    If we had gone 100% nuclear 40 years ago, we had not 4 majour accidents with estimated one million dead in Ukraine and suroundings but 40 - 50 majour accidents.

    Germany is burning more coal then ever.
    You are obviously an idiot ...

    In fact a recent analysis says the children who grew up near nuclear power plants are healthier because they are exposed to less pollution.
    Now I see: you are an idiot. Which pollution does a nuckear power plant prevent? Same factories, same cars, same ships, same pollution from household heating are surrounding them.

    I suggest to start reading up about the problems nuclear power has. Or do you realy think the nation of minds and thinkers and engineers consists only out of idiots? And the prime idiot is the chancelor (who has a PhD in Physics) btw.

    I do, but I do not believe all of the bs lies about nuclear power.
    But you believe lies about Germanys coal?

    You can google about both power sources btw ... what is preventing you from getting a clue instead of insulting fellow /. readers!

    We are tlsking about EU citizens. They have 'the right to be forgotten'. Can't be so hard to implement it world wide instead of trying to decide by domain or location if you show the 'inapropriated data' or not.

    The only thing relevant for climate change is CO2, so yes, it is proven since the 1870s.
    You and Hansen, if he really said what you claim, that nuclear power is the only way out of the current situation, are wrong.
    You know that, everyone knows that. You can not build nuclear power plants as fast as solar and wind plants,
    E.g. in germany you can not build them at all. So ... you are 100% contradicted. Hansens Papers from the late 1980th are no longer relevant. Everyome knows that nuckear power is super expensive, and no one wants it in his back yard.

    I'm a software engineer working mostly in the are of requiremenfts engineering.

    Why don't you simply use an iPad and an Android for 3 month side by side?

    Sorry, this bullshit: Their walled garden that require you to buy their overpriced accessories? makes you not look bright. Not this: The requirement to use their shitty iTunes app to load your stuff into the phone? Oh, you are on a PC? Then install Ubuntu, it accesses the iPhone/iPad natively as USB drive.

    On my Android Yoga Book, I can not even change the typing language in a simple way. And when I use its "keyboard" the spelling correction does not work. It only underlines misspelled words, but you can not touch on them and fix it. It has no "lens" to set the curser when you are typing ...

    It is really close to unusable. And you ask "what's so better about Apple"??? The Apple products work, and you have hardly any quarrels with it (I have because I hate the new UIs) ... my Android things don't really work. They are compromises. Well, I can have an IDE on my Android device and compile for it directly on the device. That is a plus. But why exactly my Yoga Book can not be mounted as USB drive is beyond me ... so: I payed $500 for a Yoga Book, wich is much much worse than an iPad, because being able to mount it as an USB drive was the second reason I wanted one (the first was to be able to run my own code on it, without hassle, and even have an IDE on it)

    Honestly, if stuff is on a more or less constant temperature and safe from light, most things last nearly indefinitely. E.g. sugar, flour, oils, etc. especially if they are in air tight containers. Even a egg in the fridge lasts half a year, it only dries out slowly.

    Food in tin cans easy lasts for decades, despite of the expiration date being in 6 month or what ever.

    Why are you so insulting?

    And neither do you fucktard
    Actually I have ... because I worked in the energy sector. And to come back to the topic: I was just challenging the retarded wording "leading climate scientists" :D

    Science has leaders.
    I disagree.

    James Hansen has lead the science on this subject
    He has not.
    As I pointed out the basics are known since 1870. And I know about it since 1073 or something. Nearly a decade before the time you cited ... the 1980s you said, right?

    And: I never heard about hat guy before :D so he can not be that important/leading.

    As long as you have fat the body does not burn any of its own proteins.

    And, in your example you where eating proteins anyway ... so why do you come to the idea instead of burning the food the body is burning itself?

    Ketosis is "fat burning only" ... in other words: when you eat proteins, the body burns its fat and the proteins you eat. Not its own muscles, why would it?

    No. Just the first one. The rest of the sensors all correctly show that the car didn't brake, because as far as the car was concerned the driver never pressed them
    All the other sensors show: the car breaked an the non existing pedal sensor is broken.

    No idea why you think the pedal has a sensor, it needs none.
