$0.50 says that the “reveal” was part of the study protocol. I.e. “how people react to being knowingly vs. unknowingly manipulated”.

There are a number of them, but they are typically more expensive. Avocadostore is German based and shows quite a few.

AR was pre-NFT in my mind. Google glasses etc were hyped like crazy before VR took over the hype and was meant to be a “revolution” in gaming…

Same shit as “natural gas”. Don’t worry, it’s organic certified!

I mean the logical explanation is that companies are filling up their warehouses as much as possible before the tarrifs hit. It’s not like the US has suddenly tripled the amount of foreign goods it buys.

*Edit: weird typo.

Ah what the shit made someone actually commit to producing this monstrosity?!

…did you just compare almdudler to mountain dew?.. !Austria@feddit.org, schaut doch alle her!

If you have €2k/month spare to throw into an ETF recommended by strangers, maybe you should have a financial advisor? it all depends on your acceptable risk and long term expectations.

I would really like to join you in being a supporter, but I am not wealthy enough to pay €35 for a single t-shirt. Do they have frequent sales?

It honestly depends on the source of the gas (i.e. cost of extraction and refinement) and transport method (pipeline vs. shipped). It is difficult to average this over a long period of time. You could look at Gazprom’s reported profit margin, but again this is not helpful without context.

Prices I’ve seen are typically quoted in $/mmbtu - it’s a weird unit, but it works for whatever reason.

I understand the sentiment you are going for, but I think it is a little cheap regarding the opinion of 300 million+ people.

In my horribly narrow opinion, the American freedom is simply the freedom to choose. Nothing more, nothing less. The freedom to own a tiger, buy a tank or be “Florida man” for a day.

It is not “free” from manipulation and sometimes it really feels like a 5 year old choosing to do the opposite of the right thing just “because”.

Sidenote: I ABSOLUTELY do not think it is the best way to build a nurturing society, but I get why it has such a passionate supporter base.

If you map this to the political compass instead, I’ll give you a virtual high five.

Regulations only work in improving the well-being of the single market if the local producers can remain competitive after implementation. There are a small number of regulations in the EU which have damaged local manufacturers without significant improvement in quality of life e.g the medical device regulation. I do not know enough about the ai regulation to understand if it is for for purpose or not however.

Given the “free for all” other countries appear to be giving their AI systems, the EU may look to re-consider the ai regulation’s implementation.

Oh… :(

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

We can get back on topic :) Green hydrogen still doesn’t make sense compared to direct use of energy, except in some cases (steel production and long haul flights are normally quoted as these use cases)

Hydrogen requires 40 kWh of electricity to produce 1 kg (equivalent to ~ 29 kWh). So you have lost around 30% just at production. Then you need to compress and cool is significantly to transport, which requires again significant energy and then you need to actually move it which is again energy intensive.

It would be far more efficient to simply use some areas where renewables can be built out in significant proportion and then transport the (e.g.) electricity directly to the exchange via HVDC cables where it is needed. And where hydrogen is still viable, it can be electrolysed closer to the use case.

I never said anything about hating the Saudi’s. I said hydrogen as a general energy source doesn’t make sense at the moment.

The only cheap hydrogen is grey hydrogen which helps nobody at the moment, might as well just import oil/gas instead. “Green” hydrogen is not cost effective, even with solar prices where they are - why not just build a subsea power cable if Saudia Arabia wants to send energy to the EU? It would probably be cheaper and more efficient in the long run.

Your links to household energy prices are dumb - what natural resource do most middle east states have that EU countries (e.g. Germany) do not have in such vast quantities? I’ll give you a hint, it’s used for energy production…

EU prices are currently high because the EU rejected its cheapest source of energy because the supplier turned out to be a cunt.

I don’t know if turning to another autocratic regime will be better for it in the long run, what do you think?

I never stated any positive or negative association in my comment
