Who in Europe isn't heavily affected by the gas shortage? How is this Germany's fault? To me it seems like a lot of the smaller/weaker countries in Europe just always need a scapegoat to blame when things get difficult.
I love the absolute BS of the world in 2022.

The whole world is supposed to be off fossil fuels by now, and here we are hoping and praying Germany and the rest of the EU gets enough fossil fuels to burn this winter.

How are you in charge of not giving or giving some East European watering holes to Russia? Can you establish the set of facts here.

I can tell that a real NATO deployment to D & L would dramatically change the strategic goal setting of Russia, materially alter the outcome, but not sanctions if that's what you are suggesting as deciding the fate of these places.

Gas prices were already rising since 2020 but yes, the Ukraine/Russia conflict made it worse.

Below a graph from the Dutch TTF Gas Futures from the past 2 years. The contract price is in Euros and Euro cents per MWh.

Edit: those are just numbers on a screen but in real life that means the energy/gas bill increases between 5x - 10x if this continues.
Germany wanted to have and eat it cake too. It worked to an extent during Merkel. They made European South pay the hefty price while humming on their exports using Cheap Russian gas/oil and supplying manufacturing components to china and finished goods to rest of Europe and America.

Russia is not some bit player in Oil and Natural gas industry, 5 million barrels per day ? That is a huge amount of hydrocarbons to replace. Of course, Europe will scramble to find alternatives and before they go cold, will fuck the Global South again from its limited supplies, it already started happening - Pakistan got its NG supplier broke contract and sold gas under contract to Europe.

Europe is going to get screwed but in an effort save its ass it will create a frenzy in global south that would tip many countries into absolute choas.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah, I'm not a fan of the SSO tax (though I respect that they've got to eat).

Yes, but the USD is not the driving factor. It's a coefficient, for sure.

I mean, yes, it's very concerning.

But what's even more concerning is the perspective of the consequences on the next few years. We'll perhaps get a difficult winter and social/political troubles because of that, yes.

But on the balance is: the current Russia powers overcoming this and succeeding to establish something completely different in Europe through war.

Plus the incertitude as to USA's support, provided that we now know they may as well elect something as disastrous as Trump in 2 years time.

Or perhaps the right mental model is to treat help from others as negative waves. When you anticipate a particularly busy “rogue wave” you arrange help with shopping, food prep, family care, etc., to cancel out some portion of that wave.
Yes, with the following exceptions:

- YouTube has content that I enjoy and isn't available elsewhere. I know that it stores my history but I find its recommendations and multi-device support good enough that I consider it worth it. (Also, FWIW, you can disable the history using [0], it also has an autodelete, though I don't use it)

- I drive and in my region, nothing is good enough for driving directions aside from Google Maps. I've tried all the other major apps on iOS like TomTom, Sygic etc. but they just don't work well enough.

- Again, while driving, I use Android Auto on a device dedicated to that purpose. It's also the only situation where I use Google's voice recognition. I do so because I speak English in my daily life (e.g. song titles) but my region is German-speaking (e.g. places/street names/business names/addresses) and I need to be able to use both while driving. Only Google Assistant/Android Auto can be configured to recognise two languages.

Exactly! Part III or IV will end up talking about boring techniques of the 1650s (long before the famous John Wilkinson methods), but that is precisely the thing with Savery engines - and indeed with Newcomen engines, which worked with pistons long before Wilkinson too!

Sure you could. But do you actually do that often? If you eat like me, you're eating two large pizzas a night two or three times a week.

If you stay thin, I guarantee you don't eat as much as me. At least not unless you have an activity level comparable to an actively training Olympic athlete.

EA has changed a lot in those years, mostly for the better. I spent 13 years there from 2005-2018 and it was a great place to work; the people were great, the problems were interesting, and the hours were normal.
The political message was always wishful thinking - even with Germany’s massive spend, there was never a realistic way to replace baseline heating needs in the winter without spending at least 10x more.

Most off grid systems have some sort of generator for the long stretches of cloudy days, and in a cold climate, pretty much everyone uses fossil fuels for heating off grid due to the energy density, reliability, and low cost.

Anything else starts being really cost prohibitive if you do the math on ‘I get X amount of heat during these long tail scenarios or the pipes burst/I freeze’.

Physics is a bitch.
When I interviewed at a medium sized game studio, mostly known for their graphically impressive engine, I asked to have another offer (different industry) matched. The recruiters response was that they couldn't do it, but they know I'll still choose them "because making games is cool".

Suffice to say I didn't take that offer. Studio tour was fun though.
I suspect that your experience comes from working at EA in a leadership capacity, whereas the toxicity complaints come from the front-line workers (IE, SWE, QA).
This assumes that, if allowed to win in Ukraine, Russia would return to normal gas and oil deliveries. I’m not sure there is a way back to regular trade now, Russia has essentially, if not literally, declared war on much more than just Ukraine.

The thing that the west is unwilling to do is give the Ukrainians cruise missiles. The Russians have lots and lots of these in the form of Kalibr and Iskander missiles that they launch from ships and mobile launchers and it seems to be making all the difference.

You can't just say "he's a traitor" and it makes him guilty. Even if he is, he's also a human being. Labeling people as "traitor" and dismissing their humanity is pretty weak.
I mean, are you suggesting we go to war with Russia directly? That's not going to help with the natural gas shortage.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but it could some day, I don't know, obviously if Russia attacks... well, in the meantime, I don't think we should be giving Russia more money it can use to further develop its military.

Chinese characters do not always have a clearly defined, unambiguous, meaning when gazed upon on their own in isolation. But they do acquire a specific meaning when used in a specific context. Typically, when complemented with other characters (it varies across Chinese languages, e.g. Chinese words tend to be shorter in spoken Cantonese as opposed to spoken Mandarin due to the historical loss of multiple finals in the latter as the former has retained many original sounds from Middle Chinese, hence also the historical divide). The context is very important in the Chinese languages.

For example, 夷 (the main character compounding the word 蠻夷, a «barbarian») – on its own – means «wild» or «ferral»; it can also be used to refer to a massacre (夷族 or 夷戮), but it can also be used to mean «calm», as in 夷然 (a fringe written word).

Most translations to European languages have historically used approximations due to the lack of the comprehension of a culture unfamiliar to Europeans. Therefore, the Greek word for «barbaric» / «barbarian» has been used as the closest appoximation of the meaning of 夷, but not it does not equate to its true semantic meaning for a native speaker.
About 15 years ago I adopted an informal low-carb diet: I started by skipping instant breakfast for breakfast and ended by adopting the Carl’s Jr. lettuce-wrapped burgers for lunch.

The goal was to change my cholesterol (it worked), not lose weight, and I ate however much I wanted.

But at the same time I lost 30 pounds over about three months. I didn’t even notice the change for the first month. I wasn’t fat to start, and by the end I was startlingly thin. Anecdotal, obviously.

This is a genuine question to ask for a lot of policy decisions that directly affect the person asked. I think it's fair to say "no I wouldn't be fine with it if I were on the margin", but still think it's a good idea. What is good for the individual, may be bad for society in the long term.

Which is a really callus and harsh position to take.

What credentials, intel do you have to back this up? I've heard a lot of evidence to support the contrary. The sanctions are working, Russia is just telling us they're not and that's what the rooble is so highly valued right now.

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed
...
Of the 42,200,614 persons included in the study
population, 2,539 (0.006%) were hospitalised or died from myocarditis during the study period;
552 (0.001%) of these events occurred during 1-28 days following any dose of vaccine
...
First, we confirm and extend our previous findings in more than 42 million persons that the risk
of hospitalization or death from myocarditis following COVID-19 infection is higher than the risk
associated with vaccination in the overall population.
...
Despite more myocarditis events occurring in older persons, the risk following COVID-19
vaccination was largely restricted to younger males aged less than 40 years, where the risks of
myocarditis following vaccination and infection were similar. However, the notable exception
was that in younger males receiving a second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine, the risk of
myocarditis was higher following vaccination than infection, with an additional 101 events
estimated following a second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine compared to 7 events following a
positive SARS-CoV-2 test
...
Third, although we were able to include 2,136,189 children aged 13 to 17
years old in this analysis, the number of myocarditis events was too small (n=43 in all periods
and n=15 in the 1-28 days post vaccination) in this population and precluded an evaluate of risk.
...
In summary, the risk of hospital admission or death from myocarditis is greater following
COVID-19 infection than following vaccination and remains modest following sequential doses
of mRNA vaccine including a third booster dose of BNT162b in the overall population. However,
the risk of myocarditis following vaccination is consistently higher in younger males, particularly
following a second dose of RNA mRNA-1273 vaccine.

I'm not sure that this strongly supports your apparent position.

> recent studies indicate vaccinated persons take longer to clear recent Omicron variants than those who have refused the vaccines... so younger people aren't helping anyone else by subjecting themselves to the risks of the vaccines

Except that absolute risk of getting infected in the first place is decreased in a vaccinated cohort. Which is pointed out by the same study you're referencing: "vaccination has been shown to reduce the incidence of infection and the severity of disease." So that kind of sounds like a way in which they might be helping both themselves and "anyone else."

> And myocarditis and pericarditis aren't the only severe or fatal adverse effects being observed.

What else? At what rates? Because I've certainly care for plenty of (by and large unvaccinated) people that have died from the disease, young (20s-30s, thankfully none younger have died in my care) as well as old.

> It's madness.

In that we agree.
Author here - Yes that is exactly what it does. I'll compile it for the Mac later today and load it on the Scrumdog.app website. Thanks for your comments.
Not OP but i suspect they’re ok with it because the other option is giving in to an authoritarian regime that is intent on expansion. I.e. war on their doorstep.

The realpolitik is speeding up the transition off oil and gas, and energy independence.
Part of the reason Germany is still stuck on fossil fuels was the ultimatums of the environmentalists that killed their nuclear power. IMO if they really care about the environment they need to chill out so people can work out how to transition. Hard rules like this will first result in desperation which causes people to make sub-optimal choices like you're seeing now and eventually economic collapse which will absolutely destroy the environment (think of all the messes the USSR made when it fell apart.) Whatever regime replaces the one that causes this probably will care a lot less about the environment too.

Resistance heaters are a very inefficient way to heat (yes, I know they are 100% efficient), and I wonder if the grid could handle a significant number of homes switching to electrical resistance heat?

Hopefully the government is already incentivizing switching to heat pumps, but that's not a quick solution.

Because unlike regular grunts, the top brass' lives actually matter somewhat even in Russia and with enough VIPs killed, the rest of the Kremlin gang will start to entertain second thoughts about the entire "special military operation".
I suggest the following:

those who support the vAlUeS should stop consuming ALL products from China and energy from Russia

those who dont care should get those products to normal prices

This is fair. Then we will see how many people actually support all this political bullshit.
That he likes calling out an occasional hypocrite now and then, and is familiar with Russian power dynamics in the west?
The current problem in Germany is/was their political class is slow-walking aid to Ukraine under the general idea that the war will end and "normal relations" with Russia will mean that the ridiculous dependence on foreign gas supplies can be continued.

The alternative question, the one which should be being handled right now though is what % of people need support, and how do you help without worsening the problem? How quickly can you install solar, batteries and air-sourced heat pumps? What financing scheme gets the best bang for buck while helping those least able to afford the market fluctuation?

The question isn't "would you be fine with it at the margin?" - because the only reason to ask it is to sidle up to "maybe we should appease the nazis/just kind of not think about the genocide" under the auspices of "well there was no other choice so it's not really an immoral one".

The much better question is one of political accountability: why was the country made so vulnerable to this situation? Why were the vulnerable in the country made the most susceptible to this situation? Why were the alternatives ignored? And why is bold action not being taken now to fix this?
Kagi isn't a Google/Bing proxy, it's independent. Its quality is similar or better than Google/Bing.
Don't (ever!) give up on life, be patient, be reasonable/honest/kind toward yourself & others, and continue forward. Things will eventually be OK (even if hard), especially if we try to do what we know is right.

And to help find purpose and real balance in life, I have thought & written much at my simple web site (in profile; hopefully very skimmable; no sales; see the "things I want to say" (about 1/2-way down), then "purpose in life..." and its sibling "on peace amid commotion", and feel free to send comments). Again, things can be OK.

To bring joy and stability, I think one's purpose needs to be realistic and partly or largely unselfish, and well-founded.
Indeed!

The heaters them themselves are cheap, but running them is not. I've done the calculation for my situation last year in Germany, and using the gas heating came out much cheaper (at least with gas prices last year). I think that's because most portable electric room heaters are not as efficient as the built in gas-based heaters. Does anyone know more about this topic?

We can do without energy from a rough state. We have 1-2 hard years ahead but I believe Europe will rebound stronger. It made no sense to have such close relationships with someone like Putin or be so dependent on fossil fuels. I take it as an opportunity for Europe and the whole world.

Well-noticed! I used one of Fludd’s illustrations, but I ran out of space writing about Drebbel, which took us up to c.1607. Fludd will feature VERY heavily in Part III. Fludd eventually became totally obsessed with the inverted flask experiment - and recent historiography suggests he wasn’t seen as a crank, but actually highly respected at the time.

I don't have any hard data on this, that's just my experience / opinion =)
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia to Europe is currently off. Its a planned maintenance however. But what if they run into "issues" and the maintenance takes a few weeks? A month? Pure speculation of course, but these things do happen. I doubt they would keep it off forever, Putin likes Europe being dependent on him.
If (and that's a big if) Putin "finishes off" Ukraine, do you really think it's just back to normal for Europe/Russia relations?
