I’ve seen an article about submerged concrete spheres being used as pump energy storage. Here’s the relevant press release.

75% efficiency seems pretty decent considering you’re not as reliant on geographical locations (or at least get a lot more options)

How does bologna only score 49% for the speed limit, when the entire city was switched to 30 in January 2024. they even mention that project themselves.

Did they use older data for some reason? Then why title it 2025?

In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I’m a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?

Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of “owner” is used. I’m the “Besitzer” of my apartment (I possess it), but not the “Eigentümer” (I cannot sell it).

This is ridiculous. I should be able to drive my F150 inside the store as well.

“We’re gonna have a great economy”

“Project 2025 is not mine, I didn’t read it”

“I will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours”

Trump has never been up front about anything other than molesting women.

They do backfill, but they obviously lose quite a bit of volume in the process, so they cannot completely fill the hole. The remaining part is usually flooded.

To be fair: it’s really hard to notice of you are completely bound in your right eye, which the BfV traditionally tends to be.

Small correction: the NPD was not banned because they were largely irrelevant. They had little to no influence on politics, which is why the court argued that a ban would be inappropriate.

Deleting accounts doesn’t mean the company deletes your data. Even under GDPR (Everyone else is completely SOL here, I believe), they can keep if it is required for their business, unless you explicitly demand a full deletion.

Cultural and media affairs will be steered by Wolfram Weimer, a well-known journalist and publisher

(The guy used to be editor in chief of Welt, which belongs to the same infamous Axel Springer publishing house as Politico)

Just so everyone knows what kind of guy this is, I’ll just go and translate a direct quote of his from 2018, that is found on his German Wikipedia article:

The term “climate denier” has been used by red-green (note: this refers to Social Democrats and the Green party) people for years to stigmatize people that dare to doubt the theory of man-made climate change in its claim to be absolute. Thee term “climate denier” is meant to kill open discussion because it is reminiscent of “Holocaust denier”.

Offtopic: I think this was the first time I actually used my eID I activated two years ago to log in to anything (#Neuland). Had to look up the PIN, but other than that it worked nicely.
