Funny how they never blame the moon landing on democrats.
Republicans could never have accomplished that, because they are without real ambition or vision. They just want more money NOW!

Maybe that idiot shouldn’t be given any attention.

Seems like USA is entering a recession now. Well done Americans for electing Trump to ruin everything, when they were looking up with Biden.
Are there still morons stupid enough to claim Republicans are good for the economy?

I’m not concerned about the economy but the logistics.
They will hopefully get it done, but I doubt they can do it in 3 months.

The article states it’s 30000 users! Doing that is 300 users per day! People who probably also want extra support initially.
It would be extremely impressive to do it that fast.

Nice! AI to moderate bots, finally a site that doesn’t require any human interaction at all. 🤣 🤡

If it’s only air it just gets cloudy, not discolored.
It can be disolored from iron, and that’s not a health problem AFAIK.

I have never heard of anybody here in Denmark who has brown or cloudy tap water. That would simply not be considered acceptable.
Tap water here is always CRYSTAL clear, and generally higher quality than bottled water.

Sad for you, but just because you can’t taste it doesn’t change the fact that water actually has taste.

You are spot on. Water is absolutely not flavorless.

Fortunately I live in a place with high quality clean water, and on a warm day if I’m very thirsty, the taste of water is really really good, it clearly beats any soft drink IMO. I can even prefer it over a cold beer when I’m thirsty!
But even minor contaminants can make it taste way worse, if you live in a house with old plumbing, or if you can see buildup in the metal filter most taps have, the taste of your water is probably influenced by contamination besides Iron from the pipes. Good iron pipes are OK, but new synthetic pipes are better.

If I drink a carbonized mineral water, I can also most definitely taste the carbonation.

If the water smells like rainy weather or wet skin or in some other way smells off, it is probably contaminated. However the water can have a slight metallic smell because there are actually naturally occurring minerals in the water. BUT if your water is discolored, it is definitely contaminated, and drinking it can make you sick.
Our water is pretty high on calcium, but there is for instance also a small amount of lithium. Lower calcium water taste a bit sweeter, so natural water definitely exist that is even better than our water.

Remember always let the tap run for a short while before drinking from it.
If the water doesn’t taste good, it’s probably because it’s not good.

The supreme court was stacked specifically to help topple democracy, so how could anyone see that as politically neutral?

I believe the agreement with Xi included that Chinese students in USA could finish their studies.
But Trump is not trustworthy, and after that for sure…

American society has become sociopathic, and you are definitely not helping.

All claims and no reasoning.

India is not depending on USA in any way, which is why they are not that concerned about USA either.
They probably just have confidence USA will stay arrogant while the ship goes down.

Yes I agree, and of course we hope the insanity will end. But as you write, just because Democrats manage to get elected next time, is not enough to restore trust.
When (if) things return to normal, we can trade and cooperate, but we can’t have any dependence on USA anymore.

It must be tough to be American right now, and I don’t mean inflation, house prices or recession. But the psychological environment must be insanely stressful.
I really feel for the Americans that understand what’s going on, and tried to prevent it.
Personally when Trump got elected, I decided to simply disregard USA as friend and partner. And consider USA as a country as mostly irrelevant now.
Maybe if there’s a revolution, and AOC becomes president, then I would have hope for a quick recovery. But there are not any realistic way I can see for that in the near future.

It’s almost sweet to see Canada has higher confidence than Germany, Spain and Sweden.

A few Canadians simply refuse to give up on USA, and just wish for things to return to normal.

I don’t think so, because Ubuntu is also controlled by a private company, and Ubuntu has issues with open source, making everything they do dual license, meaning they can choose to switch away from open source to proprietary on everything developed within the Ubuntu framework.

So choosing Ubuntu would be incredibly short sighted. Debian is a much stronger candidate. Or an in house distro based on Debian, until a common EU distro is ready, which is already planned.

Which is exactly what many have warned about for 20 years. The Microsoft lock-in is insane.
It’s better to get out sooner rather than later.
But considering most of EU is planning similar transitions, I’d be surprised if they don’t cooperate on making better import of MS formats in Libre Office.

The Danish government is also planning to make guidelines to make a smooth transition easier. Which will be available for private companies too.

Something that may make it easier is that it’s been law for more than a decade, that ALL documents from public services must be made in open standards.

Word isn’t even that great at keeping it’s own formatting

To put it mildly.

It’s only open in name.
