Have you seen said video footage?

Autonomous rocket landing on an autonomous ship. It was pretty incredible

They're just as big in Europe. Especially with the tiktok generation.

Although the Airforce ones might be more popular overall, but Jordans are definitely a second.

Why when I press accept cookies it just reloads the website and shows me the same banner? Not even Facebook can get this to work?

I'd be curious how that compares to other countries?

You propose returning to communism because they had less freedom of movement and didn't have any choice tommovd somewhere in search of a better life?

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Earth’s hottest month: these charts show what happened in July; what comes next

Well yeah nobody is saying that nature is fucked.

It's just that we're living right now and not before the last ice age. Sucks for us.

I've been thinking of making my own frame bags. You got any pointers for me? Completely new to the hobby but it seems fun

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Google Maps has become an eyesore

Or that for some reason zooming in works differently in the search screen. Instead of zooming where I'm pinching it just always zooms in the middle.

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Bark beetles are eating through Germany’s Harz forest

Yeah I get that. But removing underbrush (ignoring the impossibility of the scale of it) would make controlled burns again possible.

Currently there's so much that any controlled burn would get out of control and turn into a real one. At least that's how I understood it

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Bark beetles are eating through Germany’s Harz forest

Couldn't they remove some of the underbrush?

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Unpacking Google’s Web Environment Integrity specification

Why are we in debt to them? Google has become stinking rich from everything that they've done. That's payment enough.

Moving freight for long distances is a lot more efficient than moving people for long distances.

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: The US economy and the EU were the same size in 2008, the US is now nearly 2X

I don't understand this argument. If everyone has become more productive, why would wages rise? Wouldn't we see that as inflation then? I think the rise of productivity is more seen in the growth of the GDP

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: When an app asks for permissions, it should have a “feed fake data” option

Thank you, I rooted my phone a few days ago and have been putting off fixing safety net.

But that worked and was absolutely painless.

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: What Reddit Got Wrong

Doesn't Reddit own the data now? That's the unfortunate truth of these platforms. They offer your a platform and pay for hosting and you give them your attention and content.

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Travel across Germany with the 49 Euro ticket

Very cool tool, would love to see what kind the destinations are without reading. Like what is a lake or what is a big city.

Aber dennoch, sehr cool :)

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Switching from QWERTY to Colemak and Back

I switched to Colemak and couldn't be any happier now. Faster and more comfortable than ever

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: I downloaded all 1.6M posts on Bluesky

Considering there's no explication on bluesky's website, i don't understand why this comment is downvoted

e4e5 | 2 years ago | on: Millions snap up new Germany-wide public transit ticket

There was already a 9€ ticket last year, while I wansnt in Germany at that time I didn't read a lot about overcrowding. With a more expensive ticket the effect will probably be even smaller today, though in the long run all trains will probably get more filled up.
