What about having a life support system connected?
Every commercial fuel recycling plant in existence releases large amounts of radioactivity into the air and water, so I dont really see them as a good alternative.
Here is a world map of iodine 129 before fukushima, its one of many radioactive isotopes released at nuclear reprocessing plants: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/images/iupac/j_pac-2015-0703_fig_076.jpg The website where I got it from: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/element/Iodine#section=Isotopes-in-Forensic-Science-and-Anthropology
Considering how long it would take to build safe reactors, how expensive it would be and how much radioactive contamination would be created both at the production of fuel and later when the storage ever goes wrong after thousands of years, I just dont see any reason to ever invest into it nowadays, when renewables and batteries have gotten so good.
Yeah, I visited sweden once, where I camped in nature. The cities were meh, but the nature was very nice.
In the east maybe, its definetly not bad at all in northern germany (Schleswig Holstein).
It is definetly the superior plug for everything outdoor and or higher power.
Its way too bulky for smaller devices.
Here in Germany we have type F and C, where C is used for low power devices and also fits into the F socket, but not the other way around.
So even the type F plug would be too big for smaller devices.
It would be a kinda fun league to watch, but I dont want to hear about athletes dying because they took obscene amounts of steroids to be the best.
As a German, afaik if you want to permanently move to germany you need to prove that you can support yourself financially (or someone else will?), so you will need a job offer and or some savings.
There is no requirement to not be disabled, but being disabled could make fulfilling those requirements more difficult.
They also allow you to plug in a grounded Schuko Plug (Its the german one) without connecting the earth, cant get much more dangerous than that. I think the french plug also can be plugged in but it doesnt connect the earth either.
I have ridden with a tire that had cracks like this for over a year lol.
However I would not recommend inflating close to the maximum rated pressure.
I know, but thats still much better than it was before and I think we will slowly move towards full legalisation.
But seeds were actually always legal, you just werent allowed to plant them.
What is also good is that weed is no longer classified as a narcotic (Betäubungsmittel), so it can be prescribed like any other medicine. While medicinal Cannabis was legal before, the hurdles to get it were way too high.
Here in Germany, Corona Beer was never that big, so I guess the amount of people who bought it because they had just noticed it for the first time is higher than the amount of people who would have bought it but didnt because of the disease.
Boycotting Corona beer? Here in Germany I have heard that their sales went up when Corona happened.
Everything can go wrong in one way or another, it just depends how high the risk is. People drive their car every day, even if there is a chance that they wont make it to the next day because of it.
But the risk just isnt felt to be too high in comparison to the usefulness, or people wouldnt drive.
If I knew that it was fairly safe to go to the moon, I would do it, even if it could mean that I dont come back, because it would be a pretty special experience.
Here in Germany some McDonalds and Burger King do have self serve drink machines with unlimited drinks, but they are not that many (I would guess 10-20%). Some other fast food chains are more likely to have them, like Subway.
Well, the drill bit wont fit if the hole is too long and thin, so its not always quite that easy.
That is mostly there for another reason, to distinguish between different voltages.
When a connector is meant for a different voltage the Earth connector (which is thicker than the rest) gets moved along the circle so it would be impossible to plug it into one with a different voltage. The nub stops you from just turning the plug to make it fit.
Greetings from Germany from someone who has used these quite a few times, mostly 16A and 32A variants and has never seen a locking one.
I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.
Wenn man das auto schon genau parken muss, kann man auch einfach nen roboterarm haben, der den Ladestecker reinsteckt, ist günstiger und effizienter.
Have you ever tried just pulling it back a little bit before you pee?
Thats what I do when its cold outside and I want to pee, but not on me.
This is the automation that I use to control a Hoymiles HM-600 Solar Microinverter to achieve a zero export on a battery with some other features. I use an ESP32 with OpenDTU for the communication and a shelly 3em to monitor my usage. I found the core template section somewhere else on the internet and changed it a bit, but its definetly not perfect.

I also have an automation that pushes the virtual buttons shown by OpenDTU that turns the inverter off when the battery is too low and back on again. Only do this if you have a BMS that can reliably disconnect the battery if the automation doesnt work.
The advantage is that I dont have to build a switch with an inrush current reduction. If you connect a solar microinverter to a battery I would also recommend fusing the cables from the battery to the inverter, because a battery can provide a much higher peak current than a solar panel.
