@Evenkeeld once you’ve committed to a team you’re weak to their bullshit. Doesn’t matter which team.

that train of thought was after listening to the Hardcore history addendum with Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook

all three roughly (Tom Holland has a few hintergedank) toe the party line r.e. Ukraine and Putin but one can't make the case that they are uniformed or completely captured

society will always be there and by definition it's full of people you disagree with

deal with it, one way or another

it's remarkable how siloed people have become in the information they credit, and what is most fascinating is the way that all of them are right in their own way

fedi is important from this perspective, yet it's important to find more "mainstream" sources that you can respect and credit

otherwise it's slow descent into full schizo

anyone ever tried to repair a kindle?

got wet last year and I've just come across it during a "spring" clean, do I bin it or is there something I can do?

@11112011 you're more interesting when you don't kneejerk shitpost

@11112011 the way I see it, the sanctions give China et al. a huge arbitrage opportunity

you can build pipelines all you want, without capex into new sources the price rise will remain, accepting that short term speculative pumps will die down

@skells The UK’s reliance on Russian gas is far less significant, at just 3 per cent.

About half of the UK’s gas comes from the North Sea, and a third is sourced from Norway.

The rest is made up of imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transported to the UK by sea from countries such as Qatar and the US. The Russian gas that the UK receives also comes in LNG form ?

reality is an illusion albeit a persistent one

zoomer translation:

it's a reality show but you can't change the channel
