No, the other commentator is right.

What they said is that you add 100 km/h, and you gain 2h when you add it to a slow train with 100 km/h, but if you add 100 km/h to a fast train with 400 km/h, you only gain a few minutes.

That is called diminishing returns.

A little column A, a little column B. The problem isn’t really the length of the molecules, but the carbon fluorine bonds in it. Those are what make them so stable and why this compound class is used at all.

Bigger molecules are not so easy to get through your cell membranes, which is why they argue that they are safer. Problem is, that over time they do kinda break down into smaller molecules. So over longer time frame they release unsafe molecules in small amounts.

Shorter fluorinated compounds are faster going into your cells but also out of them.

Then the question is how much damage do those compounds while in your body? That only time (and studies) will tell.

But honestly? After working on the analytical part of that field for a bit and seeing how the industry bullshitted their way through till now? I don’t trust them one bit.

Sure, you can see it that way and I wouldn’t even argue it’s illogical. But the way socialism was taught in GDR is the definition I gave above and China is not socialist under that definition.

That’s easy: private ownership of means of production is not socialist.

I will even include another non socialist fact : China has billionaires (in US$). Those should not exist in a socialist country.

Wait, just to confirm: you really believe that signing a pact to partition Poland isn’t a sign that in fact Poland will be invaded?

And why did generous general Stalin agree to that whole spheres of influence thing in the first place? If he wanted to protect poor Poland from the evil Germanz, surely telling the world about Hitler’s evil plans would have been even better? Or at least warning Poland.

But hm, strange, nothing of the sort was done. One could get the impression generous general Stalin didn’t care for the plight of the common polish citizen that was just to be unleashed on them.

It’s not so much the non aggression part that people have a problem with, it’s more the let’s together invade Poland and hold a celebratory victory parade after that normal people find not so nice.

Thanks for that link, didn’t know that lead is mostly from human sources.

But what do you want them to do? It is literally in the soil and cocoa plants are accumulators for heavy metals.

Furthermore they aim for only working with slave free cocoa plantations. So they are limited in who they can buy from. Those two things together probably don’t leave a lot of possible sources of cocoa.

There are multiple such exhibitions in different countries and I hope you don’t mean that they all use prisoners bodies??

And at least for the German exhibition Körperwelten all bodies are donated willingly and I don’t know of any accusations that they stole somebodies corpse. So how is it disrespectful if those people willingly donated their bodies?

I personally found the german exhibition extremely fascinating and informative and highly recommend it to everybody who can stomach it. … and only if the exhibition only used willing participants instead of prisoners bodies of course.

Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.

But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.

Ok yes, then I agree. But deciding to stop a mass murderer has often a possible life ending consequence and I think most agree that it would still be the right way to act.

Refusing lawful orders comes with life-ending consequences.

Not even close to real? As far as I’m aware, death punishment is not what happened to any of those that refused during Vietnam or Afghanistan.

And also for a certain value of lawful I might add. Last I heard congress didn’t say the USA is going to war with Iran. Making it not exactly a war situation. Hey, now that you say it, suspiciously close to the last time a Republican president decided to play little dictator and fucked up the middle east. Strange how that keeps on happening.

No, because they provide different services.

To explain with an analogy:
The streets and car producers are not responsible if I drive to the British museum to look at stolen art, but the museum itself is most definitely responsible, even though they themselves didn’t steal it.

As soon as you want to earn money with it, you are most definitely responsible for it in my eyes. If it truly is a non commercial thing like Lemmy, then I’m on your side.

That’s my current state as well: if I kill myself just like that, the ones in power won. So I’m not letting them win. Either by surviving or… your option.

Profits are still extracted to the USA.

And if you buy european stuff, that also needs to be produced. And if those European companies have increased demand, they need to invest in bigger productions, where people who lost their job in the USA owned plant can go to work.

This time it really is a net zero game for the workers.

Yes, mostly some small islands somewhere in the Atlantic.

Und bei Merz selbst das nicht.

Agreed, but that wasn’t what the other comment demanded. If we treat other people like Nazis treat their victims, you are a Nazi yourself.

That Nazis do not get the benefit of the doubt or a public soapbox or platform is something I agree with and hopefully what the other commentator meant instead of executions and ovens. But it is important to not dehumanise Nazis and not stoop to their level. They are all too human, that is the problem.
