I’ve tried it, it’s completely overhyped. It’s definitely smoother and less bitter than normal coffee but not worth the higher price and given that it’s impossible to guarantee that you get it ethically sourced, I would recommend against it.

Not if your goal is to reach net zero emissions at some point

There are definitely use cases for battery-electric trains:

• We have these in Germany usually in areas with low traffic. E.g. if a train line is only serviced a couple of times a day, it’s more cost-effective to carry the batteries with you than to electrify the line.
• Another use case are train ferries. They are the reason why Germany also had Diesel-powered high-speed trains for a while.
• Another challenge in Europe is the lack of harmonization of power supplies of train lines between countries. In cross-border traffic, trains have to be adapted to work with different energy supplies. Battery-electric trains can add flexibility for these scenarios. E.g. Germany uses AC 15 kV 16.7Hz, the Netherlands DC 1.5 kV on low-speed and AC 25 kV 50Hz on high-speed lines. When a train goes from the Netherlands to Germany, it disconnects from the Dutch system and reconnects to the German system on the fly. For a moment in between, the train loses power. If the train lacks momentum or has to stop unexpectedly, the train is stranded and has to be pushed over the border by another train that is independent of the power supply.

Because most people have their phone on vibrate 100% of the time. I had a OnePlus and my slider got stuck. Couldn’t change the setting for 2 years but as it was stuck in vibrate, it didn’t matter anyway.

He’s not doing genocide, depending on your viewpoint he might not be doing enough to stop it up to abetting genocide but he’s not Netanyahu. Stick to the facts and don’t pretend Israel doesn’t have agency.

They’re not?

Okay, then it’s exactly what I thought. Thanks!

I mean, I like Elon

Honest question, why?

I really like DS9 but there are a lot of worthy contenders for the worst episode. The one where Sisko renders a whole planet uninhabitable just because one guy pissed him off comes to mind and of course Move Along Home.

Worfs character gets assassinated a lot in TNG and DS9, mainly him being an extremely shitty father…

I hate that episode with a passion. Worf just randomly becoming a terrorist with no repercussions is just so extremely stupid.

Hmm… I think the Ezri character arc is actually pretty strong for being in the show for only one season of a show in the nineties. I mean, they had the whole conflict with Worf up to a new friendship and her dissing the Klingon empire, the episode where she helps Garak, the episode where she finds the killer, the episode where she helps Lennier detect the Houdinis, the episode where O’Brian goes missing and we see her family… The only thing I really didn’t like was how she was basically shown as incompetent in the Nog PTSD episode. That was a wasted opportunity showing her as a great counselor. But Troi was also always incompetent at her job, so I guess that’s tradition in Star Trek. But all of these episodes are unique to Ezri, except for AR-558, none of these story lines would have worked with Jadzia.
