Arabic and Chinese then.

As an Indian, I just hope they steal someone else’s sacred symbol this time.

I agree, but the UN is useful only when countries pay at least lip service to its decisions. Israel is attacking UN aid workers. Anyway, they won’t get kicked as long as the US defends them, so it’s just a symbolic vote.

The Linux kernel (the code) is open-source. Linux Foundation (the people who write said code) is headquartered in the US. The US can decide what Linux Foundation can and cannot do, who works there, etc. They can’t control who uses the code.

I’m guessing most IoT devices are made in China (or increasingly Southeast Asia), so yes.

Because (1) lithium contamination is a much, much, smaller problem than climate change and (2) we shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Of course, if the EU is combining taxes on EV import with an equivalent investment in public transport or cycling / walking infrastructure, I wouldn’t be complaining.

Subsidizing production does not … from China anyways (eg. batteries).

I’m asking why the EU isn’t subsudising their domestic EV industry and starting a competition in electric propulsion technology. That would benefit everyone, except maybe the oil lobby.

one should disincentivize internal combustion vehicles by adding taxes to them

Why not both? And preferrably better subsidies for public transport / cycles / footpaths, etc.

avoid misusing words like “terrorist” because, when misused this way

If killing a handful of people is terrorism, what would you call trying to kill the entire human race (along with thousands of random other species)? ‘Terrorist’ is, if anything, too mild a word to describe such filth.

They saw the red cross symbol and thought it was the x mark on the target. (/s)

Pretty sure the joke is that the company got taken over by a Nazi. The original owners would have been lucky to escape with their lives.

these US assets are present at the express request of the Kurdish militia, which is formed by the people who actually live there who got sick and tired of the oppression of the religious fundamentalist regime

So like the Russian military units that are present at the express request of the Donetsk and Lugansk militias, which is formed by the people who actually live there [and] who got sick and tired of the oppression of the Ukrainian state?

China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general)

And that’s a bad thing? Any sensible government is going to subsidise renewable energy and electric vehicles. It makes both economic and environmental sense. Anyone not doing this is an idiot and a climate terrorist.

The best course of action for India is to remain neutral and trade with everyone. Whatever mistakes the current government is making, they have fortunately understood this principle.

I think the concern is that some group will launch a dirty bomb at Israel, Israel will retaliate with nukes, and then the best case scenario is ‘only’ thousands dying. Oh, and did I mention that a dirty bomb can make a pretty large area uninhabitable for decades?

Hydrogen.

You can’t generate helium unless you have a fusion reactor.

Actually, nuclear powered flying T. rex sounds cool, so let’s go with it.

Then there’d be one really deep print as they kicked off.

I’m guessing the destroyers are doing something beyond just than praying they don’t get hit.

In India, you might throw gazillion-dollar weddings for your children.

If throwing lavish parties was all our oligarchs did, I’d be happy. I know Indira Gandhi did a lot of horrible things, but sometimes I wish we elect someone like her again, to once again put the fear of nationalisation into these leeches.

Wouldn’t this violate the EU’s DMA?

This is some Mushi-shi level theory.

That already exists. It’s called arXiv, and is used by mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. Everyone else has to pay up.
