I did read that short article in the Independent from your link. I did not know the scale of the desertions before reading the article but considering the intensity of modern bombs, 100,000 to 200,000 over nearly 3 years is not totally surprising. By the spring, Ukraine will get a lot more F16s...

I guess they do because oil based power generators are the only proven technology solution and oil can be easily delivered to site. The new hyperspace data centres will need to have their own nuclear SMR or built in desert or over a volcano or in low orbit above the earth.

There is no reason why Ukraine should concede. It's a war of attrition, like the first world war. Ukraine, the defending side, has the advantage as long as it is supported by NATO to supply it with money and weapons. If you just look at recruitment issues, both sides have the same problems, not...

Don't you want datacentres in Ireland? How about all the other energy intensive industries such as ammonia (fertilisers), aluminium, steel, cement etc? Close them all? Datacentres buy electricity from renewables.

How long ago did you watch the video you posted? You can see in that video, Orban compared the numbers of Russians working in Germany (about 600,000) and France (about 500,000) to his numbers, 6000 Russians working in Hugary. His point is the EU shows hypocrisy when criticising his government...

Are you really interested in power consumption of data centres and Nvidia GPUs? Also, it's not the social media that use a lot of computing power but AI. They still need a lot of training. Soon, AI can teach themselves, so the need of training may be limited but we all want voice and video user...

Nissan share drops 38% in 2024, its bonds get to junk status. It has to find new investors to prop up its ability to deal with short term debts within the next 18 months. Otherwise, it will be really in troubles. Nissan Motor Co Ltd (NSANY) Price & News - Google Finance

6000 Russians, 3000 work permits issued by Hungary in one year. The growth is noticeable. Hungary is now in schengen. The EU wants Hungary to apply stricter security checks on Russian and Belarussian nationals. It's not hypocrisy when EU is taking Ukrainian side.

The difference with France is in the low pay employments such as cleaning, gardening, child minding, dog walking etc. I pay 50 euros for someone sitting on a lawnmower for 20-30 minutes, 25 euros for a 15 minute hair cut. In Southend, cash in hand £10 an hour, haircut £11. After covid, a lot of...

Chinese style democracy marginalises those who want to be politically active. People just have to trust that their government will do the right thing by them. I prefer our style of Western democracy, even with Trump winning recently and similar wins for the right in Italy, Netherlands, Austria...

That amount of CO2 is just from when they are not allowed to use the grid. Their total emissions could be 20 times higher if they are totally off grid. You can see the importance of storage batteries.

If we just leave it to market forces,China will gobble this market totally. You can see that in the number of scientific papers on battery development. Mostly written by Chinese scientists. we need to invest strategically more than our competitors in R&D. I think only the EU can do that but if...

Nissan is pretty much knackered. Cancelling EVs timetable won't help any of the old ICE car manufacturers because the world moves in that same direction. It's like making steel framed bikes against aluminium framed bikes. Some like the iconic Brompton still sell but the volume isn't there. There...

Their facilities are heavily subsidised. They can afford all those things because the Chinese economy generates a trillion dollars trade surplus every year and growing. A young graduate starting salary is 1300 dollars a month but they can afford a rented flat. Our starting salary is double that...

It takes about 30 man hours to assemble an ICE car, 11 hours to assemble an electric car. Adding to the huge increase in efficiency, modern design and new facilities in new EV factories, China accounts previously for about one third of the world market for cars and trucks, the ice car industry...

Did anyone see the revised immigration figures? Year to June 2023: 906k Year to July 2024: 780k 97% are legal immigration. We need them, mostly carers and students. Migration figures live update: Net migration to UK hit record 906,000 in year to June 2023, revised figures show - BBC News

the car market is already saturated. There are few new customers and they are not in western Europe. China used to be a very big car customers for for EU producers but that market is now practically dead because of EVs. There has to be brutal reduction in capacity. No way around it. European EV...

It's not only in the UK, french car industry is going through similar closures too. Paris stock market has lost 13% in the last 6 months, entirely macron's fault.

In those two examples, I would rather discuss the facts than being argumentative. If you think the glass of water from the tap has come through 10 people then you need to discuss the reasoning. Depending where you live but statistically over time, the water that goes in your glass is mostly...

both use same techniques, kill germs then rinse with clean water. No difference really. There was a BBC video showing how Dutch tumbled chicken breasts are processed. Did you see it?
