Is there any research on how effective of a prevention technique this is? Jail alone is an ineffective crime prevention for humans, I wonder if it’s different for bears.

Buy European@feddit.uk•EU funding ban on high-risk inverters, including Chinese suppliers, extends to Energy Storage / Power Conversion SystemsEnglish
6·1 month agoPlaying stupid games during an energy crisis to benefit a couple local oligarchs. Whatever potential cybersecurity threat exists from Chinese inverters is outweighed a thousandfold by the US actively extorting the EU by leveraging fossil fuel dependence.

A Prius can tow like 700 kg if you put a hitch on it, almost the limit for a B class license.
I was like 90% sure it’s a joke. It’s not
Thankfully it was published 4 years ago and didn’t seem to go anywhere in that time. Good.
The art is in how the science is applied.
No, the art is how you express yourself. The theory is just “the way most people in a culture do it because other people in this culture like it”. There is certainly some biological reasoning behind it that is common across cultures, but it’s a fairly small part of music theory. Consider a simple question like “why are dissonant chords considered dissonant?” and it can lead you down a path of discovery.
It isn’t eurocentric to believe harmonious and rhythmic music sounds better than music that isn’t.
It absolutely is eurocentric to enforce western music theory as some holy book that separates good music from bad music. It’s a tool that helps you write music that sounds good to a western ear. But a lot of good music can disagree or break the norms of western music theory.

World News@lemmy.world•‘Project Freedom’: U.S. military to free blockaded commercial ships in the Strait of HormuzEnglish
3·1 month agoControl over the straight is one of the main reasons they’re still geopolitically relevant. I don’t see them giving it up for good, they will at least say that the blockade is still on. Given they have a lot of naval drones and missiles which are not 100% countered by US hardware, I don’t foresee any insurance companies co-signing on commercial ships crossing the straight.

6·1 month agoAu contraire, a truly “mutualist” society would never fall for the bullshit that is happening.
If everyone had trust and a good working relationship with their neighbors and solidarity with their working class comrades, the US capitalist class and therefore the government in its current form would quickly cease to exist.
The problem is specifically that the US capitalists inserted themselves as unavoidable middlemen into every aspect of US life. Notice how you’re not getting food from your community kitchen, you’re getting food from Uber Eats. You’re not usually calling a repairman from your local community, you’re calling a company that sends one out to you. You’re not getting help from your community militia, you’re getting it from an armed wing of the bourgeois government.
(ironically, this was possible to do through years or “rugged individualism” propaganda, that you are repeating here; other things like car dependency also made things worse)
This lack of local community is a big part of why there is so little organized protest. It’s very difficult to rile up your neighbors to take up arms and meaningfully protest when you barely even know them. This would apply even more in your imagined scenario of everyone becoming individualists who raise their own cows - people wouldn’t even have time to protest because they would spend all of it on their own survival, and those who stick their head up are easily arrested and thrown into jail, with noone to protect them.
Nah, next is replacing all UI with a copilot prompt that always shits on your code and guilt-trips you when you try to look up some repo instead of just asking it to vibecode it for you.
The problem right now is not that we can’t 3d print a tree. Making trees is generally as easy as planting a seed and waiting a while. The problem is that we live under capitalism and it’s not profitable to do.
That bottle looks large enough to sustain a person for a while (maybe days). Additionally, have you seen what Beret Guy is capable of?

News@lemmy.world•Solar booms in industrial US midwest as energy crisis persists
92·1 month agoI’m assuming it’s significantly more expensive per Watt to install permanent supports designed to withstand car impacts, and a superstructure that is guaranteed to not collapse for a few decades, than it is to just ancor a few empty barrels in a lake and plop a solar panel on there. And yall need to be getting rid of parking ASAP, not tying more money and energy generation to it.
Nowadays the umbrella is pretty broad, people like Mamdani are often indeed called or identify as socdems, and yet they’re also reformist socialists.I just had a brainfart and swapped the words “democratic” and “socialist” around, my bad
Ok, that’s fair. I think in the context of this meme it was used in a more broad sense tho. It compares reformist “socdems” with “tankies”, who are therefore “any revolutionaries” by contrast.
