Not to get into politics but the Germans have nuclear hysteria that is jeopardizing the climate change targets. You hear more and more scientists saying the same thing - without nuclear we will not make it when it comes to CO2 reduction.

What is even more hilarious is that France - a border country - has 56 active nuclear reactors and plans to build more. What do you think will happen, a wind will just blow the other way?

They've shot themselves in the feet. And they're starting to become a real fucking millstone.

Saw this on the dark souls 2 subreddit, gave me a laugh.

The skiers have been falling and given little practice because of Covid.

Nothing wrong with trying to get paid. But the reason of: trying to inspire kids in her mother's country of birth is a bit transparent. Replace her mother's country of birth with Vietnam and I don't think she'll give a damn about inspiring kids there.

I'd respect her way more if she just said I'm trying to get those $$&¥¥.

Also. On topic. I like the venue, makes me think that Ridge Racer cars are racing on the streets below.

She really loves money, working for that 50 cent Army one tweet at a time.

Onlyfans is where the real money is made girrrrrl!

WTF man.

A dirty little 'secret' but major ski resorts have used artificial snow to keep their pistes attractive during low snowfall for decades now. It's part of the reason why lift passes are so damn expensive.

That said, this Olympics is on another level entirely and absolutely disgusting.

She said China has open internet.

Official business VPNs exist in China, so they will have one hooked up to the Olympic village WIFI.

What's been remarkable to me is the almost total lack of snow. All the snow for the events is man-made, and the surrounding landscape is completely bare. Not much of a winter wonderland.

"Nuclear" winter wonderland...

thread title on point!

And these guys are going to rule the world within our life time! Can't wait.

It's motivation to do better. Miss a jump? You end up in nuclear waste.

Beijing’s big air jumps at the 2022 Winter Olympics look like a dystopian hellscape

The big air ramps inside a former Beijing steel mill have created a surreal backdrop at the Winter Olympics.

this really the best place they could come up with to set up this event?

Looks like a Digital Foundry graphics settings comparison.

Erin Jackson winning the Gold was really cool. She is a UF student and just won Gold in 500m speed skate sprint.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

WTF man.

China gonna China. Only CCP shills are really surprised.
