.

    Oh man are you nitpicking.
    Do you have a single real world example where you can 'tail cal optimize' a non recursive function call?
    Hu? It would require that the target function takes the same arguments in the same order.
    And then you would not call it 'tail call optimization' even if it is the same thing.
    I never heard about a compiler trying to optimize a JSR away for a JMP if the call is not a recursive one.

    It is only for recursion, does not matter if dual or single.
    For other calls, there is nothing to optimize, they are basically 'automatically optimized'.

    Tail call optimization refers to optimization of recursive functions.
    The question if the caller or calee clears the stack has bottom line no influence.
    For C it is required that the callee clears it because of variable argument lists.
    On the other hand you could use the heap to transfer arguments, but that leaves the same fundamental problem.

    I have a serious problem with this kind of article redefining what words mean

    The Left has been doing it since at least the 1970s. For example, redefining abortion from killing babies to "excising tissue masses" and "freedom of choice".

    This is what I answered to.
    A fertilized egg is not a baby. An the whole thing has nothing to do with left and right.

    So either you want to explain why you think a fertilized egg and/or a 6 weeks old fetus is a baby, or you want to explain what this topic has to do with being left or right.

    But obviously you don't want ...
