  1. I live in a studio. It's over 70 m2. I think a single person doesn't need more, a couple would need a separate bedroom I think. Size is key, at least 40 to 50 m2.
  2. How about the head of the UN? “Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said. “Our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/humanity-can-still-stop-worst-consequences-of-climate-change-but-time-is-running-out-ipcc-warns The IPCC has just released its 2021 report and the big takeaway is that time is running out for the planet unless policies are enacted now to halt climate change. The IPCC has made it crystal clear the future is now and that we have only decades to stop the damage before it hits the point of no return. https://monacolife.net/ipcc-says-humanity-needs-reality-check/ In recent years a number of prominent figures have warned of the possibility of human extinction as a result of man-made climate change https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/human-extinction-it-is-possible-20140402-zqpln.html
  3. Link to this BS please? Actually, don't, it's off topic. A bank failure is a little more difficult to predict than when the evidence is staring us in the face. We can safely predict that we are gone by 2100 if we don't do something about climate change. We like to think we are a bit smarter than in 1920. We can actually know that we are headed for extinction by 2100 if we don't plan.
  4. Your narrative is getting a bit stale 'ol fella. Tracking the EV battery factory construction boom across North America Here's where the US stands on EV battery production, 1 year after the Inflation Reduction Act was signed The onshoring of battery manufacturing for EVs started as a trickle during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it’s a tsunami. In 2019, just two battery factories were operating in the United States with another two under construction. Today there are about 30 battery factories either planned, under construction or operational in the country. https://techcrunch.com/2023/08/16/tracking-the-ev-battery-factory-construction-boom-across-north-america/
  5. That's been tried for decades. What do you think they have been doing?
  6. 'Reprehensible': Top FL newspaper blames Miami for allowing Enrique Tarrio 'to exist in plain sight' Miami Herald points out that years before the insurrection, "Miami already knew about this guy. Tarrio was a stain on this community long before Jan, 6, when he was parading around with a bullhorn and a bunch of other black-shirted men, his extremism on full display during gatherings at places like Versailles." Yes, Trump incited the assault on Congress — and encouraged the Proud Boys to 'stand back and stand by' in 2020 — but Tarrio was instrumental in carrying it out," the board emphasizes. https://www.rawstory.com/reprehensible-top-fl-newspaper-blames-miami-for-allowing-enrique-tarrio-to-exist-in-plain-sight-2664981261/
  7. I believe Biden personally pinned the medal on the soldier.
  8. Apart from the laws to ban them and then the laws required to prevent ownership. But you know it';s impossible as guns are made world wide. Far better to restrict ownership.
  9. The single most common weapon used in mass shootings in the US is the AR-15.The weapon is special for gun nuts and mass shooters. https://time.com/6278608/ar-15-rifle-assault-weapons-uvalde/
  10. Sure it would work. Interesting that you advocate a solution which involves the UN. Apart from the sheer unlikelihood of this solution ever becoming a reality you obviously aren't serious because this is a fanciful proposition. Just trolling, I guess.
  11. Most of the cases have been tried and the defendants have been found to be competent to stand trial. Mental illness is only a small part of the problem.
  12. So, you can assure kids that their concerns about being blown away at school are overblown?
  13. None of those laws has been implemented in the US, I said those policies had worked elsewhere. What are you talking about?
  14. Outlawing certain classes of gun and implementing a gun buy back has been shown to work elsewhere. The second amendment rights to own a firearm is already limited. It's quite a lot more difficult to own a tommy gun than an ar-15, for example.
  15. According to joint polls published by CNN and the SSRS Institute: A majority of Americans support stricter gun control law; and 64% of Americans support stricter gun control laws, while 36% oppose it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_on_gun_control_in_the_United_States
  16. They should have charged him a year ago. For some reason the FBI dragged its feet. Why? Political interference? If you're thinking of the way in which Donald Trump led an effort to steal the 2020 election, the Department of Justice and the FBI together waited 15 months to launch a formal investigation into that matter. The problems, however, was there was a lot of evidence that Donald Trump and at least many of his allies were possibly engaged in a crime - that efforts to pressure the vice president and efforts to basically pressure state officials to declare fraud in their state when there was none. All of those things had a potential criminal statute that could be charged, and the department just simply did not want to look in that direction, according to multiple sources that we spoke with. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/19/1183098037/washington-post-journalist-on-fbis-delayed-investigation-of-trumps-role-in-jan-6
  17. Did he use the walkie talkie to direct the operation? How can Putin be guilty of war crimes, he wasn't even there.
  18. I had a conservative friend who had a gun and his kid was playing with it and accidentally shot him. Another conservative person I heard about had a son who stole his gun and took it to a school where he killed many kids.
  19. Shame about everyone who gets killed while the insurrectionists wait for the government to become totalitarian.
  20. I disagree with that. Very little of the evidence, other than video evidence, that will be presented in court has been publicly shown. Once it does, I think it will change many minds.
