We talked about it before, how a fundamental restructuring of the human both biologically and psychologically would be required to overcome the tribalism and predisposition to violence, something that really isn't possible with your average human once they're out of the womb(at least I think...

Been reading up on the gas industry for a bit now, the entire hydrocarbon industry really. Matter of fact remains that LNG is still more expensive and less secure than pipeline, and German supply is dominated by pipeline... and in the case of gas from the western siberian basin the extraction is...

If I recall correctly, and that's a shaky if, then the support base the IRA held with the irish-american demographic was the by far most important in terms of finances and armaments supplies. Whatever Gaddafi, ETA and the eastern bloc supplied was overshadowed by the smuggled goods coming in...

What the impact on ukrainian society and the integration of russian culture into the national identity so far, be it conscious or unconscious, will be is going to be interesting to observe. But it probably will lead to a national David vs Goliath perception, with how Russia performs so far...

A bit of both as I understood it. Lots and lots of suing from HK and countersuing from the government and political squabbling that didn't result in much. The army said the gun wasn't accurate after sustained firing, individual soldiers asked about it said different, but in the end the defence...

Periodically checking the news for that, but so far I haven't been able to find anything concrete. The 100Bil have been lost in the bureaucratic jungle, it seems. Will update once anything comes up though.

With the current LNG infrastructure in place, it's not an option. The german government has been pumping resources into building new LNG terminals in North Sea ports and aims to open them as soon as possible in the next few years. But for the meantime foreign ports in Europe are virtually the...

Reports of Russia cutting off Poland gas supplies spike European gas prices TTF prices up 12% Adam Button Tuesday, 26/04/2022 | 17:19 GMT+2 I was initially cautious of this report because it's regarding the Yamal pipeline and there have been numerous false reports of Russia cutting it off...

No it isn't an excuse for that. I don't support the lack of german supplies to Ukraine and the german diplomacy with Russia. My post was meant to give somewhat of an overview of the economic dimensions behind it, and how deeply dependent Germany is on russian energy. And it pains me to say...

To give a bit of context as to why this is not happening - the simple reality is that Germany is too dependent on russian energy imports to ignore or outright cut its supply lines. From the Press Release of the German Ministry for Statistics on the 24th of February 2022: Trade with Russia in...

Sure, giving out a punishment should be left to the legal experts. But a case as extraordinarily horrific and as well publicised as that one will simply form and forge an opinion on what justice is and what an adequate punishment should be in the average Joe. Not that they would have much of an...

Petrol bombs thrown at PSNI in Derry after republican parade ⁦today (18.04.2022)

Yeah, you're right. And I worded something a bit wrong earlier, by castration I was thinking of the historical example of eunuchs, not castration as in dogs, sorry for that, English not being my first language and whatnot. The understanding of the "extreme case" that I hold here is shaped by...

It's called escalate to deescalate and it's becoming more likely every day

It's funny cause it's true

What I'm thinking here is the crime of rape itself is something that no legal system should or can tolerate. One doesn't rape out of a need for survival or self-defense, one doesn't rape because of hunger, one doesn't rape because it's perceived as morally right. Rape is something that should be...

European Energy in Numbers To give an overview of the total european energy consumption, I've decided to compile a bit of data. Figures are primarily taken from the BP Statistical Review for 2021, however I'll also be including from other sources such as Eurostat Energy Overview and various...
