Who said they do?
But I think they make most people uncomfortable for the same reason cults do. The sort of wide-eyed enthusiasm and unwavering belief in the moral supremacy of their position. To lots of people who are made "uncomfortable" by vegans the fact that they act a little culty is probably the reason. Though, for the record, I don't think "most" people are made uncomfortable by vegans. "Most" people view vegans with a combination of amusement and apathy. Right wing wackdoos probably hate the idea of them but probably haven't met any.
But I don't know anyone who's ever uncomfortable with a vegan because they feel like their own choices have been put up under the spotlight, or they had to look in the mirror didn't like what they see. That's almost hilariously, narcissistically oblivious. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Some quick notes about negative electricity prices:
- The negative prices come from an algorithm essentially begging the renewable to turn off because the transmission lines cannot handle the amount of electricity being generated, so the renewable ends up having to pay up money for its excess generation. This is generally considered a *not* optimal outcome (but can be somewhat fixed in the long term with more investment into the electric grid, and also setting up batteries near the wind farm).
- Electricity prices generally settle at whatever it costs to generate the next MW of electricity at something like a natural gas plant- the renewable collects that money even though its own cost of production is 0. This results in free-ish money. Negative prices, although good for the consumer in the short term, have the adverse effect of making renewables less attractive to invest in. If you have a bunch of wind farms, and the next wind farm you make will induce more negative prices that affect all your existing wind farms, it makes you not want to make more and it also makes you complain to your local politician about making it harder for others to do so.
- Negative electricity prices are more common than you'd think... at least locally. For example, west Texas has a ton of renewable generation- see anything with WEST here https://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_spp.html | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
There's a difference between wholesale power prices and retail power prices. California especially has been seeing negative wholesale power prices for years.

No matter how cheap energy itself gets what you are paying for is the actual physical grid, and texas and california have a whole lot of land to cover in that grid. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Did you smell the batteries? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Negative prices are even more a symptom of inadequate transmission lines. Unfortunately, construction of transmission lines have to go through certain monopoly utility companies that have no interest in paying more for electricity so there is little incentive to build them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

They also have a lot of nuclear (ref: electricity map, a really cool app that shows the different types of electricity created and the CO2 impact).
I believe that helps. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
This isn't an investment issue it's a technical one: existing battery tech isn't suitable for grid scale storage. Round trip inverter losses alone are a significant barrier for AC generated power (PV could skip this if the batteries are local).
And it's not like people aren't trying: inventing a viable grid scale storage solution would turn any company immediately into Nvidia. Unfortunately wishing something existed is not the same as actually inventing it.
Pumped hydro and similar storage schemes are what is needed in the short term, unfortunately these tend to be environmentally catastrophic and hugely unpopular so rarely get built in the west.
What is really needed is joined up thinking: there's no point in pouring state money into building more green generating capacity if it's just going to sit idle. The money could instead be spent on more R&D to solve the other problems. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Except imposing a cost on China will mean imposing cost on West itself depending on how each countries do trade with China. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
NATO must really want an open conflict to threaten China with punishment. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is an important and powerful voice speaking on behalf of dozens of nations. His call for direct and costly actions against China by all western nations will not cause the Chinese to cower in fear. His aggressive forward deployment of nuclear weapons are meant to reduce the reaction time of China. NATO retains nuclear first strike authorization. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Time to move factories out of it, that's what is feeding them.
Global jurisdiction over labor rights & environmental standards would have done the job.
And also keeping Western corporations legally bound to Western labor & environmental standards, even if they operate elsewhere - also to their subsidiaries, partners, supply chain.
We haven't done any of it.
And the general population as customers, too often are willing to buy cheap Chinese shit over better alternatives just because it's cheaper.
We've been slowly feeding a demon. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

It sounds like, from the article, that they're still providing support, just not within Ukraine itself; they're training in places like Poland. The headline makes it sound like they're pulling support, but that doesn't seem to be the case. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

For each artifact they take from Crimea, Ukraine should blow up one of the monuments in Moscow with a drone. Kazan cathedral, St. Basil's cathedral, the Bolshoi, Novodevichy. Basically one artifact taken = one onion dome shattered. Peter the Great statue counts as half a dome.
The Russia those represented is gone now, anyway. It's a shame any of them still stand, let alone all of them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

> It's not, IF, it's WHEN.
No, it really is "IF". None of Russia, India or China will want to use the currency of the other and none of them will want to create a new shared currency because Russia and China like to manipulate their currency when it suites them and you can't do that anywhere near as easily when you aren't the only controller of the currency.
> but their plan is a currency backed by a basket of commodities essentially. OIL of course being the main one.
Yep because Russia is (or was ever) thriving because of oil right? What happens when the oil supply runs out or when people just don't want it anymore? You need to remember The West is moving away from oil (slowly, sure, but they are) and even countries like S.Arabia are realising that you can't bank on oil forever. The other commodities (like Chinese production) relies both it remaining cheap enough to be the most popular pick (before you consider the risk that the Chinese government can pose to people willing to set up their production there) and other nations wanting it as much as they want the USD. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Lot of respect to him for his courageous call out. He should be commended for stepping up to make the righteous call, using his platform & appeal. All famous people that care for the good of their country should take his lead, and speak up before it is too late. They should not cower or simply sit by and expect for magical goodness to happen for their country. They should do all they can to educate and make the good happen. Too much is at stake for the civilization ahead. Hope people will choose decency, civility and inclusiveness over craziness & divisiveness. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Ukraine war briefing:
>Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said Ukrainian forces were gradually pushing Russian troops out of parts of Kharkiv they have fought over since May. His top commander, Oleksandr Syrskyi, predicted the Russians would try to press forward pending the arrival in Ukraine of sophisticated western equipment, including US-made F-16 fighter jets. Syrskyi also said Russian forces were concentrating their firepower on the Donetsk region, particularly on the Pokrovsk front.
>Oil depots were on fire after a drone attack early on Tuesday in the town of Azov in the Rostov region of Russia’s south-west, its governor said. “In Azov, tanks with petroleum products caught fire as a result of a UAV [drone] attack. According to preliminary data, there are no casualties. The ministry of emergency situations unit organised extinguishing of the open fire. The head of the regional department for civil defence and emergency situations went to the scene.” Azov and its ports sit on the Don river, which flows into the Sea of Azov bordering Ukraine and Russia.
>A Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s east-central Poltava region on Monday injured 22 people, including three children, and damaged homes and power lines, knocking out electricity for more than 55,000 consumers, the regional governor said. Ukraine’s general prosecutor’s office said the attack was carried out with an X-59 cruise missile.
>Vladimir Putin has said that Russia highly appreciates North Korea “firmly supporting the special military operations of Russia being conducted in Ukraine”. North Korea is accused by Ukraine’s allies of illegally selling weapons to Vladimir Putin’s regime. A Pentagon report in May said debris analysis showed Russia was using North Korean ballistic missiles. North Korea has called such claims “absurd”, but thanked Russia for using its UN veto in March to effectively end monitoring of sanctions violations, just as UN experts were starting to investigate the alleged arms transfers.
>Nato’s chief, Jens Stoltenberg, said Putin’s visit to North Korea showed Russia’s war effort in Ukraine had become “dependent” on authoritarian leaders. “Their closest friends and the biggest supporters of the Russian war effort – war of aggression – [are] North Korea, Iran and China,” Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg called for China to face consequences if it keeps up support to Russia. US officials say China is undertaking is a major export push to rebuild Russia’s defence industry. China says it is conducting normal trade with Russia and not sending lethal aide into the conflict.
>Denmark has said it is considering ways to stop a shadow tanker fleet carrying Russian oil through the Baltic Sea. Since western countries imposed a price cap, Russia has relied on often ageing tankers based and insured outside the west. Other Baltic Sea states and EU members were also involved in addressing the “international problem” posed by the shadow fleet, said Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the Danish foreign minister. Imposing restrictions on ships passing through the straits would be unacceptable and could breach treaty obligations, said Russia’s ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin

Yes Russia is using Chinese golf carts for assaults because they're well-ventilated and not because they've trouble with their equipment numbers.
They're using ancient T-54/55 because they admire the craftsmanship and not because they've lost an absurd number of tanks.
And they're also recruiting soldiers from all over the world because they value international relations and not because their casualty numbers are absurdly high. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
The USSR and Nazi germany agreed to slice Poland in half like a cake.
The treaties that the UK and France entered into were intended to ensure “peace” by “appeasement”, not to jointly invade and occupy another sovereign nation.
