The issue being that of those 17 nuclear plants, the youngest was completed over 30 years before Fukushima. Germany had stopped construction of new nuclear plants way before 2011.
I agree they shouldn’t have closed ones already built of course. That was indeed a knee jerk reaction.
It takes only 5 years to build a nuclear power plant, (…)
I agree with most of the comment, but this is just an oversimplification. I’m sure that you can build a nuclear power plant in 5 years, if you have the requisite infrastructure, engineers and knowledge. Germany did not have any of those in sufficient amount to build anywhere near enough nuclear reactors between the decision to switch to coal & gas in around 2011 and the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Even France wouldn’t be capable of that in such a short amount of time.
Had they made that decision 30 years ago, sure, but in such short time? No way.
If profit drives Putin, why Ukraine and not another neighbour who hasn’t been courting NATO and accepting western money, weapons, training, etc since at least circa 2014? The answer is because the US chose Ukraine to provoke Russia.
Well, there’s really no reason to use hard power on any country that hasn’t been courting NATO. You can just use soft power (Belarus, Kazakhstan) in that case. Precisely when this ceases to work and a country does starts approaching Russia’s rivals, Russia appears to employ their military power (Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine).
Well, to be fair, it is a depiction of a bicycle.
Don’t you want a dominant gene? Anyway, if you want to know more watch: Unnatural Selection, Episode 3. It’s on Netflix and worth a watch, it discusses gene drive in detail.
By adding half the peaches in secondary. The peach flavour is subtle but it is definitely present. I also used a cider yeast, so it was nearly at its ABV limit when the peaches were added, maybe that helped slow down the fermentation as well.

In terms of advise, don’t bother simmering your honey as this will remove a lot of the flavour and buy some yeast nutrient if you want to drink it early. The nutrient will make your mead drinkable without having to age it for over a year, cause yeast needs nitrogen and unhappy yeast makes rocket fuel that needs to age out. When in doubt, age it out. Apart from that, just play around, use the GotMead calculator to estimate ABV and have fun.
It’s pretty well balanced compared to my previous meads. I used a cider yeast which resulted in a slight residual sweetness and the acid from the peaches and strawberries balances it pretty well. I also added some pepper corns in secondary, though not much of that made it through.
I find it hard to describe, perhaps as slightly chemical floral flavour and a bit of harshness. Honestly, it’s pretty minor and I’m happy with the result overall. I personally think it might be the result of using cheapish honey and maybe some oxidation. I’m a bit lax when it comes to oxidation because I only make small batches and don’t have the right equipement to properly avoid it.
I agree with the comic. I do however disagree with the title. I think the Hamas’ attack shouldn’t to be called “resistance”, just as Israel’s response shouldn’t be called “self defense”.
