I wouldn’t say sanctions have accomplished “nothing”. Sanctions make everything more difficult and more expensive for Russia. Their profits from fossil fuels are way lower than they would be without sanctions. They lost 200+ billion dollars they had earmarked for the war because EU froze those...

I’m not sure we can look that deep in to it. It seems to me that he thought that USSR was worse of the two, that if USA should be fighting someone, it should be USSR. Again, that doesn’t mean he was pro-Nazi. I fail to see why we should exclude things that happened before WW2 started. Besides...

The quote doesn’t really make the claim that US should have been allied with the Nazis, just that of the two regimes, he thought Soviets were worse. I’m not sure why we should focus on just post-1941. In the end both Nazi Germany and Stalinist Soviet Union were responsible for millions of...

How is the satellite "owned by NATO"? It's owned by a private company that is based in a NATO country. That does not mean it's "owned by NATO". Hell, Russia has stolen a bunch of assets that were located in Russia and owned by a Finnish company. Nobody started talking about Article 5 or how...

I'm not sure which quote you are referring to. There is one quote attributed to Patton ("we defeated the wrong enemy") which shows that he thought the Soviets to be the bigger threat than Nazis were.

That’s my question as well. As far as I know, it’s a Finnish company with operations in various countries.

Well, “Humane” is an actual word… https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humane

I’m reminded of a story a friend of my told. She had a doctors appointment and was waiting for her turn. There was an elderly Asian lady there waiting for a doctor, typing something in to an electronic translator. Then the translator blurted out: “Diarrhea!”.

I’m in the market for new car in the coming years. And right now Tesla Model Y really is the objectively best option for me. But I don’t want to give that fascist cunt one cent of my money, so I have to look elsewhere.

America, get your shit together. One thing to do is to always vote blue, in every election, all the time. Even if you personally dislike the candidate, and the GOP candidate seems so nice, vote blue. No, not voting at all is not an option.

It's time we cleanse the Earth of Meta and their filth.

Well, yeah. I should have typed "two types of heating-systems that use heat pumps" instead of "two types of heat pumps". I know all this. And no, it's not hundreds of degrees in the ground. But the latent heat can still be used for heating. Just like you can heat your home with outside air...

Hey, I appreciate that and you seem ok. But way too often I see (or rather, hear) these people who get in their noise-makers, start it up, rev it couple of times and start going. And if they have to stop at an intersection, they rev it there as well. And as this often happens downtown, the sound...

Tracks are one things, public streets are another. And the latter is where bystanders get to “enjoy” these cars. And don’t get me started on motorcycles.

”In GT mode, the MC20 is almost too quiet, but Corsa will probably wake the neighbors” Am I the only one who hates these fucking morons with their sportscars, making a racket that basically is shouting “hey everybody, look at ME! I crave attention!”.

There are basially two kinds of heatpumps: air and geothermal. Air heatpumps extracts latent heat from outside air and pumps the heat in to the inside air (they can also run in reverse). Geothermal heatpumps extract latent heat from the ground and it's usually circulated in the floor. For...

You know I don't even know what you are trying to say anymore... The point of underfloor-heating is comfort and cheapness of operation. By comfort I mean that having a warm floor to stand on is very comfortable. By cheapness of operation I mean that you can keep the interior temperature lower...

There are solutions to nuclear waste. It can be stored underground (which is being done in Finland as we speak), or it could be reprocessed and reused. Now, you might disagree with those solutions, but they are solutions nevertheless. So, what about the waste from coal plants? Just pump it in...

There is no existing reactor at that site, it’s a brand new power plant. There’s two reactors in Loviisa and three in Olkiluoto. Hanhikivi would be brand new plant. And there’s a research reactor few kilometers from downtown Helsinki.

All the time. Does anone ever think about what to do with the waste coal plants spew? Yes, including radiation.
